from Hacker News

Hey there, my name is Alin and today I wanted to share with you a new project that I'm working on. It's called BuildersOf - and it's a weekly newsletter with a dose of inspiration from people who are actually building stuff.

For a few months now I keep on having this idea to build something... where developers & builders of any kind can share their everyday experiences (like status update, lessons learned, problems they may have, etc) while building their project.

The initial idea was to build an app (web + mobile) but I wanted to take a step back and try and validate the idea first. In that same period I've rediscovered this post (http://ryanhoover.me/post/43986871442/email-first-startups) from Ryan Hoover about email-first startups and how PH first started (an email based community) and chose to follow the same path with the MVP for BuildersOf.

How this works? Every week I'll send you an email reminder to all of the awesome builders and they can reply with a quick status report - what are they working on, if they struggled with something that week or anything in particular they feel like sharing when it comes to working on their projects.

That's why I wanted to reach out to this awesome community of hackers and ask if you would be interested in being on of the Builders on this weekly newsletter.

Here's the Typeform link to register as a builder - https://alin16.typeform.com/to/ETWEQT
