I'm Decency, a nurse turned self-taught developer from the UK. Started coding 8 months ago after getting fed up with Excel crashing during night shifts while trying to track my freelance invoices.
That frustration led me to build IndieHQ - an invoicing and expense management tool specifically for freelancers who are tired of spreadsheet chaos and don't need enterprise-level complexity.
Professional invoicing for UK freelancers and international service providers. Multi-currency invoices, client portals, HMRC-compliant exports. Privacy-first alternative to QuickBooks - no bank connections required.
I just soft-launched IndieHQ (indiehq.org) after getting frustrated with a recurring problem.
The pain: Every January, my accountant charged me 300+ just to reformat my FreshBooks exports for UK tax authorities (HMRC). The data was all there, just in the wrong format.
The solution: Built IndieHQ with proper UK tax compliance baked in:
We ve all got that one thing we still do manually that makes us groan every time - formatting copied text, renaming files, setting up tasks, writing the same message again and again. If you could wave a magic AI wand and automate just one repetitive thing, what would it be? Bonus if you ve actually hacked a solution for it, I love learning from clever automations. Also: I m working on something in this space, so I m not just asking for fun Following anyone who shares something cool or teaches me something new.
