I spent months posting on X and felt invisible. Pods/F4F/trains juiced numbers but killed real conversations. So I teamed up with other underdogs (dev/design/indie SaaS) and tested a simple, manual rhythm that actually felt good:
Pick your platforms, share one great post on days you’re active
Support authentically → like/comment → follow back only if it clicks
That became LiftLoop — a people-powered discovery club with opt-in follow-backs (no bots, no quotas).
MVP: profile cards, manual review-and-decide queue, Underdog Spotlight, clear guidelines.
Be blunt:
Does onboarding feel safe but fast?
Does the follow-back queue avoid reciprocity pressure?
Try it (no gimmicks): https://liftloop.online
If you leave feedback, I’ll return the favor on your project.
Hey man, I really like the idea of your project, it can really feel frustrating trying to promote your project and feeling invisible. I created an account for your platform and have a couple notes:
First, when creating an account I would really recommend adding a confirm password field, it feels odd not having one there (and to your point, a little unsafe).
Second, I'm a little confused with the home page, as it seems empty except for some "loading" text. It hasn't loaded anything, so I am unsure what is supposed to appear there. If it is supposed to be creator posts shared through your platform, I would seed it with some that you yourself have made or something so that it doesn't appear empty.
Third, I don't exactly understand the "Queue" section of the product. I feel like on your landing page if you could add a short demo video explaining how it works and what each section does that could be a great value add, as after signing up I am a little lost.
I unfortunately don't really post on social media so I wasn't able to try out your submit functionality, but I do think that the form itsself is very clear cut and easy to understand!
Overall I think it is a good concept that could do well if you can get an initial userbase, but making some aspects easier to understand might make getting those first users faster!
I am also considering a project that would increase visibility/feedback for early stage startups, I've only made a small post about it a minute ago but would appreciate your thoughts on that if you have the time!
Hey! 🙌 Thanks a ton for taking the time to try it and write this up—super helpful.
Confirm password
Great call. I’ll add a confirm-password field so signup feels safer, and tighten up a few UX details there.
Empty homepage / stuck on “loading”
I’ve seeded a few submissions. If you still don’t see posts, it’s likely a session bug—could you share which browser you’re on and any console errors? I’ll fix it right away.
“Queue” — what it is
The Queue is your opt-in discovery list: when people share their profile/post, they appear in your queue so you can review one by one—open their best post, like/comment if it resonates, and optionally follow. No bots, no trains—just manual, authentic support.
I’ll also add a 60-second demo on the landing page walking through Home → Submit → Queue so it’s clearer at a glance.
Really appreciate the note on the submit form being clear—that’s exactly the vibe I’m going for.
Also, your idea to boost visibility/feedback for early-stage startups sounds right up my alley. Drop a link or a couple of lines and I’ll share thoughts (happy to be an early tester too).
Thanks again for the thoughtful feedback—this helps me ship the right things. 🚀
Hmm I'm using Google Chrome, I checked but I am not getting any console or network errors. The only endpoints I am seeing being called are home and me but both of those are returning with 200s, so not sure what's going on there
For sure it was my pleasure and I like your product concept! Right now I've just made this post about it but would really appreciate your feedback: https://www.indiehackers.com/post/thinking-about-hosting-a-founder-clash-competition-a128602c85
I'll check your site again to see if any session bugs are popping up and let you know
