Indie Scholars

iPhone / Education

Indie Scholars is a private community of writers, readers, and thinkers building serious intellectual lives outside the academy.

The app gives members on-the-go access to everything happening in the community:

- Browse posts and discussions across reading groups, writing circles, and topic spaces.
- Follow scheduled events: lectures, seminars, writing sessions, and live conversations.
- Direct message other members and join group chats.
- Read posts with full rich-text formatting, comments, and replies.
- Stay signed in securely with email one-time codes.

This is a members-only app. To use it, you need an active Indie Scholars community account. Not yet a member? Visit indiescholars.com to learn about the community and how to join.

Indie Scholars is for people who:

- Read seriously and want to think alongside others doing the same.
- Are working on long projects - books, dissertations, essays, courses - and want company.
- Want to engage with ideas in the lineage of Montaigne, Spinoza, Hume, Emerson, and Nietzsche.
- Prefer slower, more thoughtful conversation than what social media offers.

A clean, focused, native experience for reading and conversation - without the distractions of the open web.
