This is super refreshing! I really hope that this community lasts. For me, even though I passionately believe in my project, the biggest problem is that I can't motivate myself on a day-to-day basis, so I end up getting distracted. But I do notice that when I discuss my project with friends and family, I can get rolling again. Going to a startup event gives that effect too, but lesser as I always feel out of place - I don't want external funding as huge as VC's, nor am I in a hurry to scale it asap and so on. It seems that "organic" growing is most suitable for my profile; yes I want to make a profit but I also want to make it a personal enrichment (my project is art/education based). But without peer "push", the project can stretch for years at this rate! A community like this could be a game-changer :)
