Modern browsers now expose primitives like WebCodecs, WebAssembly, OffscreenCanvas, SharedArrayBuffer, and local file access. I was curious how far these could be pushed for basic video editing without requiring installs, accounts, or uploads. As an experiment, I built a small in-browser video editor. Scope is intentionally minimal: load local video/audio, trim and position clips on a timeline,...

Hey everyone! 👋 I’m super excited (and a little nervous!) to share my latest project — Popomo.video 🫧 Popomo is a cute, Scratch-style motion video playground where kids, parents, and teachers can make puppet-like “pop stage” animations — think stickers on strings, bubbles floating around, characters bouncing with sound, all powered by simple drag-and-drop code blocks. I make fun learning videos...

Hey PH friends, I’m Ju Lin, founder of Indie10k – a “growth gym” for indie founders built around daily reps and compounding small wins. Lately, I’ve been working on something bigger than just product features: a TenK Manifesto. Think of it like the Agile Manifesto, but for indie SaaS builders — a simple set of values that keep us moving toward $10k MRR without drowning in endless theory or...

🎉 Hey Product Hunt! I built Indie10k because I kept making the same dumb mistake: Build → feel awesome → do zero outreach → hear crickets 🦗. 65 projects later… I realized my real problem wasn’t knowledge. It was discipline + momentum. And it's for founders who are great at shipping features but allergic to marketing consistency 🙋‍♂️ So Indie10k is basically a growth gym for indie hackers. Instead...

Hi PH, I’m Ju — Professional Side Project Graveyard Digger ☠️. If side projects had tombstones, my backyard would look like an overgrown cemetery. Here lies “A-Copy-Of-XYZ-But-Just-Nobody-Use #17.” Here lies “It-Will-Be-A-Better-Canva.” Here lies “Definitely-the-Next-Notion.” (I still put flowers on that one sometimes.) For years, I’ve been stuck in the endless loop of: ✨ get idea → 🛠️ hack it →...

As indie makers, we’ve all been there: the code is shipped, but the product description is still… blank. You either: Dump a list of features nobody cares about. Try to sound clever and end up sounding generic. Or spend hours massaging ChatGPT prompts with mixed results. That’s why I built the SaaS Product Description Generator 🎉 The purpose? It gives indie hackers and SaaS founders repeatable,...

👋 Hey makers, I just launched a tiny tool I’ve been using internally: Indie PRD Generator. Most PRD templates are bloated and written for big teams. As an indie hacker, I just want: Problem Who it’s for One success metric (7 days) Lean solution that ships in a week Risks + kill/iterate rule That’s it. One page, Markdown, copy + build. I turned my own process into a generator: type your idea...

👋 Hey everyone, I built Indie10k because I was tired of sending unprofitable side project to tomb. Indie dev life is messy, and I kept asking myself: what’s the leanest system that actually helps me move toward $10k MRR? That’s how the TenK 6 system came alive: One Weekly North Star One Next Best Step per day, chosen from six universal patterns (List, Pick, Ship, Ask, Measure, Share). I’ve been...

Hi everyone 👋 I’ve just launched a new tool as part of the Indie10k ecosystem: the Idea Validator for Solo Founders. 💡 The Problem Many solo founders get stuck at the very first step: “There are already tools like this, I’m too late.” “I need a billion-dollar idea, or nothing at all.” “I’m not creative enough — maybe entrepreneurship isn’t for me.” The result? Weeks wasted on research,...

Today I’m shipping another simple but (hopefully) powerful tool for indie hackers: 👉 The Traffic-to-MRR Path Tool It shows how many visitors you actually need to reach $1k, $5k, or $10k MRR — all from 3 inputs. For example, with 1,000 visitors/month, 3% signup rate, and a $15 plan: → That’s ~30 customers → $450 MRR. → To hit $10k, you’ll need ~22k visitors/month or better signup/plan numbers....

Today I’m launching something simple but (I hope) useful for indie hackers: 👉 The Profitability Path Tool It shows how long it’ll take you to hit $1k, $5k, or $10k MRR with just 3 sliders. For example, with $19 plan and 10 new users/mo and 3% churn, → You’ll hit $1k in ~7 months, $10k in ~28 months. Super clear. No fluff. And because I built it for the Indie10k ecosystem, it’s not just a...

Hey everyone 👋 This started from a casual ChatGPT chat about backlinks. That tiny spark made me realize: most indie devs (myself included) can build, but don’t know how to grow. Result? Side projects die quietly. I wanted to flip that. Help indie developers reach profitable cash flow faster, with limited time and budget. No hype. No hacks. Just momentum. The Goals: • Not a project management...
