Description: In late September I closed the doors of side project community NotAnotherSlack. Find out why, and how NOT to run a Slack!
Just over 2 years ago I announced the creation of NotAnotherSlack, a community designed for side project owners to come and discuss the ups and downs of creating and running side projects.
At the time there was a lot of chatter on social media about successful side projects, and many were keen to get involved. I think I may have jumped on the bandwagon slightly by creating the community.
Ultimately I have no regrets about creating the Slack group, and accompanying website. I met some very cool people, learned a lot (namely: how not to run a Slack) and for a bit I felt quite powerful (I never let it get to my head, honest!).
