Hive Index is now home to over 800 communities!

My directory of online communities Hive Index is now at 867 communities across 73 topics! 🤯

It started out as a small weekend project because I noticed there wasn't a good resource like it, and I just wanted to stop thinking and ship something. Now it has grown into a resource that helps 4000 people find communities for their interests every single month.

Yeah, it's a tiny non-revenue-generating website that's really just a glorified spreadsheet, but I'm proud of it!

I told myself that when it reaches 1000 I'll touch up the design and launch it on Product Hunt (would be my first PH launch)

Keep me accountable on this one folks!

    Very cool! Thank you for sharing. Digging around now and seeing a lot of communities that appeal to me.

    Congrats Fed! Are you now working more on Hive or Gummy Search?

      Thanks Welly! I'm working more on GummySearch as the product is still in development & I'm actively working on my marketing channels.

      Hive Index has kind of been on autopilot for the past couple of months, growing via SEO & word of mouth. People write in to submit their communities and every once in a while I'll go curate a new topic, so I keep it growing with minimal effort.

      Right now though as I'm getting up to this milestone I set for myself, I'm planning to take a couple weeks to prep it for a PH launch. It'll be nice to give it some design love and implement a few of the features that have been on my backlog for a while.

    Thank you for this! I've been having trouble finding Communities for Architects(Buildings, not software) And this made it a bit easier for me.

      Glad it helped! I had an architect friend help me get the list together. Let me know if you find any other ones that I should add!
