ZurichJS Meetup: Beers, grills, and how to monetize
No slides, no schedule. We're meeting up for a relaxed ZurichJS summer meetup with drinks, barbecue, and people who build things.
If you’re shipping an AI tool, a vibe-coded side project, a SaaS product, or an existing app that could use a better business model, bring it along. We’ll hang out, compare notes, and brainstorm how to turn useful software into something that actually makes money.
Let's get the bbq going with beers and geeks.
Important: this is a potluck edition. Bring your preferred barbecue option (and maybe some extra to share if you want), some picnic blankets or picnic chairs, anything that you'd normally bring to a picnic. We're a big family at the end of the day 🫶

Al Aire Libre Club ☀️
**Al Aire Libre Club**
Son “gatherings creativos” de verano en la naturaleza para inspirarnos a través de conversaciones, journaling, juegos y actividades creativas al aire libre. ¿Y porque este espacio existe?… because girls just wanna have fun 🎶
**Primer encuentro de verano: LA INSPIRACIÓN**
La inspiración… esa que emerge en lo cotidiano.
Una frase de una película que nos mueve, una canción que despierta recuerdos, algo que nos atraviesa, un paisaje que nos devuelve la calma, un instante simple en el que sentimos que algo se despierta y se mueve dentro de nosotras.
Y ese impulso se siente como ganas: ganas de crear, de tomar una decisión, de darle forma a algo que tiene significado para nosotras.
**¿Cuál es la actividad para romper el hielo?**
En este encuentro creativo vamos a jugar con la inspiración...
Trae algo que te haya inspirado: una frase de un libro, una canción cuya letra te atraviese, un libro que te cambió la vida, un dije u objeto con un significado profundo para ti, una foto que amas o algo que hayas/estes creando.. ya sea físico, un concepto de un proyecto o algo que tú misma hayas escrito y sientas que ya es momento de compartir.
La idea es venir a dejar que ruja tu alma: compartir lo que traes y contarnos por qué es tan especial para ti.
* Queremos inspirarnos mutuamente, tener conversaciones auténticas y profundas.
* Que este sea un espacio donde nos enseñes un pedacito de ese mágico universo que habita en ti.
* Queremos conocerte a través de lo que te mueve, y que todas salgamos con los ojos llenos de estrellitas, listas para seguir creando más de eso que nos inspira.
**Trae:**
* Una manta o tela para sentarte
* Tu libreta y lápiz
* Una bebida para mantenerte hidratada (necesitamos ese cerebro prendido, creativo y presente)
* Algo para comer o compartir
* Y, obviamente, no olvides traer algo que te inspire (según la descripción de arriba)
Este espacio lo vamos a co-crear juntas.
**¿Te sumas?**
🗓 Sábado 20 de Junio
🕒 10:30 am – 13:00pm
📍 Zürichhorn, Höschgasse 3, Zürich, CH (Cerca de Chinagarten, junto al lago, a lado de la escultura llamada “Heureka" de Jean Tinguely)

Greetings writers! Come down and join your fellow wordsmiths for one hour of uninterrupted writing time in the upper level of the Market District Supermarket in Upper Arlington.
The main entrance of the shopping center opens onto stairs/elevator leading up to the 2nd floor cafe section where we will have a table displaying a sign with the Shut Up & Write logo.
Writing is largely a solitary craft. Practicing with others in a community setting may be the thing you need to fire your own routine.
We’ll meet on Wednesday evenings, starting the clock at 6:30, following a brief period of introductions. This is solid writing time and all inclusive. Any project is acceptable, be it fiction, non -fiction, work or homework assignment. All is welcome and will remain private to you.
The market boasts a Starbucks, a full service bar and various affordable food options. Parking is plentiful, free Wifi is provided as well as outlets for charging your devices, though they are somewhat limited, so plan accordingly.
Show up as early as you like, or stay late. This group tends to socialize some, both before and after the alloted time, but this is not mandatory to you. Feel free to come and go as you please and late arrivals are welcome.
The cafe may be noisy on occasion so headphones/ earbuds are reccommended as you see fit.
Please try to RSVP if possible so that we may grab enough seats for all—the venue can be busy at times.
Feel free to message me privately wth any questions and/ or concerns you may have.
Happy writing!
