Hey everyone! Over the past months I have been silently working on a Huzzler 2.0 launch and today, it's time to launch it! 🎉

I've been interviewing founders and listening to your feedback.

These were your biggest complaints on other platforms (X, Reddit,..)

• AI generated content
• Fake gurus with fake MRR claims (course sellers, boilerplate sellers..)
• Your posts get "lost in the noise"
• Bots (+ AI reply bots)

I've been working on a few ways to mitigate these complaints and my goal is to make Huzzler a platform where you can actually learn from other successful founders. No gurus. No fakes. No AI generated content.

New features in Huzzler 2.0

Say goodbye to fake gurus 👏

On platforms like X or Reddit, we often see posts like this:

Made it to $12,000 MRR selling AI customer support agents

A lot of times, these posts and MRR charts are fake and the person is just selling a boilerplate or course.

With Huzzler 2.0, every revenue claim has to be verified. You can verify revenue by connecting your payment provider (for example, Stripe). When you create a post with a revenue claim, our AI moderation will detect it and remove if you don't have the verified revenue.

A strict no-AI space 🤖

A complaint I've been seeing more and more on X and Reddit is the AI-generated content and bots. It's often generic and you can't really learn from it, as the best knowledge comes from someone's personal experience.

Starting from today, AI generated content is forbidden. Our moderators have actively banned people who create full posts with AI.

Beautiful, personalized user profiles 🌍

I've improved the layout and visuals of user profiles. You can now add a country, location and banner to make your profile stand out.

You can also view a revenue chart per product. Meaning you quickly check out how much someones earning and if they are telling the truth.

Phone verification (coming soon)

While we now don't have a problem with bots, we working on adding phone verification for creating posts or commenting. This will introduce some friction, but honestly, I don't mind it. We value quality over quantity.

That's all guys. Let me know if you'd like to see other features on Huzzler and I'll add them to the t-do list

I have an idea for an app that would help businesses who struggle with converting and transforming files.

An example would be: "I need to convert this excel sheet of leads into this specific XML format so I can import these leads into my CRM"

I know you can do this using chatGPT / Loveable / n8n,... but I'm looking towards building a solution for people who are less technical.

Now my question is, has anyone on here tried validating such a specific idea / problem by sending cold emails to businesses? If so, what was your experience and reply rate? Any tips are welcome

Hi everyone 👋 I'm soon starting the next development cycle for Huzzler and urgently need your opinions 😁

I'm a solo developer working on Huzzler, and I'm struggling to decide what to focus on. Your feedback would really help here.

Option 1: focus on the founder feed. Add daily interesting articles about tech, success stories, case studies. This will drastically reduce my time available to work on Huzzler and there are already some sites out there with daily news content (eg indie-hackers). However, these success stories could provide a lot of value.

Option 2: Focus on improving the community. Hide the founder feed from the homepage or add fewer articles and focus on making this community better. I'd like to add

• verifiable MRR with stripe (MRR badge on profile)
• KYC required + strict no AI policy. You'll have to verify with passport / drivers license using an external service. Everyday, people are getting more and more tired of the AI bots on platforms like X. On Huzzler anyone posting or commenting using an AI bot will be banned (3 warnings). It will be a very strict no-AI platform. It may seem overkill but will may sure you get to see real valuable posts instead of generic AI generated ones.
• MRR chart on profile + cooler profile pages 😎
• Project Milestones: new kind of structured post where post about the goal you achieved, how you did it and what you learned (this will be useful for learning from each other).
• Resource Hub: Hand picked resources and sites so you can use just one platform (Huzzler 😉) to find the best: launch platforms, indie hacker blogs, directories, marketplaces, newsletters, free coding courses.

What do you think would be best for Huzzler? I'm personally leaning towards option 2. Any other ideas are welcome (especially regarding the founder feed and placement, maybe we should show news articles the same way as posts? but with distinct styling?)

Thanks so much for everyone who is still a part of Huzzler. With your help, we'll make Huzzler great again 😁I really want to make this the best place to connect with other founders and learn from each other.

Hey guys, for those who don't know, I'm the founder of Huzzler. Just wanted to make this post to announce the launch of my development agency 😁

You might know, but there are lots of MVP agencies out there. What makes mine different from the others is that it's focused on creating super high-quality products (design and development-wise). I've been coding for 9 years and have created countless enterprise-grade products. I build full stack, web & mobile and even do smart contract blockchain development.

My services are

• Website development (simple and complex)
• Any kind of website integrations
• Beautiful Design & UI
• PWA development
• Native app development with react-native (4 years of professional experience with react-native)
• web3 smart contract development (solidity)
• web3 frontend development with EVM compatible chains
• Hosting

Feel free to check out my agency site on: propulsion.so

Hey everyone, as you may have seen we have recently added the Huzzler founder feed. It allows you to keep up to date with the most recent news (AI, tech, coding) and we will also post case studies and founder stories.

Newsletter is launching later this week.

I'm wondering what you guys think about the founder feed 😁

• Do you like it?
• Would you want a way to hide it on the homepage?
• What articles are you interested in?

Any feedback is appreciated!

I recently stumbled across an interesting Reddit post from someone who’s been in B2B marketing for 15 years. It's a list of the top marketing tools for indie hackers / founders.  Thought it was worth resharing here for other SaaS founders who might find it useful.

Hubspot

You really can’t beat Hubspot. It’s hands down the best marketing automation platform and a great hub for everything marketing teams need. I’ve tried Pardot, Marketo, and Act-On, and Hubspot beats them all. It is pricey though, if all you need is basic email marketing, I’d suggest checking out the next tool instead.

Apollo.io

Think of Apollo as ZoomInfo plus Salesloft, all in one. Last I checked, it was still just $99/month for unlimited email credits. It’s packed with features like other sales tools but way cheaper. Great for email marketing and outreach.

Gong.io

Even though Gong is mainly for sales, I use it to hear the actual voice of our customers. Honestly, some of my best content and landing pages came directly from Gong recordings. Real customer language beats anything I could come up with myself.

Session Rewind

It’s like HotJar, but better. I use it to watch how people interact with my landing pages. I like to mix numbers and real behavior. Google Analytics tells me what happened, but Session Rewind shows me how it happened.

BigMarker

I recently started using BigMarker for webinars, and I’ve been very happy with it. It costs more than Zoom or GoToWebinar, but it feels like a tool made just for webinars which I like.

ChatGPT

This one’s obvious but if you’re not using ChatGPT yet, you’re falling behind. A lot of marketers I know use it to write most of their content. It’s not perfect, but it’s a must-have tool today. AI might take over someday, so might as well use it now.

ClickUp

My go-to tool for managing projects. I switched from Monday.com and haven’t looked back. I run my whole company with ClickUp, and I’m still on the free plan. It’s easy to use and has great integrations.

Ahrefs

I know there’s always debate between Ahrefs and Semrush, but I’m team Ahrefs. It’s the best SEO tool I’ve used. It shows everything I need to know about my site and what my competitors are doing. I’ve got a whole SEO toolkit, but Ahrefs is where I always start.

Hey everyone! Today, OpenAI released their new images API. I couldn't find any good tools to generate Studio Ghibli style images so I've added it to Huzzler. Each member on Huzzler has been grated 2 free credits to generate images.

We use the highest-quality setting to generate the best possible images with OpenAI and the results are amazing.
