This how I collected 15,000 indie hackers profiles by mistake
Recently, I built a side project for fun called Indie Hackers Of The Year to promote an app by engaging a targeted audience. The project works as a game, you can either like or pass on the next indie hacker to vote for your favorite indie hacker. The game showcases 10 indie hackers, ranging from well-known indies to friends. But, what I overlooked was that it gets the indie hackers' graphs from their closest circles. As soon as, indies were inviting their friends, friends' friends, it ended up to 15,000 indies from big to small indie ones.

Thanks in advance!
Awesome idea Fausto! Let's vote there =)
thanks man for your feedback :)
IH Should Acquire It.
Well not a bad idea.
Cool idea, but users should be able to click on a name or image and get their profile to see what they're working on.
I loved your feedback. it would be pretty cool beside it's not the intention of game, but it took so much indie hackers on the graph that I'm looking for something else with it.
Actually it's a silly game to vote or pass, i built as a side project to promote another project, since it scaled to +15,000 indies maybe I can build a cool project on top of it.
I think to get indies know about what others are working on would need their input first, unless redirect to twitter/x which or just type the name/handle on twitter/x.
Thanks for your feedback :)
