About us
SouthWest Indie Developers is a community for independent software developers, founders, freelancers, and side-project builders across Bristol and the South West of the UK.
Whether you're building your first app, growing a SaaS product, freelancing, or experimenting with a passion project, this meetup is a space to connect with like-minded developers who are shipping real things.
### What we’re about
- 🚀 Building and launching independent products
- 💡 Sharing lessons from real-world development
- 🧠 Talking tech, tooling, testing, design, and architecture
- 📈 Exploring growth, monetisation, and sustainability
- 🤝 Supporting each other through the highs and lows of indie life
We welcome developers of all stacks and experience levels — mobile, web, backend, games, AI, hardware, and everything in between.
### What to expect
Our events may include:
- Short talks from local indie developers
- Show & tell sessions
- Honest founder stories (the wins and the mistakes)
- Practical discussions around marketing, pricing, and product strategy
- Informal networking and community building
No gatekeeping. No egos. Just thoughtful developers building interesting things.
If you're working independently — or thinking about it — you’ll find your people here.
