Agree, this is why I simply offer a refund option, but not directly opening for everyone. Maybe, I can create a video to show what you will get inside the community, so it will allow people to get a sneak preview.

The first book that we are going to read is "A Philosophy of Software Design", it's a book by John Ousterhout.

I think that the problem here is that you do not understand that organising a community takes time and effort. Creating a slack instance is not building a community. The "fee" is just a simple way to get commitment from the other

I believe that the desire for human connection is more important than simply having access to information. In this conversation, we are engaging with each other as humans, rather than relying on a virtual assistant to listen and offer a dif

Building communities is not easy. I have already experience organising local meetups and it takes time until people understand the value of being part of it. I do not have rush of growing the number of members, the idea is to start it simpl

Thank you for your valuable feedback. Our community is just starting, and we welcome any suggestions for new ideas or preferred time slots. We are currently exploring the possibility of scheduling events in the morning or afternoon, as well

Yes, we are using Circle as a platform and we are paying 99$ each month. We have only 30 spots available, so it will basically cover the cost of the platform itself (if we get all the spots filled). If you have organised a community, you kn

Just curious, what are the problems or work when running your book club that this website is not solving?

Agree, I have been organising local Meetups in the past and I know how much time it takes.

Thanks for your feedback, really appreciated. Definitely, the texts in the website have been the hardest part of the launch.

We want to initially limit only to 30 spots to see how we could manage the community and the online events. We will evaluate if it makes sense to open more spots in the future. The idea is to create "online coffee chats" where eve

The concept of paying to be part of a community is not new, you can find many communities that charge more than 5€/month. You can find some examples here: https://community.circle.so/c/showcase/ We are using

I am surprised to don't see so much difference between the 13" and 16" prices. Other than that, good movement from Apple, listening to what the people wanted.

It would be interesting to consider 15, 16 as the evolution, the same with 11, 12 and Air 13.
