Hey IH! π
I just launched CodeAnswr and got 16 signups so far.
The Problem:
Everyone uses ChatGPT now, but those conversations disappear. Same questions asked 1000x times because AI chats aren't searchable.
My Solution:
Paste your ChatGPT conversation β We extract Q&A β Publish as searchable post
+ Privacy scanner (detects API keys before publishing)
Launch Journey:
β’ Shadowbanned 9x on Reddit π
β’ Shadowbanned 3x on Hacker News
β’ Product Hunt worked β
β’ Now trying IH!
Stats After 1 Week:
β’ 16 signups
β’ 8 questions posted
β’ 0 secrets leaked (privacy scanner works!)
Open Questions for IH:
1. How do you get un-shadowbanned? π€
2. Should I focus on B2C (individuals) or B2B (teams)?
3. What channels worked best for your launches?

Would love feedback from fellow indie hackers! π
