Hey ProductHunt community 👋 We're Rob and Mostafa. Two friends that talk about the future together. Indiedex is the first product we've ever launched! 😅 It's an automatically-curated list of indie hackers, marketers, designers, and solopreneurs. The idea for Indiedex came about when we got started building our first project, about 6 months ago. Soon enough it became clear that the only way we were going to find other like-minds to share the journey with through X was to scroll, and scroll, and scroll... We were at the mercy of the algorithm. Sure, there are ways around it. But they're not great. Lists need maintaining, and get out-dated. Everything else is opt-in, or you need to pay. But we thought, what if there was a way to automate a curated list of all indie hackers, product designers, and marketers on X and beyond? That's where Indiedex comes in. With Indiedex, you can browse by category and pick your preferences using our powerful filters to find others to connect with. If you're looking to list yourself on Indiedex, you can claim a profile for yourself too! These profiles will come in handy for the following updates to come, where you will be able to use them to share the growth of all your startups, and your progress on platforms like X and LinkedIn. We see Indiedex growing to be the go-to place for indie hackers and solopreneurs alike to find each other and connect. After all, we're stronger together. If any of this resonates with you, or you find joy in meeting new people, I hope you have an absolute blast with Indiedex and are as pumped as we are for what's to come! Thank you 🙏

Abdal Yousef
@robhallam Big congrats on launching IndieDex! Really digging the idea and how easy it is to find and connect with the right folks in our niches. The filter-by-niche feature is a standout – it's going to make networking so much more relevant and fruitful. Excited to see where this goes!

@abdalyousef Thank you Abdal, I'm really glad to hear you like the idea and are enjoying the platform 😊 If you have any feature ideas, I'd absolutely love to hear them. We're looking to grow Indiedex expontentially over the coming days and weeks!

@german_merlo1 Hey Germán! Absolutely, more than happy to connect - that's why I built Indiedex. Thank you for the support 🫶
Derek
This is such a great model for connecting with other makers. 👏🏻 An annual “Indie In Person” meetup would be fun to attend. Online workshops for indies would be great as well. Just some extra ideas 📈 🌟

@derkolstad Absolutely love these ideas Derek. I especially also thought about indie hacker in-person meetups being really cool. Glad you think so too! Taking notes ✍️ Thanks for the support 🙏
Brady Dowling
I love anything that'll get me off the mercy of a major algorithm. This looks amazing, giving it a shot right now!
Rob Hallam

@bradydowling Haha, exactly the feeling I had when I came up with the idea for Indiedex! Let me know what you think of Indiedex when you get the chance, Brady. Thanks for the support 🙏

Hey Rob and Mostafa, Congratulations on launching Indiedex! It's amazing to see a platform that simplifies the way indie hackers and creators connect. The automated curation sounds like a game-changer for networking without the endless scrolling. I'm curious, how do you ensure the quality of connections on Indiedex? Wishing you both the best on this exciting journey! Thank you for sharing your project with us.
Rob Hallam

@alex_dulub Hey Alex, firstly thank you so much for your support and brilliant question 🙏 So many platforms are opt-in now, or lists are out of date. Our automatic curation helps address both of these pain points. In order to ensure the quality of connections, we currently manually verify each profile. If the user is legitimate, and has a history of being active on socials without poor behaviour, we approve them. That process might itself be automated in the future should we scale, but for now it works! Just like having moderation 😁 Hope that answers your question ☺️
Will O’Brien
Hey Rob and Mostafa! Amazing idea and I can't wait to connect with the community! For now it's telling me to try signing in with a different x account, any ideas? The video intro was great and I'm looking forward to connecting with you and others! Congrats on the launch!!!

@ertersy Hey Will, thanks so much for the support 🙏 Are you still having issues logging in?
Will O’Brien
@robhallam No, they've been sorted thank you very much! I've been logged in for a few days now so it might've been the fact that I hadn't posted yet!
mohsen shafie
Congrats man very useful product for connecting with other indies like myself. honestly a good listing website for indies was something I've been looking for in a while and my best shot was searching manually on X or indie hackers or other communities like PH. I claimed my profile and will be an advocate of Indiedex so the database can grow and benefit all of us. hope you do a great job.

I totally like the concept AND the execution! It has even been an inspiration for my own directory app, the "Recently added" section is super smart 😎 Good luck on launch, I already submitted my profile, can't wait to test it!

Ayan Bandyopadhyay
@robhallam Congrats on the launch! Is this similar to indiehackers.com?
Rob Hallam
Maker
@ayan_bandyopadhyay Hey Ayan, thank you so much! I've had that comparison before, but no we're not competing with indiehackers.com We differ in 2 fundamental ways: - indiehackers.com charges $ for the ability to filter categories, and doesn't offer hackers a profile space to share their stats and progress - indiedex.app has powerful category filters that will stay free, and our plan beyond the MVP is to give hackers a profile space to share their stats and progress (MRR, upcoming launches, etc.) Hope that answers your question 😊 thank you for the support

To stand out in crowded platforms like X and LinkedIn is becoming harder day by day. I unhesitatingly support the core idea behind Indiedex. I will also claim my profile soon. Good going.
