Over the last 14 months, my team and I have been building NativeBridge to remove some of the friction we kept running into with mobile development and testing.
I m Alican Ataseven, an independent developer and maker based in Istanbul. Like many of you here, I am driven by a simple but powerful philosophy: if a process feels repetitive, friction-heavy, or mathematically vague, there is a tool waiting to be built to fix it. Living in a city that literally bridges two continents, I ve always been fascinated by the idea of creating "bridges" in the digital world tools that connect users to the data and clarity they need to make better decisions.
The Philosophy Behind the Build
My journey into the world of indie hacking didn t start with a desire to build "the next big thing." It started with a desire to solve "the next small frustration." In the fast-paced world of digital work, we often find ourselves juggling dozens of subscriptions and struggling with the nuances of global collaboration. My work is focused on stripping away that noise and providing lean, high-utility solutions.
Honestly, I was nervous. Putting something you ve built out into the world isn t easy.
I chose Product Hunt because I wanted real feedback from real people and that s exactly what I got. I also gained great visibility, connected with many new clients, and met founders who truly get the journey.
What surprised me most was how supportive the community is. It didn t feel noisy or competitive it felt human.
If you re building something and hesitating to share it, I get it. But Product Hunt made that step feel a lot less scary.
Hey, I'm Andreas, and I'm a software engineer from Sweden. I recently built Earleaf, an audiobook player for Android, as my first Android app. The standout feature is Page Sync: photograph a book page and it finds that spot in the audio using on-device speech recognition and OCR. Launching on Product Hunt tomorrow!

I m Soumyo, a fitness enthusiast and solo builder behind ActForge Workout. - Mobile App.
The idea came from a problem I faced myself most workout apps look polished but rely heavily on fixed templates or generic routines. As someone who trains regularly, I always felt the logic behind programming (splits, recovery, frequency, progression) was missing.
I m Elvis. I ve got a background in computer science and systems integration, and I ve always been the kind of person who wants to know what s actually going on under the hood.
Lately I ve been building for macOS, mostly around privacy and network visibility. I wasn t really happy with what s out there, so I decided to build something that felt better.
Tools like Little Snitch are powerful, but they can get overwhelming fast. You re hit with constant prompts and technical details, and most people just end up clicking allow to move on, which kind of defeats the purpose. On the other side, LuLu is simpler but can be a bit rough, with people running into things like apps hanging or network issues.
