Light a Fire. Gather Around. Build Together.
kumbaya.dev is a positive‑energy, community-driven accountability platform for indie hackers, solopreneurs, and builders. It celebrates the art of showing up - turning consistent progress into a shared and celebrated practice, helping indie hackers, solopreneurs, and creatives stay accountable through public intention, supportive peers, and visible progress.
Its mission is to replace toxic hustle culture with _positive accountability_—a sense of warmth, belonging, and shared purpose.
Everything in Kumbaya is framed through the metaphor of a campfire in the dark, surrounded by people creating warmth together.
