From zero to 500 users: How I launched IndieCru.sh solo

Hey, I m Alex Saint

I m a solo indie hacker based in Paris, and fun fact I only started coding thanks to AI tools. I got inspired watching Marc Lou s videos on YouTube, picked up some tools, started building and tweeting.

What’s your most underrated delegation trick?

Not looking for the obvious 'use a VA' or hire freelancers.

What s one thing you do that makes delegation actually work for you as a founder?

Could be:

A way you brief people

DOs and DON’Ts in your first product lunch in PH

Hi everyone! I m Rokaya. Super excited to finally be here

Quick intro: I started out as a marketing director for software companies, then moved into sales at Gartner, and eventually left to start my own CMO-as-a-service consultancy. For the last few years I ve been helping B2B tech startups grow through super-personalized outbound stuff that actually booked meetings for my clients and grew their pipeline.

Update: Code-Blocks with syntax highlighting are now available!

Hey fellow Chyridians (yeah, we just decided that this is a term now),

after our launch here on product hunt last week, we gained more users than we could have imagined. So first of all, thanks a lot for that!

Along with our users came a lot of feedback and ideas for new features that we should add, one of them being embedded code-blocks and that is what we went for first! We are excited to announce that as of today, you can use the new Source Code block! This block will allow you to paste your code as well as select the programming language to allow for proper syntax highlighting when being rendered in the finished manual.

Should a company like Meta be involved in military combat technology?

Anytime we want to see technological advancements, we either keep an eye on Product Hunt, Techcrunch or the military. And that's today's case.

In the morning, I read this announcement:

Meta is partnering with defense tech company Anduril to develop AR/VR headsets for the U.S. military, starting with a new device called EagleEye. The new headset will include night vision, thermal sensing, and augmented reality features.
The partnership has raised eyebrows due to Meta s role in data and AI, and the ethical implications of a social media giant entering the military tech space.

Anyone using a WhatsApp Chatbot for their business? Results?

I ve been researching WhatsApp chatbots for business and tested a few tools. The potential seems huge:

  • 24/7 customer support without hiring

  • Automated lead capture from chats

  • Payments directly in WhatsApp

But I m curious:

Anyone did their public launch straight on Product Hunt? - How's it vs launching on PH a bit later.

Public launch directly on Product Hunt vs going on Product Hunt a bit later.

I am looking to compare and learn from experiences of others.

PH launch is a must - so question is only about the timing.

Pocket users, what’s your plan B? Let’s talk alternatives

Pocket is shutting down - by now, we all know that. I wasn t a regular user myself, but I did test the app about a year ago.

From what I m seeing in the comments, long-time users are understandably panicking. There are plenty of alternatives out there, but it seems like people are struggling to find something they can easily switch to.

So I m curious - how did you use Pocket?

And have you found a replacement that actually works for you?

How do you make the atmosphere in your company more pleasant for your team?

I believe this topic is relevant to you as well, since there are many company founders here at various stages of starting up or running their businesses.
