Hi PH friends, I hope you are doing well. You won't believe, but I didn't know "indie hackers" word before. As far as I remember, I saw this word first time on Twitter. It was tweet by Arvid Kahl.(many people know Arvid.... because of build in public & supportive nature) So, I learned and read amazing things here on IH. Joining IH was really hard for me. Because, at that time IH was only invite-only platform. I approached lot of people to get code. But, only one people had invite code. His name is Fed (Founder of Gummy Search & Hive Index). He sent me code on Twitter. Thanks a lot, Fed. :) I mostly engage with content. Recently, I also started posting on IH. Great to see, my posts featured on Home page. Today, I knew that you don't need code for joining IH. I don't have any hard opinion on it. Hope so people don't spam. That's all from my side. Ps. I created Twitter List for indie hackers. This list have around >200 members. If you are into building(built) things in public, let me know. I will add you into List. :) Regards, Atul

@alessandro_pavan Hi Alessandro, it's my pleasure. IH changed rules for joining recently. They don't need invite code now. Hope so you will enjoy it!

Thank you Atul!! Why am I thanking you? Well, I just wrote this 5 minutes ago: "Hi Atul, great that you are progressing forward. Actually, I just learned about IH a few days ago here on PH and invites are still needed to join..." But then I thought why don't I try again on IH before finishing my reply to you... And now I could join!! šŸ˜Ž Don't worry, I do not want to waste my or anyone else's time spamming. Okay sorry, enough about me. šŸ™„ That's really cool that you've built this list. Funny enough, I don't know at what stage you consider someone building in public. I do have a site and it and my business are continuously evolving, so do I count? If anything I can help you with, let me know. Hope you have a super chill Sunday! Minal

@minal_at_openelevator Hi Minal, thanks a lot for this long message. I'm particularly adding those people who are building things in public. Or they something built recently. If you are building something in public, then let me know. I would like to add you in Twitter List. Please do share your Twitter profile here. Or DM me on Twitter. Here is the Twitter List of indie hackers - https://twitter.com/i/lists/1456...

@minal_at_openelevato Hi Minal, do you have personal account? Because, I don't add brand/company account in List. I am only adding only those - who are building in public - who are active on Twitter - who have personal account šŸ˜‡
