About Make Software
Computers are
fun again.
A space in Vienna to make something you care about. Shared themes, different perspectives, and good people to build with.
01 / Why we’re here
Making things can be solitary. We created a place to do it together: closer to a painting class than a tech meetup. A little structure, a room full of different perspectives, and time to follow an idea.
Each meetup starts with a shared theme: the environment, public transport, or everyday life. We form small groups with different skills and explore what we could make: an app, a website, or a device.
Make something you care about.
With people who care about making.
Work with code, no-code tools, or AI. What matters is the thought you bring to the work and what you learn along the way.
02 / What we believe
A few principles
for making together.
Share work in progress.
An unfinished idea is a good place to start a conversation. Sharing early helps us learn from each other.
Use AI with intention.
Use AI as a tool. Bring your own ideas, judgment, and care to what you make.
Follow your curiosity.
Make something that matters to you. It doesn’t need a business plan.
Care in the details.
Take time to consider how your work feels to the people who use it.
Learn from each other.
Different skills and perspectives make the work richer. Every level of experience is welcome.
03 / See you in Vienna
