First internet $1 - A world map of indie makers 🌍

Congratulations.
Will there be filters in the future? Maybe filtering the map by industry, revenue or location?

You know, you should charge $1 for each user to be on the map.

It looks GREAT. Love the style, maybe slightly biased because I worked on stargazing apps at the start of my career :)

Are you charging $1 to be listed? Because if not, maybe you should be to stay on theme?
I'll DM you to get listed!

Cool website! I also think you could ask 1$ to be on the map (I thought this was the case at first). After all, people have created slack/discords with a much bigger entry fee (I believe @levelsio talked about that in one of the IH podcasts)

An alternative monetization strategy would be to ask companies that target aspiring indiehackers to chip in (probably more than 1$...) to also have a pin on the map.

I also DMd you on twitter :)

Not only I like the idea but the UI is pretty stunning 👌

Really nice project, so clean and simple. Can't upvote yet but I will.

I was also wondering if you are planing on monetising :)

Thank you once again! Really simple & such a cool project!

I can only imagine what others have been through in the hands of these fraudulent individuals pretending to be cryptocurrency traders & miners. I just had a lifetime experience with them after meeting someone who claims to be an account manager and could help me make huge returns from my investments. I invested a lot of money with them and when it was time to withdraw my profits, they logged me out of my account and told me to put more money into their account. It was already too late before I realize they were swindlers, I had already lost $383,000 worth of Bitcoin to their fraudulent platform. I was depressed and embarrassed, but I started looking for ways to recover my stolen money and I came across an article about a company Cyberwall Fire which has helped thousands of people recover their money from fraudulent transactions, I don’t know how they did it but Cyberwall fire was able to recover my money in 72 hours. Cyberwall Fire is a reputable company and you can contact them with the following information:

Cool! I can see this being useful for connecting or networking with like minded people in my city or while travelling. I DM'd you as well :)

Your idea is very cool but you need to find a way to automate things. There are a lot of people who replied that they want to be listed and for 2 days nothing updated on your map.

Looks nice! I would love to be on the map as well!

this is awesome!

let's add Budva, Montenegro on map too — https://twitter.com/shcheglov_
:)

Fun initiative! Beautiful design too.

This is so awesome - congrats on such a beautiful product!

This is really cool. Good job!

This is an interesting idea! It's really great to see initiatives like this that bring together people with similar goals and ambitions. I'm sure it can be beneficial to many individuals who are just starting out in the world of online business.

The idea of having a map that allows you to browse and connect with other profiles is really cool and could be a great way to make connections and get inspired. It's also great that you give the option to sign up to appear on the map, as this could really help people to participate and get involved.

Do you have any plans for expanding this project or introducing new features? It would be interesting to hear about any upcoming developments!

Omg, that's so cool idea. Simple, beautiful and so catchy, I am impressed 😲

This is really cool. I love the interaction on the map. I wish you added the businesses of indie makers on there too. You could absolutely charge an amount for that.

That is awesome! The idea is so amazing and it is very good. I will definietly recommend this. It is a wow! this is the first time I am amaze about something! two thums up!

Let's add Rome, Italy too 👉🏼 https://twitter.com/MichelePomposo

This looks and feels very catchy. Honestly I wasn't much interested from reading the title but wanted to check out the app and immediately had to interact with it.

Great job on that part! 🎉

Happy to put Munich on the map.

Hey could you add my Twitter:

The whole thing looks great

I WANT IN TOO!! :D

Cool project, how can I see myself on the map :)

Looks very interesting, keep up the work

I love the project, and find really interesting projects that try to ease the pain/job of finding partners and collaborators. Until know the best platform that I´ve found is https://www.startupschool.org/cofounder-matching
Where are you on the map?

This is amazing! Sign me up :)

The UI looks amazing!

Clean UI and great execution! Congrats, Hugo!

would love to see myself there xD

This is very exciting, i would like to be on the map )

Looks great! Would love to be included there!

Awesome project! I loved scanning through the bios to see where everyone is located and what their one-liner is :). I would def recommend instilling some monetization model. Even just $1! I think you could take inspiration from http://www.milliondollarhomepage.com/.

Excited to see where this project ends up!

That's amazing! Very original & clean 🔥

Hey Hugo, This is COOL :)

Very nice idea and design ! :)

This is smart.
A few recommendations:

• You could charge $1 (per month) to be listed (for future founder) as a symbolic commitment to their goal. Once they make their first dollard, they achieve founder status, and being listed is now free
• You could open this "directory" up to founders who are already past the first $1 (which would make your map way MORE valuable for non-members) , but hide their handle in the listing for non-founders. I.e, everyone can see the twitter handle of all the want-to-be-founders, you can also see all the established founders on the map, but to get access to e.g. my contact info (I'm already established) you need to be logged in.
• I'd make it free to the "have made over $1" founders, because they are the hard side of your marketplace . This means that some people on the map have a lot of experience and are attractive to the rest. For instance, I've sold about $15MM worth of products online so far (though I'm shutting that business down to focus on my startup ) and I'm just getting into software. It's not super interesting for me to pay x or even to join a community that is 100% want-to-be-founders. But I might join if there was at least one founder in Barcelona that's doing interesting things even at $1k MRR, because there's always a lot to learn.
• I would allow founders (that have made over $1) to list their startup and link to it
• I would also consider using other handles than just Twitter. Not everyone is on the birdsite. I'm on Mastodon, others might want to link their email or their IndieHackers profile.

With this model if you get to 1k people on the map you're now making a grand a month, etc.

Wow! Amazing UI and superb idea. I love it

Awesome! Really cool project!

Very cool UI! I'll send you a DM on twitter to get added :)

Good idea - I guess it brings more indie hackers together and helps grow better.

Haha that a very cool idea.
I think a lot of us share this wish to make even just 1 buck from an online business.
Also I like how clean and simple it looks.

The design is awesome! I would recommend thinking about how to use automation to get started with it, so there would be thousands of indies on the map already without them having to do anything. Totally doable with Twitter api.

Hey @hugocardenas I've just sent you a DM on Twitter. Amazing project and I'd love to be part of the platform to support what you are building.

Nice and simple design, love it! Would be curious to see what features you add next and how you evolve this platform/service.

Really like this, nice, clean and simple and can evolve in many different and very cool ways

This is so cool. Nice work :D

I love the clean design and simplicity of the execution. Great job!
