Accountability pods

Nobody ships alone

Pods are small groups that learn on the same track and check in every week. It's the reason people finish.

  1. 1

    Join and introduce yourself

    Tell us your track and what you want to build.

  2. 2

    Get matched into a pod

    5–8 people on the same track and a similar schedule.

  3. 3

    Set goals, show up weekly

    Monday goals, Friday demos, Sunday check-ins.

  4. 4

    Grow together

    Monthly retros, pod challenges and a crew that notices when you go quiet.

Weekly rhythm

Something every week

MON

Goal-setting thread

Post 1–3 goals for the week in your pod.

WED

Live build

We build something small together, bugs and all. 8 pm IST.

FRI

Show & tell

Demo what you shipped, or the bug that beat you.

SUN

Check-in

Tick off goals. Pods and partners review and cheer.

House rules

How we treat each other

Share the bug, not just the win

Struggles help others more than polished posts.

Be kind, be specific

Critique code, never people. Explain the why.

Give credit

Link the tutorial, thank the person who helped.

No spam or selling

Self-promotion only in the channels made for it.

Your crew is waiting.
