Why Indie Hackers is Not Developing/Improving?

I see a lot of room for a better IH. Here are a few suggestions:

1- Partner ups: This could be more than just posts. Why not actively match making between indie hackers here? For example, ask the indie hacker to fill out a form of what they are looking for in a partner then use some basic AI to connect 2 or more partners together. Also, provide them with tools to help kick-start their project (e.g. escrow accounts, agreement templates, ...etc)

2- Store: why not provide indie hackers sections in IH store to sell their products (something like Product Hunt)?

3- Add more media: People engage more with media content (videos, images, ...etc).

4- More saas tools to founders: Indie Hackers will benefit from tools that would help them reach more audience/clients (social listening tools like twitter mentions, bots, google scraper, directories ..etc)

5- Use AI to ask experienced indie hackers to respond to a posted question in return for some points. After hitting a certain number of points, they get a gift (e.g. top post spot, shout out, ..etc)

These are some examples of what could be done to improve IH. What do you think?

    Good question. I think Courtland is the only one actively working on Indiehackers codebase. You might want to chat with him directly!

      Would love to read @csallen 's feedback on this and also keep this post for more suggestions to improve IH.
