Reached 2K monthly active users!

Hey guys! Just want to thank all of you early users for being a part of Huzzler. We've only been around for about a month and already at 2K active users. Currently, we are in talks with influencers on X to promote Huzzler. Over the coming weeks, many new features will be released such as:

  • Gamification: You will have a level and be able to earn XP by making contributions
  • Accountability: You'll be able to define some goals for the next week "eg. Finish landing page" and be held accountable by other members for that goal. You then will be able to mark once it's done and it will appear in the feed.
  • Earn advertising credits by referring other members: You'll be able to earn credits which you can use to promote your projects on Huzzler by inviting friends
  • Save posts: You'll be able to save posts and put them in folders, much like X's bookmarks
  • (Huzzler Black feature) Problem / Solution: Users will be able to submit real world problems that they need a SAAS or any other app for. E.g. "I need an app that converts a .psd file into a .png file and be able to change the background". They then can enter a monhtly price they'd pay for such a product. Huzzler members will then be able to browse the list of thousands of real-world problems and notify the one who posted when a solution becomes available. Maybe we could add voting as well. This fixes the problem of working on a product no one wants, because there will be a paying customer ready to buy.
  • (Huzzler Black feature) Huzzler Customer engine: A personalized way to get your first 100 customers. You'll need to select business type (b2c / b2b) and the category and you'll get actionable steps to undertake to actually get your first 100 customers. Eg. "Find 10 influencers on tiktok in your niche" for b2c or "Find 50 businesses on Linkedin for b2b" and messages you can send, handy templates to get a response,...

These last 2 features will be part of Huzzler black, which now costs $29 and includes all future features. We'll increase the price of Huzzler Black once these features are available to $299. As we believe the Problem/Solution feature and Customer Engine are of tremendous value.

Thanks again everyone who is on here daily! I'll also try to make some time to give you "early member". Thanks guys 🧡

How to get your first 500 users for your SaaS

Hello everyone. Here are some tips on how to get your first 500 users for your SaaS.

Getting your first 500 users takes work, but it's possible if you follow a plan. If I were starting a new software business today, here are the 5 steps I'd take:

  1. Find a real problem people have. Think about problems you deal with yourself or problems in areas you know well.
  2. Talk to at least 10 people who have this problem. Ask them questions (like in surveys or calls): How do they handle it now? How much does it bother them? Would they pay for a solution?
  3. Build a basic version of your product (an MVP) that solves the main problem. Don't add extra features yet, just make sure it works.
  4. Let the people you talked to use your basic product for free. Ask them what they think. Use their feedback to improve it. Then, tell people about it in online groups where potential users hang out to get your first 100 users.
  5. Improve the product based on what those first users say. Then, launch it on Product Hunt to get even more users.

Hopefully this helps some of you

Ranked for 140 keywords in 1 month.

The project

I build language learning applications, because I love learning languages.

So I built a game called Grake, which is inspired from the classic game Snake, except you grow the snake by capturing the words in the right order.

This is playful way to learn grammar, vocabulary, and syntax in foreign languages.

How I did it

  1. Used Ahrefs to find common expressions that people search for such as :
How to say in spanish.

this resulted in 33,691 keywords in the USA alone.

2. I filtered for low KD and high SV.

3. Then created pages that exemplify the word or phrase that match that keyword in Grake.

As a result I created pages whose title, description, and keywords in the metadata contained said keywords.

After 1 month, I successfully ranked for 140 keywords.

Although only 1 of them is top 10, I feel optimistic about my strategy of generating traffic, while I continue marketing my language learning application.

Here's the video, where I show the proof and how I did it.

Real Lessons for Indie Makers Who Want to Win With Content Instead of Burn Cash

Three years back, I didn’t know how to build websites. I wasn’t a developer. I wasn’t a marketer.

Just a middle-class guy trying to figure out how to make a living.

All I knew was—I could write. So I started there.

Blogging was my starting point.

No paid courses. No YouTube gurus. Just me, observing, writing, and learning by doing.

I wasn’t aiming to be perfect. I was aiming to be useful.

Fast forward to March 2024—I launched ai-q.in. A blog focused on AI tools. (It wasn’t my first blog either—there were a few failed ones before that. Each one taught me what not to do.)

And here’s how I made it work:

1. I Skipped the Fluff. I Studied Competitors.

I didn’t guess what to write. I reverse-engineered the top 10 results on Google for every keyword I picked.

I checked:

  • What they were doing well
  • What they were missing
  • How I could write better by actually connecting with the reader

Most of those top sites were big—but they weren’t personal. They didn’t speak to real user problems.

So I did. I made sure every paragraph hit a pain point.

2. I Wrote to Solve, Not to Impress

A lot of content is written to sound smart. I didn’t care about that.

I focused on connecting with the user. I wrote how I talk. I hit pain points. I skipped the fluff.

And it worked. Google noticed. So did readers.

Because people share what makes them feel understood—not just what ranks.

3. I Delivered What Others Didn't

Most of those top 10 blogs? Big companies. Polished. Optimized.

But also—vague, robotic, and filled with filler.

I went the opposite direction:

Detailed guides, Clear breakdowns, Stuff they actually needed but couldn’t find anywhere else.

I covered what those 10 sites skipped. I didn’t just rewrite—I added depth, insights, and clarity.

That’s what ranked.

The Result?

Launched on Feb 4th, 2024 → Hit 75K+ traffic in 40 days.

No backlinks. No hacks. No ads.

Just real content, written for real people.

In the next 2 months, platforms like Viggle, FlexClip, Vidnoz, GetIMG, and many more reached out.

I reviewed their tools, made solid income from it, and grew even faster.

What Indie Makers Can Take From This

If you’ve got a product, idea, or even just a landing page—start writing content around it.

Answer what your users are Googling. Show up with real value.

Keep doing that, and traffic will come.

  • You don’t need a marketing degree.
  • You don’t need an ad budget.
  • You need to be useful, consistent, and smarter than the platforms you’re competing with.

Here’s what you can start doing today:

  • Pick one feature or tool from your product and write a real guide around it
  • Research, analyze, and write better than everyone else. It’s doable.
  • Focus on helping one reader, not cracking SEO.

SEO isn't dead. Bad content is.

PS: I’ve moved on to building products now (another story for another day). But content? It’s still the reason any of this was possible.

14 Mistakes I Made While Building a SaaS (So You Don’t Have To)

I've been building my SaaS for 129 days. Here's a NO-BS list of mistakes I made (and lessons I learned)

1. Prepare legal ground

Have an LLC or some other legal entity so you can collect payments and bypass limitations you'll most definitely run into, if not on this SaaS, then on the next one.

I didn't think about it until I faced APIs such as Meta API or Stripe which required a legal entity. You can always open an LLC remotely in USA, there are many companies that provide this service. It will typically cost you around $500. If you want recommendation on a service I used, DM me.

2. Analyze the market and your competitors before committing your resources

I didn't analyze the market properly. I looked at 4-5 big competitors and their features and that was it. As I kept building, I encountered more and more competition in the space, and it wasn't until the 4th month that I fully realized how crowded this space really is.

To be fair, I didn't know how to do proper research.

If I were starting over, here's what I'd do:

  1. Go to AlternativeTo
  2. Search your top 5-6 competitors
  3. Compile all their alternatives into a table

Here you go, this is your competition. It will include big names as well as small indie hackers like yourself. Study them and figure out where you fit.

If you still want to continue, move on.

3. Select a dead domain name

I was careless with my first name. At the end of 3rd month I had to bite the bullet and spend a few days to re-brand everything, and to start the SEO game from scratch.

Make sure the name you're selecting is a dead name. Nothing significant should appear on Google. Make sure the social media handles for this name are available. Make sure there are no other services, especially in the same niche, that have a very similar name.

Brainstorm the name with ChatGPT. Brainstorm the name with friends. It's easy to get attached and get biased toward a name. You need 3rd party view on this.

4. Start with a Waitlist

Setup simple UTM and Referral tracking.

Ask for the name so later you can make the emails more personalized.

Bare minimum for your waitlist: target audience, feature list, "how it works", and FAQ.

You can start with just text. When you have something to show, put a screenshot/video there.

Add "Welcome" email to the waitlist. As such, you 1) warm up the mailbox and 2) you can see if any emails bounced.

Promote the waitlist on reddit/linkedin/X. Best source for me was Reddit. You can promote even on subreddits which do not allow promotion, if you do it smart. I made some posts on subreddits without including a link to the waitlist, and people reached out to me via DMs asking for a link.

5. ENGAGE WITH YOUR WAITLIST

Seriously, just do it. Those people signed up. Every week you make something new, you can share it with them. Send a biweekly update on the progress.

I kept silent for 2.5 months before I engaged the waitlist. And when I finally did, what happened? Crickets...

6. Choose proven stack

Put your ego aside. Seriously. Just choose what works.

I spent so much time simply because my stack was not optimal. In particular, Vue and Nuxt, which I use, are great frameworks, but they lack in community.

7. Choose an SSR framework for landing page

This one may be obvious to some, but it cost me a week separating my landing page from the app so I can get SEO benefits. Don't be me.

8. Choose proven hosting

I spent several days to relocate my backend from fly.io to render.com because fly.io turned out to be ridiculously slow.

9. Start the SEO game early

Warm up your domain authority. Spend a few days to submit your Waitlist/MVP into directories. Write/generate SEO friendly high quality articles. Optimize your landing and blog page for SEO.

There is absolutely no reason to not invest a few 2-3 days into it early on unless you're still in the experimentation phase.

10. Once your MVP is out, you will get at least a few regular users. Engage with them

Listen to what your users say. Engage with them. Ask how they are doing. Ask for improvement ideas. Ask for feedback. Check up on them from time to time. You first 5 users are very important. When you fully release, consider leaving them as free users. They will become your cheerleaders.

11. Do not code. Instead, PLAN

Think like an architect. Only code to validate hypotheses or prove something works, but once it does, don't rush into building the full ap. Pause. Design first.

Look, these days AI writes 80% of the code. But it doesn't know your vision. If you don't plan the big picture, you'll end up refactoring endlessly.

Start with your data model. Seriously, I spent weeks reworking mine. And I've had plenty of smaller refactors that could have been avoided had I put more thoughts into planning.

Think. Plan. Then build.

12. Do not waste time on UI

Just accept that your MVP UI does not matter. When the time is right, you will change it anyway. Don't spend time on the UI on the first version of the app. Just make it simple and clean, but don't overdo it.

13. Look for out of box solutions when possible

I spent 5 days developing custom billing portal only to find out that Stripe provides it out of box. It took me less than 2 hours to integrate the OOB one.

14. Simplify, simplify, simplify

Can't emphasize this enough. I know this is hard. Your backlog will grow. You'll have more and more ideas. But you have to stay razor sharp. Focus on one specific problem. Whenever you can, look for short cuts.

80% of time the right decision to whatever dilemma you're having is to simplify.

If this helped you — let me know what resonated.

Or tell me what you wish you knew before launching 🚀

Thank you for reading.

Vulnerability as a service???

From the image below, it seems vibe coders have a long way to go before they can actually make safe and secure products.

"Even products from top devs get hacked too," yes, but they usually do know how to go around it.

The best way to prevent getting hacked include:

1. Familiarising yourself with the workings of your framework, programming language, libraries, etc.

2. Always use HTTPS everywhere!

3. Always hash passwords!

4. Use env. variables for api keys, passwords, client IDs.

5. Make sure you run your logs, so you can use them for forensic investigations if a security breach happens.

6. Use prompts such as 'Undertake a full review of any risks associated with exposing personal identifiable information to a malicious actor. Investigate, explain, resolve.' while vibe coding.

Please feel free to add any other pieces of advice.

2.4K monthly active users for Huzzler 🍾 What I learned

Hey guys!

Just wanted to thank everyone who has been a part of this journey so far (we just getting started). We've only been around for a couple of weeks and are already ad 2.4K monthly active users, which is crazy if you think about it.

What I learned is that you have to solve a REAL problem. The real problem was that there was no good place for founders to hang out, get feedback or discover each others products so I created it.

I have a lot of cool things planned for Huzzler to make this platform even better, such as a real world problem/solution directory, "alternatives to x software" pages where I will list your products (mainly for SEO), a customer engine so you can get your first 100 customers and more.

All of your feedback is also added to the to-do list.

I'm working 24/7 on Huzzler to make this the best platform. Also increasing the price of huzzler black soon. For those interested, we now also have advertising options. Feel free to DM me on X for more info.

Thank you to everyone here! Couldn't do it without you.

Case Study: How Christopher makes 1.6K MRR after 5 failed products

Christopher’s story:

Christopher Woggon is an entrepreneur based in South Korea who turned profitable after creating 5 failed projects. Christopher is well known on X for his persistence and honest approach to building projects. He shares progress along the way and is one of the most transparent founders I’ve seen in the build-in-public space.

He's a solo founder who codes his own products, handles his own marketing, and builds communities around his work.

5 failed products

Before turning profitable, he built and launched five products that made exactly $0: ProductLab, ZenDone, RenderLab, DontWaitList, and EnigmaBot. Each project taught him something valuable, but none made a single dollar.

"I failed 5 times before making my first dollar," Christopher once posted on X. Most people would have given up after the second or third attempt. Instead, he kept refining his approach.

A profitable product

First profit month for Christopher was December (2024). From there on, profits increased each month. In March, his launch platform generated $827 in a single month and by April (this month), the platform grew to $1.6K in MRR (and counting), with a record-breaking day bringing 930 visitors to the site.

How He Did It

  1. He learned from every failure. Each failed product revealed something important: He learned about market fit, pricing, or execution.
  2. He built in public. Christopher shared his journey honestly, including both wins and setbacks. This transparency built trust and turned followers into customers.
  3. He stayed lean and flexible. As a one-person team, Christopher could pivot quickly based on feedback. One day he'd focus on coding, the next on marketing, whatever the business needed most.
  4. He celebrated small wins. That first $827 month wasn't the end goal, it was motivation to keep pushing forward.

Practical Lessons You Can Apply Today

  1. Treat failure as data, not defeat. Each "failed" product shows you what to fix next time. Ask: "What one thing could I improve in my next attempt?"
  2. Launch before you feel ready. Christopher didn't wait until his product was perfect, he got his product in front of users and improved based on real feedback. What's the simplest version (MVP) of your idea you could launch this month?
  3. Build relationships, not just products. Share your journey honestly. People support people, not just faceless businesses. How could you be more transparent about your process?
  4. Focus beats features. His launch platform succeeded because it solved specific problems well, not because it tried to do everything. Ask yourself: what core problem does your product solve better than anything else?
  5. Choose long-term trust over short-term profit. Being honest and reliable builds a foundation for sustainable success. 

Christopher’s simple advice

If you're staring at zero customers or zero revenue today, remember Christopher's simple advice: "All you have to do is not give up." What will you build next? And more importantly, keep going if the first version (or product) doesn’t work out.

Thanks for reading guys and keep building!

How to create a profitable MVP agency by leveraging AI and how get clients

I created a post on here a few days ago about how I ship MVPs for my clients at lightspeed. I noticed many of you were interested in how to run an MVP agency, so I decided to go more in-depth. Here are my tips for running an MVP agency, leveraging AI to get fast results:

Build fast

  • Use templates and boilerplates for common features (authentication, payments, etc.)
  • Use Next.js + supabase
  • Focus on critical features first. identify what truly validates the business concept
  • Embrace "embarrassing MVP": ship something that's not perfect but functional that solves the core problem, your clients will like that

Leverage AI

  • Use AI to code. I use Windsurf but I heard good things about Cursor and loveable as well
  • Always ask AI to write clean, reusable code
  • Browse the Windsurf rules directory to find applicable rules (https://windsurf.com/editor/directory)
  • Very important: ask AI to write tests for you code and ask it to test. It will then iterate and fix bugs

Getting clients

  • Start with your network. tell everyone what you're doing and ask for introductions
  • Sponsor an entrepreneur newsletter, you need to convince them that you can build their dream product
  • Create detailed case studies showcasing your fast delivery
  • Offer a "concept to MVP in X weeks" guarantee with clear pricing
  • Build authority through content marketing
  • Show revenue on X: success attracts success, you need to build a following, a brand by building in public and sharing all progress

Provide top tier support

  • Include a dedicated support period after launch (minimum 30 days)
  • Create detailed documentation for clients to reference after delivery
  • Schedule regular check-ins during the first month after delivery

Treat your clients well

  • Position yourself as a partner, not just a service provider
  • Involve clients in important decisions but do not overwhelm them with technical details!! (very important)
  • Be transparent about limitations and tradeoffs in the MVP approach. People love honest people.
  • Celebrate launches and milestones to build positive relationship momentum
  • Provide honest advice about next steps after MVP, even if it means less revenue initially, be transparent!!

Define clear scope boundaries

  • Use a simple one-page scope document that clients actually understand
  • Identify "phase 2" features early and document them for future development

A tip for those who don't know what to make

Often, I hear people say things like "I don't know what to make" or "everything already exists". I understand you. It's hard to find a new unique idea to create a SAAS for.

But let me tell you. Your project doesn't have to be unique. You can simply copy popular concepts which already exist and just make them better.

That's how I find new startup ideas. Copy + improve. A simple process and yo don't have to invent some kind of new revolutionary project.

Introducing Groop - The easiest way to plan holidays & meetings with friend groups

Let me introduce you to Groop, a product I've built out of pure frustration. Every time I wanted to meet with friends or plan a holiday it was a hassle of constant back-and-forth messaging to check who was available when.

That's why I created Groop, a simple and free solution. It works like this

  • Go to groop.cc
  • Create a Groop (Eg. summer holiday 2025)
  • Send the link to friends
  • Everyone can select available dates on a calendar
  • The dates when everyone is available are highlighted in green

It doesn't get more simpler than this. No account creation required. No more back-and-forth-messaging.

Check it out: groop.cc

Creating a marketing search engine

Hey everyone. I just wanted to share a new project I'm working on which will accelerate the adoption of Huzzler. I'd love to hear your feedback.

It's a tool that scrapes a set of subreddits and saves all the posts and comments to a database. Then as a user, you'll be able to use AI search which understands meaning and intent to lookup any reddit leads of the past week / month and finds hundreds of results in seconds.

An example: You are making an app that helps people stop smoking.

Using my tool: you can search the entire database with a query like: "Give me all posts/comments where someone is complaining about not being able to quit smoking".

It'll use AI to efficiently search a database of thousands of posts / comments and comments with the same meaning as your query.

Where existing tools lack

All existing tools I've found use keywords to find matches. For example, if I use the keyword "smoking" , those tools will only analyze every post that has the exact keyword "smoking". But it will miss potential posts where someone doesn't explicitly mentions a tracked keyword.

Let take for example a comment: "I can't quit the darts, I've tried for years" which was placed under a meme in r/memes. Classic tools like replyguy will not notify you for that lead. My tool will find those, as the comment is in the database and it can understand the meaning behind words. It understands that "darts" are slang for cigarettes. And when using the search engine it'll find any post or comment that matches with that meaning.

You can also create multiple queries like: "give me everyone who mentions to have smoked for years", "give me all posts about smoking",.. you can literally search up anything, it's not limited to keyword tracking.

You can also save queries to be notified daily if new leads have been found.

What do you think of this idea? Any feedback is welcome

How to find validated SaaS ideas

Something I've noticed is how often you can stumble upon potential SaaS ideas just by reading through Reddit.

If you browse subreddits where entrepreneurs, developers, or other professionals hang out, you'll frequently see people talking about problems they face or wishing for a specific tool to make their work easier. They might complain about a tedious task or ask if anyone knows software that does a particular thing.

When you see posts like that, it's often a sign that there's an unmet need. You could create something that other people will actually want. Maybe the existing tools aren't quite right, are too expensive, or people just don't know about them because of poor marketing.

What I've found helpful is keeping an eye out for these kinds of psots. If you see multiple posts over time where people describe similar frustrations or wish for the same type of tool, that could be a strong signal for a good product idea. It shows there's a real need people might be willing to pay to solve.

Just a thought I wanted to share. Has anyone else noticed the same?

Looking for feedback: What real-world problem could this customizable media dashboard solve?

Hey everyone, after getting exactly no feedback about my idea on reddit i accidentally stumbled about this community and want to give it a try.

I've have a simple idea for such some time now build landing pages and some simple working mocks.

A flexible web-based dashboard. It's a simple, tile-based web app where each tile can launch something – a YouTube video, a Spotify playlist, a website, or even a call via WebRTC. 

The idea started as a media hub for children – something safe, easy to use, and distraction-free. Imagine a kid tapping a big button to call grandma (via WebRTC), or launching their favorite bedtime story video without needing to search or type anything and the media starts playing inside my app.

But the concept seems scalable and highly adaptable.It could be useful for:

- Kids

- Seniors

- People with disabilities

- Shortcut dashboards for families or teams

I’m now at a crossroads:

What problem should this actually solve to dig deeper into one niche ?

Is the kids use case already too saturated with existing tools (e.g. Fire tablets)?

Would this be more useful for assisted access?

Should it evolve into something totally different?

I’d love to hear your thoughts on possible directions, pain points this could solve, or even your gut feeling about the idea.

Thanks so much for reading and please be honest with me. if u think this is total bullshit or useless I am fine with it too. what I don't want is to waste time to build a product no one wants to use ;)

This brought free traffic to my site, maybe it’ll work for you too.

Follow these steps:

1. Go to indiehackers(dot)com/products

2. Click on submit update

3. You will be redirected to your product (if not added, you need to submit your product first)

4. Write a post/update about your product

5. Once published, your update will be visible on the Build Board

Notes:

  • Try to add updates on weekdays to get more benefits.
  • Try to add new product updates at least twice a month.

Social Media Platform

Hey Everyone,

I'm new to the platform. Came across the a post on Reddit featuring this site so figured I'd hang out here. What are your thoughts on the idea?

Right now I'm working an MVP for the for the app:

  • This will be a platform that aims to support and connect local communities. The platform will give users the ability to search through listings locally(Exchange, Gifting, Buying/Selling).
  • Sellers will be able to open "Storefronts".
  • Social events, groups and feed.
  • Ability to coordinate courier services between users who "volunteer" and users who are requesting services.
  • Rating/trust system for users who are active on the platform.

I'm looking to capture users who are:

  • Fed up with current social media or are using Discord/Whatsapp and other messaging apps
  • Local CSAs
  • Already have a storefront on Etsy, Ebay, etc.

I had no idea how to build apps. Then I just started!

A month ago, I had zero clue about tech. GitHub? Never touched it. Deploying an app? Sounded like something only real devs do. It felt like building your own app was reserved for ‘real’ developers — not someone like me who didn’t even know where to start.

But I had this idea — and instead of waiting until I “learn how to code,” I just went for it. I stumbled into the world of vibe coding, and it completely changed the game for me.

Three days later, I launched my very first app:

👉 BoomHabits.com — a simple habit tracker to help people stay focused, build routines, and feel proud of their progress.

And here’s the crazy part: three days after going live, 200 people signed up, and BoomHabits got 80 upvotes as Product of the Day on Fazier.com (we even hit #2 for a while!).

I know for a lot of you — devs and folks who’ve been in this world way longer — this might seem small, maybe even kinda funny. But for someone who’s never written a single line of code… this is huge!

Just wanted to share this little win — the vibe coding is just getting started for me. Maybe it’ll inspire someone else to take their first step too.
