Communities
Slack groups, Discords and forums where founders actually reply.
Slower than Reddit and far more forgiving. These are places to be a regular, not places to drop a link — but a launch posted by someone the room recognises outperforms almost anything else on this site.
Indie Worldwide
indieworldwide.comslackfoundersSlack community of indie founders with regional channels and regular calls. Paid, which keeps the signal high and the plugs rare.
WIP
wip.cobuild-in-publicaccountabilityPublic todo lists and a maker chat. The streak mechanic is the actual product — it is an accountability tool that happens to have a community attached.
Hacker News Who Is Hiring / Who Wants To Be Hired
news.ycombinator.commonthlyreachNot a launch venue, but the monthly threads are read closely by exactly the audience most dev tools want. Relevant if you hire or sell to engineers.
Reddit r/EntrepreneurRideAlong
www.reddit.com/r/EntrepreneurRideAlongredditprogressFor ongoing progress threads rather than one-off launches. Posting weekly updates here builds an audience that follows the build.
