I made a website that allows you to easily share your work and progress online. What do you think?

With experience of building a product as an Indie Hacker, I recognise the challenges of taking your first step into building a following online.

For me, I always found talking about what I was doing on a large scale to be daunting, and I was constantly worried that I would embarrass myself by coming across as inexperienced. This was particularly frustrating as I could see the real benefits other individuals were getting from building in public.

That’s why I made a website to capture what you are working on, your lessons learned, key stats and much more. The site lets you share updates directly to social media and by email quickly and easily with templates to get you going.

I would love to get your thoughts on whether this would be of value to you. We are currently running a private beta, and so do let me know if you would like to be a part of that.

    Interesting idea, what is the difference between this and just writing a blog on your own website and getting all the SEO benefits from it?
    Also, noticed your HP not optimised for my mobile (Samsung). 😁

      Thanks @StuCole - it has been designed to be quicker and easier to update as opposed to a personal website, with the suggested framework meaning you can make updates in a few minutes. That being said, if you have a successful personal website with lots of visitors, then this is probably not a product for you.

        How do you compete with the proven traffic on other channels?

      Thanks @Primer - we spoke to a number of early stage founders who were looking to start building in public, or looking to improve how they currently build in public. The product has been built to service these needs, but could also be applicable for other non-technical individuals looking to showcase their work or share updates in the open.
