To be fair, it started out as a set of ML notes and code snippets to piece together LLM applications. Its popularity resulted in more feature requests and contributions later on. Without a good up-front architecture (or spending time thinking about it), no wonder it starts making creaking noise.
My personal preference is Llama Index by Jerry Liu. It excels at clearer docs + better abstraction.
First of all, thanks for building it and as a user, the product is solid that matches the needs well. Note that I used 'matches' not 'solves' as the problem itself is so messy and difficult that a product like this could help but fundamentally it requires two people working together, which is super hard.
My way of somehow hacking it is to come in with low or no expectation. There are otherwise tons of great people on YC co-founder matching site, and almost all conversations I've had were excellent. Even if it didn't help me find a cofounder, I still rate the product highly.
Had a look at those lists you made, impressive. I will hit you with an email to start the converstion, I'm based in London as it looks like you are too?
Doing a trial project together is a wise move as entering into a partnership to build a business requires a leap of faith; whatever you could rely on to derisk would help.
I'm in a similar position right now, maybe we could connect and see if there's any common ground?
