Question
How will the GDPR affect Indie Makers? And what is important to know?
Just a thought.
We're a group of makers shipping together. We help each other stay accountable and reach our goals.

It's hard to say how it will affect us in practice, but in theory it makes it more difficult to get a new product up-and-running while complying with these regulations. So competitively it seems like a disadvantage versus businesses with larger teams and bigger budgets.
On the other hand, with more consumers becoming concerned about privacy there might be a market for privacy-oriented alternatives to existing products. As indie makers we can move quicker than established companies.
Great question! Launching a product that's compliant will become a bit hard. But seeing that most indie makers don't really have selling data or ads as a businessmodel, they will do just fine :)
(European) indie companies might be at a benefit creating simpler and privacy compliant products as opposed to corporate overlords from the US. We already see European companies pick us above others simply because we're European.
Also: Great market opportunity, we're jumping in as well with www.producthunt.com/upcoming/… / wip.chat/products/1337
