It's been a tough week all around. For me my feed at Indie Hackers is full of coronavirus, no doubt it is on everyone's mind too.
My business has been deeply impacted, though I remain hopeful that we will recover from it, in time. On a positive note, having built a company rooted in community, we at least get to benefit from the moral Twitter support where members have been sharing fond memories of our events. It helps us shift some online membership payments, but it is also a great boost to our team.
🙏🏽 Maybe some of these articles will help take your mind off things for a while. Enjoy and stay safe.
❤️ Also feel free to respond to this email if you need any moral support.
