Ask HN: Is there demand for private communities that discuss IT (and life)?

6 points by movedx 6y ago ↗ HN

Hello,

Full transparency: I operate such a community. It's tiny right now. 11 VIPs. I'm not going to link it.

I believe there's a need for private, professional communities that aren't too big or aren't too small. I don't exactly know what this number looks like to be fair.

What are your thoughts? How do you feel about the fully open, public nature of communities like Hacker News, certain subreddits, etc?

do you have more information?

Well I'm not sure if it's appropriate for me to share the details (don't want to be seen as spamming), but here: https://www.thecloud.coach/vips

Well, if it turns out to be "just another community" then that won't interest me or most of the people, imo.

If it is around a specific niche, then it's a different thing.

So say I ran a private community around DevOps and CloudOps, then? Is that specific enough?
