Hey all It's time for our annual(ish) Makers Festival and this year we are partnering with TechCrunch, The Hustle and Webflow to encourage makers from all walks of life to come together to build a more eco-friendly world and compete for a grand prize worth over $1,100. You can register here until June 4th and submissions will open on June 7th. Let's use this space to introduce ourselves, get to know each other and ask for support

I've had a wild ride of a career as an exec in large corporations and as a startup founder. I worked with celebrities in the alcohol industry and on $26 billion worth of M&A deals. Then I built multiple products (some of which are ) as part of my own startup journey. I ve won awards for my comedy writing and was named Product Hunt Maker of the Year in 2019 . Recently I pivoted my business from a document search tool to a product for IT teams to protect company documents from unauthorized access. Also, I like to meditate, burn sage, commune with nature, and collect crystals. I'll be here on 06/10 at 11 am pt to answer any and all questions about startups, pivots, product development, remote work, personal development, transitioning from corporate to startups, writing, the future, and me . Drop your questions below

Hey everyone! I'm Rosie Sherry and I love building communities. I started about 15 years ago with meetups, I then started Ministry of Testing and boostrapped that to $1.5M annual revenue over 10 years. I still (co)own, but don't run the business day to day. I led the community over at Indie Hackers for a couple of years. More recently I started Rosieland, a community for community builders. This has evolved over the past couple of years, from a newsletter, to a paid newsletter and now to a community with a 'community garden' approach. Rosieland is still my side-gig as I recently joined Orbit

Hi Makers & Hunters, How did you meet your challenges, and achieve your goals this week? share your stories

Being a founder/builder is a lot of work and can take its toll on your health. What's your strategy for staying healthy? I'm a walker and can easily crank out 15+ miles a week, eat only plants and hit the gym 3-5x a week. What's yours?

It's FRIDAY Time to think about what we want to do on weekends

Our next milestone is hopefully in the next few weeks as we complete our user dashboard and workspaces. What's next on the roadmap for you/y'all?

I've built Ship 30 for 30 - a cohort-based writing course - from idea to over 1,400 students in six months. I've learned a ton along the way about marketing, scaling, building community, iterating and improving a course, and made just about every mistake there is to make. I did all this while having a full-time job! I'd love to answer any questions you have on bootstrapping demand for your course, marketing, building, scaling, and everything in-between as well as how to manage side projects. AMA

1-100, 100- 500, 500-1000 How did you get them?

Hey PH! We're offering a freemium service in B2B (https://axolo.co, we help tech teams working on Github and Slack reduce code review time). Most of our features are included in our free plan and we started last week our premium plan for companies looking for more customization. Right now, my main question for our upcoming features is to decide whether each feature should be in the free or the premium plan. Do you have any advice?

Hey, Thanks for checking in I prefer reading a newsletter instead of a blog sometimes due to that I update my collection list of daily newsletters every few weeks I thought to share the list with you all and get your recommendations too My current newsletter lists: First 1000 by @ali_abou_el_atta : Here is the Link

I'm doing some research about what you like the most about whatever note-taking/productivity tool that you can't live without. For my side, I love the simplicity and easy-setup about the tables that Notion offers, to quickly organize my finances, I definitely can't live without it. What about you? Also, is there any improvement that you would like to see regarding your picking?
