Welcome to Indie Hackers! (Week of Aug 15th)

Channing here from Indie Hackers. Welcome! đź‘‹

Here's how to get the most out your time here.

Make the community a better place

Indie Hackers is for connecting with like-minded people who want to build profitable online businesses.

To get the most out of the community, try helping to make it a better place. You can do that by starting and participating in interesting discussions.

If you start by giving, the community is designed to reward you in return.

How to start discussions

Head over to the home page and click the "New Post" button.

If there's something on your mind that you think will get people talking, simply type it out. The shorter the better. It helps if you ask a clear question in the title, or if you express your opinion.

Alternatively, if you read something elsewhere on the internet, you can start a discussion around that, too. Try submitting it as a link post. Indie hackers love discovering interesting new articles.

Good luck!

This is just the tip of the iceberg. If you need help submitting your first link post or starting your first discussion, let me know in the comments below.

Otherwise, I'm excited to see you the forum! Feel free to introduce yourself to everyone below. 🤗

    Hey all! I'm Will.

    I've been writing Procrastineur, a weekly newsletter telling the stories of cool folks like you, since April 2021. I'm 16 issues in and have 50 subs - I'd love to feature anyone wanting to talk about their awesome product.

    Can't wait to chat.

    Build on!

    Hi everyone đź‘‹

    Hi team! ✌🏻

    I am Gleb, CEO and founder at Gossip (https://thegossip.app), super excited to be here!

    What’s Gossip?

    • Gossip allows users to create and share voice stories that expire every 7 days. Because who want’s to listen to the old stuff?
    • We are at 500 MAU and growing, last month we had over 10,000 unique gossip plays!

    I am happy to help with anything related to social and AI!

    Also, I am scouting for shl.vc - drop me a note if you are raising!
    Best way to connect is via Twitter DMs (@glebbraverman)!

    Hi, I am Faheem, a Software Developer who works with JS. 9 hours a day stuck in an office gives me stress so I left in June to take a break. I had been wasting my time since July playing games.

    Starting a new contract from monday, which will be flexible and give me more freedom.

    And I also want to commit some personal goals for me:

    1. Make a small free side-product - already bought a theme.
    2. Commit to better health and lifestyle.
    3. Be active in the communities and social media.
    4. Spend some time on my abandoned YT channel and blog.

    Too much commitment, eh!

    Have a great day!

    Howdy, everyone.

    I am Giuseppe. I work in offensive IT security (pentesting, red teaming, and so on) and I am interested in anonymity and privacy matters.

    I have been an IndieHacker lurker for a while, and it inspired me to start my own business. Finally, today I joined (thanks to Courtland for the invite code!).

    My goal is to provide tools that can help people to stay safe on the Internet.

    Hi hackers, I am Bhavesh. Work in the space industry at a rocketry company by day but it's getting tiresome, I miss my freelance + inventor life from 3 years ago. Looking to get back in the game!

    Such a cool idea to send new folks to a weekly post like this. It's almost like being part of a cohort! Can't wait to see what everybody here ends up building!

    Hi 👍. I'm starting a new services company with a friend that aims to help other creators test, validate and grow ideas. We hope to build connections and find new friends. https://www.indiehackers.com/post/hey-all-im-tim-cofounder-of-trylane-let-s-explore-ideas-together-78073bd6a5

    Super excited to be here, thanks for this priceless resource!

    Hiii! I just quit my job and I just decided to go full-time Indie Hacking! My previous career is totally unrelated to this, so it's like I'm starting from scratch. I'm currently enrolled in a Full Stack Web Developer Bootcamp, so that's a starting point. The first project I guess is to do something similar to the $0 to $100k challenge that Florin Pop is doing (although not putting any deadline on mine). Hope to share my beginner's journey with everyone. See you around!

    PS. Huge thanks to Justin Hunter for gifting me one of his invite codes here. I was a total stranger to him but he shared it nonetheless. Appreciate it a lot, Justin!

    Hi, I'm a dev moving from junior to mid-level in experience and ability and been working in a high growth startup a couple years now. I am excited to try out some small-scale side projects and cultivate an indie hacker mentality. I'd like to have a goal I can commit to by the end of the year, and begin testing ideas in November/December.
