Hey yes I love this idea. We've talked about a "buddy system" before where new members can team up with existing members somehow. But I haven't yet built anything for it, because I'm not sure yet what it would look like.
I think it would be cool to start this informally. Then when we learn what works and doesn't work we can start to formalize this and add the necessary website functionality etc.
The new WIP intros ( wip.co/intros ) might help a bit. It's a place for new members to introduce themselves. If you think you can help someone in particular, feel free to leave a comment on their intro with your offer to help them get set up, etc. You can also link to this post right here to give them some context.
What I would really like to see, is a daily micro zoom session/standup. Happy to help with this! I am trying to setup something like this, but I care more about a collective effort than my own. www.meetup.com/daily-standup/…
I've tried something like this, and it turned out that zoom sessions don't work quite well because they are synchronous – calls are hard to schedule, meetings take a lot of time, members start missing group sessions which increases the chance for the group to fall apart very quickly. What was your experience so far?
I haven't organized one yet, so not sure if it works. But I can understand it becomes hard to manage. I will try some, purely for motivational purposes and have some social interaction :)
If you know any other members who might be interested feel free to start using it and let me now how it goes. I'll probably jump in myself this coming week and share it in the Telegram group. If people find it valuable I'll also start promoting it on the website.
How about async video threads? Record stand-ups, weekly goals, reply to other members when you have a minute. We all are busy people living in different time zones.
Awesome! I will have a look at the channel tomorrow. Would be nice to do an open room a certain time a day (09:00-10:00). Could become a feature, as in part of the streak and maybe motivates people to keep each other accountable.

Personally I'm really bad at scheduling. I like to keep my calendar as empty as possible.
But I do like the idea of video calls. Whether scheduled or ad-hoc. I've created a Whereby channel I want to experiment a bit with in the future.
