Welcome, introduce yourself! (Week of Feb 16th)

I'm a software engineer who started a company year ago to develop SAAS to be able to work from home. So far, I had trouble motivating myself so I'm not too far along me project. I currently work as technical support so I can pay the bills and this is a demanding job leaving me to tired too have motivation left at night to program my SAAS.
Recently, I had a different idea for a product in electronics, which field I'm new to, and looking for seed funding so I could pursue this further and maybe employ some smart people to help me.

Hi everyone! I'm a full stack software engineer from Los Angeles. I've been working professionally for over a decade now :) For the past two years, my wife and I have been dreaming of taking a sabbatical and working on our own products, and this is the year we are going to do it. We are thinking of putting our stuff into storage, traveling and living in countries where the cost of living is much cheaper while we build our product. Exciting to be here, it would be great to connect with like minded indie hackers!

Hey everyone, Farid here. I’m the owner of Updrift UX design agency and am looking to transition into software.

Hey, I am Mouaad, a Computer Science student. I joined this community to keep improving my skills in programming and trying to build an online project.

Hello Everyone! I'm a Digital Designer/Frontend Developer from Sweden. I'm currently trying to build a website creator that builds gatsby sites with the information taken from a conversational UI instead of a visual one. I will try out to the prototype with a customer in the next couple of weeks, so I'm quite nervous. Besides that I'm freelancing, mostly making websites for small-medium sized companies.

Hi everyone, I'm Xiang, a telecom software engineer from China.
I learnt this community from many interviews. Thank you for sharing those great resources. I hope I can start my own work soon and become one of you :)

hey folks!

honestly, i've been a "silent" fan (and follower) of Rosie for a while and she's really the "draw" here... i mean, shit... @rosiesherry just "gets community"!

anyways...

i'm an entrepreneur (solo-founder after having a tough split with cofounders... more details on that later perhaps!) who just pivoted his venture-backed startup for the 3rd time (long-read here... if you're bored: http://blog.yen.io/yen30/)!

we're just in the beginning stages of building out our product and our community as well! it's a very exciting time for us as we're still exploring the early-stages of customer discovery, validation, and creating tight feedback cycles.

shit, we're rebooting everything practically!

this isn't my first rodeo, as they say, and i've built 4 other venture-backed companies... two of which experienced some fun outcomes... but, i have still a ton to learn... and being uncomfortable is one of my favorite-not-favorite things to do... if that makes sense.

but, my REAL favorite "wins" were the smaller indie side projects that made some decent revenue at certain points in time.

for instance, i had a macOS app that won "Best Apps of the Year" award from Apple in 2014 and 2015 and it was making a little over $1k per day! that was fun.

truth be told... i'm a bit more of an "indie hacker" than professional startup person. i've always been that way and i can't imagine i'll change out of it at this point... i'm 37, married with 3 kids...a teenager too! i'm too old (i feel super old).

i love sharing what i know. i open source most of what i do to the public, from an open source handbook for my company ( https://github.com/yenio/handbook ) to a daily vlog on youtube where i even go as far as sharing how much money we have in the bank (and writing my monthly update to my investors!): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWWhh7IoSBk

(right now, we have a little over $1.1m from our ~$4.1m raised... yes, we've burned a lot of it just in product discovery and RnD... fuuuuuckkkkkkkk!)

i hope i can share some of my experiences with all of you! i have a lot to give and you can hit me up anytime... i'm hanging out mostly on twitter... so, feel free to slide into those DMs like what.

Hi, I'm a backend developer using the dotNet stack from Nigeria. Joining this community to connect with people to get more insights, develop and grow within the tech space.

Hey guys - Longtime listener (IH Podcast) first time poster. Trying to build a couple side projects as an MVP...

currently without code...and looking for some help.

Hello. I'm Roccio, from Mexico, and I joined because I want to build my side SaaS business and travel.

Hello everyone. I joined this community to learn from like minded people. I am employed full time in the corporate sector and actively seeking a way to build something profitable so that I can work for myself and become more financially secure. I am not a programmer like many of you here but I have build sites on WP and fairly advanced in tech. Many of my projects are still in the planning phase.

Hey friends! I'm a hybrid creative / developer. I run a YouTube channel about software development, been a front end dev for three years, freelance as a motion graphics artist and am now transitioning into IOS dev with a view to create some wicked AR experiences. I might even try make a video game this year, who knows!

I'm hoping to build out a series of apps / digital products to ensure i'm financially solid, while also documenting as much of the process on my channel. End goal is to have enough streams of revenue I can focus on building and creating as I see fit. Thrilled to be here :D

Hi, I am a software engineer and an amazon seller. I am trying to build my own cosmetics brand and let the world know and use it.

Hiya! Kelley here from Northern California. 1 hour from everywhere interesting (San Francisco, Silicon Valley, Reno, Nv...well, a couple of hours from there, Fresno, Sacramento).

I'm a self-taught front-end developer who's trying to figure out a niche. I've not worked professionally yet, as I'm kinda in "tutorial hell", but also because imposter syndrome is so difficult to overcome. ☹️

I've always been an "idea" kinda gal, but am easily distracted by the next idea that I come up with.

I'm looking to get and stay focused. I want to be able to take one of my many ideas and make them tangible. I'm also a helper. I'd like to assist someone in some capacity with their idea/project.

Howdy y'all! I'm glad to be here for myself, and the community.
😁

Hi, All. I'm a software developer from the Midwest looking to develop a SAAS to transition into working remotely hopefully abroad. Also, looking to improve myself by learning some new skills.

Hey Everyone!! Tara here. I’ve spent my career in Health IT and all facets of health care, HHS, ultimately consulting with Government to modernize Health and Human Services (HHS) legacy systems and improve patients access to services and supports; develop case management systems; the Healthcare exchange, implement waiver programs, fraud and abuse, and a slew of other things. My career took a turn 3 years ago when I was diagnosed with my first of three rare disease diagnosis’. I’m also still awaiting another diagnosis that doctors know I have (they labeled it a generic metabolic disease) but can’t seem to pinpoint exactly which metabolic disease it is. Both my professional and personal experiences have given me a very unique lens into healthcare and the gaps within the system, as well as knowing ways to fix and improve these gaps. I’m hoping to find others also interested in the Health IT, healthcare space to partner with, where I can use my experience, knowledge, and creativity to help fix the broken system in hopes that others can have a better experience. Tech is finally getting more involved in the health space but things aren’t happening quick enough. EHR, PHR, EMRs are lacking functionality and are antiquated. Both patients and providers are suffering and it’s getting worse, not better. Other industries have had the functionality that we need in the Health sector for years!!!! Let’s just use one app for exp. StyleSeat is an app in the Beauty industry where I can go to search for a beautician based on availability, type of service, price, location, quality (reviews) but if I need a medical procedure or need to see a neurologist or neurosurgeon, good luck. And that’s just one example of functionality in other industries that we need in healthcare. I can’t imagine how challenging it is for someone without any knowledge in the healthcare sector because I’ve struggled tremendously and I spent my entire career in this field.

Hey Rosie nice to meet you! Excited to be here!

Hey I'm Luis from Mexico, to be honest I want to learn from other people to become a better programmer because I feel like I dont know much...

Hello everyone. I am Navin. Have been working on https://buildastack.com for a while. Now that it is close to launch, I want to make sure it reaches a large number of people. It is free, helps people choose software for their business stack and has been built with NoCode.

Oh.. and I am big proponent of no/low code. For me, anything that provides an API is a nocode tool. Not just visual coding tools like Bubble.

Love Makers. If you are one and need help, pm/dm me.

Hello, my name is Greg. Still thinking what I want to do or contribute. Working on a startup idea for the past two years, made no progress on it but on the flip side no one, amazingly, has come in with the idea so far and I think it could be really special. I'm a DevOps engineer by day, bit of Golang and lots of back end infrastructure experience for, oh, about 30 years now. Not many hairs left, but still there's room to take on some more risks if I can push idea into action. Love what this site is about, excited to join!

Hi, my name is John. Working out my career experience into a new product and diving into data science.

Hello,
I go by washedDeveloper. It’s kinda a funny name but I’m really into sneakers and reselling. I’m currently developing a bot to automate the purchasing of limited or exclusive sneakers from Shopify based sites. I almost always do backend/algorithmic work. I plan to expand into frontend work so I can link my bot to a electron/react frontend. But as for now I am purely focused on making the bot from the backend point of view. Most of work is done in NodeJS or Python. As for the bot I am using exclusively NodeJS. If you want to reach out and chat please message me. You can add me on Discord at washedDeveloper#6412 and follow my Twitter at @washedDeveloper.

Hi everyone.
My name is Rishab. I am a full-stack software developer who has been pondering on the idea of having a startup since I was a kid. Although I had only 2 ideas that I think could make a difference, I have been keeping myself busy with umbrella, that I still need to learn more before proceeding. Looking forward to learn to e-meet you all, learn from your experiences, and push through my limits, and build something truly meaningful for the community.

Hi all...my name is chungu. Am interested in cybersecurity and machine learning with a goal of creating my first online course in 2020. I look forward to being of value to the community.

Hi all! I'm Drew. I lurk quite a bit on r/startups so I'll try not to do the same here. I'm from the "Founder/Have an Idea but Don't Know How to Code" cohort of founders, but have since taught myself to code and can help others that may be in that same situation. Also doing things relating to news. If you read this and don't reply, nice to digitally meet you nonetheless!

Hi I'm Kevin. French. Digital Nomad. Dog Trainer. Website Editor turned Dot Businesses Broker. Looking to connect with fellow makers, nomads & maybe future buyers / sellers! Looking forward to connecting with you!

hi

Hi all, I happen to be a self-taught developer from Nigeria. I enjoy doing server side more, probably because I am not good with colors, at least so I think. that does not mean I don't do front-end tho. I am just partial about back-end. Lol

I'll be glad if I could be shown around.

Call me Goddy. Do have a great day.

Hi , I am a Construction Technologist by day (full-time job) and entrepreneur (my long term goal) by night looking to connect with technical people to collaborate on few of my startup ideas in progress focusing in influencer marketing and travel space.

Hello everyone! I'm a support agent/software developer from the Midwest. I'm here to build some side projects in the digital art space. I'm not much of an artist myself, but want to help in the creative process somehow.

Hey everybody! I'm a dev who just co-founded his first business / project with three other partners. We're all looking to bootstrap something as a learning experience, the chance to apply our skill, and the ability to really own something, a dream goal being that maybe eventually one or two of us can quit our jobs and work on it full-time.

I am an entrepreneurship student living in Barcelona but originally from Austria.

I will graduate later this year and I am currently thinking about what I should do after. I definitely want to found my own startup sooner or later but I am still looking for an exciting opportunity to do so. In the meantime, the plan would be to join an early stage startup in order to gain some work experience and to learn more about whats out there.

I'm a software engineer who has procrastinated on building a product for a couple years. I felt technically incapable a couple years ago, but that has changed recently. I'm deciding to spend more time in this community to build up my motivation to the point where I will dedicate hours of my time each day to working on a product.

My product idea is for an API-first BI tool. Most BI tools like Tableau assume you have a RDBMS to connect to, and that everything is relatively denormalized and organized. APIs are not this way at all, and I think performing ad hoc analytics on them is difficult.

This idea has some technical challenges, and I'm not sure it even has a market. I don't fully understand how to validate a market idea like this, which is why I've been so hesitant. Still, I feel like the idea CAN work, if executed properly (isn't that every idea)?

I am full stack developer enuthaistic in product development which can reach the global market with a limited set of audiences

Hello everyone! My name is Michael, I'm a Front-End Web Developer from Tampa, FL. I'm a self-taught web developer that has been working in the field for 4 years now. Most of my learning has come from Online tutorials from YouTube, Codecademy, FreeCodeCamp, Udemy, and more. My skills are basic HTML, CSS, and Javascript. Since I work for a small marketing company I have to do a wide range of tasks. I spend most of my time doing web updates, hosting maintenance, new web builds, deployment, and SEO.

I'd like to improve my skills in the Front-End by learning more about front-end frameworks like React. My projects at work are really simple websites and we just use WordPress for everything. So most of the time I'm using plugins instead of coding any javascript.

I have a few ideas for projects but nothing that I'm currently working on. I've joined Indie hackers to get involved in the start-up community and learn how to start turning my ideas into reality.

If you are in the Tampa Bay area and would like to network feel free to send me a message!

Hi - I've been working in the tech industry for 20 years - building, leading and managing teams delivering software and hardware products and platforms. 4 years ago i started a side project and I was laid off in October and decided to try to turn my side project into something more . While I have a lot of experience with building and delivering software, the marketing/social/business side of building a community of engaged online users is new to me. Hoping to learn and grow from this community.

Hi all! 👋 I'm Joe, a digital nomad who loves to play board games.

Traveling full-time makes it hard to find places to play my favorite board games. It always starts with a simple Google search and before you know it you have seven Facebook tabs open trying to figure out which events are actually going to happen!

So I built weTabletop.com to help players find local tabletop, card, and board game events. I launched a few months ago and have grown traffic to 10,000 monthly players!

February has been focused on making it a real business. I still haven't closed my first sale but I think I am very close. One week countdown here we go!

I'm looking forward to making new connections across skillsets and learning everything I can on how to run a successful startup. 😁

Hi everyone, I'm currently a product manager for a two-sided online marketplace in Asia. Before the product role, I worked in professional services for a SaaS company for a few years and have a strong programming background back to the 90s. Programming is one of my hobbies.

Like most of the indie hackers, I have 2 entrepreneurship journeys in the past. In the first journey, I built an online course marketplace where I was the sole member of the business, I developed and launched the product, developed clients and user awareness via SEO. I managed to attract over 200 schools joining and obtained 10K visits a day. However, I didn't realize the benefit of bringing co-founders and investors until my saving burned out before seeing the breakeven day. That's my first lesson learned.

In my second journey, I joined a team of 3 to build a fintech startup. This time we managed to obtain pre-seed funding and launched our payment product in the UK and Asia, and generating revenue. However, the big boss (CEO) established unconvincing company strategies result in a massive exit of co-founders including myself. So my lesson learned is that unaligned partners could kill a good product.

So now I'm more interested in starting small, profitable side-projects and would be happy to meet people alike in this community.

Hi everyone, I come from an IT operations and systems engineering background. I currently work in a senior engineering role in financial services. I'm originally from Estonia but been based in Sydney, Australia for the past 6+ years.

Early last year I stumbled upon Harvard's CS50 course on edX. That sparked in me a new-found interest in coding, particularly web development. I'm still a long way from being able to code up something great but am slowly making progress week by week.

I discovered Indie Hackers a couple of months ago and fell in love with the idea. I don't have any concrete ideas that I would like to work on as of yet but I've been binge listening the podcast and feel like I should definitely hang around here for inspiration :)

Great to be here. Rosie all the best to you

Hello, I'm Justin. Currently a CS student and full time construction inspector. With work and school taking up all my time, I have very little time to code unless it's between semesters. I've taken 2 C++ classes and have learned a little Swift on my own. I really enjoy building these small programs and apps. Hoping to make a career out of it soon!

Hi everyone. I'm Michał from Warsaw, Poland working as a software engineer full time. As my side project I'm working on a tool to detecting moved blocks of code on GitHub pull requests so that it will be easy to see the some parts of code were moved from one place to another. I already have working prototype which I hope to show you shortly.

Hi, I'm Tar. I am a product designer working on validating a few ideas I've had over the years to decide on which ones to commit to. I hope to learn a lot from this community as opposed to working in isolation and shooting in the dark.
Glad to be in good company.

Hi Everyone! I am a PHP developer from the UK. My goal is to escape the 9 - 5, become my own boss and spend more time with my daughter. My skills sit mostly in Web Development but I would like to try and motivate myself more to look into marketing / strategy. Having the skills to build something awesome won't mean anything if no one knows about it.

Hello everybody!

I'm a self-taught (Swedish) full-stack programmer who entered the world of Game-Development almost by accident, now having 3 pc games up and running on steam. I recently decided to start some new side projects, mainly focused on the game development market, for example we already have a anti-cheat engine and a game oriented support system, but I think there is a lot I could learn on starting new services and/or improving my methods on my current projects.

I thought this community might inspire me, and hopefully I might inspire someone in the future with a post of some kind. Also, I believe there is potentially a lot of like-minded people here, which is always nice!

Greetings from Sweden,

Fred

Hey, I'm Delano

I'm an illustrator/art director based in Jamaica. My background in design is mostly print oriented and I'm making my way into more digital work.

I've several years of experience creating branding, advertising and such, but I'm more interested now in creating my own product, digital or otherwise. I'm drawn to creating a product that involves education/self-improvement/gaining high-performance - as these are traits I desire to curate in myself, and am enthused to witness them in other people.

As such, I've recently started a blog where I discuss brand design, design leadership and brand reviews at thebranditself.com.

That blog came out of my desire to do/learn something different that will get me closer to creating a useful product. Every little step counts, particularly in my case as I'm not a sociable person nor a 'business-mind'. I won't let those attributes stop me, or use them as excuse when I stub my toe.

Apart from my career ambitions, I'm a student in the German language and I enjoy oil painting and writing. I've begun learning to drive as well. Put it off for years because my mind tends to wander, and that makes me less confident behind the wheel. Since starting some personal projects such as my blog, I've developed some more initiative in myself that I'll apply in my drive lessons.

I'm interested in hearing/reading/learning the stories of every who has taken the reigns to improve themselves/careers. I look forward to collaborating/learning from you guys here, and hopefully I can be of some use/inspiration to you as well.

I got a mortgage loan in 2018 through Chase, and in late 2019; I experienced financial hardship and fell behind on my payments. I had months of late payments before I was introduce to this business minded hacker. I’m very grateful to 760PLUS CREDIT SCORE for helping me clear my loans and late payments from my report. I taught it would not be possible for my credit to be fixed within the short period of time agreed on. I want to thank Miss Elizabeth for giving me the information and their contact last month. Write him via: [email protected] or text +1(304) -774 -5902.

Hey everyone! I graduated in 2018 and right after graduation I started a full-time job as an Associate Software Engineer and at the same time, I started pursuing Masters from one of the most reputed institutions in my country. Life is going like a rocket fired from then and now I have one year left at my masters and I am also promoted to Software Engineer.

For two years I am going circles with my job and degree. My degree is in its final parts and now I want to create something that should have a positive impact on at least a proportion of society. I want to do that with the work I do and I am here learn from all of you.

Cheers!

Hi Everyone, my name is Dennis and for the past 20 years or so I've been an Entrepreneur and Product Manager.

I've bought and sold companies, raised capital, been on the other side of that table, managed product teams to build everything from enterprise AI systems to casual games, etc. Essentially I've been selling all my life. :)

About a year ago I got sick and I was out of the running for 11 months. Now I'm back (fit as a fiddle) and I've decided to dedicate the rest of my professional life to my passion: Helping early stage B2B SaaS startups land their first (up to 1000) customers. So my (currently still) side hustle is called hellorevenue.co (website coming soon).

btw, I'm going old school emoji because my mac refuses to respond to ctrl-cmd-space or listen to my emoji keyboard. If you have any idea how to fix it (I've googled and tried a shitton of things), please let me know. \o/

Hello World! 👋

My name is Kelvin and i've been a self taught developer working for marketing companies for 3 years i quit last year in the summer to start my own marketing company because thats what i thought i wanted to do. i guess i was wrong because that business snowballed into nothing. we had one client and i just wasn't passionate about having 100 bosses lol.

Like most of you i want to have freedom, not only financial but creative (to build whatever, whenever, however).

My goal for this year is to launch my own web app that will allow digital professionals with a roadmap/system/framework on how to become healthier by learning how to cook and meal prepping to save money and live a healthier life.

The way that i envision it is that you will be able to learn the basics of cooking and meal prepping while adding proven recipes with video and pictures and instructions on how to cook the meal.

Also it will give you a shopping list and tell you where the best prices are for you and even coupons on how to save the most amount of money.

It will tell you about macros and calories so that you don't have to think about it. If you goal is to lose weight then you will know that you are eating the right amount of calories every single day without sacrifices flavor.

I know it's a lot i'm kinda just free flowing lol, This is my first of many post here.

To wrap it all up i want to create a cooking app to help digital professional increase there health by teaching them how to cook and providing a roadmap/framework for them to start on a solid foundation.

The reason I want to build this scalable business is to leave my corporate job soon.

Joined IH to learn from the vast knowledge of all the members, and perhaps make some friends along the way.

Hi everyone. I'm a software engineer in San Diego. I went corporate five years ago and I feel like I haven't been growing. Or loving my job. Or making an impact.

Hi There! 13+ year IT veteran who became a newbie python developer from Houston, TX. Currently working a full time IT job to pay the bills that's pretty laid back and gives me time to work on side projects and side hustles. I've had lots of side hustles that have either made little money or failed. I do enjoy flipping stuff on the side for that extra cash.

I want to become an expert in Python by building different projects to eventually be able to have a successful SAAS. Becoming a digital nomad that lives life using development and building new impactful tech is one big goal of mine. Not sure yet what industry specifically and what kind of SAAS but my IT experience in different industries has allowed me to see many problems which I think can become opportunities.

Excited to be part of this community.

Joining here to connect with like minded people! My goal is to build web services to allow me and my family to move up North. I know I will achieve this, but I want to achieve this dream before I hit 30. I turn 27 this summer.

I am about to release my first product this year, which is https://walkway.io - which allows people to find nearby places quickly and easily. It is already available with a very limited daily free tier to do searches.

Joined IH community about a few weeks ago first time with a different username, but made some branding changes and now starting again.

Happy to hear each one of your stories and share my own journey as I will reach my dreams and move up North as a self-built entrepreneur.

I am some idea I would like to start, let's see how it goes :)

Hi, i am a software engineer trying to make the lives of people dealing with mental health issues slightly better. I am currently in the process of building a one person online business. The product is a Web Application embedded with an AI conversational assistant which should eventually act in the future as a virtual life coach / therapist. I am almost done building my MVP and hoping to launch by April 1st to test my assumptions, get feedbacks and see if i should pivot or not. Hoping to find a community of like minded people on indiehackers.

I'm a software engineer and startup founder -- formerly Cofounder & CTO at SmartAsset.com and now working on a new startup, FoundersList.com. Getting ready to launch this new startup more broadly, and hoping to create something useful for founders (and budding founders).

Hi,

I'm a software engineer and am kindling a passion for game creation and rekindling my passion for software development by learning new things. I hope to meet people, discuss ideas and help others as best I can with the knowledge I have.

Hey there, my name is Kevin. Right now, I'm building something to help people set up Agreements to protect themselves or their businesses.

I had been screwed over by a Contractor who didn't complete nor transfer his work over despite getting the full payment. I was unable to use available legal channels because they were prohibitively costly and complex for my startup then. Meanwhile, I've heard from freelancer and startup friends who had faced similar situations and like me, they too had no feasible means to seek help for their situations.

I really want to work on tackling the issue of dishonest people screwing others over and getting away with it. Hope it'll helps others too.

Anyway, I was recommended by a friend to get connected here because I want to move away from VC funding model (another story for another time).

I would love to connect with the great community & people here, to help this product grow and fly. Would love to connect for social stuff too - so please reach out either way! :)

Hi everyone New a long time ago i've decided to give up my job as a postman in scotland and move to france to have tour de france just outside my doors. and yes, started to learn coding to afford a cup of coffee and a baguette :D it means that right now i'm freelancing and building my web app in a spare time.

Hi all. Software developer from New Jersey. Came here after hearing an interview with @csallen on the Software Engineering Unlocked podcast. Just hoping to learn more about what's possible.

Hi there!
My name is Christiaan van Eijk. I'm a 22 year old dutch designer/marketer/developer. I have always been very passionate about business, and the way marketing and design can be utilized in a human way to grow that business. I started helping my dad launch his most successful company at the age of 11, and never stopped working since. I have built custom (web)apps, designed websites, run successful digital marketing campaigns, etc.

I feel like I've always been really (REALLY) good at working for someone when it feels like I'm being of serious help, when I can solve a large problem by introducing them to my vision or solution. I'm a quick thinker. But... I really want to build something that can generate income without me having to personally be the guy that customers talk to and expect work from. I want to come up with an idea that has a positive impact for people that want to create a positive impact themselves. Haven't found what that idea should be though...

Currently working under my business: www.ykedigital.nl
Very intruiged about this indie-hackers community, cannot wait to connect with like-minded people over here. Really hope I can be of value to others..

Have a great day everyone!

• Christian Yke

I'm a math guy who fell into the machine learning aspects of automation about a year and half ago. I've been working as an ML engineer and have realized that I do not like working for a company or around somebody else's standards. I want to build a service/product for myself and thought IH would be a great community to get help me with insights and accountability. I am hoping to be able to achieve a level of success where I can supplement my income with my side projects.

Hi, My name is Khalif, I am currently working on startup, I am new to this scene and looking to learn alot from all the people here at indiehackers.

I am an engineer from automotive industry. I would like to share my personal project to people.

Hi everyone! My name is Gil, I'm from Portugal and I'm almost 42 years old, and I have been working with IT and development for almost 20 years.
A few years ago, I started a SaaS project on my own that became too big for a solo, and takes me a lot of my time and effort.
I’m still working for a technology company, but it’s changing the business model to the field I don’t really like, and I’m also spending a lot of my time, sometimes more than 9-10 hours a day, including some weekends, and more and more hours are needed ...

Long story short, in the past two years (almost) I have really started to strive to finish my project as humanly as possible, but it turns out that sometimes I also need to sleep .... (who knew!)

I really hope to find people here that I can really identify with, that I can give some feedback on my work (almost finished).

Looking forward to reading your stories and also sharing mine.

Cheers!

I am oluwaseun i am a python developer, i freelance to make a living here to grow my business online and to mingle with new people and to motivate myself and build up my career

Hi community,
I am Jack. I am a finance professional.

I am creating a networked on-demand finance talent marketplace. The network will consist of finance talent, mostly from developing English speaking countries.

The platform will offer them mentorship, training/upskilling opportunities to be more digital-savvy and to get them remote job opportunities.

It will also enable startups to access affordable and tech-savvy finance and data analytics talent.
Hoping to learn a lot from this community on how to execute this idea.

Hi everyone, I'm currently software engineer working manly with Spring and Angular, but my true passion is in react/ react native. For 2020 I'm looking to build a decent side project to help dive deeper into the world of react native.

Hi everyone! Excited to be here! I’m a designer from Brazil. Initially I was a graphic designer focused on branding, then I started to work with clients from tech, fell in love with it, then completely transitioned to digital and UI. I always wanted to build something. Started a few things but was never able to finish it. Right now I’m doing a post grad in positive psych and very focused on investigating how to use design and technology to promote wellbeing and wellbeing only. My goal is to build apps that help people to flourish and also to create resources for creators to build better, ethical products. I also found this community on the same YouTube video mentioned by @RoopG

Hello! My name is Malthe. I'm a student living in Denmark, EU.

I have many programming ideas and I'm currently working on a sort of social media!

Hi, Rosie, how are you?

Hello everyone, I am Pascal.
It took me quite a while to post here because it meant I am actually up to doing something, so yeah, that's what I want to do on 2020.
I am a German CS student in the last mile of my education and since I can remember I always wanted to be independent and create things I like.
So here I am, looking to get started and hopefully make some friends on the way, but most importantly to learn and maybe even to teach something :)

Do you guys have some Ideas where to go next (besides the "Start Here" Section)?
Have a nice - whatever timezone you're in

Hey. I'm a Software Developer. Building web & mobile apps. Currently working on a productivity app to enhance your focus and fight procrastination.

Hi, I'm David. I'm working at The Other WorkSpace, a coworking space in Budapest (or as we say in Hungarian "Közösségi Iroda")!

And when I say I'm working this is what I mean:

After a bunch of travelling around and living a kind of nomadic life, I decided to settle in Budapest and to open a coworking space that corresponds to what I was craving for during my travelling around.

I tried quite a few (to be a bit euphemistic) coworking spaces. There sure were good ones, but the majority was just..., well not really pleasant, just basically too crowded, too noisy, too expensive.

So I am basically trying to offer all that is the opposite of what I mostly found, and I may be wrong in assuming that I am not the only one that wants a space where you can work in peace and quiet, where you have actual office chairs that don't hurt your butt, or some other similar things, but I hope not! :)

So I'm basically trying to do my best to give all the comfort, calm, services, and support to create the best possible conditions in The Other WorkSpace in Budapest.

EDIT: So after Christian asked for a link to my coworking space's website I realised (again) how dumb I was and that I should have posted it in the first place, so here it is: https://theotherworkspace.com :)

Hi, I’m Siarhei. Started my indie journey about 2 years ago and launching my first project in the upcoming days. Glad to be here

Hey everyone! I'm a ML guy, currently in the process of cofounding an AI platform in Munich (www.maiot.io/core), Germany. After focusing heavily on industrial use-cases like predictive maintenance over the last two years, we managed to build an end-to-end ML platform internally that we think is cool enough to talk to the outside world about!

I heard about IndieHackers from my brother who is a heavy user and says it is the most valuable source for feedback. I'm super curious how people will react to our idea and actively looking for feedback! Cheers!

hi im new

Thanks @rosiesherry for the warm welcome!

Hi

Hi everyone, I am a coder and love coding. I am currently a CTO of a Fintech startup in Jakarta, Indonesia. I'm planning to work from home. I am hoping I can find interesting projects here.

olá, sou Graciano Pinto

A year ago, I decided to take a once-in-a-lifetime chance to see if I could create online properties with a revenue stream, so my friends and colleagues could help those ideas snowball into something much bigger. Even though it's taken longer than expected - I'm only a month away from crowdfunding my first official attempt at single-handedly releasing a web-based strategy game, based on play-by-mail games from the 80's-90's.

thanks, @rosiesherry - decide to join after years of sitting on ideas, paying to outsource and just not getting things done. Realised I've been a no-code indie hacker for a few years now, but want to get my coding hat back on. Looking forward to it!

I am a Full Stack Developer working for a tech company in India. I want to learn to code, front-back end technology. I am new to this platform.I am here to help people to complete there projects.

Hi Rosie and to the IH community!

Found this community some days ago and decided to join today so I can share my successful business founding story at the end of this year 2020!

Already having ideas for different projects / businesses.

I like to do 3D graphics programming with MonoGame. I set a goal in the past to finish developing a 3D game which I did. It took me a year to do that since I did not know anything about it when I started. I would like to make money from it which I don't at the moment because it never got released to the wild ;-)

I signed up here to help others and to communicate with other people who want to start one or more businesses. I am looking forward to read or listen about the experiences others make or have made in the past :-)

Hi, I'm a 13 year old student from Barcelona. I build a couple websites, and I'm interested of upgrading my skills. I discovered the site in a YouTube video. I don't have any goals, I just hope to get feedback on my sites and help. :D

(sorry for my bad english btw)

Hi all. I am in Shanghai, China. mainly I write in Mandarin but I just found this community. So I am ready to discuss and share ideas with more people! Cheers.

Hello, I am a backend engineer (Front-end PoC is also possible) at one of FAANG in Seattle. Joined here to get myself motivated for side projects and to search for potential co-founders or folks who can develop side projects too.

Hello Indie Hackers!

I'm Jonathan and I help game developers create and release their games through my youtube channel youtube.com/TurboMakesGames

It has been a goal of mine to 10x my YouTube subscriber count each year... I ended 2017 with ~20 subscribers, ~200 at the end of 2018, and ~2,000 at the end of 2019. So for 2020 my goal is to hit 20,000.

Also, this year I am going to make some dedicated courses teaching specific technologies in game development... but more on that later 😉

By the end of the year I would like to be in a position where I have significant, regular income coming in from my business where I can at least see the path to leaving my day job (IT Service Technician).

Excited to be part of this community and sharing knowledge between people with similar goals and aspirations 😊

Hey folks, Patrick here, I'm the founder of BourbonBanter.com - a site and community dedicated to spreading the bourbon gospel and empowering others to drink curious.
