Ask HN: Help me find an online hangout for freelancers and remote people?
I am working solo on my little projects at home.
Sometime back, I came across a site, styled like stackoverflow, where freelancers posted casual questions and chatted. It was more like an virtual water cooler.
If anyone knows a site like that, pl post it here. Thank you
- sharemywin 8y agowouldn't Reddit be a place for that? you could also checkout indiehackers.com Not sure if there are any slack channels.
- duxup 8y agoReddit's programming related subs are all pretty much overrun by n00bs (I readily admit that I am one of them) up voting every shitty tutorial they can find (i don't do that). I also suspect that the non n00bs are somewhat dominated by opinionated folks who have a sort of tunnel vision for their various careers / the tech world in general.
- loourr 8y agoCheck out https://digitalfreelancer.io/ https://digitalfreelancer.io/ They have a slack group for developers that's really good
- ioddly 8y agohttps://www.reactiflux.com https://www.reactiflux.com serves that purpose for me. It's React-focused, but lots of knowledgeable, helpful people in there including the great #jobs-advice channel.
- SyneRyder 8y agoPossibly Nomad List? It's for digital nomads, so there's lots of freelancers & remote workers on there, but also mixed in with travel discussion. They have Slack channels too. I think it might be a paid membership now: https://nomadlist.com/forum https://nomadlist.com/forum If you're looking for solo developers, there's the Bootstrapped forums, which is like a modern version of the Joel On Software forums. It's starting to attract some of the growth-hacker / info-product types lately though. http://discuss.bootstrapped.fm/ http://discuss.bootstrapped.fm/

- finaliteration 8y agoThe guys from the Coding Blocks podcast have a Slack channel where quite a few people interact, though it’s not totally limited to freelancers. I’ve gotten some good feedback and input when I’ve asked questions there, however. And most of the conversation is good.
- akulbe 8y agoThe #freelance on Slack, but it's not free. I'm a member there, and it's been valuable. I've gotten gigs that have paid for the membership price many times over. hashtagfreelance.slack.com
