Show & Tell. Show what you’ve working on in the past few weeks to others & share your learnings in 7 - 10 minutes session. Few people will show they progress & what they’ve shipped so you can learn from each other.

Forum. Have an async discussion with other members on how to improve yourself better on productivity, shipping, & growing your passion projects.
