@yarobagriy Justin is pretty open on Twitter, and has a community too with MegaMakers that people can join. Not sure I'd call that impossible.
@owenfar1 thank you for the support Owen š we have no intention of going away. Weāre in it for the long term. Also I do agree with you. But offering a free trail or monthly membership will cause a very big influx of people. Also you need more than a month to really get value out of a community. A month simply isnāt enough time. We are adding an application process and interview process soon too.
Just joined this community recently. There are tons of friendly, driven people who are willing to help. Congrats @yarobagriy on the launch!
@janel_loi Thank you for the support! We're so glad you're a member. Looking forward to the discussions and your progress.
Congrats on the launch. I am a big fan of Indie Hackers, and I am glad more resources like this other than Indie Hackers is being produced.
Been a member for a while. It's a friendly & supportive community for indie makers.
Congrats on the launch Yaro!
I have found this community inviting and helpful. Love the drive behind some of the makers that hang out there. Always inspires me.
@thejester12 Thank you Jesse! You're definitely a big contributor to such an amazing community :)
Awesome job @yarobagriy!
On the landing page thereās a lot of focus on how āprivateā it is. Itād be good to explain a little more why you think this is a good thing.
Especially as it goes against the common ābuild in the openā mentality of something like IndieHackers. Maybe private = higher quality, less noisy discussion. Iāve definitely noticed IH can feel a bit spammy these days. Whatever the reason I think itād be good to add it to the copy.
@andycloke Thank you Andy for the feedback! I really appreciate it. I'm all for 'build in the open' but to me I'd rather do it with a private trusted group of friends versus having thousands of people see what you're up to. I guess that's the point of building in public, to get more eyes on it.
Private for IndieStack has lead to less noise and much deeper and detailed conversation. I've been on IH less and less over the months as every post is the same value add + sell your product template. It's great, but many people are looking for something different.
I'll add that to the copy after the launch day. Thank you again for the feedback!
I've been a member of Indiestack for a month or two and I really like it. It's nice to be part of a very supportive community where everyone is pulling for your success. In fact I just got off one of the weekly member chats where several of us shared the things that we are building and shared ideas around how we can market and improve the products. Super glad I found this community. Thanks for building this @yarobagriy
@silverborne Thank you for the support! The meeting this week was amazing! Looking forward to next weeks.
I love the community you're building Yaro - happy to be a part of it and have it as a support network! Congrats on the launch šÆ
Congratulations on the launch!
As one of the early members I wanted to share my experience:
The solo entrepreneur journey is full of ups and downs, emotionally and physically draining. You feel like you have no one to turn to or that nobody understand what you are doing. I have to say that for the first time I have found a community where I genuinely feel like I belong. The IndieStack community brings entrepreneurs from all walks of life in one place. We share our good and bad moments with each other, genuinely help each other by offering tips and feedback and motivate one another. The daily status update keeps me accountable by sharing what I am working on in real-time and seeing what others are working on at the same time. I really like the virtual meetups too. It is a good way to check-in with others, hear what is going on in their lives. We also brainstorm possible ideas and sometimes just hangout. Those meetups are a great way to hear and sometimes see other members which helps me feel less alone in my journey. The forum is also full of resources to help me grow as an entrepreneur.
What makes this community unique is that it feels genuine. It feels like a small neighborhood on the Internet where everyone is hustling trying to better their life and achieving independence (it is a bit corny to say it this way I know but I don't care hahaš
)
Thank you Yaro for creating this amazing community! Keep up the good work!
@charles_eugene_loubao Thank you so much for being such an awesome member :)
@naveh_mevorach I am a member of both but find IndieStack more intimate because of its private nature. I share things and am more vulnerable there than I might be on Indie Hackers because the latter is publicly accessible to anyone browsing the web.
@naveh_mevorach Like Colin said in his comment, it is private. Private means privacy. With the public communities everyone has access to what you post. This could be a turn off for many people who really want to get feedback but with a smaller audience. Also with a private community members are much more engaged. The discussions are much more detailed and in-depth. We have virtual meetups where to discuss peoples products, feedback, ideas, and so much more. It really does feel like a virtual city. A digital family. Sign-up for a year and see for yourself. You won't regret it!
@yarobagriy I might give it a try:)?
But how can you manage who get access to the content.
Does everyone get join the community or there are some terms?
@naveh_mevorach itās available for anyone at the moment but I am developing an application processes now which will have a set of questions. Been working on getting a few other things working first š
Iām working on a project and itās hard to balance my FT gig and family with it, so I figured having a support system would help. Thatās why I joined Indiestack!
As an early member, I have been able to gather lots of feedback for my products before shipping. The community is incredibly tight-knit and genuinely care about each others' success.
If you're looking for a place where you can meet fellow makers, this is it.
@nocodeisaac Thank you Isaac for the support! It's been a blast having you apart of the community. Can't wait to see you launch your new product soon.
If you are on the bootstrapped path, you will love this community. They are amazing!
Reading what they are doing every day and how they overcome every obstacle they encounter fills me with motivation and valuable learning in my desire to become an indie hacker.
@asilvabe Thank you Alejandro :) I'm really glad you're getting a lot of value out of it!
@salil_sethi Thank you for joining! Looking forward to getting to know you :) our indie quests continue!
Amazing community. Worth every penny.
P.S I am a member of this community.
@manikarthik We have a Discord group. It's very active and we love the different channels you can add. Let me know if there are anymore questions.
Intersting, I give it a shot by taking 1 year subscription šš»
Congrats on the launch, Yaroslaw !
@johan_bavaud thank you š looking forward to seeing you in the community š„
@dru_riley Thank you Dru for your support! We've been doing it for about a month now and we're absolutely loving the outcomes. Virtual meetups are the future of communities.
Hey Yaro congrats on the launch! Site looks great, and a lot of helpful topics for Makers.
