Hey everyone,

I have been doing Indie Hacking for almost 2 years. I was sick of following people on social media or DMing and calling it networking.

So, I built a network/platform where professionals meet with fellows via scheduled video calls. We as a community believe that this is a better way as an initial contact than follows and direct messages. Our platform is open for free, early access, currently.

Feel free to check us out at https://makermeet.me and if our mindsets match, you may join us at https://app.makermeet.me/

Whom is it best for?

It's perfect for entrepreneurs, indie hackers, developers, designers, social media marketers and more. Whether you're just starting out or looking to expand your network, you are welcome.

What would be the gain?

Strong network is our need as a member of the community. We need an audience for our products, clients for our services and professionals to hire them or make them hire us. First time meeting people in need would work much less than asking people already in our network that we build via more than just following each other or direct messages. And this is the network where you meet people face to face without immediate requests/needs.

I love the idea, but I feel the implementation could have been more streamlined!

Congrats on launching, but it'd be awesome to have an e-mail-only registration option.
