Ever have so many side projects that you can't keep track of them all? That was me.
I had websites and side projects scattered across the internet with no way for people to connect the dots between them.
The problem: When someone discovers one of my projects, they have no idea I made other cool stuff too that they would love to use.
I spent months thinking about this - should I rebuild my portfolio? Add footer links? Custom code each site? All of those solutions seemed like unnecessary work.
So yesterday I decided to solve it by vibing with code editors because I had already created a snippet like this a few months ago ;)
I created Maker.Cards - it's literally just a tiny badge that sits in the corner of your projects showing that you made it, with links to your other work. It took me less than 24 hours from buying the domain to having it live.The cool part is you don't even need to know how to code.

You just enter the required details, grab an embed code, and paste it into your projects. The badge is minimal and non-intrusive but gives anyone who's curious a way to discover you as a maker.
I built this 100% for myself, but figured other creators here might find it useful too. It's free to use (with scope to monetize later) so just sharing with the community.
If you're a serial project starter like me, check it out at Maker.Cards and let me know what you think! I'd love to hear your feedback or feature ideas.
TL;DR: Made a simple tool to create embeddable "maker badges" so people who find one of your projects can discover all your other work too and connect with you.
Don't make a lot of projects but I can definitely see the uses for this. Well done!
this is something that I would use , crazy how simple yet innovative it is. as a dev would have never thought in years oof building something like that
This is really cool! Should definitely get more attention.
To be fair, not something I'd personally pay for (and not sure who would) but a great business-card product.
Great job going from idea to execution so quickly.
Hey, thanks for checking out.
If this is being referred as business/digital card product then it means I am doing something wrong. ;)
If you have to pay let's say even a few dollars, what features would convince you to pay?
I'd agree with @benjaminboman. IMO it's such a "small" product I couldn't justify paying for it.
As for a few features...Maybe tracking and analytics, small contact form, email signature, linktree type page, etc...
Also haven't seen your website yet maybe you already have some of these already 😬
That's actually a really good angle - linktree for indiehackers. I could see that being something people pay for (same pricing as linktree)
This looks great to show people what you've built!
Absolutely, that's the goal.
Great too fast
Looks great! I get a full blank page on Android/Chrome and can't see anything. Great job!
Hey, did you get a chance to check out on desktop/laptop?
This works only on large screens, so on mobile screens we just show asking you to visit on desk/laptop for best experience. Could have been a temporary issue, can you refresh and try on your phone?
