My software business co-founder is doing an AMA on /r/entreprenuer, we're a YC company and have 6000+ stars on github

    Your co-founder is doing a fantastic job staying on top of & replying to comments. I hope to emulate his generosity someday!

    IndieHackers forum is only for bootstrap companies not YC companies.

      Interesting, I'm not sure where your you have heard that. I'm reading the about page "Indie hackers are often solo founders, software engineers, and bootstrapped, but it's totally okay if you have cofounders, can't code, and have raised money."

      FWIW we bootstrapped for 4 years, starting in 2018 and just got into YC this summer. Also Courtland Allen went through YC when starting indiehackers and this site is now owned by Stripe, also a YC company. Not sure why any of this matters, we're just writing code and talking to customers like the rest of the people here.

      I think anyone with value to add belongs here and I hope others would agree. :)

    interesting decision to make it open source. How would you make money?

      We have enterprises that need extra support or that pay for feature development. We are also building a cloud hosting option that will drive revenue soon.
