[Ask IH] What are your ideas to improve Indie Hackers?

Later, I'll turn some of your suggestions in a quick survey for anyone to complete. The survey analysis will show what IH should focus on first to create an even better community.

So, first things first: how do you suggest to improve Indie Hackers?

    I'd like a button to block a user, so that I can prevent obvious spam accounts from filling my feed with rubbish.

    Performance (always)

  3. 3

    I would appreciate LinkedIn link in profile.

    Open source it so that we can fix and improve it faster.

    Re-implement it without Firebase and all this single-page-app stuff. Use plain ol' html and database. Compare the slow and buggy behavior of IndieHackers to the snappy and bug-free HackerNews website. Throw some caching at it, and it would be a whole different world!

    A simple version without the bells and whistles. Loading takes a long time at times, which leads me to press something like the back button twice.

  6. 1

    Ditch Firebase and SPA

  7. 1

    I think the performance is rather bad.

    And the mobile experience is always a mess for me, love the site but there are things to improve definitely :)

    I just joined this week and was surprised by how slow the site is. I'd definitely focus on performance. Happy to help rearchitect and reengineer for free.

    Tags to mark posts. Specially to separate "maker" posts from other content.

    I wish it was faster,at times it gets busy and keeps loading
