Have you started working on or launched something new?
Share it in this thread for the chance to show it off and get feedback!
We have decided to work on a huge project (broken into tiny fun side projects)
Instead of doing the usual marketing writing blog posts etc I believe we excel at making cool free tools like https://saaspages.xyz/
I have a bunch of ideas that will all be under one brand.
All the tools will help founders and marketers either get new visitors or convert existing visitors to paid customers.
I will have more to share in the next few weeks.
Also signed up for https://clubhouse.io/ lets see how that goes.
It’s the fun, simple and useful tools that have the max potential for Product hunt launches. I’ve heard this on IH sooo many times!
I strive to do something similar to saaspages with my SaaS4Devs project.
100% just write down the problems you run into and then if one is easy to build and stands out, built it :)
Any plans to convert it into a website?
I’d like to turn it into a website, but I keep questioning if it’s even worth it given the time investment needed.
I’m OK building free stuff for people as long as they’re useful or helpful.
I think I need some validation.
How did you validate saaspages?
I saw tons of landing page inspiration sites do very well on PH and have great traffic.
I used them myself.
But they all didn't solve my problem. I needed websites by blocks/sections not by page.
So I knew if I had that problem others would as well.
Wow very nice.
Thank you for the insight :)
Hey,
I recently launched Fifty. It started as a post here on Indie Hackers and has since grown into an indie hackers product discovery site listing about 185 awesome indie hacker projects.
The tagline reads, Indie Hacker projects described in 50 characters or less., which is what Fifty is all about - explaining your idea to the world as efficiently as possible.
Aslo, community upvotes (thank you @nosduh for the suggestion 🙌 ) just went live on Fifty today - take a look.
It's been so much fun working with all the amazing projects & indie hackers - this community is doing amazing work.
Best of luck to everyone 🧡
Cheers,
Hessel
Nice addition!
Hey Hassel, I hope tubda is listed on your project. LOL.
Nope not yet - but feel free to add it here, I'd love to get Tubda on there 🙌
Just went live with https://www.firewards.com - a newsletter referral system similar to the one you know from The Morning Brew. Will provide some more information on it on IH soon :)
🙌
LOVE THIS
I'm working on an app to take help indie hackers form deeper connections with other indie hackers.
As someone who works by himself (remotely, full-time) on my business, I understand the value of having a strong network but it's hard to make time for it.
I get a lot of value from IH, but I've never made a true friend from it. It's hard to go from screenname to friendship. I think regular video calls will change that.
So I'm working on an app where you set aside 1 hour per week and it matches you up with 3 other people for 1:1 video conversations, 15 minutes each.
Second that, would love to see this when it’s finished / or even before if you ever want any looks at it!
Hey @lshadowl I just created the landing page here: https://joinhivemind.com/
Let me know what you think!
Hey @ZakMiller, I really like the landing page!
I think it does a really good job of explaining what it is and It's not too overwhelming. I can give you a few things that you can maybe take a look at,
-The section with the A VC network without the VC is really nice but then VC is never mentioned in the site, maybe the could say something like line below it?
-The Tweets scroll really quickly I couldn't follow along really, There isn't a way to control it or pause it if something catches my eye.
-The explanation of the service is amazing I love it, It gave me everything I needed really easily.
-I love the subscription ( I signed up :)
-I do have a question though is the pricing and everything set?
Im looking forward to the site being live!
That's encouraging :) I'll let you know when it launches!
This would be useful for me! Please keep me posted when you launch.
Hey @kennethwchen I just created the landing page here: https://joinhivemind.com/
Let me know what you think!
Hey @ZakMiller, congrats on finishing the landing page!
A few things I think could improve:
Overall, I think you are on the right track, maybe just need a little fine tuning. Keep grinding :)
Will do :)
Signed a contract with a development company to build the final bits of socialremix.co (which has been dormant under a different name for over a year because of lack of development). So technically not "new" but in a sense been given new life.
Started westcoastsports.substack.com to start building an audience for a West Coast Sports Media brand. 50 free subscribers so far after three editions. Still open for feedback.
🙏 I started working on and then launched https://Slick.events in June.
With Slick.events you can create event websites, sell tickets and collect registrations - from Google Sheets.
I have noticed that many event organizers end up downloading the registration information to a spreadsheet which is shares with others that help organize the event - these spreadsheets quickly become out of date.
So I though why not skip a step and do it all from A Google Sheet :)
I would love to hear your feedback on it!
Cheers!
This week we launched Reflect & Reset (https://www.reflection.app/reflect-and-reset), a project our team has been working on for the last few months — and is, in many ways, a culmination of our last decade of work in self-reflection and personal growth.
Reflect & Reset is a free 14-day guided journaling experience combining inspiring writing prompts and the easy-to-use digital journal experience in Reflection.app.
With so much change in the world, we feel there is no better time to reflect on what’s meaningful and reset your approach to the world around you.
Dokolio - Private Markdown presentations on Blockchain 🚀
dokolio.com is an experimental project for creating presentations on the blockchain. Presentations are created with markdown. It's free for everyone with unlimited and secure storage using #blockchain. I developed this project to use Blockstack.
I've launched today http://apispot.io/
Any feedback is welcome.
I decided to build a web version of my "Today - Digital Agenda" mobile app. Got it released yesterday 🎉
It's still in beta but free to use :)

Hi Rosie. You know how companies go through a lot of expenses and hassle in finding and working with a good graphic designer. We save them from it.
We started a design company called Engagebound (https://www.engagebound.com/). Small business, startups and agencies face a lot of issues in creating good graphic designs for them and their clients. While good graphic designers charge a lot of money, there is additional hassle in communicating, revisions (sometimes additionally charged) and zero satisfaction check.
We are solving that issue with Engagebound by providing:
Plus, we have your satisfaction in check by providing a 7-day free trial. Don't pay anything while signing up and request designs to find how you like the experience with us.

Would love to know your thoughts!
I’m running a private beta for Mumu and just reached a feature parity for the app. Hopefully it would be launched soon by the end of this week or early next week.
I’d love to hear if you have any feedback on the positioning and landing page copy, or probably anything in between.
Cheers! 🍻
IMO I'd reduce the length of the gif. Cut out the "are you ready" parts, maybe.
Hey all,
Launched 2 days ago a way to get weekly video life stories from your loved ones.
I think a lot of us have parents and grandparents that we all want to keep around as much as possible. Hearing their stories, getting to know them more and enabling all this when families live far apart or are under quarantine.
Check it out:
https://getepilog.app/
Would love feedback any and all feedback!
I first acquired the code in March. Gathered the team in May and hopefully Alpha ver. is live -the first week of July. If you are on LinkedIn take a look at the landing page and subscribe to get the invitation > www.leaddelta.com <

Not a product, per se, but I got my business (Marketing agency) up-and-running.
We made our first hire this past week, an office, and signed good client. We're already planning on the next client/s. Hopefully, in July we can make a hire ... even if it's part-time or freelance.
Hi Rosie, yes, I have just created the following news feed for my brother Knights of Columbus on the eLink.io platform. What do you think?
https://elink.io/97e7c85
We have just opened our product to the public — a chatbot that helps to collect video clips from people on Facebook and creates a single video out of those clips. All done right in Facebook Messenger.

I am working on Randator, https://randator.com, a one step brand name generator for your projects, websites, products, services, companies and so on. You can also check if social media usernames and website domain name (with different extensions) is available.
Let me know if you find it useful to look for brand names for your new projects, I would also appreciate any feedback 😊
I launched my gaming-related project >>> trofy.io <<<.
It's a fun way to turn your clips into challenges (like achievements) that other people can then try and complete.
I have a feedback form linked on the site so I'd appreciate any tips or comments, or if anyone knows people who might be interested it would mean the world to me if they could check it out. Thanks!
Built a server-side analytics solution to track visitors for my projects without cookies or JS. It's a bot that reads Nginx logs and reports to a web app.
Not really sure how to proceed beyond own use, but have convenient install scripts and willing to let people try it as beta. Screenshot in thread

For the first time in my life, I've started side project not on my buisness insights, but purely on tech ideas I would like to implement and work with. That's how Comet [1] - PHP framework for building REST APIs - was born :)

Very cool, I will try it 😀👌
Launched on April 26! We launched Belongery.com to foster a community where members belong. So far we’ve seen some good traction with little outreach. It’s a place to share positive moments going on or that went on in our life. Check it out! 🙌
I just finished an MVP of calmdog, it's an app to help your dog learn to chill. I honestly have no idea what my next move is. I have a great MVP that I'm using daily and I shared it with a few friends but none of them are in my target audience.
There are a few subreddits that I know would love it (that's where I got the idea) but I don't feel ready to show them yet. Anyways, check it out and let me know what you think, especially if you have a dog who just can't chill.
take one step at a time. nobody knows what they are doing when they start smth. enjoy that incertitude, experiment a lot and be public about it. i dig your app. keep at it.
Thanks for the advice. I can do that. Today's step was to share about it here.
awesome thanks for doing that. i know about it now. that s progress. i m here if you need any other feedback.
I started writing 1,000 words every single day for my book https://adhdpro.xyz/
Miraculously I haven't stalled.
My email list has tripled during this time, and I just released a sample chapter to some fantastic feedback. Feels good to be a "real" author :-)
I’m writing a collection of the best resources I’ve found over time regarding SaaS, especially tailored for developers. For now it’s a GitHub repo, will see what the future holds!

I started Phoenix Down where I showcase previous failed projects from awesome entrepreneurs, so other founders are more aware that failure is just a step towards their goal.
Just released the first story on Friday!
Dude that’s awesome! I tried to sign up but couldn’t... I’ll save the link for now. Keep it up!
Thanks for the kind words Nicolas! It's weird that you couldn't sign up, could it be that Ghost only sends links valid for 10mins?
I might have disabled cookies by mistake. Tried it again now and it worked ;)
I have a habit of disabling cookies, I always forget that Metomic disables essential cookies by default. It’s so confusing 😅
Pivoted to a platform to connect startups with early adopters https://melbado.com/. Feel free to submit your startup as well.
I started creating a book of baby girl names this month. For an in-coming 👼🏻 come winter. 🙃
Congrats! I have two girls, be sure to add Eloise and Piper as names into the book ;)
Thanks! Eloise and Piper are beautiful names. I'll definitely include! ❤️
that's a big moment. congrats man.
thanks for the compliments @Bodi. ❤️
well if you compile a book of baby girl names - you should be a master dad - at naming girl daughters. Me and my wife are expecting a daugter as well - what s your input ? - any suggestions ? :d
i'll throw the book at you as soon as it is ready!
my wife and i have been changing our top choice every week. it is such a pain! for a day every name feels beautiful until the next one comes around. i can't take this anymore! 😂
Started working on https://linq.bio in February and launched this weekend. Please take a look around, sign up and let me know what you think! If you're curious to see what a Premium account has to offer, use this coupon for one month off: indie1month
This is cool, I'm curious how do you plan on differentiating from the other big players like linktree etc?
Hey Rosie!
Well, yeah. I am working on this.
Https://www.wickedtemplates.com
I am still working on it though...
keep at it. everything you did looks amazing.
Thank you ! How kind of you !
Not really a SaaS project but I got sick and tired of using Goodreads to manage my reading list so I created Startupbookslist.com! Now every book that I have read after being recommended here or in other places is there for other entrepreneurs to read!
I am launching a newsletter to help people bootstrap a profitable side business:

Do share your thoughts 🙂
tractific.com - It has been 15 days... Time flies when you're having fun!
Despite Covid in Los Angeles, I started to go to protests again.
