People do see your posts. There is no algorithm AFAIK.
I personally get motivation from posting. If people like or comment on my stuff great but not required.
But, if somehow people stopped posting then it would feel like I post stuff on the void so it wouldn't be motivating any more.
I don't use wip for discussions but rather to post my work and stay accountable. It works so well for my business that I ended up sharing what I eat to stay accountable to my diet.
For discussions I notice people are more active on telegram
Interesting! Do you get much engagement on your status updates?
I feel that, for now, it's my motivation that helps me keep on track and not accountability to the 🔥 emoji.
It's actually kind of nice not to worry about engagement. On X you want your post to do well to beat an algorithm. Here you just post whatever. It's mostly for you, but it's also interesting to see what people are doing.
Wouldn't you be more motivated if somebody left a comment on your update or just left a like?
I think the meaning of engagement is polluted with what people are trying to achieve on X or other platforms. What I mean by engagement on WIP is just that people see and acknowledge what you do, but also kind of push you to become better.

Isn't wip that?
There are already close to 4k people or more here.
The aim is to create groups of 5-6 people, with each group functioning something similar to a brainstorming session, group therapy, and accountability circle. Like a SEAL team of trusted people solve things together.
the good:
- great for setting up simple checkout pages
- great for selling digital products (courses, books, etc)
- great for apps that need licenses (u dont need backend)
- nice design w/o effort
the bad:
- api/docs is confusing
- creating discounts is too complex for some reason
- people do not see the final price when they land on the checkout; could be problematic depending on your strategy
That's good to know, Alex :) Are you still using LS these days? I heard some people had problems with their payouts, but not sure either.
afaik google doesn't like pages with too much similar content, which could be the case, as most of it seems to be shared.
I always add the canonical of every page to be the page itself. seemed to be working fine
Ok got it, thank you. I'll give that a shot and see if it helps
I don't know if that alone will do it, besides of content probably improving internal linking also will help (linking from different parts of your website with different anchors to each page).
Genuine question: Why did you decide to join if you didn't see the value on the first place?
I think one cannot say a priori that something will be valuable.
We try and see how things play out.
I will continue using the platform, reflecting on my experience and posting about it along the way.
It seems that people were interested in sharing their thoughts on this as well.
