Built for makers, not for ads

Your craft.
Your shop.
Your school.
One home.

DIY Tribe is where makers grow an audience, sell handmade work, and teach verified courses — one page, one following, and a cut that doesn't insult you.

Founding status for the first 500 makers · Free while in beta · No app store required

One page, three businesses

Show it. Sell it. Teach it.

Today that takes Instagram, Etsy and Udemy — three audiences, three fee structures, three platforms that own your following. Here it's one page with your name on it.

A feed that respects the work
Show

A feed that respects the work

Chronological. Everyone you follow, every time — reach is never for sale. Build logs document a project from rough lumber to final coat: the format makers want and no platform has built.

A shop with provenance

A shop with provenance

Every listing carries a handmade attestation — made by hand, hand-finished, or honestly disclosed. No dropshipping, no lookalikes on page three. Old Etsy, with teeth.

Courses worth finishing

Courses worth finishing

Human-verified against a published rubric before a single sale. Students finish with a practice brief — real work, reviewed by the maker — not a certificate mill. You keep 88%.

Plus standard card processing. No listing fees. No ad platform. No subscription to sell.

Verified Maker

Verified means a human checked.

Every course is reviewed against a published rubric before it can be sold. Every listing carries an attestation of how it was made — and we audit. This is the entire point of the platform.

A published rubric

Accuracy · Completeness · Production · Structure · Honesty. Scored 0–5 by a working maker in your craft, visible on every course page.

Handmade attestations

Made by hand, hand-finished, designed by me, or curated — declared on every listing, with process evidence, and re-audited as volume grows.

Nothing hides

Feed ranking rules are public. Fees are public. Review criteria are public. If we change any of it, we announce it.

Communities, not audiences

Find your people.

Tribes are craft communities with makers for moderators, monthly challenges, and a leaderboard for helpfulness — not follower count, not outrage.
