Side projects don’t have to be about writing programs, they can also be about creating a technical community where people can continue to learn and connect with each other.
As a front-end engineer, I have participated in many book clubs and observed that many of them are difficult to operate in the long run. Therefore, I started from this pain point and created “Tech Book Community” - a book club community focusing on technical books and communication. Starting from 0, it grew into a community that regularly organizes activities and accumulates hundreds of members within a year.
In this session, we’ll talk about how to build a community from scratch, including:
- How to find the first members and focus on topics
- Designing and maintaining community rules and culture.
- Selection of tools for program flow and registration mechanism.
- How to enhance the sense of participation and growth of members.
- How to avoid burnout of community operators so that you can enjoy it in the long run.
If you’ve ever wanted to build your own community, or are curious about the Side Project that doesn’t involve writing a program, welcome to share this real-life community management journey with us!
