Hi! i m new here! How has your experience been with the wip community? How has it helped you in your indiejourney? Any tangible results might be good to share.

Recently I really struggle. I usually have only 45-60minutes of the free time for working on anything side-project related. It’s hard with doing activities with family and wife (I don’t have kids). Usually I start solving problems and then I need to switch to doing something else.  It’s super har...

I tested Copilot, Cursor, Bolt and Windsurf with various free accounts but I would like to set up one system correctly and stick to it. What AI Code Editor are you working with and which AI gives you the best code or gets the project done? What setup/preferences in your Code Editor do you recom...

Hey WIP, Bad day today. My Heroku console has 1803 critical errors :( Are critical errors common? Looking at the specifics: a) I'm using 1X professional heroku dynos. Surely they can handle this level of traffic? b) I made a big mistake with images. Trying to write them to Heroku. Hopefu...

Not really a question, but just wanted to invite anyone who wants to join watch me build a startup on Twitch at 8 PM eastern tonight and every other Tuesday night in the future at the same time. I'll be building one of my WIP projects (#simpleotp ) on a weekly basis. The link is: https://twitch....

As the title describes, when can you add the "As Seen In" badges? I've noticed a number of large companies have signed up and are using my app. In order to add badges for social proof, do you reach out to these companies and ask for permission or did you say fuck it and added them once they used ...

New milestone 😻 I reached 200 paying customers with a monthly ARPU of $37 for .  But my goal is 300 with an ARPU of $34. I crawl to $10K MRR however I can. But I can't imagine doing the same to reach, for example, $100K MRR. It will require something new, something I haven't done before.

How do you know that your production website or platform is up, performing well, and functioning correctly for your users?

I've been coding since the early 2000s. I started coding in ruby on rails in 2013 and never looked back. I still use jquery for all my front-end. It bugs me that I haven't made the leap to react/vue or the like, but all projects I worked on so far (freelance + side projects), I didn't have a goo...

Wow! In just 1 Week. More than 3K+ users. 🚀  [Image]

When scraping jobs, you encounter job descriptions in different formats, also from different ATS. How are you showing them in your job boards? Are you taking the original job post and feeding it to AI to ask it to "format" it to your liking? How are you handling the scraping of all the page con...

So this happened – a VC-backed company wrote in asking to sponsor my directory 🫨 I've had Ad spots on my roadmap for awhile, but wasn't gonna get to it soon.  Now there's someone asking 😱 So i quickly drafted a .doc showing my analytics, pricing, and mockups of what their ad would look like on ...

Currently trying to differentiate when to use Servers & when to go Serverless. Serverless will scale infinitely, although it has 1 small cost of cold starts but if the site is used regularly then cold start is not needed. Servers are inherently costly. Even if we don't use it to its full potent...

There are arguments that bootstrap is a bit too heavy. Any suggestions?

I see a few subscription model site only asks the customer for email and payment info, without setting up a password. How did they do that?

Recently I am seeing a lot of SAAS grow & I am thinking of launching one as a side project. It can be one off like whole automation thing that I make once & forget & it makes me money or it can be something that I have to keep updated like Web or Mobile Templates. As this group has a lot of maker...
