Fiddy is a weekly leaderboard of the best new Indie Hacker side projects. Like, comment on, or share the best projects you find, or submit your own to compete every week.
Hey everyone 👋
Seven months ago, I posted on Indie Hackers asking the community to describe their side projects in fifty characters or less. The post took off, and from that, Fiddy was born.
Today, I'm excited to share version 2.0 - a weekly leaderboard of the best new Indie Hacker side projects.
New features include:
😎 Profiles

✨ Brand new UI/UX
Thank you to everyone who has been along for the ride so far. Please drop a comment below to tell me what you think.
Cheers,
Hessel
Love a few things about this site:
- the sleek design
- the emphasis on votes being reset every week
- maker is very active in builder community.
All the best with sign ups!
Hessel has additionally made the analytics for this site public (https://plausible.io/fifty.weeke...), I'd recommend people take a look to see the kind of traffic a Product Hunt launch generates.
@alex_harley Thank you Alex, really appreciate the kind words - and yes go check out Fiddy's analytics on Plausible (and while you're there sign up, it's an awesome analytics tool 🧡)
Hey there Hessel! I remember that post on IH (and later a twitter thread)
It's good to see Fiddy still active.
I liked how it forced with 50 char limits, so you have to think deep what your product really is. This is pretty important when creating an IH side project. Often we want to build all-in-one product that will change the world, and those products are hard to describe (and sell after all). I saw Fiddy not as another leaderboard place, but also a tool that indirectly help you position your product better.
Good luck with the 2.0 launch! All the best.
@bruno_raljic Hey Bruno! Yeah, Fiddy was dormant there for a while, but I'm glad I started working on it again. I love the 'tool that indirectly help you position your product better.' description - thank you!
I remember using Fiddy when it first came about. It’s super simple to use! I got my first paying user from Fiddy and I’d certainly recommend it for any product you’re working on.
@filipe_silva4 Hey, you can just email me at hessel@fiddy.co with your product name and new description. I'm working on an edit button that will hopefully be released soon.
Just subscribed! The three-column UX layout on desktop is stunning, hats off for a great design. My only piece of constructive feedback is that 5 "promoted" products at the beginning of both the "Trending" and "Top" views seems excessive. Kinda steals the thunder of the top projects if you have to scroll to see them.
@jordankingxyz Thank you for the kind words about the design 🙌 and yes I might have been a bit to overzealous with the project promotions - I'll have to limit that to one or two per day.
@jordankingxyz@dijkstrah_ Even if you wanted to space them out so every 10 projects there was a promoted project, that would be a much better experience. With Fiddy being a weekly roundup, you have quite a bit of "real estate" that people will be scrolling through. You could even change the pricing of the listings so that the first ad at the top is worth more than those further down the list. Just a few thoughts! Best of luck growing and monetizing.
Twitter + ProductHunt? Great proposition but why not make this a leaner endeavour by doing this on Twitter instead? I believe you will get even more followers than developing your own standalone app.
