Are you interested in people's setups? (Desk, chair, keyboard, IDE etc?)

Hey team!

I'm working on a new project to curate/collect posts about people's setups like this - https://medium.com/@taylorotwell/how-i-work-october-2018-edition-e66a09931e7f

To keep me focused I've also said to myself that I'm not allowed to write a single line of code before I get 5 finished posts. How would you like to be one of those initial posts?

I have a simple "prompts" document here - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Vje2SbZeQ-eCQufTKbSIWBsT_QiqNwaWQPhBlov3Sow/edit as well as an example post here - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1e5uCKQ0q1BnMQJ1q6t-5GX518OmTehAgXjFaTKxDdQY/edit

Otherwise I'd love to hear what you think about the idea in general!

    Astounding yes!

    Everything from the office setup to the hardware to tech stacks to workflows. It is really interesting to see what other folks are using. Count me as a subscriber.

    I love this idea, Nic.

    I like setup iteration, but how do you know you're making the right decision? Putting it into a story is a great way to make simple stats engaging, and to show people "why" decisions were made.

    Good luck, can't wait to see more posts!

    You could go into the niche even further. This is what I wrote over a year ago ; https://discuss.flarum.org/d/6320-extension-developers-show-us-your-workflow/3

    Love the idea, make it happen!

      This is great, thanks for sharing!

      Would you be keen to update it a bit as a post for wemakewith?

    There's https://usesthis.com which is similar to what you're proposing, but in general the idea is quite nice.

      Yeah usesthis is definitely an inspiration; they've been around for ages and have some great content!

        Well, if you're still looking for the first five interviews, I'd love to be one. :)

        1. 1

          Definitely; let's make it happen!

          How about you start a gdoc and drop me a link on nic@weworkwith.com?

              Hey Siddhant! Following up here - you still keen to do a post on wemakewith? 🤞

              1. 1

                Hey, sure. Do you have a specific format you want the interviews to stick to or should I just use the "prompts" document you linked to in your post?

    There is one called deskhunt.com. It is interesting to know the tools/equipment fellow makers are using. :)

      Deskhunt is great; thanks!

      Yeah /r/battlestations did cross my mind. I think I'm initially going to try focusing on designers/programmers/indiehacker types!
