Ask IH: Is there a website where I can just live-chat with other solo founders?
I ran into one before but forgot what it was called. Basically, when I'm working alone, it would be cool to just have a tab open where I can chat with other people who are working alone. There was a site I think it sounded kind of like hamburger or something like that but I forgot it.
This message board is good, but there's just something about real-time live that's inherently human
Something close to this idea but maybe not exactly what you are looking for. Matches you with someone else looking to focus and hold one another accountable. Made by a fellow IndieHacker

👉 WIP.chat 👈
wip.chat was good but now it's a paid service and I find it a bit more expensive. If you find it adds value for you it's a good community.
I can recommend

best to start a Telegram or Slack channel

A couple people in there, I think it'll work okay while it's small. But I'm not sure if Slack is the best long-term. Once you get to a critical mass of concurrent people live, it's just too crowded to converse.
How did you make that shared invite link? Been trying to work it out...
go to "invite people" under the workspace menu and then click "share invite link" -> should give you a URL you can copy paste, and you can set how many days it will be active for
