4 years on Twitter and we’re still smashing out the side projects in our little community. Want to find out what? Join the fun! #MyTwitterAnniversary
It's a new year when many of us have new ideas and renewed enthusiasm. Why not join us in our Slack community to help deliver those side projects? We've got some great projects happening at the moment… onthesideworkspace.slack.com
Read a bit about how @alpenglowapp came about and how I got started in iOS development. 👇

Two of our regulars @Si and @ay8s met for a “coffee roulette” IRL today, comparing notes on remote working and success/fail stories of recent side projects. Join the fun and meet fellow side project fans in our community.
So true - especially for many of our community members. But we will try to help you reach that final box.
If you were starting a side-project or two today, where would you host them and how much money do you think you'd be open to paying for everything? Web + DB + email + some form of object storage.
After 18 months of progressive growth, we’ve just reached our first 100 members. The community isn’t about scale, more about close knit support, but it’s lovely to know so many people have been intrigued by our group trying to work on their side projects.
Great post from @mubashariqbal about finding time for side projects. Key points are making time, enjoying it and maybe include friends to add a social element too. medium.com/makesideprojec…

Finding the Time for Side Projects
It is no secret that I enjoy working on Side Projects. I probably have more side projects, than people have actual projects.
Me: I should start a side project My pile of abandoned side projects: Yay more friends!
We've been having great fun with @larkapps' Icebreaker app over the past month or so. Regular trivia questions are awesome for driving engagement - especially with the "winners" in the community trying to get more gems 💎 larkapps.ai/icebreakers
A great example of the type of side projects we have in the community. @ay8s is a truly inspiring member as he smashes out new products and ideas all the time.
Lots of side project fun today. Merged in Simplified Chinese localization into @F1Cal before migrating the site to a Vercel team. Worked on a little iOS 14 project 🤐 and I’ve just wrapped up making @alpenglowapp’s Widgets actually load in data. :)
We just had a great session brainstorming with community members what should be on our new website. Fantastic contributions and ideas plus it was wonderful to hear WHY people joined and STAYED in the community. The power of user feedback and collaboration.
Our little community is featured on a @CreativeBloq piece about helping the creative community get through lockdown creativebloq.com/features/8-onl…
I was just chatting to a friend about this tweet The On The Side slack is definitely one of my favourite 'cosy web’ places to hang out - laughs, chats and support - so important when our existence is more and more mediated by screens !
So many good #CozyWeb and #DigitalGardening theories and chats floating around lately I illustrated myself a map of the current web landscape based off @vgr's original thesis - breakingsmart.substack.com/p/the-extended… Combined with @ystrickler's "Dark Forest" - onezero.medium.com/the-dark-fores…
During these difficult times, it's great to talk to your peers about how you're handling work, life and side projects. Our members regularly check in and chat with each other - not necessarily on their sides.
This would be amazing to see in our community!
Side projects are fun Here’s one that never saw the light of day—was trying to capture the feeling of being in the same space as your team:
