Yesterday I discovered wireframe.cc - a beautifully executed web app for making wireframe mockups. I've been researching and it appears to have been released in 2012, well before this community existed. Yet it seems to espouse some of the ideals of Indie Hackers of simple well executed SaaS. There is a Twitter marketing account but they haven't had to use it much as it looks like the Product Hunt went well and it was picked up by a bunch of press outlets after that. I guess it must be making some profit because it is still around 7 years later.
There is so much I love about this:
Does anybody know anything about this site and who created it? This is the exact kind of stuff I aspire to build. I really want to know if they bootstrapped and how they built it and how the model is working for them.
Didn't know this gem either, thanks for bringing this up. I love the clean, minimal and unobtrusive appeal. It seems to be quite popular judging from the number of mentions and backlinks it has generated over the years!
Two years ago I tried something similar with a tool I built (botpreview.com) but I failed to execute consistently when other matters required my attention – now it's lying dormant and I am not sure what to do with it.
Oh, it does not have a Common Lisp backend => only an almost perfect indie hack :o
Love, that they only open an email as contact.
Ha ha. Are you honestly running Common Lisp on the a server? That is amazing if so.
The email one is interesting. I think Gmail desktop users find it frustrating because those links go nowhere. Wonder what percent of people that is true for.
No, of course not. I am not Paul Graham. As I would like to use CL or Clojure, I opted for Python because there is more documentation out there and the ecosystem is bigger.
For my current project I don't use any server, I just communicate with the Google Drive Api.
Regarding the mails: In chromium gmail open automatically if I click on the contact link.
Ha ha. Cool.
