Well HN is just that, hacker news. The focus isn't on DIY and bootstrapping yourself. This is more a niche that IndieHackers and the like fill in.

- k__ 8y agoTrue. But the bootstrapping community is filles with its own kind of people. Not much overlap.
- SmellyGeekBoy 8y agoThere are plenty of successful bootstrappers on HN, myself included. Dozens of us!
- k__ 8y agoCool! Where do you talk? I only tried IndieHackers and there were too much "hustlers" for my taste.
- roel_v 8y agoEver since Business of Software forums died off, I've been looking for a replacement. As you say, when you go looking for them, all you will find are these 'hustler' filled places. In the early days, HN had a fair share of BoS refugees, but those have been overtaken by other crowds. Of course these are different times compared to 15 years ago, but I would think there would still be bootstrappers around?
- k__ 8y agoSad. What would it take to create a bootstrapper community that doesn't attract hustlers.
