[Ask IH] Where else do you hang out?
Hey IH,
I love this community and it's personally the best I have tried but I was wondering...
What other websites do you guys check or visit frequently?
If so, what do you find useful there?
Looking forward to your answers :)
I've visited Hacker News at least once a day for as far back as my browser history goes, probably years at this point.
Ditto. First reference to Hacker News I could find in my e-mail is from 2007!
Wow, that's a daily habit ;)
I'll should try it out a bit more then, thanks for the comment Courtland!
Interestingly right now there is a thread there called Ask HN: As a founder/entrepreneur, is Indie Hackers still valuable to you?
I'm a long time HN lurker and am new to IH. IMO, depending on your interests, you may find many news items of interest. But don't take the comments there too seriously - think of it as water cooler chit chat, remember Dunning-Kruger and visit the parody site now and then. :-)
Hey Pierce, thanks for letting me know from an experienced reader on HN ;)
Just browse around a bit longer on IH and I am sure you will get as much value if not more! :)
Same here. I will hang around Product Hunt, some private chats, groups, forums, but only IH and HN daily.
Awesome Bart!
What value do you get from those websites and forums?
Some of them are private invitation-only think tank groups, where you can talk to people with vast experience in different areas. Other groups are just for socializing.
Thanks for clarifying :)
I also visit /r/entrepreneur on reddit but I find it's a wider range of conversation topics compared to Indie Hackers (aka I like Indie Hackers more).
Hey Jonathan!!
Thanks for sharing ;)

I like to check IH and dev.to in a daily basis. IH about entrepreneurship and dev.to about programming.
ProductHunt and /r/alphaandbetausers

I visit other sites but nothing is as personal and quality as indiehackers.
It’s mostly HN, really. It’s been a decade almost, I think, that I’ve been visiting mostly daily. Improved me so much as a designer, engineer and all around human being.
Awesome man, anything in particular that helped you achieve most of that? The best content you saw there?
Product Hunt for me. I've discovered a lot of awesome new things there :)
And you have got some awesome t-shirts from there as well ;)
Hahaha yes, Product Hunt has treated me well :) Still waiting for the PH team to send me a PH shirt though.
Or...or...just use the Ryan Hoover one I guess it also has a cat on it 😂
