Work in Progress - A community of makers shipping together 🚧

Work in Progress is a community of makers. We help each other stay accountable and focussed on building, shipping, and growing our products.

We publicly share our todos, celebrate our successes, discuss our failures, track our goals, and provide each other with actionable feedback.

Don't ship by yourself, ship together!

WIP clicked for me on day one. I was suddenly in the middle of a community of makers just like me. Working towards their first sale, $100 MRR, $1000 MRR and here we all were sharing and keeping each other accountable. There's the social pressure to ship everyday, to make progress and move forward, and that has taken me further in the past week than I'd have gone by myself in a month.

Great idea, but should tell people it's $20 per month/$150 per year.

@delwilliams Hi Del. The pricing is shown before you join. I also mentioned it's a paid membership in my opening comment. The reason I don't specifically mention the prices is because they might increase if there's too much demand. At the same time I didn't want too much time pressure on people ("sign up now before the price increases!") as it would give people the wrong incentive to join.

Congrats on the launch, @marckohlbrugge! :) Awesome to finally see WIP on PH! I've joined WIP a few months ago and can only recommend it to other makers! Here's why you should join too: 💪🏻 Motivation Streaks are a very powerful technique to build habits and get things done. I've definitely been more productive since I joined WIP (280 to-dos completed so far!) 🆘 Help from others If you're a solo-maker, you're probably not an expert in everything. WIPs community is pretty diverse ranging from writers and designers to coders and marketers. So getting feedback and help from others is really easy. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Community I used to work at a large corporation before becoming a solo-founder and the thing I missed most was being surrounded by other people. While being in a Telegram group isn't exactly the same, it does help to have a group of people to chat and drink a virtual coffee with! Hope to see some familiar PH faces on WIP soon :)

WIP has been an amazing community over the last few months. Very nice way to keep yourself accountable on your daily todos. Besides that very actionable discussions among, mostly, self-funded entrepreneurs and makers. Very valuable addition to my daily "tools". Congrats @marckohlbrugge on the launch!

🚧 WIP is great. I had questions about Webpack & I posted all over the internet & I got my answers only in WIP You want designers. WIP has it. Developers. WIP has it. Marketers. WIP has it. It is diverse community of makers from all over the world 🌐 It is the only community with full of positivity. No bullshit. Although it is a community of shippers, there is a lot of help from the community if anyone ever gets stuck. Mostly all questions are answered. I've joined WIP 5 months ago & its only been a fun ride. #wip4life ❤️

YOOOOO! I'm in the thumbnail! WIP chat is the best thing since sliced bread. I love the community and being accountable for shipping. (I also need to commit more to being accountable)...

Been part of the WIP for a while now, and even if there is not much time to chat its great to be part of community that makes you feel part of a crew that ships together. Few places has this pool of knowledge that is eager to share from experience and not from opinion. Keep up the good work @marckohlbrugge + the offspring wipmusic has been a great for finding new tunes to work to.

Great way to publicly show what you do. A great motivation to keep pushing it forward.

Awesome product that helps me to build my apps publicly! It has a great community which motivates you and helps you when you're stuck, worth checking out. It's like using IRC again. Last time when I launched one of my apps on Producthunt some WIP members gave me advice how to do it better and helped me to reach the front page so congrats on the launch @marckohlbrugge!

I've joined WIP a bit more than a month ago and it's been quite a wild ride, from pet impersonations to your own sticker pack to discussing the art of shipping. I've thought that my life had revolved around Telegram before, but that has become even more the case now.

WIP is incredible in helping you get things done and gauging how much you are actually doing. The community is one of the most enjoyable and fun ones I've seen and everybody is immediately welcomed with open arms.

I'd highly recommend anyone to join. It's definitely worth the money!

Pros:

A community that is super helpful, public accountability to make you ship and all around lots of fun to be had! Also spicy memes 🌶️

Cons:

If you're not careful, you can get sucked into just chatting and not shipping.
