What are you building this weekend?

I'm building self confidence. Convincing myself that I can give real value to an specific niche

"Why did the developer go broke?
Because he lost his cache flow! 😅

Building Flouq - https://flouq.com - Simple task managing for freelancers

Sounds like a cool project!

I built an AI app within 24 hours of OpenAI releasing the GPT-4 Vision API. It lets users upload images and get creative captions for social media. Going to polish it up this weekend 🙌🏼

hey Karthik!

Not exactly "this weekend" but I built and shipped the "icebreakers suite" in 2 days this week. It provided a much-needed break from the other, more complex apps I'm currently working on :)

I'm planning on polishing a few things this weekend!

We launch 700 .tools for waitlist , its limited spots to 700!

I am building the GPTs Hunt. Seems like we are the largest GPTs website for now. I am still new to this forum so I can't post a link. Our website is gptshuntai

Continue working on some SEO material, as well as code improvements, for JustFax Online: https://justfax.online

I'm in process of coming up with a next app idea today. I'd like to build a no-code constructor for digital products - a tool that would allow non-technical developers to do the end-to-end process from an idea to a ready product that they can monetize.

I'm currently scoping down what to aim at. This thread is actually very helpful, as I see what you guys build so I also get inspired about the possible niche for my constructor!

I'm cleaning up my website email protection tool veilmail.io . It prevents your email address from being scraped and spammed. Would love to get your feedback on VeilMail

I am building a directory and search engine for GPTs called AwesomeGPTs.pro
with more than 4000 GPTs included currently...

This weekend is dedicated to coming up with a idea for the next side project.

I run an API service: BounceBadger.com
Basically, it verifies if an email address is valid or not.

You can integrate this API in your signup forms, newsletter forms, registration forms, basically any type of forms where emails are required to be entered.

So far, i am more focused on marketing. I am trying multiple thinge/channel to understand which will work for me.

Currently it is published on rapidAPI.
Many developers have started using my API's free plan. I am trying to get my first paying customer. :)
Let me know if someone is looking to try it out.
I am happy to help!

Building a directory of places to launch a SaaS startup called Launch Point Zero

https://launchpointzero.com

If you are looking to launch your own project this is a great place to get good information.

I'm working on improving "My canned responses" Chrome extensions: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hoclmlpahcajenbojpebajooadcaanel

Will create an API to allow users to save their responses to the cloud and of course some UI/UX improvments.

I am building https://gemfilecheck.com/, tool for Ruby developers, to keep an eye on vulnerabilities in their projects

After looking away from AI for the longest time I decided it's time to be humble and try out a product idea I have with AI in the loop. Let's see how this goes. I'll post it here once I'm done polishing it a bit. Hopefully, it's gonna be out for beta by next week :)
It's gonna be Discord + AI and more

I am working on a student AI app for students to interact with PDFs, Transcribe lectures, Solve problems, create PPTs, would love to have inputs from other indie hackers if only the platform allowed me to create a post !!!!!

I am working on "Resourc" a site for sharing tech resources. I am just enjoying the creative process and not worry about customer or something like that. But maybe soon I will need to do that. resourc dot tech

Hey Karthik,

I'm gonna start working on my first product today - a product demo/workflow video creator.

Good luck with Indiedeals

I'm building my social media presence. @gio_zarko on twitter

I never really paid attention to social media.
I think it's time to go out there and build in public or at least be active in the places people are.

At the same time, I'm spending time building productivity tools for Django developers, being one myself.

Working on final implementation tasks of Tidyrise

Building flowers dot yoga, or the landing page at least. It's an intelligent yoga sequence generator, powered by AI obviously. Almost ready to launch so I can validate demand and market.

Working on a web app in the web design space :)

Independently developed and launched the first website of my life.

I've build an electron application, to let you can just commit and push your codes with a finger snap!

Been working on my new startup idea, a workflow AI management tool for creating social media posts out of long articles you write

A carbon footprint calculator here!

Wow, that's an awesome project, congrats on launching! 🙌

This weekend I started writing my first book / course after helping some fellow B2B SaaS founders with their sales and marketing launch plans. Working title: "Getting Your First 100 Customers - A Framework for Bootstrapped B2B SaaS Founders". Logging my progress here: https://getmakerlog.com/users/jphagen

I've been working on my email outreach for indie hackers solution called indiepitcher.com. Been running it as a part of my other project (didn't want to pay $50 / month for Instantly or Lemlist) and decided to turn it into it's own thing. You can send or schedule emails through an API, get analytics on open rates, and allow easy unsubscribes.

Working on an app called BuildID in the construction space :)

We (x account: thumbnailpeak) are actively working on a trending topics tool. The first milestone is that users put a query and then see a graph with past 5 years' google search volume. ETA is 2 weeks.

I am building Holoib - It allows users to create interactive product demos within minutes.

I am building support groups for people suffering with ADHD, depression, anxiety etc in India. Do let me know if any of you are interested to join the group for next weekend.

Building a one-stop solution that helps content creators monetize their expertise while building a strong and close community of supporters. (Well! it’s like OnlyFan but you’d sell your brainpower instead 🫣

I'm building Founder OS. Founder OS helps founders leverage proven systems to automate their business and get to $5M profit per year. We give founders clarity, connection, and community to have more fun and win their niche.

Building a personalized newsletter generator, Newslater (https://newslater.co), and launching the new article categories today. If I get time, I'll tackle the landing page too as it's been bugging me !

Hi there!

I'm building Statussync a web platform that aggregates all third-party service uptime and incident reports into a single dashboard, notifies you when a service is down, and aids in the documentation of past incidents.

statussyncdotdev

Adding the ability to embed your openai GPTs to your website over on https://chatcatai.com :)

It seems like you're doing something exciting by creating Indiedeals, a directory showcasing deals from Indiehackers. Building a platform in public is a great way to share your journey and involve the community.

Remember, promoting deals and encouraging submissions for Black Friday offers can be a fantastic way to attract more attention and participation. It might be beneficial to reach out to various startups or app developers directly, inviting them to submit their deals to your directory.

If you're looking to engage your audience further, you could consider:

Content Engagement: Encourage discussions about the kind of deals people are working on or seeking this weekend.

Networking: Reach out to different startups and Indiehackers to source a diverse range of deals for the directory.

Regular Updates: Continuously update your audience on the progress of Indiedeals and any interesting findings or deals that get featured.

Keep the momentum going and best of luck with Indiedeals! If you need any more suggestions or guidance, feel free to ask.

How do you balance between work and personal life, also are you working for 9-5 job?

I'm adding some offline functionality to gymbuddy.ai
https://gymbuddy.ai

I am building makemap.co a shop to turn your sport activities and memories into personalized posters.

I am building SlickWid.com! It is a promotional video creation tool for your products, launches, and social media campaigns.

I'm building a service for turning any google sheet into a RESTful API.

Hey Karthik! I've started my new newsletter today - afterfive.substack.come
Rolling in the first email today at 5:05 PM IST!

I am building some cool features from the feedback of our creators and coaches for EzyCourse.

-Ability to send push notification to mobile app, web push notification and email when they publish a new lesson in broadcast campaign
-Ability to share lesson anywhere so that if you are enrolled, you will watch otherwise taken to sales page

So, I decided to do something new and pretty daring. I am thinking of doing a MVP service for mobile, web and SaaS apps. '

I tried building several apps. But it was just for myself with a few for others.

So with that in mind, ready to build a LinkedIn, being more active in communities like Indiehackers and Twitter (X). I already have a landing page but I just need to a name haha..

So if anyone has an idea, let me know!

So my weekend is going into planning. I am working on a project that I have yet to do the landing page but changing the direction I take in launching fully end to end so spent most of the time with domain, hosting a vm with nginx and cert bot, setting A records, working with brand design research, chosing option with a designer for wireframes with next week being landing page setup and posting updates to get insight from others to guide and make sure it gets the messages across so plugging away.

FYI the process will be documented here: https://www.indiehackers.com/product/chnge (expect to see nothing at the moment on the domain but will post on the link as I update for building in public and the journey)

Other than that spent the weekend starting it by building a tool in python consuming recording to get transcription using whisper, mainly to guage cost and see why others charge what they do for transcription services but all in all a productive weekend.

Building a theme to add to https://lexingtonthemes.com
https://twitter.com/Mike_Andreuzza/status/1723423852720496693?s=20

I'm trying to integrate scheduling and AI : to help businesses make bookings more easily without the human input

Working on marketing my Shopify app, Snapshot.

I know this is a really cool, valuable product I just need to figure out how to get this message across to merchants effectively.

I am working on a real-estate web app for document sharing. Using MariaDB, Nginx on Linux Ubuntu server with simple HTML/CSS/Javascript on the front end. The stack is complete with Vely framework for the back-end, which is my favorite now, after I ditched Node.js.

I recently launched lovetalesnaija. ng

It is a website where people can read African romance stories. I have about 70 users with over 2,000 chapters of stories read.

I am waiting on Google adsense approval so I can start monetization.

I built an 'idea generator' process using PRAW to grab reddit posts and Chat GPT 4 to analyze the results. Might make a post soon if I don't find one that mentions something similar first :) Thanks for sharing Indiedeals, looks great!

I've finished the first version of a new product I'm building called Sheet API: https://sheetapi.rest/ It converts Spreadsheets into REST APIs.

It is a known field for me because I've already made something similar and sold it.

My non-compete clause has ended this year, and I plan to return to the field with a new product with some added features.

I've also made a newsletter to share the revenue and other inside details with the community here: https://sheetapi.rest/insider-newsletter

I've been working on a pretty large feature that requires changing some data formatting. So this weekend I'm testing backward compaitiblity and ensuring nothing in the production will be affected by the new feature.

Built PixelGen, not over a weekend though.

It's a tool that makes generating images using AI easier. There's be no need to write long paragraph prompts.

We were working with Midjourney and the likes and figured that knowing what keywords to try next was exhausting. Also, had to constantly copy the prompt and paste it in a text file where the images were downloaded. So built PixelGen. Users simply choose a few keywords and generate images. We maintain a history of the chosen keywords, and the variations of images.

Would love to hear your feedback on the usefulness of the tool, pricing and UX.

New to Indie hackers, so I'm guessing I need to earn my way to post links. If you're curious to try the tool, trying googling for PixelGen art. Should be the link with pixelgen and art in it.

Here are some tips:

1. Please don't skip the demo.
2. Please please set the image count to 1, it's defaulted at 4. We're bootstrapped and cannot afford to give you more free credits.
3. Try the "Surpris me" button
4. "Portraits" palette is our favourite.

Not building but launching. We were bothered by the fact that modern cloud service providers don't really "fit" the needs of indie developers. So we implemented NoSQL database, Key-Value Storage and Logger services in Conserve Cloud (conserve. cloud), which we think can be critical in development processes, and these services are incredibly easy to use! We made these services available to indie developers for the first time (we were providing private services before) with zero configuration (you just name your resources) and unlimited use for one fixed monthly price. I hope it will be good for everyone.

I'm mapping out the user journey for someone to purchase my product as a gift for someone else. It's a little complex. Anyone built this before?
