I have a day job, but try to work on side-projects time to time. I made 5 side projects last year. Forrst is an awesome community, but I get a feeling that most of the members are Designers. Kinda feel left out in there.

Also, I am a great fan of "Show HN" posts but a good feedback is always a matter of luck. Only posts reaching frontpage gets the exposure and rest dies out with 2-3 comments.

Is there a community/forum for people like me to show my side-projects, get feedback etc.

Might be as simple as a scraper for "Show HN" posts.

Most side projects don't end up as anything even beginning to resemble a startup.

I'm always interested in what others are building both professionally and as a side project. I think this is a great idea and would love to be part of it.
