Because they say that complaining about the same things connects people.
This is the headline of a new concept that I'm currently experimenting with for Frenl. Could you have a look and tell me what you think?

Thank you! :)
Looks interesting. So you'll match two people on a regular basis based on interest?
I would love to try but two things that stop me signing up:
I can definitely relate to the "Actively looking for business partners doesn't work" statement. Once the community gets built, I can see it being very valuable in developing connections.
Few thoughts / questions:
Like the concept and can definitely see where it can go!

Thank you Richard!
I honestly don't think so because I don't think that they're really three different communities. My feeling is that the "hacker" community is a mix of people having different backgrounds (more software, more business, more design...) but sharing an interest: building things. Indie Hacker is really about that too I think :)
Interesting. Do you have an idea of how you would like it to look like?
Overall, specifically for Frenl, I may be wrong but I never had the feeling that the value wasn't clear. Everyone knows that it's good to network and everyone likes the idea.

That's why I'm experimenting with three new ideas/features:
The one that I'm the least convinced about is actually the "hot takes" because I'm not sure that people will open up easily. We'll see hehe.
