Hey guys, what kind of product can I bring to the platform? Any limitations?
- lowglow 11y ago
  We're welcoming anything that wants to share, grow, and collaborate with the rest of the community. But always products you're making yourself.
- nathantross 11y ago
  Besides crowd-funding your projects, it is also a tool for you to show off your process and the steps involved. That way you can also grow users while you raise funds. So if your project/product fits into that space, we'd love to see it :)

The site is well thought out and combines the best attributes of competitors with its own unique twist. In my experience so far it's been a great way to both network with other makers as well as get the word around about what I'm working on, which helps me get more support, both financial and fellow makers who want to build with me.

  > which helps me get more support, both financial and fellow makers who want to build with me I noticed your project [0] on the site, and it looks as though there are zero backers and $0 financial support so far. Is this a genuine review? If so, the financial support you have mention receiving is not visible on Baqqer. 0: https://baqqer.com/projects/raasta https://baqqer.com/projects/raasta

    He's actually a volunteer moderator/admin. Users can be moderators as well. If you're interested in helping moderate let me know. The job duties are flagging spam, helping community members, and generally being an ambassador if they like the product enough. :)
