Searching for the next (profitable) project
The function to attend or remove your rsvp is not reactive, in comparison to almost everything else on the site.
Clicking the button does perform the action, however, only reloading shows the updated status. At first, I thought I had issues with my network connection :)
There are no comments on meetups.
Yes, messaging the host is a feature, which relies on the Telegram integration which not everyone might have set up.
Asking a question, trying to find other people attending or making a suggestion for a time or location, would be great.
Once created, they don't seem to be editable. So updated times, description or locations are not possible. Especially, since there are no comments, there is no other way to facilitate that.
It would be great to be able to edit the meetup and notify all attending users.
They can be edited by appending /edit to the URL or something (can’t remember exactly) but maybe @marc can add a button to the page somewhere only for the event owner
That's fair. Instead of proposing a hard date and time, as well as a location, I just wanted to gauge interest. Especially, since I am not native to Paris and don't know the good spots to meet.
Just proposing the meetup and leaving the exact location or time up for discussion, would be great.
Depending on the overlap of Nomadlist users, there could be and optional automatic update sync?
Or the wip.co site/PWA doesn't just propose changing timezones, but also location?
I agree, new features shouldn't discriminate against inactive users. However, there are different states of inactivity. A lot of the profiles I checked, had socials connected. Telegram and Twitter. Most of them were deleted by now.
So there was no way to get in touch with them and I would assume they don't follow anything on wip.co, if they profile is drastically out of date for multiple years.
The direct message feature request could be an interesting part of the solution.
I would make the title of the question relate more to the content, to help people know what you are asking before they click on it ;)
Jokes aside, I understand how you feel, and I have felt like that before. I'm actively working on changing my view on these things. In most situations, you don't have to explain yourself or owe somebody an explanation. Just do it.
Many businesses were not first, but took an idea and made it better. This is also what drives innovation.
And if the niche is validated with the existing project, it doesn't mean each customer of your own project with a different approach would switch over from the other project.
If you feel weird about it, you can always reach out to the maker in question, tell them about it, ask for feedback, maybe even collaborate or exchange ideas and motivate each other.
Take my opinion with a lot of salt, as I am pretty new to the indiehacker space myself.
Sounds like a fun, challenging and worth it. It's one of my favourite past times to tinker with configuration and DevOps. In the past I went more bare metal with LUKS encryption, ZFS pools to be able to take snapshots, backup everything to an off-site and do all the updates myself.
In some cases it can provide advantages given the requirement, running up hours spend on maintenance 😊
Managed VPS is a concept that can proved the sweet spot between cost and effort. It's why Laravel Vapor has been amazing in the past with it's amazing scaling.
Even when starting out with a staging environment, a lot of experience will only present it self with real usage and customers.
Good luck, have fun and don't hesitate to ask, you have a community full of people with knowledge and willing to help 😅
Nice! Are you with them?
Thanks for the tip @ben, that worked. If the view already exists, an edit button would be helpful.
Will add!
