I would love something like this if it where completely free of visual distractions. Purely text based like HN.

Using HN is kind of giving me a nice "easy time" without colors, images or animations. Using a site that has a lot of visually "loud" elements takes away energy from me.

Another aspect that would be nice is if everybody would announce the city they are in, so people could come together for local "builder meetups".

It would really help if this post explained what is wrong with IndieHackers?

Not sure what to make of this without context.

What is Skool? Is Skool the thing that you built? Or is it just a forum? I don't understand what I am looking at sorry

edit:

ok for everyone else:

skool seems like a community forum, where everyone can create their own community, sort of like reddit (?), except the top communities all seems a little... scammy and off

https://www.skool.com/

IndieHackers was some forum for ... indie hackers. That closed.

This is someone opening a new forum on skool that is named IndieHackers, but is otherwise un-affiliated with the old indiehackers.

Putting it on skool is like the opposite of what hackers want.

Skool is filled with a huge number of scammers and is also run by blatant scammers like Alex Hormozi, a new Tai Lopez.
