Not just another blog...
Hey indie hackers! I have been working on a project where I highlight successful indie hacker case studies. However, I didn't want to tell the stories in a typical blog post. So I took a different sort of route. It would mean the world to me if you could check out my site here (ignore the ugly landing page) and let me know what you think. Should I continue working on this project? Do you think people would want to read content like this? Any feedback would be amazing!
If you do think this is a good project, let me know who I should do my next indie hacker case study on!
That was fun! I just went through your first post and enjoyed it.
Here's some feedback that I have:
That is great feedback! I hadn't considered the "sales-y" vibe (since I'm not selling anything) but that makes total sense! And I agree on the back to homepage button, I'll work on getting that in my next post.
Happy to help! I was curious, did you incorporate a new company with each small tool that you started selling? Or did you use an umbrella company to house them all? (Or something else)? I've been looking to start building small tools/bets like that and I've been stumped by this.
So that actually isn't me. I was just doing a case study on that guy. His name is Ben Stokes and I highly recommend reading his blog if you are interested: https://tinyprojects.dev/ I don't think he has an umbrella company, I think he just builds separate little projects.
Ohhh I misinterpreted. Now I see why it was written in the 3rd person - because it's about someone else 🤦♂️. My bad. Thanks for linking to his blog!
Hi!
I think this is a great idea!
I know you're still working on this. I found the slide-deck navigation difficult to use. Images were cut off where I couldn't read them and the Next button was hard to find (poor contrast/small size).
I'd recommend going for a more traditional (and more SEO friendly!) blog and articles setup.
Don't give up!
Thanks for the feedback!!
