    My goal is to reach 10K users for my browser extension which is still in development. The idea is simple, highlight text and generate urls based on the selected text. Wish me luck!

    1. 1

      Sounds cool @ehbgamer, will this be different from this feature in Chrome (e.g. cross-browser)? https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/10256233?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop

      1. 2

        What I am working on is different:
        1- setup a url with a placeholder value
        2- select text from the current page
        3- right click and select the extension option to open the url after replacing the placeholder with the selected text.
        Example: use it to open Google translate page to translate the selected text .

        1. 1

          Aaah now I got it. That sounds even more useful, cool idea!

    2. 1

      Wish you loads of luck!

    👉 Create a Course and Publish.
    👉 Publish at least 100 tutorial articles on Web Design, Web development, and WordPress combined.

    1. 1

      Would be smashing that upvote button for your product on PH!

      LMK when you launch. I love webdev too.

      1. 2

        Haha.. PH upvote is always aspected though 😃

    Start blogging on my personal website. Been trying to do it for a very long time😥

    1. 1

      This time, you would do it perfectly @Ayeshaa !
      LMK if you need any help. Traffic on my site has been taking off steadily this month ✈️

        I love getting involved with SEO, user intent and quality content.

        I enjoy the whole process of dropping a content piece , optimizing and seeing it ranking on Google to drive traffic.

  4. 4

    Take my current startup from 170k ARR to over 350k ARR. This requires building the team out and finding more efficiencies in our marketing funnels.

    I am starting to share all the 'behind the scenes' of this process on my site https://kyleplatt.com/

    1. 2

      Would love to see your startup rising, @KylePlatt !

        Cant believe I missed that, thanks!

    Simple: getting my product released!

    Currently developing an AI API that allows devs to access AI models on the cloud via API, and getting AWS stuff set up the past few weeks has been a slow and arduous process.

    You can check more of it out here: https://twitter.com/TheRealEtch

    So here's to hoping for a more productive new year!

    What do you want to achieve in 2023, @Arz?

    1. 1

      Goodluck for your product release @RichardGao!

      My aim -> 1. Adding value to budding founders & IndieHackers

      1. Building my product for y'all
      1. 1

        Good luck for your product as well!

  6. 3

    Stop trading time for money.

  7. 3

    At least: keep working on my projects and keep releasing them
    Would be nice: get my first paying customer
    Would be better: get enough paying customers to cover my costs
    Would be best: get enough paying customers to work less for my current job and start investing more time in my projects
    Mind=exploded: get enough customers to work on my stuff full time

  8. 3

    Staying consistent.

    This is one of the missing parts of my life so far. I think I'm now more consistent than past.

    1. 1

      Definitely @ozenc consistency is the key!

  9. 3

    I want to be happy.

    1. 1

      One of the best goals Yusuf ;)

  10. 2

    Starting my own SaaS app!

  11. 2

    In 2023, I want to achieve financial independence through the success of my online business.

  12. 2

    In 2023 I want my community for Indie Hackers to reach 1000 members!

  13. 2

    Finally release a pricing plan for Sidekick and earn our first paid customer!

  14. 2

    Simple - educate people about the power of the calendar within their marketing. It's the red-headed stepchild compared to email marketing. I have to educate around a simple concept ... "Get It On The Calendar First" (it being any time-based marketing event). I have the technical infrastructure completed and fully tested, the service has worked for over 3 years without a major problem, it will scale (built on AWS and we have sent thousands of invites for a single event).

    So, 2023 is really about education. I have a few ideas, but suggestions from this independently thinking group is always welcome.

  15. 2

    make those things that are actually real priorities in life finally be prioritised in my daily decisions of all kinds

  16. 2

    To begin with, I have several goals for 2023. One of these goals is to launch a new SaaS project, an accounting automation tool for freelancers and small IT startups based in Armenia. I have conducted market research and received positive feedback, so I am hopeful for its success. I am excited for the opportunities and challenges that 2023 will bring, and I am determined to make the most of it. Wish you all the best!

    1. 1

      What a number to achieve) best of luck!

  17. 2

    I want to achieve $10k a month free cashflow for fastmonitor.io - we monitor how fast your website and apis are, and give you an actionable dashboard to make them faster!

    We recommend building a site-speed and reliability culture within your organization by integrating this monitoring into your weekly Friday team demo meetings.

    I would also like to grow a consulting and referral business around fast monitor to help startups achieve better site speed and reliability.

    I started fastmonitor in mid November and have signed up $365 in subscriptions, pre-product.

  18. 2

    Reach $1000 with Text2SQL.AI (from $0), launch another Micro Service (send notifications from code), and work on at least 3 other bigger ideas!

    1. 1

      Very inspired by reading your goal @GarryMe!

  19. 2

    Build Clientside.dev into the #1 place to train frontend skills - it's getting some solid traction atm but I need to build out a lot of content for the website to make the resource invaluable

    1. 1

      I love doing frontend. Would definitely give clientside.dev a try Yusuf!

    2. 1

      Really nice page and concept, good luck!

  20. 2

    Passive income from an online business that pays more than my current full time job 👍

    1. 1

      Nice! Would like to know what kind of online business Elijah?

  21. 1

    Just started a new platform for generating random credit card numbers of payments testing in ecommerce application - https://creditcardgenerator.app/

    Our goal is to make it as big as at least 50K people use it on monthly basis. Wish me luck! :)

    1. 1

      This does has a lot of potential!

      I'm just curious to discuss potential ways of generating leads for it.

      A very good luck :)

  22. 1

    Launch my product and get my first customer.

  23. 1

    This question actually resonates with me.

    I have three side projects in a "nearly complete" state.

    One is online, and it's a free tool, but it's not getting any organic traffic yet, which I want to change to let's say 1k/mo visitors from organic search.

    The other two's are saas products which need a bit more polishing before going live. I would like to finish those two and get the first paying customer for both.

  24. 1

    My goal is take my 3rd startup Engagespot.co to reach $100K MRR by mid 2023. (We are getting some good initial traction now, hopefully we can achieve the goal).
    Be an expert in product-led growth marketing strategies especially targeting developer communities.
    Share all the new hacks/loops I tested to reach my goal, back to the community.
    Hope

  25. 1

    Get stronger with heavy weightlifting!

  26. 1

    To get my sh*t together and push thru all the noise to get my SaaS up and running

    1. 1

      Looking for a technical person to work on an idea or 2. How is your stuff going?

  27. 1

    Starting #16in12 challenge, planning to launch 16 products (or more like experiments) in 2023, and building them on public.

    Wish me luck.

  28. 1
    1. More clients. Getting https://golaunchclub.com/ finished and ready to hit the market.
    1. 1

      Great Jake!

      Very curious, How golaunchclub would be different from Product Hunt?

      1. 1

        Well Product Hunt is a place to show off your new product. Launch Club is a private club.
        Have you ever seen the facebook groups or subreddits for people to post their product hunt launch and beg for upvotes and comments? They never work because people only touch those communities when they are launching and never actually help others out. Launch Club is a guaranteed way of getting promotion on launches.

        It's An “engagement group” where real people will deliver likes, favorites, retweets, upvotes etc. on your Twitter, Reddit, LinkedIn, Product Hunt and other democratic controlled platforms.
        Super close to opening it up for people to be in!

  29. 1

    Get to $36,400k annual revenue.

  30. 1

    My goal in 2023 is to get real users for our mobile subscription analytics tool!

  31. 1

    By 2023 I know our app will become the next unicorn. (not exactly a goal, more of an intuition)

  32. 1

    My goal for 2023 is to make ERA profitable enough to quit my job and focus completely on my passion.

    If you want to support me, please sign up for ERA beta. You will receive a nice voucher for the full release as soon as it arrives.

  33. 1

    Became a better game designer. I am a web developer, but I always felt intrigued about the magic circle that gets created when you play a good game. Be that a board game, video game or physical one like playing with your kids.

    I only have one game live with little traction (www.pirmyd.com) so I guess I still have much to learn :). For 2023 I will not get discouraged and I will publish at least one more word game :strong:

    Oh, and learn how to use chopsticks

  34. 1

    My goal is to help 1000 SaaS & Membership businesses to reduce their customer churn rate and grow their business with the help of Churnfree in 2023.

    We believe on it "you will grow with the customer's growth result"

    You may aware that most of the membership or SaaS businesses face high customer churn and 60% of businesses fail due to this common reason. We worked on it and developed a tool to help them in reduction of high customer churn rate and increase their customer LTV.

    You can check out this for free and see how our tool can help you in your growth: churnfree.com

    We want to help 1000 Tech Founders get to the next stage with the help of 16,895 strong free talent pool on https://skilledup.life. Once leveraged well, there is nothing you could not achieve as Indie Hackers with the help of our talent.

    As we help self funded tech founders and their tech startups to succeed, those who are not able to create jobs due to lack of finance today will start to create jobs, as a direct result of the help provided by our free talent pool, just as we have demonstrated recently.

    It's a Win Win for all involved.

    • Indie Hackers, Tech Founders and tech startups: become stronger businesses
    • Our talent - gets the experience to get their next job including career transition
    • Us - we get to help more people and self funded tech companies.
