I wouldn't call it 'advertising', but I do mention it in FIRE subreddits every now and then. r/financialindependence is (understandably) super strict about self promotion, but the existing users mention the site in comm

Thank you! These days I am doing my best to know what users want, but it gets harder and harder. Previously I could talk to 1-2 users and already get a lot of insight. Nowadays there are often conflicting requests or just too many of them.

It is interesting that so many people think of gold diggers, but so far this haven't been a problem (there is a way to report users and the number of reports is very small). My impression is that FIRE folks are not that good of target.

I don't want to artificially slow down the users, so I am considering donations. This would align my incentives with the users' the most. There is a vague idea to use financial contribution as a way to validate account and serious

I think most often 'retiring' is not meant literally. In other words, one does not work at an ordinary job anymore, but they pursue other endeavors. They might even 'work' more after 'retiring'. It is true that

I think if you have intrinsic motivation to work on your hobbies, it won't feel like work and you will find a way (unless you are actually extremely exhausted - then the fix is to rest). 'I feel like I’m missing that spark' s

I disagree that pursuing financial independence is a false pursuit. "Financial independence" != "independence from the society". No one claims to be independent of the society. One just does not have to earn money anymor

To be honest, I am not sure whether engineering is a bottle neck as of now. Site's functionality has actually pretty much converged and it already works. Full blown open sourcing seems like a large endeavor and I just spend 1.5 hours a

I've got an idea during a FIRE meetup, so there was already initial interest (~10 people). Once I had the site running, I made a post on Reddit and people just joined. In 1.5 months around 500 users joined (there is a graph here: http

Thank you! I value transparency and happily share stats and why I make specific decisions. I've got an idea of such "open" page from levelsio's https://nomadlist.com/open .

I personally perceived this as a signaling to female users to motivate them to join more. But the way you phrase this is also interesting. To be fair, the ratio was not public at the very beginning.

I agree, I was also assuming a worse ratio. However, I tried comparing this with other dating sites and they report better ratios. At the same time, I suspect that FIRE community might be biased towards males (even though I heard that major

To be honest, everyone was always asking for this. I already had a public stats page back then, so it was very easy to just include it there (to save my time calculating this manually).
