A friendly community of early-stage founders helping each other build profitable projects and have fun doing it.

March 31, 2021 Launching our early-stage founders community 😻

A year ago, we started building side-projects and sharing our indie hacker journey on our blog.

Many people like our content and wanted to be a part of it. We decided to turn our newsletter subscribers into community members.

We are really proud to have so many awesome members that help each other build amazing projects and have fun doing it.

Today is a big day for the Lunadio community. 🚀
We decided to support today's online event with Michael Sieb about Product Hunt and launch our community there!!!

August 3, 2020 15 000 reads in 6 months 🚀 What’s next?

Six months ago, we decided to take our struggles and learnings from making a startup and share them with others. Since then, we published an article every week. That’s 22 articles – I counted them for you.

🎉 We have over 100 awesome subscribers.
👀 More than 15 000 people read what we wrote.
💭 Countless insightful discussions with the community.

We covered topics like How to come up with a million-dollar startup idea, Getting 400 signups for a product that didn’t exist, or Technical aspects of starting a SaaS project.

The bigger picture

As makers who don’t want to just pursue a career in writing, we thought about the greater vision for Lunadio for quite some time. How can we better help others while satisfying our own curiosity at the same time?

Many indie hackers are people working their day jobs at a stable company. But they want more. They build amazing projects in their free time. And they often struggle with the transition from one to another.

We want to help people turn their side project into a business.

We were thinking, how can we bring more value to you. Sharing our know-how and thoughts on the blog is nice but we wanted to take it to the next level. Suddenly, we realized we provided that extra value already. To our friend Samuel who is building side-projects while he has a day job. We helped him to validate his idea, develop a project, find the first customers, and close a deal.

We would like to provide this service to you as well.

We are opening our private community to others and inviting you, indie hackers, to join. 🙂

To help you understand what's in the box, you should read the newest blog post by Samuel. He is sharing his journey of building the first side project as a member of Lunadio.

Have a wonderful week,

Ivan, @Semy, and @tmvst

June 16, 2020 First guest post on our blog

A few months ago, we started to write a blog documenting our journey as indie hackers.
Now, we have 2000 reads per month.
We are glad that our content resonates with you guys and we appreciate it so much! ❤

We decided to open our blog to others who want to share their experience and bring value to our audience.

The first guest post was written by Maeva. She runs her own B2B content marketing agency and we love her work.

Let me know if you are interested in publishing a guest post on our blog 😉 we are happy to see your content ideas.

February 26, 2020 50 subscribers from my first blog post

Recently, I co-founded a community of SaaS founders called Lunadio. Our mission is helping people to build profitable businesses. We're starting by writing useful articles with actionable insights.

My first blog post is about idea valuation: How to come up with a million-dollar startup idea (thanks @EO for the inspiration).

How do you decide what is the best idea to work on?

In the next blog post, I will show you some great examples of how you can validate your idea with no money. Subscribe and don't miss that ;)

February 6, 2020 Launched our new website

Finally, we launched our new website with a blog. Our goal is to provide high-quality content that could help others in building their projects.

We would like to share our know-how and document our journey of Indie Hackers. We commit to publishing at least one blog per week, giving free growth advice for random projects and share our expertise (marketing, UX, development, business strategy...)

January 1, 2020 Starting new Indie hacker journey

Last year was a total rollercoaster for me. I always wanted to build my own products but I was not able to find a focus and time to do so because I was running the other business, a dev company developing web & mobile applications.

TL;DR

  • I sold the company (hardest decision ever)
  • Overcoming depression afterward
  • Starting from scratch again, with new ideas, new projects
  • Get in touch with other Indie Hackers
  • Going all-in on my SaaS products
