Ask IH: What is an Indie Hacker meetup? Why go?

TLDR:

1. Discussion of relevant topics
2. Help and Support
3. Make Friends with like-minded people

Best testimonial I have seen so far from our Denmark IH meetup:

"If you are an Indie Hacker or a freelancer, then you should most definitely attend these.

First, you will meet like-minded people and actually discuss topics that you want (or even should) discuss. In our group it's usually all about marketing, tools that people use, technology that people build their products on and pretty much anything else that's relevant to building an online business.

Second, you will get support and help. Maybe you are not good at coding yet (or you don't code at all), or you don't know much about growth hacking, or you just want to get feedback on the product you are building. People in the IH community are extremely helpful and literally try to come up with a solution right away, not by only discussing it but also by working on that solution (yes, they actually do that).

Third, you'll make friends. Being an IH is often a lonely journey but it shouldn't be. We started our journey as a group not long ago but I wouldn't doubt that many new friendships are going to be build along the way.

There's so much more to add, but I think it gives a short overview of what is actually happening during these meet ups and I hope it will inspire more people around the world to build groups of Indie Hackers, just like ours. You'll be amazed by how many like-minded people are actually within your reach.

A big thanks goes to Jeppe @jepras who took the initiative and managed to gather all of us together and, of course, thanks to Courtland @csallen for creating this community!" @stasreyda
