Multimakers

Indie Makers are Lonely, Too

Have you ever felt like the lone indie maker, toiling over multiple projects and yearning for meaningful connections? I did, and that’s why I decided to create a Swedish Indie Hackers community. It wasn’t just about having a space for developers and designers building on more than one project; it was about creating a sense of belonging, a network where we could all thrive.

A Community of Humility and Generosity

The community we foster is unlike any typical tech hub. Here, humility and generosity are at the core of our values. Each member who ships apps, ideally for profit, contributes to a vibrant ecosystem of shared knowledge. It’s interesting how a philosophy of ‘give more than you take’ builds a foundation of trust and collaboration amongst peers. There’s so much value in helping each other out, listening, and sharing, and it fuels incredible growth for everyone involved.

Balancing Tech, Design, and Real Connections

Our space isn’t just a digital intersection of technology and design; it’s alive with real conversations. We navigate the digital realm through an active Slack channel that’s buzzing with ideas. But we believe in taking online discussions offline, meeting in person over lunch, dinner, or breakfast to deepen those connections. This delicate balance between technology, design, and personal interaction sets us apart from larger communities where individuals often get lost in the crowd.

The Power of Being Small

There’s immense power in keeping our community small. It allows us to maintain intimacy and create meaningful opportunities for collaboration. Every voice matters, and every interaction has the potential to inspire new ideas or solutions. It’s not just about the projects we work on but the legacy we strive to leave behind.
