I think what most developers need is mentors, direction and a community... that's why we'd do almost anything to get into an accelerator. We think "if 50% stake for $100k is the best offer I can get, I should take it because I want to go where things happen."

There should really be an alternative. Something where we could just help each other out. That's why I'm making a club... it's called Indie Developer Club. I just had the idea this weekend so the website isn't operational yet, but anyone can send me an email if they like the idea and want to join.

You'll do better if you announce location.

In Seattle, I encourage veryone to join SURF.

I'm way too broke for a co-working space. The plan is to initially use Google Hangouts because the cost is $0 and there's no time wasted travelling to a physical location.

If more than 10 people join there will need to be more than one regularly scheduled Google Hangout, so it makes sense to break them up by geography. I just have to make a system that let's people add their own Google hangouts to the system and let other members RSVP for them.
