Who are you Indie Hackers?

What are you doing in your day job? πŸ™‚
Are you developers? product managers? sales?

Just curious...

I’m working 80% as Frontend Guild Master in an internet company, and 20% on my startup Common Ninja (https://www.indiehackers.com/product/common-ninja).

    I am a cat.
    Nice to meet y'all.

    Father of two, Product dev, working on my own, building and selling web components. Income can now sustain my family, last consulting contract ended this month πŸŽ‰

    1. 2

      You own building, as of β€œphysical” building? What kind of web components are you selling?

      1. 1

        I’ve added a comma :D

        Mostly highly interactive file upload and editing components, see profile for URLs or check https://pqina.nl/

        1. 1

          Oh, that makes much more sense now πŸ˜„

  3. 2

    Senior Fullstack Developer πŸ‘¨β€πŸ’» 100% Remote πŸ“‘ mostly working with React, Python (Django), PHP, MySQL, Shell scripting.
    Love my day job, but also I love bootstrapping on my free time πŸ•Ή

    I'm a freelance front end developer specializing in Vue.js πŸ˜€
    I love to travel and go rock climbing!

      Are you also working on a side project?

      1. 1

        Currently I am "thinking" about what I want to do .... But short answer, yes. I just launched a blog (www.adventureinmyveins.com) where I interview rock climbers and mountaineers who earn their income as digital nomads - the concept is to show / teach / inspire travellers and climbers how to build a sustainable living / lifestyle around the creative / digital industries. Pretty hyper-niche, I know, but it's something I'm passionate about because I love to travel, but in the past I would always come home broke from an amazing world trip ... I learned to code so I could travel, climb and explore the world in a more sustainable way.

        1. 2

          Hyper-niches are the best IMO :)

          And that's a great motivation for learning to code.

  5. 1

    I am software engineer. Currently technically a contractor working on Elixir backend.

  6. 1

    I'm a developer. Me and my team primarily work in the infrastructure space, helping teams be effective by providing the best infra and tools and continuously aiming for the same by evolving solutions and doing migrations to better infra and tools :)

    1. 2

      Sounds good. Any interesting tool to share in this area?

      1. 1

        I do quite some open source work - https://github.com/karuppiah7890

        My team also created a tool which is an opinionated alternative for helm (github.com/helm/helm) built on top of helm to help with managing multiple helm releases (deployments) at large scale with ease, with DRY and some good community plugins. It's yet to be open sourced though

    Nice to meet you Daniel! Common Ninja looks like a pretty great idea. Are most of your users on Wordpress or is it a mix? I just jumped to full-time on https://divjoy.com

    1. 1

      Also, divjoy looks like a really useful product!

      I would go even further with this concept and let you select common modules for routing, state management, etc.

      1. 1

        Thanks Daniel! So do you mean being able to pick exact router like React Router, Reach Router, etc and state management like Redux, plain React state, etc? I've been a bit unsure how deep to go on customization options like that.

        1. 1

          Exactly! You may add it as an "Advanced" option and let users add / remove modules as they want.

    2. 1

      πŸ‘‹

      It’s a mix. Some are from Wordpress, others from Wix and other site builders.

      1. 1

        Gotcha, makes sense!

    Hey y'all, I'm Le! I'm a student at Wharton studying new prod dev and entrep, will be graduating in May. Beyond my college life, I'm working on thegoodstartup.com and am trying to figure out how to innovate products that save the world. Really want to use my skills and blessings for the good of the planet :)

    I love to work out, read, and learn about anthropology, psychology, and design. I like to prototype ideas for fun and love online shopping. I'm also a freelance content marketing strategist and writer, so definitely hit me up for anything!

    1. 2

      That’s really inspiring! πŸ™‚

    100% remote senior data engineer during the day, "freelance" data engineer helping my former employer with 1- or 2-hour tasks on a weekly basis, and Indie Hacker in the remaining free time.

    1. 1

      Sounds tough. But I guess that the fact that you’re working remotely gives you some flexibility with your side project?

      1. 3

        Yep! The lack of commuting saves a whole lotta time.

      You may always go back to partial time job so you’ll have time to work on your own stuff. Right?
