We want to promote some interesting projects built by developers from the Indie Hackers community on our SwissDevJobs Twitter (https://twitter.com/SwissDevJobs) account. ๐ (feel free to follow us)
The rules are as following:
- You are a developer working on a side-project (or full-time project) and have a live, working version (no pre-launch)
- Share the link to the project and write in 2 sentences: what the project is about and what have you used to built it (no-code solutions are also welcome)
- We will write a post about every product shared here in the upcoming days (but also reserve the right to curate the list)
- Share your Twitter account which we can tag and follow SwissDevJobs on Twitter :)
EDIT: Love all your submissions - we will write a post about EVERY cool product (probably it will take a few weeks to write about everyone - please be patient)
https://pingr.io - Uptime monitoring service
Laravel & VueJS
https://twitter.com/vponamariov
@Akcium - this interesting and I get the concept. A question I have is do you offer a plan for just one URL?
Actually I had a plan for 1-2 URLs.
But it turned out that most users have 3-4 sites according to my research. Plus it's often necessary to monitor more than 1 url even if you have 1 site. Like:
or
But in case you need to have 1 monitor and want to try it out, I can prolong trial plan for as long as you need, no problem here

Hi, I'd like to show everyone a video game I'm working on, which is currently in Alpha, but has a demo available. I'm not sure if this counts as "pre-launch" but I decided to share it anyway, feel free to skip if it doesn't count.
"The king is gone" (https://darkdimension.itch.io/the-king-is-gone)
This is a puzzle video game about running away, and opening doors in order to escape. Each door requires a puzzle to be solved to open, and grants a small reward to help make escaping easier.
I created this using a programming language I'm working on, called
avdl
. Behind the scenes it is using C and OpenGL to compile games and display graphics.My twitter account is this: https://twitter.com/darkdimensiongd

Is Steam your main sales channel? How is it performing?
Yes, I chose Steam because that's where the main competitor is being distributed and because that's where gamers hang out. Has done about 2.5k/month since launch in May.
About 75% of the traffic is coming direct from inside Steam, the rest from SEO or YouTube referral. Steam traffic has been slowly declining since launch so I'm working to improve organic search traffic.

Cool initiative guys, by the way Switzerland is an awesome country, lived in Zรผrich area for a year and half. :)
Wow, you app is awesome! Does it also work with hand-written text on pictures?
What did you use to build it?
PS. You are always welcome, Zurich all the way :)
Thanks! That'll depend on your hand-writing ;)
The results will be most accurate with your typical typed black text on white background, but it's pretty robust in handling other background and to some degree handwritten text as well.
It's built using state-of-the-art from earlier this year: Swift, SwiftUI and the text recognition is Apple's Vision API. Being completely native makes it snappy which is nice.
Language support will be expanded when running under Big Sur; swiss users will happily get support for German, French and Italian. ๐ฅณ
This sounds rad :) Iโd like to propose my project Bear Blog https://bearblog.dev
Bear Blog is the most minimal blogging platform ever. No more trackers, ads, and bloated pages. Just no-nonsense, super fast blogging.

Itโs free :) hosting in negligible for text only blogs

How do you compare with GrowBots for example?
thanks @Varqu, I didn't know them so I checked them out
looks to me that they're a platform to send drip campaigns that you have to build yourself. It's cool and there are nifty features, but that's not what we address.
If I were someone building a job board, I'd face two challenges: recruiting users/job seekers (marketing play) and onboarding firms to advertize on my platform (sales play).
Growbots will give you a platform to send emails.
MakeSales does that + infuses the sales science and mindset you need at every step of the way to close deals.
MakeSales is built for founders who don't have a sales background to guide them through their sales efforts so they don't have to rely on anyone to build a repeatable and scalable sales department.
Anyone can send automated emails.
But you need to know what to say in them, that's where the money is.
In this article https://www.indiehackers.com/post/i-analyzed-64-562-cold-emails-sent-over-the-last-2-years-here-s-how-you-should-probably-rewrite-yours-c51503afa8 I shared the do's of sending emails
Within MakeSales, I share the actual sequences (7 of them) in a fill-in-the-blanks approach, so anyone coming from a non-sales background can do serious damage.
And then, we incorporate a CRM feature that's way more intelligent than a CRM. It'll guide you every step of the way to close more deals, suggesting action plans based on where the deal is stuck, acting as a VP Sales As A Service.
Here's the secret for sales: organization, consistency and being human.
Looks like growbots helps you with the consistency part, when MakeSales helps you with all three of them
Let me know if you want to chat ;)
Awesome!

Re:Schedule is an app that brings meeting collaboration into your calendar. It integrates a meeting workspace into your calendar events so that you can plan an agenda, take notes, assign action items, and more.

@Varqu Maybe someday but no monetization plans for now. Right now, I am focusing exclusively on making something people find useful and growing the user base.
Very cool :) I'm working on QuickChart, an API that generates chart images. It's useful for including charts in static formats such as email, SMS, PDF, etc.
It's open source and written in Node/Javascript.
Nice, I like it!
Hey - thanks! Great initiative.
I run Nocodify.com, a platform to enable prospective founders/entrepreneurs to build web apps without code. We work closely (many times 1-on-1) with people to make their app dreams come true, all without any coding knowledge needed!

I used bubble.io, exactly what we teach!
Using no-code tools to build no-code tools? Inception :)
