Ask HN: Online comunities to discuss WIP programming projects (mine and others)? 

Send to HN

Is there something like a Discourse forum to discuss programming projects that are not yet finished? Any Discord, Matrix, Zulip servers?

I tried Discord but the servers I joined had very hard divisions on the topics, “Showcase” channels had very strict rules and “General” channels went way too fast with no order. I didn’t find any Discourse community for programming discussion that wasn’t specific to a single project.

I recently finished a MVP and realized that the idea’s execution wasn’t good. I could’ve realized way earlier if I had asked for feedback but I don’t have programmer friends nor I’m part of online communities.

I will start v2 of the same project and I’d like to discuss it as I’m developing. I’d also like to see other’s people WIP projects.

Thanks in advance!
