📣 <!channel> We are starting the call now.

Hey <!everyone>, Thanks to @aloof-scientist-13139 we shipped a first version of the whois bot shipit There might be some bugs, so feel free to raise an issue on https://github.com/nimish-gupta/who-is. Also, if you have any suggestions for new features, they are always welcome. All intros have been picked from the #intro channel, so data quality might be an issue. That said, if you want to change your intro, DM me and I'll make edits on the Hasura DB.

I hope this gif is much more readable 😄

One suggestion for everyone here would be to use the

What I do

field on the

edit profile

page to make yourself discoverable in the community. Here's a snapshot below of the People tab. I am sure there are more Javascript developers in the community 😄

<!here> Something urgent came up today and because of that, I am postponing the call to next Saturday. Really sorry for the inconvenience 🙏

🎉 <!channel> Happy to announce that we have a new channel to discuss all things about #no-code. Kudos to @calm-noon-73911, @creamy-dawn-73235 and @hundreds-winter-88791 for taking the ownership of this new space 🙏 I hope this will lead to some interesting side projects built over the weekend 🐕

🚨 <!channel> Here's a reminder for tomorrow's AMA session at 12pm 🙂

<!here> We are starting the call in 5 mins ☝️

📣 <!everyone> Here's a gentle reminder that we do have some guidelines for sharing links on the Slack channel. Seeing some people starting to spam the group with stuff they have written without sharing any context 😞 • Any links posted, should have a sentence or two accompanying it explaining - why you are posting it and what feedback (if any) are you expecting from it? • Any of your own stuff should be posted in #our-work with a few sentences on the reason for sharing it. Happy to hear any suggestions to make this work better for the community 🙏

👋 Hey <!everyone>! In this week’s RI Campfire session, we’ll have Saurabh share his experience of homeschooling his kids and what worked for him.  We had a lot of interest around this topic a couple of weeks back and I thought this would be useful for members who either have kids in their home (staying with my niece 🙋‍♂️) or are curious about alternative methods of schooling. Do signup if are interested 👉 https://zmurl.com/dv8lijw8

🚨 Hey <!channel>, here's a reminder that you can book a mentoring session on the community-driven mentoring platform 👥 Currently, we have 12 mentors who have opened up their calendar, and we hope to have more in the coming future 🔮

Why? We'd like the average member to expect more from themselves by talking to the top 20% members of this tribe.

P.S. - The initial feedback has been promising. That said, we're happy to iterate and make this more useful.

👋 Hey <!everyone>, Here's the session we have all been waiting for 🎉 It seems like sole proprietorship is the simplest business form under which we can operate a business. And we would love to dig deeper with the help of @crooked-activity-79384 who always adds immense value when it comes to #finance related queries 👨‍🏫 Do signup if you are interested in joining us on Saturday evening 👉 https://lu.ma/s4f74r07

Edit: We are doing a 101 session on Legal Entity and Structures and not just Sole Prop (my bad). As part of the AMA, Naga will cover the following topics • Evaluation of a Legal Entity Structure • Decision Variables • Taxation and compliance requirements • Specific evaluation of proprietorship

👋 Hey <!everyone>, If you have found any value from the tribe, then please consider supporting the community by becoming a patron. A steady income, where I can live comfortably, will allow me to execute the plans that will create more value for everyone in the tribe 🏘️

For exampe, I’d like to build a bespoke coffee shop like digital space for the RI community to hangout. Something like https://getmakerlog.com/ or https://indiehackers.com/. Slack is a solid tool for building online communities, but it feels limiting in many ways and the experience is similar to what you would get in a Starbucks.

Here are the different ways you can help  • ☕ Buy me a coffee ( 150 rupees/month ) • 🥤 Become a contributor ( 350 rupees/month ) • 🙌 Become a supporter( 700 rupees/month ) • 🥇 Become a Top supporter( >1400 rupees/month ) I am also looking out for a couple of sponsors ( 7k rupees/month ). I will be very thankful if you can make an introduction to a founder in this regard 🙏 📥 Please DM me if you want to become a patron of the RemoteIndian project. Patrons do get special perks like recording for all zoom calls 📹 and monthly insider updates 💌 Have a great weekend everyone 🤗

We are starting the session now ..

🤔 Have you ever felt embarrassed during your video calls?  I did because India is notorious for high decibel levels. Now though, I can cancel all background noise thanks to Krisp.ai 🔇 A lot of us in the community have battle-tested Krisp.ai last week on our calls. The person on the other side had no clue that the pressure cooker was whistling in full glory or there was a vegetable seller in the neighborhood 😎 <!everyone> Since it’s such a valuable tool, we asked Krisp to offer a 25% Off on the yearly subscription plan which is now live 🎉 The coupon code is

ForIndianRemote

PS - It has a generous free plan. So you can test the waters first before investing in an annual plan.

Hey <!everyone>, there's a new deal in the house 🎉 😁 🙏 Thanks to Divyendu, we now have a special discount of 30% (that lasts forever) on the Execute Program subscription. Coupon code -

REMOTEINDIAN

Execute Program offers interactive lessons on programming tools by Gary Bernhardt. The lessons interleave prose with live programming problems. Akin to the Mnemonic medium, the site integrates a Spaced repetition memory system to repeat lessons’ tasks over time.

More details 👉 https://notes.andymatuschak.org/z2LGZ8cXBcQMP7YuAHbeVyCSLZoiMXvQNKCok You can start with an account that gives you 16 free lessons. But do note that this code will work for four weeks (i.e., till 16th October). PS - If you use a product that you love (and pay for) and deem it to be useful for the members in the RemoteIndian community, then DM me. I can share a draft email that you can use to start a conversation. We are already speaking to the wonderful folks at RemoteLeaf, Readwise, and Sizzy to see if we can get a discount for the tribe.

Wanted to let you know that this code also works for renewals 🎊 party parrot
