Help Us Shape the Future of the Community

Over the past few years, this community has grown into something really special. It started as a simple idea and turned into a space full of spontaneous meetups, helpful recommendations, shared advice, surprising collaborations, and a feeling of connection that is hard to describe. Whether you post regularly, check in quietly, or just enjoy reading the conversations, you’re part of what makes this space what it is.

That’s why I’m asking for a small but meaningful contribution: your thoughts.

I’ve put together a short anonymous questionnaire to better understand what people love about the community, what could be improved, and how we can build something even more useful and enjoyable for everyone involved. It’s quick and easy, and there are no names, emails, or tracking involved. Just a few questions to help me understand what matters most to you.

🧐 Why now?

As the community continues to grow, it feels like the right moment to step back and reflect on how far we’ve come, and where we might want to go next. Communities do not just run on autopilot. They evolve because of the people in them, and because of the care, effort, and ideas that those people bring to the table.

This form is a way to listen to a wide range of voices. Whether you joined recently or have been here since the beginning, whether you run a business or just enjoy being part of the vibe, whether you’re super active or quietly observing, your perspective counts.

The goal is not to overhaul or reinvent things overnight. The goal is to listen, learn, and build on what’s already working.

🧩 What’s in the form?

You will not find anything complicated, boring, or corporate. Just a few open questions like:

  • What do you enjoy most about being here? What would you like to see more of (or maybe less)?
  • What would make this space feel even more useful or welcoming to you?
  • And a chance to share anything else on your mind, whether it is an idea, a concern, or something we have not thought of yet.

There are no required questions, and no pressure. Share as much or as little as you like. Even one sentence is helpful.

🔄 What happens next?

Once enough responses come in, I’ll go through all of them carefully. I’ll summarize what people have shared and highlight some of the themes, ideas, and suggestions that come up the most. From there, I’ll think through the next steps and share an update both in Slack and here on the website.

This will not be a one-way process. I want this to feel collaborative and transparent. I might share a few things I am thinking about, and ask for more input before making any big decisions. The goal is to keep improving the community without losing what makes it feel natural, helpful, and human.

🙏 Thank you

Whether you have been here since 2020 or just joined last week, this community would not be what it is without you. Every message, every tip, every question, every recommendation, and every kind gesture adds something to the whole. This form is just one small step to help me continue building something that works well for everyone involved.

    A least half of the appeal of Las Palmas for remote workers and digital nomads is rooted in this community. It’s the best I’ve seen so far in terms of how well it is organised, structured and nurtured. It offers excellent opportunities to meet new people and explore the island.
