Welcome to Indie Hackers! (Week of Apr 11th)

Hello All! -- I am new to indie hacking! I would like to be able to create some type of reoccurring monthly revenue that will eventually replace my 9-5. I know this will take time and consistency. I have been working on building an audience on Twitter.

I am currently working on an app to mimic the experience of an expensive meal -kit service by leveraging online grocery ordering systems like Stop and Shop Peapod.

Hello all, just landed into this amazing community.
Trying to learn how you guys are spreading the word of what you build and learn how you iterate leaner and faster.

My goal of 2021 is to live off the app I created - https://www.basketstatsapp.com/ and continue gaining traction.

Hey Guys!
Stoked to be here!

Constantly on the look-out for sources of passive income. I have a few product/ business ideas would love to get feedback on.

I am an industrial designer with a focus on design research, product design, furniture design and installation art. I have worked on creating design solutions for urban and rural target audiences, for IOT, FMCG as well as localised brands, working with a wide range of materials.

Hello Everyone, I've been working on a Content Discovery and Content Curation SaaS product. Very excited for launch. But before launch would love to have some feedback from fellow indiehackers who are into content curation and social media management.

Hi everyone- I am new & looking to learn!

I recently made $1000 with a PH launch and have 1300 newsletter subs. I used some of that money to buy @stephsmith's e-book which led me to this community. I'm looking to scale my newsletter content into a full-time revenue, and want to learn more about websites, newsletters, marketing, and online content creation in general!

Hey all, Jacob here. I've been working on an in-browser video editor for the past 3 months and I'm writing this comment to hold me accountable to launching it by the 1st of May.

Hello guys :D
So greatful to have just found this online community. Just finished my studies in innovation last summer, worked as a freelance for 2 months, and then decided to work full time with my best friend on 1 objective : building our first successful business in less than a year.

We are located in France. We know that we are going to learn a lot from other Indie Hackers and it's gonna make us go faster for sure ! Can't wait to start some interesting discussions with you all ;)

So happy to be part of this community.

Hello smart people! I am here to learn about startups and business in general while working on one idea.

Grt!

That's what am about. Sharing tips on building your thing.

Hi Community,

I'm a Software Engineer. At work, I've primarily worked on front end engineering challenges.

I'm building a hackernews like aggregation service for writers, readers, literature enthusiasts. I'm taking inspiration from lobste.rs for features and indie hackers for both UI and features. I started a couple of days back. I went through a course by Lee Robinson and decided to use firebase's services ( authentication, firestore, cloud functions ), Next.js and Vercel ( for hosting ) as my tech stack.

I have no monetary expectations at the moment from the product, I'm just thinking of showing the current expenses to run the website, and leave a 'donate' button. I'm a literature person. I like to read, short fiction, poems in particular. I've a lot of ideas about collaborative tools ( like this poetry editor I made, topped with live multi person audio channel features for workshops or co writing ), to add on top of this project as time progresses. For now I'm focussing on an MVP with least about of features required. Looking forward to finish it by next week ( 25th April ).

The reason I think this project might become successful through a properly thought out marketing effort is because I see a lot of good poetry and story telling instagram accounts get a lot of followers, and a lot of individual magazines publishing their newsletters. People like to read good literature, this tool will become a one stop publicly mass curated solution for people to read what others are reading, so that they wouldn't have to be limited by cocoon of people they follow on Instagram, or newsletters they've subscribed to, which are very hard to miss in the endless stream of mails.

Looking forward to hearing any words that you might have on this :) And also excited about what you all are building.

Hi all, Im a final year computer science student trying to get some projects going and see where it takes me!

Hi there! Finally joined IH community as I'm starting my 12 months indie hacking journey to work on some products I've waited way too long to give them a try. Follow along for updates :)

Hello! I am a design student who is trying to learn some code so that I could create a website where it is easy for newly graduated high school students to research prospective universities in my country.

I live in a developing country so information for this is not readily available. This would be my first ever proper project that I feel passionate about and I would love any tips that could help me on my journey!

Hello all, i am new here. I hope get something here.

Awesome Channing Allen, excited to be here, already feel the energy.

I'm already making $5k-$10k per month with little bit of work, I want to get into SAAS do $1Million per month in profits, I'm great at marketing over internet and looking for a trustable gifted developer willing to go all in with me.

Hey all, I'm currently working on creating ebooks based on what I'm already working on at my full-time gig. I recently published an ebook called Design Systems for Developers and am looking to increase its sales.

Hello everyone , Ia m here for learning new and amazing things.

Hello - I have been watching from the sidelines and particularly listening to the podcasts, finding it all very interesting. I have been in the software industry for the past 10 years holding various roles recently Chief Operations Officer of one startup in London and currently the Chief Product Officer of another startup. I'm convinced that many of us face the same problems all the time so I'm hoping to research with this community. As part of this, I am keen to speak with any indie hacker about challenges they face - maybe I have seen it before and can help. The exchange is research for me, free advice for you. My experience covers product, finance, hiring, AWS and all the multitude other things we run into... drop me a message if you'd like to chat.

Hello Indie Hackers -- I am trying to kill my own frustration by hacking and building. My goal is just to get more things done. Simple, but not easy.

Hope to learn from you all.

Good morning! I'm an SEO consultant and have had a side hustle going for 3 years plus. I've found that whatever you are passionate about, their are others interested in it also and many of them wish they knew as much as you do. Ask them to pay you to share that knowledge with them and create a tribe where everyone helps one another learn more. It's a perfect formula.

Hey guys,
I was tired of paying awful high rent because we couldn’t buy a house as a result of our poor credit. I went online and I read a lot of good things about ACETEAM so I contacted him via his email; (aceteamcredit AT gmail DOT com). I explained all my poor credit problems to him and he promised to help get my credit straight . He deleted all the negative items and eventually raised my score to 795. We bought a new home and we are living happily ever after as a family. you can also call him on this number +1 929 236 4858

Hello everyone. I am new here and honestly a newbie when it comes to building a business. I have been a software engineer for over 10 years and I am hoping I can make money for myself rather than making money for someone else long term.

Looking forward to getting involved within the community.

After some years working as a BPM/SOA consultant for different companies and many others as the CEO of an agency (tipicaweb.com), soon I will be launching a company to offer DevOps services for clients who need to enhance their infrastructure in the cloud: taops.io.

I will be sharing my progress over here and also will try to be helpful whenever I can.

Hi,

Long time listener, first time caller checking in. I’m currently building several things. The hope is to one day have enough revenue streams that, combined, will let me quit my day job.

When I’m not working, building things online, I’m an avid runner. Marathons are my jam, and I’m looking to lower my PB as much as possible before Father Time catches up to me 😅

Of course, one of the things I’m working on is a website and weekly newsletter all about running.

If anyone else is into running, be sure to hit me up. Tbh it’s pretty much all I think about, all day, every day 😏

Thanks for your

Hey everyone! New here, excited to be here.

Hey everyone, I sincerely hope everyone is safe and healthy in this weird time 🙏 - I built a little web app called Sparel - https://sparel.app/ - it's here to help people solve every day problems using the practices of science. Originally for scientists and engineers, only to find that it works for other problems too! Looking forward to learning more about how to grow in this journey!

Hey everyone, Dan here. I've been running a software development agency for the past 5 years and we are pivoting our business to focus on our own product that we just launched, Tether. I am here to help founders with any development-related questions, focused on setting the correct scope for a project and how to implement a process for getting product out the door.

Hey there! I'm Dan founder of BuiltOnAir the best corporate training for Airtable.

Hey everyone! New to the site. I run a start-up based in London that (If we nail it) will accelerate the transition to sustainable products for everyday people. We have secured funding from the national innovation fund (Innovate UK) and we intend to launch our Alpha this Summer.

If anyone knows an excellent data scientist that maybe interested in becoming a founding member of a sustainable start-up, please do forward them my way! :)

I think I'll continue to use this site to provide advice to those in similar positions, it'd be great to hear the thoughts of so many people.

Good luck everyone.

Hey guys,

I want to be self-employed and work on my own project, which brings me enough money to be independent from an employer.

As for now I am working with a friend of mine on an IOT-platform, which should be used for monitoring of batteries (from an e-bike battery to batteries, which are used by solar-parks).

I am glad to learn from this community as well as sharing my own expirience.

Currently looking into starting on a project. Hopefully, I could find someone to partner with.
Hit me up!

Hello , very happy to join, want to build a SaaS for marketing

Hi indie hackers, happy to join you in this community.
We realized that during these times, every single expense kept going down ... besides food and real estate. We couldn't fix real estate, so we focused on food 🙃

Hi there 👋, excited to be finally joining, been lurking for way too long.

Currently building a SaaS for creating product tours, that help you onboard users and increase adoption. I'm sure there will be many things to learn and share there.

OK, so I think I've always been vaguely aware of IndieHackers...but why didn't it click sooner? An article from the Ghost newsletter brought me here, and glad to have arrived.

Thanks Channing
