See what tools Indie Hackers use to build their products | IndieHackerStacks
Public directory (launched 2023) that catalogues the tech-stacks, SaaS tools and services used by small, bootstrapped online businesses (“indie-hackers”). Main features: searchable/tag-based list of products and the libraries, frameworks, hosting, analytics, payment, marketing and other tools they rely on; ability for founders to submit their own stack; quick outbound links (often with referral codes) to the featured tools. Target audience: solo developers, makers and very small start-ups looking for proven, low-cost tooling ideas. Business model: site is free to browse; revenue appears to come from affiliate links and sponsored stack/tool placements (no evidence of paid subscription). Because it is a static catalogue rather than a social network, there is no established “best day to post” or content-performance pattern; success is driven by being included in the directory and by external traffic from Product Hunt/Twitter launches. Recommended good practice: if you want visibility, provide a concise project description, keep the stack list complete and up-to-date, add a logo and offer a unique resource/tool; avoid submitting incomplete or obviously promotional/spammy stacks – such entries are usually rejected. Overall the publicly available information about the platform is sparse and mainly comes from its Product Hunt launch post, a handful of tweets and web-archived pages.
