I love Indieworldwide remote meetups! Looking forward to the next one

Hello,

Launching the Quiin soon as a bootstrapped project would love as much feedback as I can get.

The first event will probably be in a month as the back-end etc is all finished just doing some testing now.

Cheers,

Thanks!

I dislike social profiles like the next person and would like a better way of verifying...

I just had an idea whilst thinking about how I was going to respond to this -- perhaps I could do e-mail signup but instead verify the user through the clearbit/fullcontact api. Need to look into that

Possibly unjustified fear, that is why the current website has it at the moment...

Currently, * unless someone has a better idea * it would be through manually checking any social profiles including git profiles. The aim is not to turn it into a 'club' but just be selective enough that there are alot of like-minded individuals.

I agree, but I doubt they would pay a fee just to laugh at others looking for a date...

Much appreciated, thanks alot

just fixed it, thanks for that!

just fixed it, thanks for that!

Really? I'll have a deeper look online for some (unless you know any off the top of your head).

Definitely an interesting sidenote indeed, I'm off to the waybackmachine!

I've got some ideas which (hopefully) could make it work more profitably. Lots more people are paying for subscriptions newsletters nowadays perhaps timing can play a role.

I don't think Steemit will become mainstream enough to be considered for that, there are too many issues with their ingenious yet majorly flawed hierarchical structure and payment model

I highly recommend Udemy courses like this one https://www.udemy.com/the-web-developer-bootcamp/

It's by far the best in terms of price compared to other websites it explains enough for you to go out and build stuff on your own. If you need to go more advanced he has an advanced course, it's how I learned how to code

Launch growing pains, trying to figure out a way to weed out the content marketers as they have been flocking since we launched early access. I've been tweaking with the trending score along with considering adding invite-only at some point. For now I'm just testing but I wanted to know how I would dash out social media.

Thanks! Let me know if you have any ideas for feedback. Trying to figure out if quality content on front-page will increase as user size picks up or if I need to add some invite tree/deeper moderation

An invite system would make sense. Perhaps going through a selective invite tree until a quality community is built then dropping it later could work
