Hey makers! 👋 I’ve been hanging out in the indie hacker community for a while, and I noticed a problem. When we share our work, we usually drop a Twitter link or a generic Linktree. But as builders, our identity is our portfolio and our metrics. I wanted a single page that didn't just list links, but showed traction. So, I built Makers Page. The Demo What makes it different?

I feel there’s a lot of learning hidden there about timing, assumptions, and trade-offs. Do you think sharing failed projects helps the ecosystem, or does it mostly benefit the person sharing?

Many products start as experiments built at night or on weekends. At first, there’s no pressure just curiosity and momentum. But at some point, expectations creep in: users, revenue goals, support, roadmap decisions. That’s usually when it starts to feel more like a responsibility than a hobby. How do you personally decide when a side project deserves serious commitment or when it’s better to...
