Influencer Hub
All your creators. One feed. No algorithms.
I’ve been noticing a pattern in my own behavior and wanted to sanity‑check it with people here.
Most mornings I bounce between a few different apps just to see what a small set of creators posted. I open one app to check one or two people and end up in recommendations or “for you” feeds, then realize I’m not even sure I saw the posts I came for. It feels like a lot of friction just to keep up with maybe 15–20 specific voices I actually care about.
That’s made me wonder whether “feed fragmentation” is a real problem or just me over‑optimizing my own habits.
I’m curious how others here experience this:
If you follow the same people across multiple platforms, do you feel any pain from that, or do you just accept the context‑switching as normal?
Have you seen any simple approaches that work well for you (not necessarily products, even just workflows)?
From a startup perspective, does this strike you as a problem worth exploring, or does it look structurally weak because of API dependence, platform risk, or just lack of real demand?
Not trying to promote anything here, just trying to understand whether this is an actual problem space or a classic “founder brain” distraction. Honest takes are appreciated.
I’m working on a small but very real itch: following the same creators across 4–5 apps has become a chore.
Right now my routine looks like:
Open X to check a few builders → get sucked into “For You”
Open LinkedIn for 2 people → end up in corporate cringe
Open YouTube for 1 creator → fall into recommendations
Open IG “just for a sec” → there goes 20 minutes
I only care about ~15–20 creators, but I’m wrestling multiple apps and feeds that are optimized for engagement, not for “show me what these people posted.”
So I’m building Influencer Hub:
Paste a profile link or @handle (X, YouTube first; LinkedIn/IG/Substack later)
It detects the platform and pulls their public posts
Everything goes into one unified, chronological feed
Filter by person / platform
Search across all posts from all creators
Bookmark and add personal notes on posts you want to keep
Think of it as a “reader” for creators you’ve intentionally chosen, not another social network or analytics tool.
Current status:
Scoping a 2‑week MVP with Next.js + Supabase
Starting with X + YouTube integrations
Web first, mobile‑friendly; native apps if there’s real pull
What I’d love from Indie Hackers:
Do you feel this “feed fragmentation” pain yourself, or does this sound over‑optimized?
What would be the one killer feature that makes this obviously better than Twitter Lists / YouTube Subscriptions / RSS?
From a business angle, does this feel like a $5–10/mo power‑user tool, or more like a utility that needs a different monetization path?
If this resonates and you’d like to try the MVP or give feedback on early versions, I’ve put up a small waitlist here:

Happy to answer any questions about the approach, tech, or positioning – and if you’ve seen someone already nail this, I’d genuinely appreciate links so I don’t spend weeks reinventing a worse version.

This is a really compelling idea the “feed fragmentation” problem is real, and I see it all the time with clients who struggle to keep up with creators across multiple platforms. As someone who runs Reddit marketing campaigns, I can say that tools like this don’t just save time; they create shareable, organized content that can be promoted to niche communities much more effectively.
If you combine a clean chronological feed with features like bookmarking and search, this could stand out from Twitter Lists or YouTube subscriptions because it actually centralizes attention instead of relying on algorithms. From a marketing perspective, even a small MVP could drive adoption if you position it to communities frustrated with feed overload Reddit, creator forums, and productivity subs are perfect targets.
Honestly, this feels like a solid $5–10/mo power user tool if executed well, and with some Reddit-driven awareness campaigns, you could build early traction among your most engaged users.
