Hey everyone πŸ‘‹ 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 🧑 Likes πŸ’¬ Comments πŸ”Ž Search ✨ 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

Fiddy is cute little version of PH. Glad to see you launch it on PH @dijkstrah_

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.
Hessel Dijkstra
@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 🧑)
Samuel Briskar
Perfect! Thanks for doing this. I nominated our 3D libraries so I hope it is a good to fit ;-)
Bruno Raljić
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.
Hessel Dijkstra
@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!
Alexander Isora πŸ¦„
Whoa! Fiddy is getting mature :) Excited to see it evolving.
Hessel Dijkstra
@alexanderisora Thank you! It's been a lot of fun so far, so I think the hard work has been worth it!
Anastasiya Yavorskaya
Very nice platform! Thanks for your work. Already added projects and waiting when they become alive 😌
Hessel Dijkstra
@anastasiya_yavorskaya Thank you πŸ™Œ I'm busy adding the new projects now, you should receive an email shortly

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.
Hessel Dijkstra
@krupali_patel Thats great to hear - thank you πŸ™Œ
sxsio

Yaroslav Neznaradko (yarsanich)
Great place to share your side-project except PH. And there is a huge update from Fiddy 1.0. Especially new and silk UI! Thanks @dijkstrah_!
Hessel Dijkstra
@dijkstrah_ @yarsanich Thank you - most of the work the last seven months was getting the UI up to scratch - so I'm really happy that shows!
Filipe Silva
Hi Hessel, congrats on 2.0! How do we update our product's description added in 1.0?
Hessel Dijkstra
@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.
Hannah Milan
Oh this is nice! I will nominate A11y Resources :)
Alex Papageorge
This looks pretty neat! I'll submit some projects this afternoon
Hessel Dijkstra
@alex_papageorge Awesome - looking forward to it πŸ™Œ
Dagobert Renouf
Congratulations @dijkstrah_ I've loved fiddy since you started it. Nice work and beautiful UX.
Hessel Dijkstra
@dijkstrah_ @dagorenouf Thank you - really appreciate the kind words.
Jordan King
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.
Hessel Dijkstra
@jordankingxyz Thank you for the kind words about the design πŸ™Œ 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.
Jordan King
@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.
Jessica Bourkee
congratulations

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.
kavita manhas
Wow, congrats on all of the praise you're getting here on your product!
Hessel Dijkstra
@kavitamanhas Thank you πŸ™Œ really appreciate it.
