Thank you! That's the idea, and even though its been a slow burn, the conversations have been interesting and rewarding. One of the funniest proof of concept so far was, someone asked how to route a guitar body to fit a new bridge on a network with maybe a dozen active people at the time. Within like a day, a total stranger with an actual woodshop and eight spare guitars showed up with real technical advice and offered him a discount on one of the guitars. Maybe it was a fluke, but it really struck me, and there have been a number of small interactions since that one that really remind me why I loved the early web so much.
Awesome, looking forward to seeing you on the boards. Yeah, we have a decent little group of active posters and we've been adding to that number slowly but consistently since I put it online a few weeks ago.
It's been fun and I've learned starting a community is a lot harder than it looks. Maybe I'll write a post on what I've learned sometime. TLDR and probably no surprise to most: making the software is the easy part.
