Welcome, introduce yourself! (Week of Nov 1st)

Hi! I've been a hermit indie hacker for years now, and have decided to come out of my shell to build my latest SaaS product. Seems like everyone else is building in public, so I will give it a try. It's scary as hell! Any advice?

Hi everyone, I am an Italian soloprenuer living and working in Russia. I used to run a successful travel website for the past 8 years (www.st-petersburg-essentialguide.com) but due to the global pandemic my website got hit very bad so I am currently out of business and thinking what to do next year.

The last 3 months I have been researching and brainstorming new ideas for business and what I found out is that ideas are many but to implement them take time, money, and bravery. I am here to get inspired and get unbiased feedback about some ideas I would like to make within the next months.

Have a great day folks!

Hi... New in coding...

Hello

I’m new around here and joined because I have a side project, an idea I’d like to build into an MVP, with the eventual goal of a sustainable business and exit from my current career. I need to bootstrap it because of work and life commitments and I thought I could gain valuable insights from this community!

Hey everyone, Kinglsey here,
I am an athlete (Paralympic Rower) and a Software Developer, since the games was
postponed to 2021, I thought I use the lockdown to create a product, been silently
working away plus training too, basically creating a learning management system (LMS)
with some web development courses (Design - Frontend - Database Design - Python - Django Framework)

My weakness is in not communicating what I am doing, on indiehacker I want to change
that, so this is what I am working on everyone! :) less than a week from having a MVP.

Hi 🙋🏻‍♂️
I’m in a full time job and interested in getting a side project off the ground. I thought of writing content about video games for busy bees in Russian language through Substack. Currently interviewing my friends to get into the ‘customer’ mindset. This should give me enough indication on where to start.
Have no idea how to monetise, but will figure it out along the way 🤔

I’m here to get honest, ruthless feedback once I get to validation/ prototyping stage. A colleague of mine praised this community as the real deal.
Does anyone have a great story to tell how indie hackers helped them with their projects?

Hey everyone, Sebastian here,
I help tech SaaS with a vision scale their performance & understand their customers. I've been a passionate growth hacker & performance marketer for 8 years now.

SaaS I work closely with are usually so engulfed in numbers and data, that they forget who their profitable customers actually are or they never identified them in the first place.

That's where I come in to build and implement strategies so they can really connect and have meaningful conversations with their customers for sustainable growth & authentic brand building.
Understanding, communicating and solving the actual pain points, not just "nice-to-haves", is a major part of my work.

I'm all in for community building and storytelling combined with a data-driven performance approach because most SaaS I work with either focus on one side or the other - not both.

I'm also building a side project that focuses on how SaaS can build real connections with their customers and community online, now that communicating in person has become close to impossible.
More on that in a separate post.

I am happy to be part of this fantastic community and wish you all a great day! :)

Hi, I'm developer from Russia. Working on uptime/performance monitoring service Apdex. I already has MVP and a lot of plans too :-) Looking for feedback.

Hey gang - stumbled into IH and looking forward to being part of the community. 15 yrs experience building and scaling GTM functions (marketing/sales/success/support) within high growth saas orgs. Should be fun!

Hi folks, I'm a long-time PM leaving my tech job to focus on ideas and to build a business. Would love to eventually partner with a developer. My approach will be to test ideas without building anything until I land on one that I think is worth building an MVP against. My first idea involves building on Instagram to bring real-time collaboration to the home design and interiors space, which is siloed, manual, and annoying—a problem of mine that drives me a bit nuts. I'm not building anything until I've talked to enough people that I think it's viable, but if I did it might (?) be a reasonable-sized MVP providing we can be an Instagram business and consumer app like Later or Preview. Think Figma x Pinterest for Home and Interiors projects.

Hi Everybody.
My name is Mads Knud Babiel Schmidt Petersen (I know, too long, hence my username MKBSP).
I am a lifetime member of the entrepreneur lifestyle, started my first company at age 16 in Denmark. Now I live in Colombia, recently resigned my job at a successful startup (greensill.com), to go all in on an idea (looks like funding is around the corner), but my passion project is a travel tech idea, which I will share soon.
I sometimes struggle with self-esteem and motivation, so im joining the community in the hopes of great feedback and emotional support.
Thank you all!

Hi! I am a "software developer" with very minimal technical expertise, getting by thanks to the awesome folks in the developer communities . Although I took the job to make some money, recently I have been fascinated by this world and am planning to lose the quotes and become an actual software dev. Wish me luck! :)

Back in the game!!!! I just launched Plannd.co, a marketplace for discovering and booking private group virtual (and eventually live) events. Yay! I have three businesses onboarded so far with 2 more in the pipeline. My goal is to have 10 total businesses onboarded by the end of November!

Hi guys, just landed here on a recommendation from NoCodePortal.com ... thanks Mariam! I'm glad I found you guys cause I could use some help! I've been coding many side project over the years but never did anything with them. But this time I'm actually pretty happy with my No Code platform ... and I really want to do something with it! Check out my demo here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/226iqv7os0bdxmq/Demo.mp4?dl=0 any feedback welcome :)

Hi everyone!

Just recently came across this community, inspired what I've seen so far. All I have so far is a bunch of ideas and scribbles. Look forward to hacking together and bringing them to life here!

Hi! I'm an aspiring entrepreneur trying to find an idea for my first SaaS. My initial idea is business accounting software that integrates between services well, but I'm still doing research. Excited to learn from others!

Hi Everyone, I came to be part of this amazing community while buidling MVP for my side project. I am using Nocode tools to build my MVP.I have gain lot of valuable insight from this community and aim to launch my MVP as soon as possible.

Hi, my name is Alex Boa, I am passionate about digital marketing, websites, everything that is the basis of a website, I have many ideas for businesses that can reach the top on the internet but I have no collaborators, I am alone against everyone , I would like indie hackers to find collaborators who can become my friends in the future with whom to do great things.

I read some of the introductions here and very much pleased to see the enthusiasm.
I am a professional web developer. Over the years I found out, it takes a lot of effort to create something complete and fully featured. Along with development, design and testing, you need marketing, customer support and business strategies. We are indie and have to do it indie way. I am happy joining indiehackers. I want to build apps for small businesses.

Hello! I started as one and am now a trio building "peopley" stuff. In my quest to find something better than a 9 box HR competence prison I didn't turn up the right collaborative and visual for developing the humans in a business. So I "thunked" it instead. It's moving out of Client Beta into software build ... I'm the non techie ... it all looks like it's moving in the right direction being in peak Klingon speak right now ... so I figured I'd come here and do a bit of exploring to see how others are doing this and how tech choices stack up and play out. I'm looking at Roadmapping right now - not just the tech but the Ops wrap around it. Excited to explore and pleased to meet you all.

Hey @rosiesherry

Hi All! I'm building a free, game-based personal finance education app I feel super passionate about. The name of the app is Finny (askfinny.com). I'm at the point where I'd love to get more feedback (good and bad), so I joined the Indie Hacker community. Also, happy to help any of you--I'm particularly interested in consumer fintech and educational products.
I live in the SF Bay Area, and we have a small team of 4 people (bootstrapped, no capital). We do get help and love from many people who are passionate about financial education and game-based design.
Feel free to chime in with your thoughts, ideas and feedback!

Hi! I am new to Indie hackers and looking forward to exploring this community. I am a solo founder and looking to launch a social media platform.

I have been coming back and forth on this site, but busy schedules stopped me from diving deeper. Today, this website was recommended to me in person. After a short explanation, it was obvious - I had to be part of this community for good.

Hi I am a Pythonista. My expertise is in backend web development with Python and Frontend with React.js

Also, I am a (neo)vim user and improve configurations (that you can find on my GitHub) of an editor and some tools like a shell, terminal, etc.

Being a read-only internet user for a long time, I always dreamed about my own blog. So, that's my goal for the near future - to do my own blog and write posts there. I wanna share my developer experience and write about technologies that I used or interested in.
I also interested in topics like the Zettelkasten method that should help me start writing blog posts.

I'm glad to join the community. Stay tuned!

Hi rose

Heya! New to IndieHackers, but not new to business. If anything, at this point I'm probably not considered an IndieHacker.... but at one point I definitely was! Today I run a successful software business with remote employees all over the world. I'm here to give back and share some lessons learned from my experiences, and of course to keep learning. Glad to be here!

Hi! After years of working in corporate, I jumped into the water last year. It was refreshing. Doing my own thing gave me something I didn't realize I was missing.
Anyway, long story short - my co-founder and I created a SaaS product. You can check it out here: lizaai.com
I am looking forward to see what everyone is working on. I'm competitive as hell, so seeing others build cool stuff energizes me to push my own limits.

Hello! My name is Monika. I am a graphic designer and web designer. I was a Product manager in international company for almost 5 years. Than, one day, I've decided to follow my dreams of being a designer. I worked every free minute I had, towards this dream. I was watching videos, attending courses and trying to produce something decent.

Today I have my own firm for almost a year, but currently I am struggling with getting new clients. I am searching for new ideas. I am working on email campaigns, social media building and I also have a plan to launch my first product in online shop. I am designing my own planner and I am really excited about it, but I don't have any experience of selling the product.

I can't wait to learn something new and I hope I will also be helpful in this community.

Ciao. Monika

Hello hello!

Hi there! I've known about the Indie Hackers community for a while now but am just finally joining and am excited to be here. I jumped into the world of entrepreneurship 5 years ago and spent a couple of years freelancing before joining my current startup, Makeswift (www.makeswift.com).

Hello!! I'm a recent university grad working out of Toronto, and I've decided to begin startup focused on matching students seeking internships with tech companies seeking interns.

I've lurked in the IndieHackers community for a while, but now seems like a good time to start engaging! Anyways, is there any advice for setting work-life boundaries? I feel like there's always another thing I could be working on.

Hello Everyone!
Just joined this community. Seems like a great place to come back to develop accountability and progress!

Have been in the idea phase for a while, accumulating few different ones, but have never got to the point of starting to executing one until now. Each time I decide to start something, I get stuck in overthinking if it is the right time or is the right idea to work on. With zero momentum so far, I have decided to get started on something and get the wheels moving.

But I have this question I wanted to ask you all that brings me here to begin with. I am sure lot of you have different ideas flowing and wanting to do. But ...

1. How do you actually end up deciding which one you want to pick and move forward ?
2. What is the process you go through in evaluating that ?

Would appreciate any thoughts or inputs. Thanks!

Hello all! I'm a CS student attending a University and I really like Javascript and Python. I've spent a lot of my time studying Javascript and more recently React. It still feels like there is so much left to learn so, I figured I would look at some communities and see if I could get some help from others and even work on a project together. I'm excited to where we will all go!

Hi there,
Good luck everyone!

Hi everyone! I'm Henn from Plantt, and our startup is an AI customer experience platform. I hope to read, learn and get some advice from the community. Keep up the good work! 💪

Hey everyone,
Also someone that's very new here. I'm the current CEO of a logistics company and look to expand my horizons by developing an all around platform that enables simplified dynamic operations within our industry and enabling all-around data-analysis that small to mid-size business normally do not have access too. There's many "out of the box" solutions for our industry, but as an individual who has been apart of several $1B+ organizations and now running my own SMB within the industry - you can certainly see the lack of tools, processes, and data are limiting growth tremendously. I hope to incorporate a python-AI backend in-order to make attempts in identifying market shifts before they happen by incorporating self procured data and data that is currently available by 3rd party services. I also hope to streamline eliminating redundant connectivity/visibility that is currently being offered in our industry by 3rd parties at premium prices by eliminating lag and overall complications from the procedures with programming. I have NO educational background in programming, but am self taught since the age of 15 in the areas of PHP, Perl/CGI, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, VB, PowerQ, C, C#, C++ - having A BUNCH of side projects over the years for self use. I am finally putting my technical skills that I have self-acquired to use by starting this side project successfully about a month ago with ReactJS, MongoDB, Python, Node, and MobX (state management).

Great to be here. I've been reading indiehackers for a while. As a serial entrepreneur who has started, acquired and sold several businesses, I share my successes and failures on my podcast www.BaconWrappedBusiness.com

Hello! I am a developer based out of Toronto building technical tools with a designer. Excited to get a little more engaged in the community!
Quick question, does anyone have any resources or tools for validating an idea at an early stage, like a checklist or something? My partner and I tend to have so many ideas we think are interesting that we create our own choice fatigue haha.

Hey 👋,
I’ve been building products for years now and basically focusing on business development and product design side. During this pandemic I started my own independent work, I started building and crafting some ideas that I have been dreaming about of years ... So excited to be a part of IH and looking forward to be learning from you guys
Cheers

Hi I've been lurking around Indie Hackers for quite some time, but never posted anything.
I recently started outlining all the steps we've taken since the inception of our business, FlippedNormals https://flippednormals.com/.
I think it's amazing to see such an open and transparent community. I just want to share as much as I can and hopefully that inspires others and makes them aware that success is definitely an achievable.

Hi, everyone.
I am Maxim, Founder of Charges.pro and 7 years of a product manager on game products. I just started my product. It is a no-code platform that lets you start to sell subscriptions on a link.

Hi everyone, glad to be a part of this community. I'm a software engineer and I'm here to learn about building a successful product/business. Happy to join :D

Thanks for the introduction Rosie!

Hi all! I'm Kimmo Ihanus. A full-stack web developer and marketer from Helsinki, Finland. I'm currently building a solution that enables companies and developers to make location-based services without privacy headaches.

The privacy benefit comes from a technology that uses neural networks directly on the user's browser or mobile device to detect the current location without passing sensitive location-data to 3rd parties (as traditionally happens).

Our first browser integration is in the BETA-testing phase, and I'm looking for developers to test it, so we can analyze and understand whether this approach creates value.

You can check out the JavaScript integration here:
https://pointng.io

And read more here:

This is my first "serious" product launch, and as I'm a self-learned developer, it feels almost scary to launch such a complex technology that needs to solve a straightforward problem. I'm hoping to hear comments and feedback from people with experience. So, I'm super glad to join indiehackers and always ready to chat, learn, and exchange ideas.

olá, bom dia! sou um aspirante a empreendedor ainda não sei muito bem em qual nicho devo começar, porem sei que quero estruturar uma startup digital.

Hello, I've learned to build webapps (mainly with Django) as an entrepreneur, building a custom backend system, needed for my business. Since that's all up and running, there is time for me to finally play around again :-) I feel a strong urge to build more... I am totally in love with the process of building out functional ideas and currently I am tinkering on a new app idea. Hope to share it soon with this community.

Hi,

I am new here. I am Sanjeed from India.

Short Version:
Thank you @rosiesherry and the great community for being an inspiration.
University Student(not CS). First person to go the college from my family.
Know basics of coding. Don't know how to actually build something.
Here to learn how to build stuff and be inspired.
Looking forward to learning a lot from the amazing community!

Long version:
Thank you @rosiesherry and the great community for being an inspiration.
Studying in University (Biomedical Engineering - yes, it's an interesting field, but I am not interested in it sadly).
I'm the first person to go the college from my family. And I was with minimal access to the internet and even good books until I was 18. And it also gave me this highly risk aversive behaviour and a tendency to try to plan the future a lot (both of which I'm trying to come out of) - because I really do want to make my parents happy.

I've always wanted to build things (thinking of making eyewear with screens when I was in 6th standard - and Google did it in a few years). I know basics of coding, but not enough to actually build a product. I've been putting off learning to build due to the academic stress and the other opportunities via University(like Management Consulting or Random Finance Job - which I don't think is a life I'd like - but hey high career growth if you grind it out is what I told myself).
I feared I would miss those opportunities if I focused on this (opportunity cost).

I heard about Product Management very recently. Started reading about it thanks to the lockdown. And over the past few months, on days when I'm sitting and browsing ProductHunt at 1AM or reading Lean Product Playbook at 2AM, I've felt that I love products and this is what I wanna do in the near future. I've finally decided to follow the heart too rather than just the brain.

That's it for now.

So looking forward to learning a lot from this community and actually building something soon!

Hi, I've been doing software development since 1986 when I got my first computer. I only got serious about it 20 years ago though.

I'm tired of using my skills with the code for others and I am tired of applying my sense of what is good business to others. It is time to build something for myself!

I have tried and failed several times before, I have owned companies in the USA, Germany, Sweden, and been consulting all over the world.

Hello everyone! New around here, but keen to speak to new people and help the community. I run a software agency, Fluff Digital

Hello. I am a web developer and I joined here to learn how to create a sustainable product/service. Right now, I find it hard to come up with an idea and when I do, it already exists. I'm still starting and I hope to come up with a product by early 2021. My goal is to create a SaaS product that would help others. No idea of the product yet, just the idea of helping. It feels good when someone somewhere is using the product that you created.

Hi Everyone, I'm a full stack software engineer from the U.K.
Myself and small team have built a cloud-based collaboration tool for founders, bringing all the insights gathered through testing markets into one simple place to make building a venture simpler, faster, and more likely to succeed. Unlike other business tools, insights and outputs intelligently prepopulate analysis tools so founders can spend less time collating information and more time making informed strategic business decisions.

I'm here to meet some like-minded people and hopefully learn some things along the way. On another note, if anyone is interested in setting up a Beta account with us, please do reach out to me and I'd be happy to get you up and running.

Hi, I am here to learn and help others if possible....

Hello,
I was given this link since my aspirations are to work as a digital nomad. I have been learning how to code on my own through outlets such as YouTube, free code camp, udemy, we schools as well as stack overflow. Currently I am well versed in html and css and working with javascript. I am here to learn the steps I need to take further to accomplish my goal. Any and all help is definately appreciated.

Hello! I only recently found out about indiehackers; such a great place!

I'm co-founder at Shotstack.io and hoping we can get some solid feedback on the product we've been building over the last year.

The Shotstack API enables video editing at scale. The API allows you to build videos using JSON, and use your favourite programming language to render hundreds to thousands of data-driven videos concurrently in the cloud.

Take a look and let me know what you think :)

Hi! Came across Indie yesterday after looking for communities for startup builders. I had good success with a project I launched when bored at Uni a number of years ago (as with many, taught myself to code, best thing I ever did), then went away to do "actual job stuff", before more recently deciding I wanted to delve back into startup land.

Have a couple of projects I'm working on, and hoping to mingle with some like-minded people with complimentary skills who might be interested in teaming up on one of them. I've trodden the solopreneur path before, and may do again, but I like working with other people for inspiration and motivation.

Glad to be here :)

Hi people. I am joining this community because I want to be able to say by next year that I have a side project which makes some money. I have 4+ years of experience working in the semiconductor industry solving computing problems and working on the cutting edge. The problem, of course, is that I think I have lost touch (or never had it in the first place) with normal product development. On top of that I have no experience, or indeed motivation, to learn web technologies. I feel boxed in and would love to partner up with someone to complement their strengths.

Hi- I'm Justin. I'm a 17 year old kid looking develop a sense of entreprenuership and learn a few essential skills for the future. However, I just don't know where to start! Any advice or tips for what to learn and what to do?

hi, very new here just came in to learn from others business side of tech

Hey IndieHacker! Just found out about this site, and looking forward to join the community! I'm an iOS developer, currently working in the FinTech world, but looking to help grow some of my side projects!

I've been doing web development either as a primary job or as a side hustle for over 20 years. I haven't done anything serious in the side hustle area for about 10 years due to family obligations. Now that my daughters are older, I have the time to devote to it again. My work primarily focused on small businesses and non-profits. Although I still might continue some of that, I'd like to focus more on creating a product or saas business so I'm not trading hours for dollars. I often think about something my boss (at my day job) told me once, "at your age, you should be trying to multiply yourself instead of dividing yourself". I'm happy to have found this community, and I'm looking forward to participating.
