Welcome to Indie Hackers! (Week of Dec 12th)

Channing here from Indie Hackers. Welcome! πŸ‘‹

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. πŸ€—

    Thank you for the invite code, Channing!

    Hi everyone! I'm excited to be here. I've been in the industry a while (consultant for large tech corporations; followed up by tech lead spots at a few start-ups). I've always been responsible for developing other people's business ideas. Well, I have some great product ideas too, based on my experience, and I've got the itch to bring them to market myself - indie hacker style!

    I'm looking forward to meeting everyone here on IndieHackers!

    Happy Holidays.

    Hello IH! πŸ‘‹

    I just quit my job at a high paid product led startup to pursue the indie path.
    My first work as an indie was in bootstrapping a Saas for writers and publishers to meet and lead to books being published.

    Very nice to meet you all, let’s enjoy this journey together ✈️

    Hi everyone! πŸ‘‹ I am bootstrapping a Low-code SaaS solution with three friends. We aim to make flexible and configurable business rules management available to everyone. Our upcoming milestone is a private alpha launch, in January (using the xmas hols to blast through the remaining tasks :πŸ‘€ )

    I'm very excited to see all your ideas and developments and join in some discussions about bootstrapping, new tech, and my ultimate goal of uploading my brain to a computer and rule Earth from orbit...

    Hi everyone! I'm working on a new product launch, crowdfunding on Kickstarter starting Jan 4. We're about 6 months into the process of developing a browser-based version of a pdf planner with 1M+ downloads.

    Looking forward to more tips and trading support with other indie businesses.

    Hi Everyone!

    I'm completely new to coding but want to continue to push myself to be able to build my own products one day. I'm happy to be on this journey with you guys and wish you all the best!

    Hola! Dave here. I bootstrapped and sold my Ecommerce business last month. I'm now looking forward to creating a 100% online business / SaaS. Curious to learn :)

    Hello everyone!
    I am so glad, I just got my invitation code a few minutes ago after a few days of waiting... I can't wait - to share my idea, to discuss it, to improve it, perhaps to change it and I guess what I will like the most - building in public :-)
    My main job is teacher for math, science and computer science, I am developing software since I am 15 yrs old, but I never made a business out of it (although I had the idea a multiple times). So now... I really want to start a business!
    I'm really proud to be part of this community now!
    Thanks a lot and happy greetings from Austria, Stefan

    Hello guys!

    Can't wait to get started!:)

    I am a Business Development Representative in a marketing agency. I am passionate about business management, project management, sales, marketing, wealth management, sports, and so on. So, we can always discuss about those things:)

    Also, thinking of starting my own business/side hustle, but don't know what exactly. Hope that I will find a lot of good information or even a partner!

      Nice to meet you. We share a lot in common.

      Are you in the USA?

      1. 1

        Nope, I currently live in Lithuania.

    Hey everyone, I'm Aaron. I'm an ex-professional footballer turned entrepreneur. I'm very interested in working in the health-tech space as it's cool using skills to impact lives positively. I'm working in a team of 4 on an AI-driven therapy platform. We are launching our Alpha next month πŸš€ My role is Chief Commercial Officer.

    I've had experience with my own start-up, but unfortunately we had traction from our MVP but couldn't find a tech co-founder so I essentially left the project. But I joined my buddies on their project and I'm having a great time. We are approaching our first round of pre-seed funding.

    For our strategy is based on 5 stages of lean analytics (currently in stickiness stage)
    Our main goals are:

    • Acquire 500 users
    • Sign up 2-3 large B2B partners
    • Iterate on our platform and optimise monthly active usage rate

    What does everyone think?

      Hey @aaronreid, took a look at your site. Looks great and is well-positioned.

      Any chance you all will offer it to freelance coaches or solo-therapists as a SaaS platform for their individual use? Not for me, but can definitely see the possibility for those needing such a great habit/action tracker for their clients.

    Hi y'all. Love the vibe here and happy to be a part of this. I'm Daria, 2 time startup founder, previously employee #3 and head of content at Monday.com and now Pirate Queen at Spacemesh.io Looking forward to reading your insights.

    Hi everyone!

    Like many others' comments in past week's posts; I've too, been looking for a place to meet and connect with others in a space like this.

    I have an idea, plan, and rough roadmap for a community-first marketplace with multiple verticals I can scale over time.

    I do have no/low-code experience and am technical enough to do it on my own but as the saying goes "two heads are better than one". My expertise is in biz-ops, marketing/branding, and biz dev. I would rather be able to build and gain traction at the same time.

    If anyone or two people with skills that complement mine, I would be grateful to meet and share the idea.

    Those with UX/UI design, webflow, airtable, API, and no/low-code passion or experience would be awesome. The other person I hope to find is someone with experience in audio/video editing and/or creation.

    In any case, I am so stoked to be here and look forward to connecting!

    All the best
    Joshua
