Learnings

  • Community platforms live or die on the quality of the people, not the technology.
  • Keeping it simple - event listings, speaker profiles, resources - turned out to be the right call. Feature creep helps no one.
  • The Meetup platform eventually became a liability more than an asset. Owning your own community infrastructure matters.
