Welcome to Indie Hackers! (Week of Dec 5th)

Channing here from Indie Hackers. Welcome! 👋

Here's how to get the most out your time here.

Make the community a better place

Indie Hackers is for connecting with like-minded people who want to build profitable online businesses.

To get the most out of the community, try helping to make it a better place. You can do that by starting and participating in interesting discussions.

If you start by giving, the community is designed to reward you in return.

How to start discussions

Head over to the home page and click the "New Post" button.

If there's something on your mind that you think will get people talking, simply type it out. The shorter the better. It helps if you ask a clear question in the title, or if you express your opinion.

Alternatively, if you read something elsewhere on the internet, you can start a discussion around that, too. Try submitting it as a link post. Indie hackers love discovering interesting new articles.

Good luck!

This is just the tip of the iceberg. If you need help submitting your first link post or starting your first discussion, let me know in the comments below.

Otherwise, I'm excited to see you the forum! Feel free to introduce yourself to everyone below. 🤗

    Hello World!

    It's nice to be here. I don't know where this journey will take me, but I hope to learn something :)

    I am a Software Engineer in Poland. However, some of my free time is still coding. Maybe My homemade Apps will be inspiring to some of you.

    Heya @channingallen! Thanks for welcoming me here, excited to finally join this community that I've heard of so much before from other indiehackers and various founders of bootstrapped businesses. I'm building a product which is meant to support indiehackers and bootstrappers looking at alternative sources of funding.
