Ask HN: Side project / startup focused slack group?

Anyone interested in joining a small startup/ side project focused Slack group?

I recently finished the new Spielberg[0] documentary and he mentioned the importance of being surrounded by great folks—in his case, Lucas, Scorsese, et al.

The positive effects of a peer network is a commonly observed pattern. It might neat to try something similar over the internet.

I’ve been a part of larger communities that try to do something similar but it doesn’t seem to scale well. Hence starting and keeping it small.

The focus will likely be on building, growing and scaling a project and having like minded folks to share the ups and downs with.

If you’re interested feel free to email me and I’ll send you an invite.

https://gitconnected.com is a community for developers and software engineers and features a Slack group. The users are very active and incredibly supportive.

I'd be interested. But your email isn't in your profile. Can you add it, or post it here?
