Work in Progress - A community of makers shipping together 🚧

I've been a paying member for 3 months now and I have no doubt I'll be a lifetime member. Seeing makers ship just about everyday, combined with the social task list and streak counter were critical to me finishing my first ARKit app, Word Vomit 3D, in a short two months.

I will also never forget my first interaction with the community: I was instantly greeted by a crowd of friendly people including Marc, who all seemed genuinely curious to know what I was working on. I shared a few screens, got great feedback, and even got a full tutorial on how to get set up my project on wip.chat. Then we all talked about chocolate milk

My only critique as of now is that the community feels much more geared towards software-for-startups, nomad, web, and subscription type companies, and could benefit from some product diversity.

If you're an XR startup, sign up for wip.chat and join me at @wipreality

Pros:

Great community of makers, makes me more productive, gives me a real sense of progress

Cons:

Lack of industry/product diversity

Joining WIP has been a turning point to me. I before spent a whole year working on side projects and had no one to share my progress, to ask technical questions, talk about pricing and even strategy. I was going to the wrong direction. Since then, I've been shipping every single day for the last 3 months: https://wip.chat/@lbckr alongside with a 9-5 job, which led me to launch my project and reach $100+ MRR within a month. All credit goes to WIP and its people 🙌

Finally congrats on the launch! WIP is one of most viral product that seen that was building in my eyes. I'm using it to building my products on regular basis: https://wip.chat/@AndreyAzimov Can you please share plans for near future? P.S. Thanks for adding me on GIF :)

I've been a paying member for about a month so far and my work and side project productivity has increased significantly. Being encouraged to ship something, no matter how big, every day keeps you moving forward and keeps motivation up 📈

Pros:

Huge community of people who can help/advise/support you with just about anything.

Cons:

Can some times feel intimidating to post something whilst there's a conversation going - but that's just a big community issue 🤷‍♂️

WIP is hands down the best thing that's happened to me in terms of being a maker. I've completed 219 todos in the last 2 months. I'm constantly inspired by all the people in there, and have met some friends in there too!

I have been a WIP member for ~35 days now. Before that, I was struggling with making stuff and had almost stopped doing development. But after joining WIP, I got inspired to build again and everything has been great since then. The community inspires you to do stuff, and everybody is super helpful. It's a fun group to be a part of. Well worth the admission fees.

Pros:

Excellent group that keeps you willing to ship/do stuff, Helpful people

Cons:

Shipping can get too addictive 😆

Great community! Thanks Marc, I also just launched my product I've been building public on wip.chat what a coincidence! https://www.producthunt.com/post...

The WIP community has given me a huuuuuge boost in productivity. It's a diverse, humble set of humans who are all willing to help out and share their opinions to push each other on and launch products. 10/10 would WIP again

Congrats on the launch Marc! 👏 I've been hanging out on wip.chat every-single-day, for the past 5 months and I'm still excited to jump in the conversation every morning ☕️ Being around makers, each at different stages and working on different type of products helped me learn A LOT. Needless to say, creating and completing tasks in public helped focus of getting stuff done and stop obsessing over details. Weather you're still looking for ideas or cruising at $50K /month (s/o @levelsio), wip.chat has something to offer. Join us!

I'm now a member for three months and it has been a great platform to meet other indie product developers and receive feedback on my products. WIP.chat automatically creates a history of tasks completed which is an excellent method to get a feeling for how much you've accomplished over a certain amount of time ( as an indie dev sometimes it just feels like you're stuck in the mud ). ⚡️ Indie product developing from home can get a bit lonely sometimes, so having a community to be part of makes it a bit easier. 🌍 Congrats on the launch @marckohlbrugge! 🚀
