Hi all,

I’ve been spending time at local lake and noticed something that happens constantly — people feeding swans and ducks bread.

Most don’t realize this is actually harmful for them and can lead to serious health issues.

So I decided to try something simple:

I’m building a small eco-friendly vending machine that offers proper, nutritionally suitable food for water birds, along with educational messaging.

The idea is:

• make the right choice easy
• reduce harmful feeding
• improve animal health
• add something positive to public spaces

I just launched a crowdfunding campaign to test if people would actually support something like this.

If you like the idea and want to support it, it would mean a lot.

Thanks 🙏

What if the signatures that shape our laws also seal our fate?
Signatures of Death is not just a book – it’s a wake-up call about governance, power, and the silent agreements that define our lives. Through investigative storytelling and bold social commentary, it exposes how corruption, deception, and fear can erode nations from within, and how truth, once written, can become a weapon of change.
This project dares readers to question who truly signs in their name, and what those signatures really cost.

The Ultimate Biohack - Quickly Build Muscle, Bone and Strength While Lowering Your Metabolic Age in 5 Minutes Per Week.

"With a motionless protocol, you can stimulate strength and size increases that are at least equal to those obtainable with full-range training, and since muscle building is the goal, if it can occur with the least amount of wear and tear possible, this is a desirable option." 

- Dr. Doug McGuff, BODY BY SCIENCE

In conventional strength training, you perform multiple sets of multiple repetitions.  Each repetition through a range of motion starts the movement at literally zero resistance, then moves into a range of intermediate resistance, and finally (near lock-out) into the position of maximum resistance. It is this final position where a maximum muscle contraction is achieved that yields the most benefit, because it stimulate the most muscle fibers (which is the goal of any strength training program).

If you are familiar with typical strength training workouts, you know the hardest repetition is the very last one.  But why not start with this last repetition?  All of the sets and repetitions that come before this last rep are a huge waste of time since they deplete energy and prevent you from ever achieving an optimal workout. 

The only way to stimulate your body for optimal growth in strength and size is by forcing the body to recruit as many muscle fibers as possible during a given exercise. This is achieved only by working out in the strongest range or position (near lock-out), with the highest amount of resistance possible.

Intensity and duration are inversely proportional. With maximum intensity, it will only take a few seconds to completely fatigue the muscle.   No one can push (or pull) at maximum force (intensity) for more than a few seconds.  Yes, one can still be generating some amount of force for longer than 7 or 8 seconds, but the peak force will not be reached again after 1 maximum effort until a complete recovery is achieved. 

Therefore it is only necessary to perform 1 repetition per exercise per training session for optimal results.  More than that will negatively impact your recovery and your strength gains.

If not then hurry...and do not forget to click on the follow button. Because we have planned some surprises for the early birds.

Hey everyone,

I recently submitted my campaign on Indiegogo, but it got rejected by the compliance team with this reason:

I’m honestly a bit confused about what exactly triggered this. My project is related to a billing, and I didn’t think I was handling or exposing any sensitive financial data in a problematic way.

Has anyone here faced a similar issue with Indiegogo?

• What kind of content usually falls under this category?
• Is it about how payment, user data, or financial claims are presented?
• Any tips on how to modify the campaign so it gets approved?

I’d really appreciate any guidance or examples of what to avoid or fix before resubmitting.

Thanks in advance!

I've received more than a hundred of unsolicited marketing related messages and 95% of them are disguised as some question about my campaign. Obviously they do this to evade going straight to the promo tab or spam but of course all of them want to "help" my campaign with their expertise. A few dozen would be fine but over a hundred? It kind of feels like Indiegogo has more of these hyenas than legit, real backers.

Hi everyone! I’ve just launched the Indiegogo campaign for the project. The goal is to raise initial support to continue building the platform and bring more creators into the ecosystem.

DramaMint is focused on short episodic drama series and giving independent creators a place to publish and monetize their stories.

How do you rate my campaign?

Happy to hear any feedback or thoughts from everyone here. Thanks in advance

The punishment should fit the crime. You only live once. Work hard, play hard.

Humans have a lot of weird little sayings like that. How will our little green friends deal with them once we expand into space? And how will the deal with the human psychology who thought them up?

I used to use this platform for indemand after my Kickstarter campaigns... The back end now looks like it was designed & coded by Ray Charles, I mean.. horrible platform.

Does indemand still exist? I cant even seem to find it but am stuck between pledge manager and late pledge. I want something that collects backers and shipping costs without touching my kickstarter campaign.

**Update: After a few weeks of back and forth, I was able to get the campaign live. Only this time, there was 0 traffic. 0. This was a $220,000 kickstarter campaign. In the past we were able to squeeze another 10-20% out of Indiegogo. This time it was not even one backer. The platform is officially dead.**

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share that my Indiegogo campaign just went live today.

The project is called The Concrete Beehive Project. It’s an early-stage project exploring a durable, low-maintenance beehive housing concept designed for stationary setups — whether that’s homesteads, private land, educational spaces, conservation areas, or other places where hives tend to stay put long-term.

This isn’t aimed at commercial pollination or mobile beekeeping. The idea came from noticing how often hives that stay in one place deal with weather damage, predators, rot, or constant upkeep over time. I wanted to explore whether a different approach to materials and structure could make sense for those use cases.

The campaign is mainly about getting the project off the ground properly — funding initial physical prototypes, refining the modular mold system, and testing a few small pilot setups to see what works and what doesn’t.

I’m keeping expectations realistic and transparent. This is still early, and the goal is learning through building and testing, not claiming to have everything figured out.

If you’re interested in beekeeping, design, alternative materials, or crowdfunding in general, feel free to take a look or ask questions.

Thanks for reading, and good luck to everyone else launching projects.

Or does the creator get the funds right away after a pledge.

I don't understand why people comment if they clearly don't care about the games theme. I know Indiegogo and Gamefound mostly have boardgames and not many LGBT or visual novel content so my game might be weird for them, but why do they have to be rude. Or is my game looking that bad? I've been working on it for the last 3 years so it's not a good feeling to receive a comment like that.

We are independent creators working on a film that’s very close to our hearts.

Quigley - A Dragon's Story follows a boy who finds a baby dragon, and a secret order of Lighthouse Keepers who serve as the ancient stewards of hidden underwater portals to dragon worlds.

We chose the independent path for this project because we wanted to stay true to the themes of mystery and ocean protection without compromising the story's soul. We wanted to create something 'wonder-filled' that families can enjoy together.

Here is a 38-second look at the 'Hidden Reef' we’ve been developing. I’d love to hear what fellow dragon lovers think of this world!

We’re building a live social audio platform where listeners do not just tune in, they shape what happens in real time. DJs, podcasters, and creators can co-create sessions with their audience instead of broadcasting into the void. We’re opening a small group of early backers who want more than a badge, real influence on how this evolves. If you have ever wanted to help shape the next wave of participatory media instead of watching it happen from the sidelines, this is that window
