@darekgusto @EmailCopyJames @nikitabier Strategic friction before entry, clear standards inside.

I wrote about it here

[Simon @socodemaker]

@darekgusto @EmailCopyJames @nikitabier I'm biased, but i believe smaller, well curated communities away from X are the way forward.

X became echo chamber.

But I guess it depend what each person wants.

[Simon @socodemaker]

@datacubecom its an interesting idea made by someone who is known in the industry so it passes the trust vibe.

My only neg is the 99 limit. It means 99.9% will be junk

[Simon @socodemaker]

@screenfluent To be honest, from my few years of building community - platform is irrelevant.

And also, some people will never be happy. They will have you zigging and zagging all over the place and a busy fool.

It will resonate with who it resonates with, and the rest I wish them success.

[Simon @socodemaker]

We're looking for 50 people to join us at Hacker Cabin.

50 people who want to change their lives for the better from 1st June.

Own your calendar.

Work on projects you love.

Share your progress.

Are you in?

Here's to building cool things in 2026 and beyond 🥳

[Simon @socodemaker]

@screenfluent I think the homepage is very clear

[Simon @socodemaker]

@screenfluent Discord atm since the current members are cool with that.

Help me get 50+ on this waitlist (people who align with Hacker Cabin) and I will build something completely custom (and you get free entry)

X Communities close May 30.

Meanwhile, new builder communities are exploding around shipping fast.

I wrote about one approach that feels different:

@foliofed I'm seeing a lot of similar sites for sale on TrustMRR, but none are as good as this.

The OG 😄

“I’d totally pay for this.”

Dangerous sentence for solo makers.

People say they’d pay because they like the idea of the problem being solved.

That does not mean they’ll:

switch tools
change habits
onboard
or enter a credit card

Interest is not demand.

Payment is.

[Hieu 🚀 @hieuSSR]

This kept me busy for the past 12 months.

After the SuperX transition, I built a study/work cafe.

revenue → meh
positive impact → ✅

and I built it the indie way:
create something I personally wanted → improve it along the way

[Simon @socodemaker]

It was mid - at best

[Cade Onder @Cade_Onder]

why are a bunch of people on Instagram posting extremely similar walls of text about Mandalorian and Grogu as if it’s the greatest movie of all time lmao

[Ali Abdaal @AliAbdaal]

Hey gang - would love your help with something:

We’re on the hunt for a growth co-founder for our software studio - and I’d love your help in finding the right person 😊

Basically: We’re building a suite of software products across productivity, personal development and the creator economy. The mission is to help 100 million people take back control of their time, energy and focus, and make progress on the goals that actually matter to them.

We’re 18 months in, bootstrapped, profitable, doing $1m+ ARR, with a large aligned audience of 10M+ across socials, 100,000+ users on one consumer product, and a B2B product already used by teams at Notion, Superhuman, Wispr Flow, Morning Brew and others. Our small team already has very strong product, engineering and design.

Our missing piece is a proper growth co-founder: double-digit equity, double-digit profit share from day one, high autonomy, fully remote, and a lot of distribution already in place.

The person we’re looking for probably isn’t a traditional VP of Growth. They’re more likely to be a hands-on, internet-native operator who’s personally made something grow recently - through content, creator partnerships, UGC, viral ads, weird internet experiments, or anything else that actually moves the needle.

If someone came to mind while reading this, please could you send them this link? https://t.co/cFSqTN3Wqf

Thank you 🙏
