A lively community. There's nothing worse than trying to interact with a dead/dying community

Couple of ways to do this. 1. Make members feel that the community is so personalized to their own needs that they can't imagine using another one 2. Let members give feedback and build the community WITH you instead if you building it for them. 3. Points or some way to see progress. You could also have users exchange points for valuables like lead magnets, discounts, etc Hope this helps...

A little late but Hacker huddle is being built for solo founders and indie hackers to launch and manage their communities in a gamified fashion

Happy to support! I'm building hackerhuddle.com - a community building platform indie hackers and solo founders. Simply collecting feedback and a waitlist before launching on PH in a couple months!

Gamification is a whole process so it shouldn't just be thrown into your community. I'm adding gamification elements to my platform hacker huddle and it requires deeply knowing your users

A little late to the party but I'm building hackerhuddle.com to help with this. When do you plan to launch?

Many people have problems with Discord, Slackc etc. I'm building hackerhuddle.com to give indie hackers a better solution

P.S. I'm building a gamified community building platform for indiehackers and solo founders that aren't marketing experts. Check it out here: https://hackerhuddle.com

I read in the book "problem prospecting" that it might make sense to ditch your UVP. it's better to say something like this: "if your tired/frustrated/etc with X problem or feeling then we can BENEFIT with PRODUCT" for example "If you're tired of spending hours writing upwork cover letters without landing a job, CoverWriter can help you land a contract in the next 24 hours"

easier said than done. I find taking breaks and setting a hard 'clock out ' time each day. also no working on weekends

built a custom crm with airtable

whimsical, Divhunt

clickup for project management and airtable for sales, advertising activities, make for automations

just tested this out and I'm pleasantly surprised by how well it works. will definitely be adding this to my tool stack

I'd create a public view for my users and allow them to vote on what they want most

This seems like the perfect tool that I didn't know I needed. everything you described from the clunky interfaces and hefty prices from other companies is exactly how I feel. I'll be testing out your product for my projects soon! I wish you both the best ✊🏾

This seems like a fun tool. I'm going to test it with the boys tonight

I have an airtable database of ideas

Build a simple app or site over the weekend and use it as a traffic driver. For example I've recently launched a site that is a database of app ideas and I advertise my other services on it

I like to use ClickUp. You can make everything private so no one else can see your stuff
