Hey everyone!

I'm thinking of building a tool that analyzes customer support chats to catch revenue leaks (like refund patterns or churn signals), does this sound like something businesses would actually pay for?

Your feedback matters!

I would love to hear from my fellow business owners about the most difficult challenges they are facing when it comes to franchising their existing companies.

I recently built a web application (https://curatedby.ai) that generates book recommendations tailored to you. The recommendations are put together by an AI curator that you can interact with and give feedback to. This project started as a way to scratch my own itch. I love discovering new books, specially when going to bookstores and being presented with a series of hand picked books with a little blurb on why I should read them. I've found so many gems that way.

My goal here to recreate that experience/feeling. The idea is that AI (LLMs specifically) present an interesting opportunity for readers to search the space of possible books and narrow on one they would love. Similar to r/suggestmeabook but AI driven.

How to start getting book recommendations:

• You start of with a Prompt

• It asks you follow up questions (if more information is necessary)

• You get book recommendations

• Then, you can interact with the AI Book Curator by:

  • Downvote bad recommendations (provides feedback to curator)
  • Send feedback message to curator
  • Ask for more books

• Finally, you can save books that you discover

Feedback request:
- How would you go about validating whether this tool is valuable to people out there?
- What could I do to make it better? Should I take this in a different direction?
- How could I distribute this widely in order get helpful feedback?
- As far as monetization. I'm adding affiliate links, but open to other ways of approaching it.

Thanks in advance for your feedback and time!

Hey Indie Hackers!

I'm a backend developer who’s been inspired by the indie hacker community, especially after following folks like levelsio and others in the space. Recently, I built my own project with a team, using React and Go.

We launched on Product Hunt last week, and it went pretty well—we ranked #2 and made $70 in sales with 5 paying users in the first 10 days! Most of our users so far are startup founders, and they all came from Product Hunt. Some have even asked if we’re offering affiliate marketing, which is something I’d love to explore.

Since I’m new to marketing, I’d really appreciate any advice on how to reach a wider audience, particularly in the U.S. We’re especially interested in users who create content and would benefit from a tool like ours, which isn’t exactly aimed at the “average Joe.”

About the Product

We’re building a platform that lets users create professional, studio-quality product demos, advertisements, and sales videos quickly and easily. Key features include:

• AI-Enhanced Transcripts: Clean up filler words like "uhm" and improve grammar automatically, or edit manually.
• Translation and AI Voiceovers: Translate videos into multiple languages and choose from a range of human-like AI voiceovers with various accents.

Any tips on getting the word out or setting up affiliate programs? Looking forward to hearing your ideas—thanks in advance!

After months of development, I just launched Ask Botty, an AI assistant app that solves two major pain points with current AI chat apps:

1. Specialized AI Assistants: Instead of one-size-fits-all responses, we offer 20+ purpose-built assistants (Email Composer, Code Assistant, Study Buddy, etc.), each with unique expertise and personality. For example, our Email Composer actually thinks like a communication expert rather than giving generic ChatGPT-style responses.

2. Smart History Organization: No more endless scrolling through chat history. We built a three-tier organization system:

• Auto-generated smart tags
• Category-based browsing
• AI-generated searchable summaries for each conversation

Key features:

• Multiple AI models (Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Qwen 2.5, Llama 3.1) to choose from based on your needs
• iCloud sync across iPhone, iPad, and Mac
• Available globally (including China, since we don't rely on ChatGPT)
• Enterprise-grade security (conversations stored only in your personal iCloud)

https://ask-botty.com

Would love to hear your thoughts on marketing strategies and ways to spread the word. What channels would you recommend for an app like this? The app is available on the App Store with a free tier - how would you approach converting free users to paid subscribers? Any insights on growing in the AI assistant space would be greatly appreciated!

Anyone working at a scale up see an opportunity to bring in a consultant to he refocus on vale delivery?

I’m here to introduce One Page — a page builder and link-in-bio tool designed for modern creatives who want a sleek, customizable landing page without the usual headaches.

Why? One Page gives you the freedom to create a unique landing page that can serve as your portfolio, social link hub, or even a personal website. We’ve made it simple but highly customizable, so creatives don’t have to settle for cookie-cutter designs.

Who It’s For? Our main audience is freelancers, artists, designers, influencers, and creators who want a visually attractive, easy-to-manage online presence without dealing with complex setups.

Where We’re at Now? We’re still in the early stages, but here’s what we’ve achieved so far:

• Custom page creation, layout customization, and card customization options.
• The ability to upload images, GIFs, text tiles, and links.
• Basic SEO customization with editable meta titles and descriptions.

Since launch, we’ve had 800 registrations and over 100 pages created that are visually unique and really show off the potential of the platform.

Who - we? Me together with my tech partner building One Page.

We’re growing organically at about 30 new pages per month, which is great, but our main struggles are with distribution and monetization. While we’ve received some fantastic feedback on usability and features, getting the word out to a larger audience and developing a sustainable revenue model are proving tougher. Currently, we don’t charge anything for the service, which adds to the challenge of monetization.

ROAST ME!

Thank you

Hey everyone! I have a small bookkeeping business and I wanted to make a tool for people that aren't ready to get into an accounting software just yet. It lets you track your expenses, sales, vendors, and customers as well as automatically updates monthly reporting as you enter transactions.

To get access you can visit my website and sign up to have the link emailed to you. For clarity- you'll get a link to a google sheet and from there you can make a copy of it or download it as an excel file. If you want to poke around on the spreadsheet but aren't actually interested in using it you can simply hit unsubscribe after singing up to avoid any future emails.

If you try it out and have input on how I can make it better or more user friendly definitely feel free to share!

Hi guys!

Screenshots of code and important data were becoming difficult to copy manually. We need to extract and use them quickly - as you know, we have another serious competitor now: time. Also, my wife is a teacher and she was spending too much time checking homework and preparing assignments. Reading and analyzing handwriting was time-consuming. Creating summaries and preparing questions took forever too.

Currently:

• Recognizes handwriting with 98% accuracy
• Creates automatic summaries from texts
• Generates study questions
• Has a simple and clean interface

I'm live on both App Store and Play Store, but now comes the hard part. To be honest, I'm completely new to marketing and user acquisition.

Biggest challenges I'm facing:

• Standing out among numerous apps
• Marketing effectively with a limited budget
• Reaching the right users

For those who've been through similar experiences, I'd love to hear your advice on:

• How did you find your first users?
• Which marketing tactics worked for you?
• How did you determine your pricing?

Hey everyone!

I recently put together a simple Christmas-themed game that anyone can personalise and gift to friends or family. It's a fun "Escape the Punch" game where you dodge snowballs shot by the Grinch in a festive setup, and it only takes a few minutes to set up with custom images and messages.

I've got a quick demo video showing how it works, and I’m hoping to make it as easy and fun as possible for people to share unique, interactive gifts.
You can check out the demo video on the landing page: gamegift.space

What do you think? I'd love any feedback or ideas on making it even better for the holidays!

hope you all are doing well

After spending way too much time manually planning and co-writing posts with AI just to stay consistent with my content, I recently developed a tool to streamline the process of creating SEO-friendly content. It’s a plug-and-play setup that handles the SEO heavy lifting with minimal input – crafted by AI, polished by human.

I live in a tourist city and plan to open an online store selling souvenirs and collectibles. So far I've set up my business as an LLC, got a business bank account, and credit card, and built a online store using Shoplazza for my website. I bought a handful of products from a local supplier. I also bought labels, packaging, and a scale for the products. Just to have something to put on the website.

I thought if I got a small storage, and purchased more inventory, and then that's when I would make the website.

I already paid the Shoplazza subscription and am currently listing the items I got.

What do you all think about all this?

Is this a good niche idea to continue to pursue?

Any tips on gaining credibility with suppliers and building a successful online store?

Do you have any success stories working with this kind of niche?

I’m open to any advice, experiences, or suggestions you might have. Thanks a bunch for your help!

Hello everyone. Looking to optimize my business expenses, and I haven't really seen much ROI from ads recently. Thinking about using that budget for something else, do you have any insights/ideas? How to get clients? Thanks a lot!

My niche: Online sales

Olvy.co is estimated to be making around $40-50k/month

Founders: Nishant & Arnob
Product: Olvy – Making release notes a conversation, not an info dump.

The Big Idea
Nishant and Arnob met in college, where one dove into design and the other into development. After years in SaaS, they saw a problem: release notes were boring, one-way notifications. They wanted to change that – and Olvy was born.

Olvy lets companies turn release notes into a two-way street where users can react and comment. Now, companies can see what’s working in real-time. It’s simple: customers feel heard, and companies get insights on what’s landing and what’s not.

Starting Small, Building Smart
The first step? Real feedback. They launched the “Olvy Builders Program,” inviting early users to test it live and give feedback in exchange for lifetime access. Watching real users in action helped Nishant and Arnob refine Olvy’s core features and squash hidden pain points.

Product Hunt: The Big Moment
After weeks of tweaks, they launched on Product Hunt, scoring #1 Product of the Day. A flood of signups rolled in, putting Olvy on the map. Post-launch, they kept the buzz going with email tips and a community on Discord.

Lessons from Olvy’s Journey

1. Get Early Users. Your product’s first fans are your best critics.
2. Design Matters. A sleek interface signals quality.
3. Community is Gold. Engage with users; they’re your best asset.

Olvy’s proof that even the simplest idea can go far with the right focus and a feedback loop. Nishant and Arnob are only getting started, but one thing’s clear – they’ve built a tool people actually want to use.

I developed a writing app and launched it in the app stores. In October, the app generated $600 in revenue. My goal is to increase this to $2,000 in November. To be honest, app development has been manageable, but I find myself struggling with growth and user acquisition. I’ve tried Facebook promotions and Google Ads, but the results have been underwhelming, with low conversion rates. I’m looking for better strategies to grow my app’s user base. Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated.

I’ve been at this copywriting thing for 3 years now with absolutely ZERO results. And by results I mean clients. (As a caveat I haven’t been entirely consistent throughout those 3 years).

I’ve gone through Andrew Tate’s The Real World copywriting campus, watched endless hours of free content on YouTube, joined Kyle Milligan’s Copy Squad, talk to a bunch of people discords, and even invested into a high ticket coaching program.

And no matter how many cold emails, DM’s, or LinkedIn connections I make, it seems like everyone is getting tired of being sold to even when I offer things for free. I try and make every outreach message super personalised because that seems to be the only way to stand out now. But that makes sending out enough volume very difficult.

I narrowed my audience down and I’ve dialled in my offer making sure it’s something my audience actually needs and is helpful for solving a common problem. I’ve put together free trainings and other lead magnets that are genuinely helpful for my prospects. Given out so many free personalised pieces of work without even being promoted for it. And still nothing.

And then you have the rise of AI coming which is increasingly making writing jobs look obsolete.

I’ve invested all this time, money, sweat, and tears into this and now I’m questioning whether it’s even possible to achieve a full time income as a freelance email copywriter.

It’s honestly starting to make me feel a bit depressed and totally lost because after all this time and investment I’m starting to think I should just quit. It seems like a lot of people around me have success and when I do the same things they do and follow instructions I hear crickets.

I don’t want to give up but I don’t want to keep flogging a dead horse either.

I need to make this work cos I can’t keep living the way I’m living pay check to pay check, being restricted geographically, and not being able to provide the financial security for my family or give them the experiences I want to be able to afford for them.

So I guess this is a last ditch effort to get some reassurance that it is possible or some advice on what actually works to get clients. Have you experienced a similar rut in your road? What should I do in a situation like this? Are there any better options for online/remote freelance work that pay just as well and don’t require me to learn an entirely new skill set?

Just give me clients god damn, I know I can deliver good work for them grr.

I am building a startup and I don't know how much I should put into it?

Hey everyone! I’m an owner of a small but determined private equity firm, specifically a search fund based in the U.S. Our mission is to identify and secure partnerships with businesses that have strong profit margins, EBITDA between $1-5 million, and a solid track record of profitability over the past 3-5 years. But like any good operation, our current strategy faces obstacles, and we’re constantly trying to refine our tactics to achieve our objectives.

One of our main challenges is reconnaissance and engagement: locating and effectively reaching out to target companies. Our primary method has been cold outreach—think of it as our initial contact strategy—but it often feels like charging into the unknown. It’s tough, resource-intensive, and doesn't always yield high-value targets.

Business owners, I’m seeking your intel: What strategies would you deploy if you were in our position, needing to make a strong impact and establish trust quickly with potential acquisition targets? How do we best communicate our mission and value proposition to business owners, ensuring they see us as allies rather than just another buyer?

In our outreach, we want to avoid coming off as an uncoordinated ambush. Instead, we aim for precision and a thoughtful approach. Have you encountered buyers whose methods stood out for their professionalism and effectiveness? Was there a specific maneuver that made you willing to engage in talks? We need to know what works on the front lines of these negotiations.

Furthermore, if a search fund or similar operation has ever approached you, what aspects of their strategy made you take them seriously? Was it how they tailored their message, demonstrated understanding, or maybe even the timing of their approach?

We’re in search of strategic advice to help us sharpen our tactics and make our outreach more effective. Any lessons, insights, or actionable intel you can provide would help us refine our operation and ensure our engagements are as successful and respectful as possible. Your experience could be the key to helping us navigate the landscape more efficiently!

Hi, everyone

I have a large audience 800k online, most of this audience like reading self help books, quotes, want to improve.

I don’t know how to monetise this audience. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks,

For those who do digital marketing, I believe you know the best performing content for businesses still remains video content. Yet, businesses still don’t make use of videos. After talking to over 100 business owners, the common reason was “cost”.

Professional looking videos are expensive to make, and that’s true.

So I created this animated outro video template for small businesses to use and showcase up to 10 services, contains a logo placeholder, call to action, and contact details.

I thought to bring it on here and let you know about this product you can use to create better videos.

Do you think you will find this useful?
