Community Post

Indiemaker is where you share what you’ve built – and let others experience it.

Projects, products, experiments, campaigns, tactics, or business strategies– if it’s something people can try, test, or replicate, this is where it belongs.

✅ On Topic

• SaaS apps, plugins, extensions, bots, and micro-tools.
• Code libraries, frameworks, APIs, or scripts people can run.
• Hardware or books – post a demo video or sample chapter so others can get the idea.
• Projects at an early stage – rough edges welcome.
• Campaigns, tactics, and business strategies – growth experiments, pricing tests, funnels, playbooks, or repeatable methods others can try or adapt.

❌ Off Topic

• Blog posts, essays, guides, or newsletters.
• Landing/sign-up pages with nothing to try.
• Fundraising campaigns, pitch decks, or curated lists.

If it can’t be tested, clicked, run, or tried as a tactic, it’s not a Show Indiemaker. Post it as a regular submission instead.

🛠️ How to Post

• Title format: Start your post with Show IM: (example: Show IM: A Notion plugin that auto-prices micro-SaaS deals).
• Include the backstory: Share why you built it, what’s different about it, and what you learned. That seeds great discussion.
• Explain clearly: Say what it actually does. Otherwise the whole thread will be “what is this?”
• Drop the marketing lingo: No hype. No sales pitches. Use direct, factual language. Personal stories and technical details land best.
• Make it easy to try: Skip the sign-up walls if you can. The fewer barriers, the more feedback you’ll get.
• Stay human: Make sure your profile is filled out and people can learn more about your. This space is about builders, not brands.
• Link context: If you’ve posted before or shared related work, link to those threads. Readers like to see the evolution.
• Be present: Stick around to answer questions and discuss. A Show post without its builder feels like a billboard.

💬 In the Comments

• Be respectful. Sharing work is a contribution.
• Ask out of curiosity, not cross-examination.
• When something isn’t good, don’t pretend it is – but don’t be gratuitously negative either. Suggest alternatives.
• No “booster comments” from friends or users. The community will see right through it.
