Hello everyone. I'd love to hear some of your opinions on this early version of Huzzler.

Would you use this platform to share your projects and get feedback?
What's missing that would make you want to join and participate?
Any suggestions on how to build a thriving, supportive community?

I will consider all your ideas and feedback! I also want to thank all of our early active members, particularly @harvansh and @samm.

Thank you so much!

Yes, would use this to share my product.

Add a chatbot plugin on the bottom right - super easy to do, here's a tutorial on how I did it via Crisp https://www.realreview.space/blog/how-to-add-crisp-chatbot-to-vercel-website

the chatbot plugin, can be used to find resources within your website

Vincent, appreciate the shoutout! Huzzler’s shaping up, but here’s what could make it a must-use for indie hackers:

1️⃣ Indie Exchange Hub – A proper space for barter deals (e.g., “I’ll review your landing page for AI headshots”). Backlink swaps, guest posts, and cross-promos baked in. A karma system keeps things legit.

2️⃣ Growth & Revenue Diaries – A section where people drop real numbers, mistakes, and marketing wins. No fluff, just raw indie insights that actually help.

3️⃣ Collab Finder – Match based on skill gaps (e.g., "I suck at marketing but rock AI dev. You’re the opposite—let’s team up!").

This would make Huzzler insanely useful. What do you think?

Sounds awesome! Thanks so much for the ideas. What stands out to me is the "Backlink swaps", does it work like this? "I add a backlink to your site and you to my site"? Maybe I'll create a dedicated functionality for that. The diaries is also something I can implement. Maybe add some gamification with levels or badges.

Backlink swaps doesn't need to be from same domain to domain(Not X-Y, Y-X, instead A-X, Y-B). Google identifies and penalize it.

You can gamify the diaries like this:
🚀 Launch a landing page in 24h
📢 Get 10 users in a week
💰 Earn $100 from a side project in 30 days

Make it interactive with leaderboards, badges, rewards, and maybe even a highlight feature for people who complete them. Keeps people actually engaged instead of just lurking.

So a bit like making challenges? Eg "Earn $100 from a side project in 30 days". Maybe I could introduce a level system. Where you can get xp points by passing those challenges?
