Indie hackers
A website for indie hackers that lists what you shipped
Projects you can click, a note about what you are building now, and a way for a user or a collaborator to find you. The revenue chart can stay in your own notes.
Example
Start from a demo page
Use the Bento template as your base, then swap in your own name, links and photos.
What the build page shows
Different from the founder page: there may be no company site because the projects are the company.
Projects with a URL
Name, one sentence and a link. If something is not shipped yet, say so in the sentence.
Now, as a note
A text block for the current build. Update it when it changes. A stale “launching soon” is worse than silence.
The code, if it is public
GitHub cards with the name, sentence and meta line you write.
How to reach you
Email. The product’s support channel can be a separate link.
Numbers, in your words
If a number matters, such as users or revenue, put it in a sentence you are willing to leave up.
Templates that fit
Make your page
List what is live
Dead side projects teach the wrong lesson. Link the ones you would demo.
Write the now note last
It is the only block you will edit monthly. Make it easy to find.
Use the URL in launch posts
The product gets the product link. Your name gets this page.
Questions
Can the page show MRR?
Only if you type it into a text block. Nothing is pulled from Stripe.
How is this different from a founder page?
A founder page points to a company. An indie hacker page lists what you have shipped when you are the company.
Is the bento a requirement?
No. It is useful when the projects are peers. Minimal is better when one product should lead.
