THE SIGNAL INSIDE THE NOISE.
A closed, high-friction Discord community for founders currently operating in "Founder Mode."
No gurus, no lurkers, no performance art. Just builders shipping product.
Current acceptance rate: ~12%. We keep the bar high so the signal stays strong.
PUBLIC FEEDS ARE BROKEN
Noisy indie communities are difficult to filter. Public feeds are broken. The problem: we're drowning in noise. The latest indie community platforms are chaotic social mainstreams and noisy unique environments.
WHAT HAPPENS INSIDE
TACTICAL UNBLOCKING
Anyone dealt with Apple's new App Store rejection regarding Guideline 4.2?
Yeah, hit that last week. Gate the core feature behind a "demo" login for reviewers.
BRUTAL FEEDBACK LOOPS
Roasting channel is open. Here's my new pricing page. Be mean.
Your H1 is weak. It talks about features, not outcomes. Drop the middle tier.
THE "TRENCHES" COMRADERY
Just had a 5-figure enterprise deal churn after 3 months. Feel sick. ๐
Oof. Been there. Get a stiff drink and let's do a post-mortem tomorrow.
