Women Make

Hi Product Hunt! 😺 Being an entrepreneur can feel lonely. 💁‍♀️ As a woman, it is even more the case. Two years ago, I was struggling to find fellow female makers to get in touch with. I created a group on Telegram and reached out to the few ones I knew from Twitter. Women Make was born. Today we are a community of 450+ members from all around the 🌏 world, made of entrepreneurs, makers, developers, marketers, designers, and a bunch of other creative people. Women Make is now enriched with a forum, which allows us to have a permanent platform that completes the live chat on Telegram. Women Make is a place to: 👋 find other women makers 👩‍💻 share what you’re working on 🤝 help each other out ❓ ask / answer questions 💬 start a discussion, share what’s on your mind 💪 support each other 🗣 get feedback 🏆 celebrate wins together Although I’m pretty happy with the result, I have lots of other ideas to implement! Let me know what you think, I'd love to hear any feedback you may have. ❤️ A big thank you to @alyssaxuu for the awesome gif she made for the launch, @nfoxnyc for creating a wonderful place for this community on Instagram, as well as all the Women Make supporters. On a side note, Women Make is free, but if you feel generous you can support it on Patreon. If you're a company, you can also be a sponsor.

Seeing the moderation, effort and care Marie puts into the community, makes you reconsider your standards on what an online community is capable of and should be! If you're a woman in tech or maker of things, needless to say, I highly recommend to *definitely* join WM, you'd know why as soon as you join and the friendliest people greet you to get to know you! You'll see from people of all levels from senior coders to beginner designers and senior project managers, from artists and animators to startup founders, and of course makers, an incubator manager brainstorming, people discussing anything from nature, cooking, to deeply philosophical discussions and psychology. You'd think using tools like Slack, Discord or whatever is important, but if WomenMake was using pigeons transferring messages, it'd still be the best community I've been part of (Yes I'm one of the few men in fellow women's community) There are women sharing their daily stories, answering technical questions, asking for advice and people congratulating each other small and big wins. People helping with your landing page to giving you emotional support to go through the hardest times.

Congrats @marie_dm_! Can't wait to use it. :)
