IndieStack Bible: Share your bootstrapping stack

Hi guys,

I am trialing a new process of logging the various tools and services I use for building out products and I thought I would invite you all to contribute!

I have created a simple trello board that segments each tool/service into a category in the form of columns and I am simply creating a card for each tool that applies to a category with a website link in the description.

I have also created two labels: green for free and blue for paid

Here is the link, you should all have edit rights by clicking through: https://trello.com/invite/b/1gQarTJs/5c5e0f0bf6deb7e67d2bec7ee287a5b4/indiestack-bible

Also if you think your product would fit perfectly into one of the categories or would be helpful to the indiehacker community, feel free to create a new column/card and add it to the board!

Any feedback would be great, this is meant to be a crowd sourced bible built by the indiehacker community.

P.S this is slightly biased towards low-code/no code options because i'm a noob coding wise + I want this to also be accessible. However, if you want to add more dev based tools, feel free!

Cheers,

Gbade

    Hey @gb4de,

    I love this idea! Trello is a great fit because people can vote on their favorite product. Perhaps you can enable the voting feature and find a way to sort the lists by number of votes?

    I added a few things πŸ˜ƒ

    1. 1

      Just updated the columns to sort by most votes, just FYI

    Great idea!

    Just joined and added Mailtrain for email marketing! An amazingly good solution which is free and open-source, can save you lots of money every year.

    Great idea. Maybe add a column for Database/Storage. I would split Application Framework into two columns. Front-end and Back-end. Front end can be anything from Android,iOS, React + other javascript languages.

      Hi devgk, thanks for the feedback! everyone has edit access on the board so you have the ability to add in new columns/rearrange existing cards etc so feel free to plug away! πŸ’ͺ🏾

      Thank you so much, I’m completely gobsmacked by the reaction to this. Really did not expect it!

    Awesome idea! I've gone ahead and started to added a couple more development minded columns - CMS's, Application Frameworks, SSL

    1. 1

      Thanks! πŸ™ŒπŸΎ

  11. 1

    Great concept! Just a thought, how about adding a column for prototyping tools such as Invision and Figma, and a column for customer feedback tools?

    1. 2

      Mate go ahead! It’s a tool for everyone so any category that you think will help is a major plus! 😊
