I did just that, and built https://wonderful.dev

It's based around jobs for devs, but right now it's just a place to chat about tech.

They literally said that online communities wasn't what they were talking about though.

If I have an in-person community that's non-tech it's enough for me to only have an online tech community. That's how it was for me growing up, and it would be great to have that again.

yeah but it isn't about what you want. Ofc you like the idea, you built the damn thing. But the author of the post (which you replied/advertised to) explictly talked against this kind of thing. It's like a Budweiser ad on a mosque

Meta commentary: there’s something interesting in the fact that my first instinct was “great another piece of vibeslop”, which inverted completely to genuine interest when I recognized your username.

The “personal brand” and track record might be getting even more important now that the bar to building something has dropped to the floor.

I don't think you will attract any competent "devs" with a platform that is locked behind a GitHub 2FA login. I am not going to create an account at Microsoft to use your platform.
