š Hey Product Hunt! I'm Hailey, maker of SideProject500.
As an indie hacker myself, I was frustrated by the "build it and they will come" myth. So I spent 3 months analyzing 700+ successful side projects from Hacker News to find what actually works.
Here's what the data revealed:
⢠B2B projects have 2.3x better retention than B2C
⢠The $20-49/mo pricing zone is the sweet spot
⢠Most successful founders got their first customer in 6-8 weeks
This dataset includes full breakdowns of pricing strategies, acquisition channels, and time-to-revenue for 700+ projects.
