Welcome, introduce yourself! (Week of Feb 7th)

Hey y'all,

I'm Jake and I've been a lurker on here for quite a bit but decided it was time to finally join the community. I'm a product designer at a SaaS company but I'm starting to venture into Indie Hacking.

I recently launched an info product — a home fitness system for Notion (homefitnessos.com) which allows you to discover, create, and log workouts. It also makes it easy to track nutrition and overall progress so you can achieve your wellness goals.

I'm new to this IH world, but I'm excited to learn from the rest of you in this community. Feel free to reach out here or via Twitter (@jacobrokaw).

Hey! I’m Gloria. I’m a graphics designer and an engineering student. I discovered y’all from Apple Podcasts and I’m just here to sharpen my entrepreneurial IQ and see how I can monetize my other skill-Electronics repairs.
Thanks for having me here, really appreciate it!

I was wondering if y’all have an app though

Hi Indie Hackers,

Kieran here, I am the co-founder of ReferralHero (referralhero.com) (RH). We provide online businesses with out of the box incentivized referral software for products, we charge a subscription. We currently turnover $10k MRR. It's all 100% bootstrapped and growth is currently generated through organic referrals. RH has ben around for a while (5y) and the product has evolved from it's early iterations as predominantly a viral waiting list tool, it's now a full suite of tools, e.g 'give $10 get $10' type of referrals.

(example of our widget in action)
https://example-3.referralhero.com/

The aim is to grow by 35 customers and get to $25k MRR in 6-weeks. We think we can do this by offering a concierge type onboarding, tech set up and referral coaching package. Historically RH has always been self-service i.e we don't really do any customer success. We realise this was probably a mistake, but hey, it's all about the journey of self realisation.

Looking forward to leveraging off the communities good vibes and updating on progress.

Hi! I'm Ricardo. I am a medical doctor working as a software / machine learning engineer / CTO-ish at a teledermatology startup. Apart from that, I love working on other projects. I'm also a dancer and ex-swimmer, so I love sports too.

Some things I'm working on right now are:

• drwn.io: a set of logos to visualize software better. You can use them to create presentations or copy them to Excalidraw and modify them. The website provides full-text search for the drawings (by title or tags).

• litements: data structures and patterns implemented with Python + SQLite.

• My blog

In general, I am always trying random stuff that catches my attention.

Hello Indie Hackers!

Alberto here. I am a Product Designer with a previous background on CS. I work for clients as a UX Consultant. Even though consulting is good, my aim is to build something that is meaningful to me; so, I always leave some time to side projects.

I built gurudelaguitarra.com along with a musician friend. It's a site in Spanish for learning how to play the guitar. Now I'm working on a similar project but this time the approach is to become a marketplace.

A few more things about me: my first language is Spanish; I'm a musician and play the guitar; I teach Design Thinking to CS students at university.

Excited to be here to share and learn from you all!

Hello Indie Hackers!

I'm Austin and I recently graduated Lambda School (coding bootcamp) and built and launched a simple web app that helps users reclaim, search, and explore all of their Facebook data. https://fbexplorer.app/

Me and my cofounder who I met at Lambda are currently working on a native desktop app that will expand the capabilities of fbexplorer and allow users to reclaim a majority of their social media data.

I'm very new to building in public and launching products but I'm excited to be connecting with this community and starting my founder journey!

What are you working on?

Hi everyone,

I love coding and talking to users, but I am burnt out from working with VC-backed startups. I am looking for a better way to sustainably align making money with working on something both I and a market of customers are passionate about. I have been most alive and self-actualized when I was a cofounder of an early stage company with no investors and tiny revenue (1 customer paid $100 / yr). We failed ferociously fast, but as I've read is the case for others too, I was left broke and in need of a steady paycheck. Hence, I focused on VC-backed startups where there was capital to pay me a decent salary while still having the upside opportunity to participate in the game of private equity.

For the VC-backed startups I've worked with, I have contributed as employee number 1-10 typically as full stack engineering hire, and usually inherit rough legacy prototypes that have been outsourced to contractors before I joined. When I would start with the founders, there was generally a high degree of anxiety and pressure to deliver a scalable MVP from the prototype code. Interestingly, the organization's investors are often the source of these pressures. The investors' short-term outlook on a dwindling ROI potential from the lackluster progress of their investment causes them to demand "growth" from founders, which trickles down to me on day 1 of the job to build the product. I've had to wear many hats, but the stress has been taxing.

Despite the stressful peaks and valleys along the way (and a one-off real estate deal gone bad), I did manage to stumble across a mediocre acquisition exit experience (it canceled out the financially ruining real estate deal). I am grateful for the journey as I have reached a clearer idea of what I value and were I want to spend my time. I now value slow, sustainable, consistent, wholesome ventures that are not afraid to end their own life if they think they've evolved into a bigger problem than the one they'd set out to solve in the first place.

I do rely on a full-time day job to pay for my life and family, but since COVID, I have found sparse bandwidth to start a podcast, Money Beyond Borders (https://moneybeyondborders.com/), helping people to develop a practical and modern education in personal finance.

I am here to read and listen to the stories of fellow indie hackers and maybe provide some wholesome help / insight in some way I can to add to the inspiration and support this community already provides to its members. Entrepreneurship has been a lonely road, but just knowing that there are others out there working hard in the face of uncertainty gets me fired up again.

Never give up - please reach out at anytime along your journey [email protected], sometimes we just need a little encouragement to get back to it :)

Mario here, and I am a founder looking to start a job board. I am a non-tech founder and yeah been learning on the fly. My searches always lead me here, so here I am.

Hi Indie Hackers!

My name is Derek, and I'm full stack engineer with a focus on mobile. I've been in the mobile enterprise app world for ~5 years now. I'm here on IH to validate my side project, be involved in the community, and to potentially team up with designers, marketers, and other devs.

As I'm working full-time, my side project is more for fun and to hone my design skills... although I could get an MVP going if I worked at it for a month or two.

Looking forward to diving into IH

Hey there! Jonathan here (@jonbstrong), working on growing my productized service - Spotlight Podcasting (spotlightpodcasting.com).

Looking forward to connecting with more fellow indie hackers :)

Hi, here is Daniel. I am a software developer that has some ideas hanging over my head and I would like to know if I can make them real. I hope to learn a lot from you all

It’s important I make this confession. My wife and I were planning of securing a mortgage loan. With which I couldn’t get approval due to issues of low credit rating such as hard inquiries, bankruptcy, collection accounts, late payments, and these got us totally frustrated. But thanks to RAYLINK CYBER SERVICES who came true for me after I subscribed to their services. They raised my score to 785, now I have been able to buy a home and car for my family, my appreciation goes to RAYLINK. His info: [email protected]

Hey everybody!

My name is Octavian and I'm a software consultant in London, UK. I heard a lot about this community so I'm happy to finally have joined.

I would love to get your feedback on this product that I've been building part-time for a few months now called Airlou (https://www.airlou.com).

The idea behind this platform is:

1. to provide inspiration to people that are planning to visit places for the first time but unsure where to start from
2. allow users to visualize their own travel experiences and share them with friends and families
3. help people plan their journeys quicker

The idea came from a personal frustration when it came down to planning my trips, especially within a pretty short timeframe. I always ended up rushing and probably missed a lot of cool places I could have seen had I had a community of people to inspire me.

I know the whole COVID-19 thing is making things very hard for traveling but I don't believe people will restrain from traveling forever.

I would very much love to hear from you guys. Feel free to reach out here, or on the FB page (https://www.facebook.com/airlou.official/).

Hi all,

I'm Senthil, Content Strategist at a social network. We're bootstrapping for now. I'm looking forward to meet new people who are good at growth, which is a major pain point we're trying hard to solve. :)

Cheers.

Hi

Hey everyone,

I'm Timo and I'm a senior engineer at a startup in Australia but a few months ago I started working on my own project in my free time: relayforms.com - a backend for your form submissions that can be integrated with virtually any other service and has a focus on privacy.

I know the idea isn't very new and there are already a few players in the market. I needed something like this for a website I was working on and decided to create my own. I really enjoyed creating it so far, but now that I'm on the last stretch from an engineering perspective, I need to start thinking about how to acquire users and actually sell it.

I'm hoping to learn a lot from the people in this community! If anyone wants to connect DM me here or on twitter @Timo_Hill.

Hey all!

I've been a writer for a long time but have never been able to monetize it or even build an audience I could use to sell products. So the goal is to change that :)

Work as a PM at a tech company, but I've always loved tinkering with things here and there.

Hey! I'm Regan and I'm a web developer and not-currently-practicing attorney. I'm here to learn as much as I can about hustling and running a successful web-based side business (or full-time business). Working on a couple projects at the moment but excited to learn from the community.

Hi Guys,

I am Sushant, I am the co-founder of Optimite.net. I'm so excited to learn from the rest of you in this community.

Hey Indie Hackers,
My name is Lakshraj Doshi, I am an avid product enthusiast. Being an undergrad at an engineering college , I keep on exposing myself to different strata of topics to build effective solutions.

I have experience working in diverse industries, like being a PM at a micromobility company known as Bounce where I handled their KYC stack, onboarding users and hadnling tradeoffs between customer convenience & frauds done on bookings. I love to build products zero to one and was the first product hire at an e-procurement firm known as Gomigo (www.gomigo.com), where we created an omnichannel communication for easier onboarding of suppliers and lifecycle management of purchase orders.

Currently, I have been building Infloso is an open marketplace that standardizes and democratizes Influencer marketing and helps connect brands with influencers. We help brands of all budgets, sizes and types to build this trust with Infloso. We are currently in our beta stage doing live campaigns with 5 brands and 500 influencers.

I would love to garner feedback, suggestions from you all about the same of how should we build trust and authenticity in influencer marketing and create active communities of influencers.

If anyone wants to connect, please DM me on [email protected]

Hi, I am Tim and I have been listening to the podcast. I joined because I want to contribute, not only take.

Hi, Ro here and I'm looking forward to join your community. I'm a part time coder with some ideas, so i figured why not talking about then.

Hey, I am Christian. I am getting in touch with life again, restarting to learn and build. I like ideas that are new, helpful and profitable. And found some I like and are worth pursuing. So I can freely help others in thinking their projects a little bit bigger, if they like to. Not having anything pulled off yet that meets my criteria, this thought is a little bit bold. But that's me... I hope to inspire, to get inspired, and to connect, here. It's never 2L82 (re)start!

Hey friends and indie hackers!

I've been searching for a community like this, a friend of mine told me it is the place I need, and am glad to have found you here!

I'm a developer and designer consultant from Canada, lives in Dubai. I'm super excited for the coming months of sharing ideas, resources, and making connections with people in this wonderful community.

Currently I'm building a community for UAE startups, investors and talents. Check it here (https://uaehub.vercel.app).

I'm supper exited and want to meet and learn from everyone here how to build successful and sustainable communities and products.

Looking forward to chatting more soon.
Cheers 🙌🏼

Hi everyone—

Where do I start. You know those people who buy countless domain names, renewing them year-over-year, only to never end up using them. Yeah, that's me.

For years I have been coming up with ideas, buying domain names, writing business plans, and failing to execute. Every. Single. Time. I think I've always had a fear of launching something before it's ready, but in reality that means I never launched anything. No matter how many times I hear someone say "never let perfect stand in the way of good enough" or words to that effect, it doesn't sink in.

The last year has been difficult for everyone. But, while extremely hard, it has taught me that I should get my shit together and start launching all the business, side hustles and passion projects that have been swirling around my heard for years.

So, starting in 2021 I made a commitment to myself. One that would see my launch as many projects as possible. And that leads me to today. A day or so away from launching my first new service—an outsourced email and marketing automation agency—I'm I'm feeling excited for what the next few months hold.

So I'm here seeking a some like-minded connections with fellow creatives, makers, domain hoarders and developers. I look forward to participating.

—Ollie

Hey everyone,

I'm Blake and I was just recommended this site by a friend of mine a couple days ago. I am an engineering student in Springfield, MO and a founder of a new mobile app startup... But I don't have much experience in programming.

I had an internship at a nonprofit the summer after graduating high school and lived in Nicaragua for 3 months. It was a life changing experience, and once I got back I knew I wanted to create something that would do more to help organizations like the one I interned for enact change in the world.

I'm pretty pumped to have had this platform recommended to me and hope I can learn from all of you!

Thanks for the intro Rosie!

I'm Kathleen Booth, VP of Marketing at clean.io, a digital engagement security platform that helps businesses retain revenue and build stronger customer relationships by controlling the third party code that executes on their websites.

Prior to 2017, I was an entrepreneur and business owner who started and exited several different companies. Now, I help high growth startups build scalable marketing engines.

At clean.io, I'm currently working on taking our new product cleanCART (https://www.clean.io/ecommerce-coupon-extension-blocker) to market. cleanCART helps online retailers protect their revenue and user experience by blocking coupon code extensions such as Honey and Capital One Shopping from auto-injecting coupon codes at checkout.

Excited to be here and learn from you all!

Hello! I'm D'vorah. I'm a tech enthusiast that started programming at 17. I worked at the Human Genome Project as a programmer and there, I discover the power of intellectual property. Although not a very attractive topic (and something that's often overlooked by founders), I found in intellectual property a way to build a company I love while helping smaller startups make this world a better place.

20 years later, I'm as excited about tech as when I started programming!

I'm currently bootstrapping a SaaS company and this is a journey I don't want to do alone.

I've followed Indie Hackers' content for a long time but now I want to be part of this community, have conversations with other tech and startup enthusiasts, and be as helpful as possible!

Hi everybody !, Jhon here.
This may sound controversial to some people but I'm a Bussines Administrator. I fell in love with apps after seeing all the potential a simple app, even one built by a single person in his room, can have to improve people's life. So I started learning with all the motivation to combine my two passions, Bussines and apps.
I hope I can share some of my business knowledge and at the same time learn from all the beautiful people that makes up this community (because sincerely I'm still pretty new to this world). Also, in the way, I'm searching to build great friendships to make awesome products that help people.
Follow me if you want to connect or want to know about business (especially for investing) and some code (@J_Idrovo1).

I am a Construction Project Manager working in the housing industry, and studying Master of Project Management in QUT. I got 40 yesterday :)

IndieHackers recommended to me by a great friend that I admire a lot.

I have a side project: I am developing a construction management software, which I personally use daily. I hope to find a way to get other builders to use it as much as I use and enjoy.

The hurdle I encounter at the moment is marketing the app. I hope I can find some people here to help me find a way to get some customers.

My goal for the next 6 month is to find 3 new customers.

Cheers, :)

Hey y'all! I'm Jelle from Belgium, full-time psychology, tech and start-up lover. I recently joined a SaaS start-up named Spott.ai, a platform which allows people to make their content (images, video, PDF) interactive by adding tags on it. These tags can serve different purposes, for instance to let people add a product shown in the content directly to their cart or to provide more information about a certain element.

I'm hoping to learn some ideas on growing our start-up and on general entrepreneurship practices which will come in useful when (not if) I'm ready to start my own business.

Looking forward to getting to know you and learning from you!

Hi, I'm Josh. I am an a data-science analyst and academic by profession but have run a couple of businesses too. Prior to my current new venture, I ran and eventually sold a webdesign and development firm that was based out of Singapore and the UK.

I have just embarked on a newsletter project titled: "Wait! Just Listen" http://waitjustlisten.substack.com

This (currently free) writing project explores the hidden stories around seemingly ordinary forms of data and its impact on our society, life and work.

The newsletter also provides snapshot studies on how various forms of publicly accessible data on major digital media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Amazon, relate to, reinforce and even challenge real world systems, cultures and practices.

Good to be part of this thriving community of likeminded individuals and if you have even a fleeting interest in social media, data and technology, get in touch and/or subscribe to the newsletter. Thank you!

Hello Gloria & Indie Hackers,

My name is Eric. I am an owner/ sales consultant for a timeshare termination firm. I would say it is more of a marketing company as our company does not actually perform the services we sell. We pay/hire 3rd party attorneys at a lower rate to perform our services than what our service fee is for our clients. That allows us to focus solely on marketing and sales. I am looking to expand and looking for partners who are skilled in marketing. If anyone would like more information and interested in collaboration please reach out.

Thank you.

Hi everyone
My name is Craig - I've built other startups before, excited to be sharing a new one with the Indiehacker community. I think it's something that could be useful for other indie hackers!

The best part of the indie hacker community is how helpful everyone is. I've never met another community that is so willing to help and take a part of their day to help out a fellow builder.

Hi!
@Albertobeiz here, a developer new to this indie hackers world. I recently started the adventure of making my own products and monetizing them.

So what I first looked for was a place to share my products in spanish, my native language (something like product hunt) and I couldn't find one!

So I invite all the spanish community to share their products on miproyecto.io, let's show everyone that all we can do

Gracias y bienvenidos a miproyecto.io!

Hi Indie Hackers,

I'm Pramod, from Bangalore, India 🇮🇳 (Twitter, LinkedIn)

👉 About me:

• Currently building Threado - an engagement platform that helps brands manage and grow online communities. We are an early-stage bootstrapped startup (team of 3).
• Started my professional journey in 2007 with Bain. A weekend work project (Zomato) by a couple of my colleagues took off. Joined them in 2010 and spent 8+ years at Zomato focusing on user growth, marketing, community building and marketplace operations.
• Moved on from Zomato in 2019, took a year long break before starting Threado

🧑‍💻 Keen on learning about how to build minimum viable solutions that solve a real need and do it for the long term, sustainably.

🥅 Goal: Ship an MVP solution every two weeks
While the core product of my startup has taken a couple of months to build out, we just decided to ship smaller products every couple of weeks to build momentum and get feedback. This week we released a SlackBot that makes it fun to express gratitude on Slack communities for example: SamosaBot. Planning to work next on a Zoom + Typeform product around breakouts/meetups.

🤝 What can I help with:

• Anything around user growth, community building, brand marketing
• Building/scaling marketplace operations
• Beta testing new products and sharing feedback

✋ Where I need help:

• Tech related (working with APIs, frontend help)
• Feedback on the product/early beta testers from different markets

Looking forward to learning from the community and contributing to it.

Hi I am cofounder of meetup.link(https://meetup.link/) and Docbird (https://www.producthunt.com/upcoming/docbird). We are currently in Beta phase and looking for feedback.

Hai Everyone,
I'm Sajjad geek and crazy of software developement, I am currently part of AIT company and trying to develope lot's of produts with our team.
I am happy to be here Let's see what the journey will bring to us

👋 Jim here, hello. I'm building 2x side projects (1x serious, 1x fun) after 20 years "building other people's dreams" (ie. running a digital agency).

Before saying what they are I just wanted to say hi to @ilovewordsworth 🤗 ... Tash, you're the reason I'm here - I've just read your post and that sucks - I'm so sorry. I came and signed up to offer support in the form of hug emoji - it's all I've got, soz.

Our two side projects are... 🥁

💛 OneSub - a better way to read & pay for news. A balanced daily perspective on world news in the time you have available. Big v1.0 release live next Monday 😬

🎩 twiDAQ - a slightly bonkers Twitter stock-exchange game!.. technically started ~10 years ago and month-balled cos clients & bills & chores... Needs dusting off & relaunching this spring.

We're ~bootstrapped.. though OneSub did manage a crowd round of GBP 100k in 2019.. and our MRR is a whopping ~£100 .. which just about covers the coffee budget!

Good luck with all your projects and I'm really looking forward to meeting everyone. 🙌

Hello good people, my name is Sanskar Kumar Singh. I am from India. I got to know about this website through medium.com while browsing for content under the programming section. I hope i could learn from and deliver contents to this community.

Hi Indie Hackers,
I'm Leo. I am JAVA engineering. I want to contribute my skill to the community. If you have a good idea, we can work together.

Hey everyone,

I'm shashwat, a software developer based in the UK. I was born and raised in India and moved to the UK for undergraduate studies.

I discovered indie hackers from a youtube video I was watching about online communities for enterpreneurs.

I have always dreamed of being an enterpreneur and running my own startup. As i have entered the developer life i am slowly realising that the monotony of a fulltime job where I don't really care about the products i work on is not for me.

Currently i am experienced in backend development with a speciality in API development in python. I have started working on side projects as a way to experience what its like to take an idea from concept to product.

The current project im working on is a note taking app designed to allow people to take quick notes on the go without compromising on security and detail.

Looking forward to being a part of this community.

Cheers

Hi, I'm karsh founder of www.onetapcheckin.com. Super excited to find this community. I build the product most on my own with help from a few consultants. Currently working on growth and marketing and looking to add people to my team.

Hi hackers,

I'm Josh and I've been working solo for years, so I’m excited about broadening into more community by joining IndieHackers. My indie passion project is an iOS app called Lifechime (lifechime.com). My current little project is designing and marketing a sticker sheet, which is fun because of how much faster the process is compared to software. I’ll post about that on my profile once it’s up. Coming from engineering at Apple, I’m usually all about creating consumer-facing apps that go the extra mile with interaction design — but solid growth model is priority #1 for my next software project. My career started in tech support, QA, and UX, so I'm happy to help beta test – but be ready for feedback!

Hello everybody, hope you are all well!

We have developed StreamParty.com, a global social viewing community! Looking to learn from others how we can continuously grow the business.

Hello all,

My name is Ben, I work in the Emergency Room as a Nurse Practitioner. It goes without saying that the last year has been tough and has really caused an increase in burnout amongst healthcare workers in general, as I'm sure we are all experiencing! This burnout has led me to start a few side projects which I have been totally blind on until finding this community and Podcast! I currently publish 3 different news letters all with less than 100 subscribers at this point...

https://thepoliticalmuse.substack.com/

https://crackedgaming.substack.com/

and an investment letter which is on a private email chain. I am fairly new to the newsletter space but have recognized its challenges early on. This has prompted me to come up with my latest idea which would be a mobile app for newsletters, think of it like the apple podcast app but for articles. Separating them from email and allowing people to intentionally seek out the articles they want to read when they have time as well as a web landing page for authors to write and publish their work to the app. I have 0 coding experience and want to try to teach myself but have found the task daunting to this point, especially while working full time. I am excited by idea and love writing my news letters and hope to build and grow them so that I can get out of the rat race and practice medicine for the fun and helping others again! Please don't hesitate to reach out to me with suggestions or feedback on any of my letters or ideas! email and twitter below:

Thanks
Ben

Hi everyone!
Henry, founder of Koa, the Instagram Growth Automation Tool.

Koa automates your likes, follows, unfollows, stories and more! It uses real phones and targets intelligently based on the settings that you fine-tune and select.

The app has always been on my mind. It's been a long 4 month journey, and now i'm trying to make this side-hustle into my main.

Really happy to finally enter beta phase and hand out private invites for the API! I'd love to also connect and learn about how you use Instagram for your services to get an idea of direction from here on. How do you get your services out there?

Hey nerds,

I'm a software engineer looking to learn more about validating SaaS ideas and acquiring customers. By day I work backend on payments systems, and in my free time I work on games and game-adjacent services, like EFT-Graph (https://eft-graph.com).

I'm currently working on a tiny roguelike in the browser, as a way to build familiarity with game programming before this year's 7 day roguelike challenge (http://7drl.com/).

While games are my passion, I'd really like to create a service that can help users while helping me pay the bills 😊

I'm interested in learning to acquire customers, market a product, and find exploitable niches, and I'm available to teach about software architecture and development processes, etc.

Hello Hackers,

I am Sukhpreet, a self-taught web developer. I'm hoping to enter the market in this new year of 2021 as a web dev!. I also have an interest in starting a business.
I am also open to collaborating with other Indie Hackers.

Hey there,

My goal is to build up determination and follow trough with launching real products people want to use

Hi Indie Hackers,

Adam here, I'm the founder of Websiteshot. The idea behind it is quite simple: automate screenshots - I can already hear the yawn ;) But: the difference and the big added value is on the one hand the easy integration into existing workflows and on the other hand the automation that comes with it. The whole project was created to solve a personal problem: regularly screenshots for documentations have to be updated. For example, if the header of a page changes, all screenshots need an update. I wanted a solution to automate this procedure.

My goal for the next 4 weeks is to have 50 users testing Websiteshot and validating the idea. For this I have described some example use cases to make an integration as easy as possible.

The complete product is 100% bootstrapped. That means I act completely independent and don't have to consider third parties when it comes to the roadmap.

I am looking forward to your feedback and especially to a great community here that helps me to bring the product one step further.

If you want to connect please just reply, follow or write to [email protected].

Hi there,

I'm a long time web dev and new indie hacker.
I've been aware of IndieHackers thanks to the posts making it to HN once in a while, now it's time to be part of the community :)

I want to try out a few ideas in the business messaging area (Salck & Teams). Or maybe something else... Having fun coding is the main goal but I wouldn't be against some revenues either.

I've just launched pgtop.dev: PostgresSQL monitoring from Slack.

Hi Indie Hackers,

my name is Daniil (@daniswhoiam) and I am the co-founder of kitanauten (kitanauten.de). We are a young startup from Berlin, Germany, and our goal is to make recruiting in the educational sector easier, starting with nursery schools and kindergarten. Our platform enables educators to create a profile and provides them information about employers and their open positions.

As of today, we have no revenue yet, as we are still experimenting to find a product design and value proposition that our future customers are willing to pay for.

I am looking forward to join the IH community for knowledge exchange and to meet some great people.

If anyone would like to connect, just DM me!

Daniil

Hi guys!

My name is Justin and I run an IT consultancy firm called Thinking Pandas (https://www.thinkingpandas.com/). Over the past few years, I've built a great team and we've gotten pretty good at building stuff for other startups. I think it's time to try to cash in on that experience and try to build our own SAAS product :) As with most hackers here, I'm here to learn, teach and get involved with the community.

Cheers,
Justin

Hi everyone!

I'm Sonia, a Software Developer from Italy 🇮🇹.

Although I'm very happily employed at a company that treats me well, lately I've been feeling more and more driven towards making my own products on the side. 😎

But while I really enjoy the building part, the rest (marketing, launching, pricing, finding a userbase) really scares me since I'm very inexperienced. 😰

Now I'm on the road to launching my first simple product on Product Hunt, in order to gain experience for the launch of a bigger product later this year. 🚀

I'm very inexperienced (and scared) so I hope I can find a community here to get feedback and also share my learnings! Let's connect! 😃

Hey,
I'm Hrishi, I'm a Module Lead at IDfy a Fraud Detection Company. I listen to rock music and play FIFA.

Open to connect for Networking, Work, Casual Talks.

Hey everyone! New indie hacker here. I'm working on 3 projects atm in the agritech, ecommerce, and disinformation spaces.
