Another AI coding tool? (Yes… but here’s why I’m building it)

I left my “safe” job about a year ago. Since then I’ve been taking on some client work to pay the bills, and on the side building coding tools to speed up my own dev process. Like many indie devs, I’ve tried Copilot, Cursor, Claude… but when I wanted to build something real (like a web app with user auth or multi-module system), they just weren’t enough. As indie hackers or small teams, we usually don’t have the budget for a big dev team — but we still want to ship products fast. So I started building my own AI coding tool. My goals: <ul> <li>Understand complex requirements written in natural language (not just single functions).</li> <li>Generate structured design + end-to-end runnable code, not just fragments.</li> <li>Help indie devs launch usable products faster, while keeping design and code aligned for easier maintenance.</li> </ul> <a href='https://discord.gg/gKSuhwBd3j'>Discord Indiehackers Chat</a>Ads <a href='https://twitter.com/pyoner'>here</a>

<h2 id="behind-the-scenes-how-it-works">Behind the Scenes: How It Works</h2> Building AccentVoice.net wasn’t just about having fun — it was a technical challenge. Here are some highlights: <ul> <li>Real-time Audio Processing: Using the Web Audio API, the app captures your voice live from the browser, applies pitch shifting and formant adjustments, and outputs the transformed voice instantly without noticeable delay. </li> <li>Multiple Voice Effects: The system supports various voice filters — from subtle pitch modulations to full character voices — letting users customize their tone to match moods or personas. </li> <li>Cross-Platform and Privacy Focused: Since it runs fully in-browser, no audio data is sent to servers, ensuring privacy and low latency on desktop and mobile devices. </li> <li>Scalable Architecture: Backend services built with Flask and Celery handle optional features like voice recording and analysis asynchronously, so the app remains responsive even under heavy use. </li> </ul> <a href='https://discord.gg/gKSuhwBd3j'>Discord Indiehackers Chat</a>Ads <a href='https://twitter.com/pyoner'>here</a>

From Zero to 1M: How AI Helps Businesses Predict the Next Big Thing

Media and technology have woven a giant web. Information moves at the speed of light. Trends can appear, explode, and disappear overnight. Remember "cup stacking" competitions in schools? Kids raced to stack cups after class. But just six months later, the trend faded away. And what about those "double-collared polo shirts"? Teens wore two polos with popped collars. Some even had words like "DOPE" printed inside. Now those styles feel like ancient fashion fossils. For regular people, missing a trend is no big deal. But for businesses? Being slow can mean life or death. <h2 id="trend-hunters-the-business-telescope">Trend Hunters: The Business Telescope</h2> Spotting trends in the flood of information is crucial.

GEO Audits: The Next Big Thing After SEO?

A GEO Audit is a process that checks how often your business, product, or website actually shows up in these AI-generated responses, either as a mention or a cited source. The rules are different: with Google, you might still get clicks from position seven or eight. In generative search, only a small handful of brands, sometimes just two or three, are surfaced in the AI's final summary. The rest simply don't appear. <h2 id="why-are-geo-audits-gaining-attention">Why Are GEO Audits Gaining Attention?</h2> The search landscape is shifting fast. Analysts predict AI assistants could soon answer as many queries as Google itself. More people are relying on chatbots for direct answers, and often never see a list of traditional web links. What's surprising to many founders and marketers is that brands that rank highly in Google may be completely absent from ChatGPT answers. AI models tend to recommend only the most authoritative brands for a given question. As a result, "winner-takes-all" is even more true in GEO than in classic SEO. This is why more startups are starting to invest in GEO Audits, measuring how often they're cited, linked, or named by these new AI engines. <a href='https://discord.gg/gKSuhwBd3j'>Discord Indiehackers Chat</a>Ads <a href='https://twitter.com/pyoner'>here</a>

I earned $100 from my app in 1 week after a year of failure

Hey IndieHackers, I’m proud to say after a year of trying and failing multiple projects I made $100 in one week from <a href="https://grepjob.com/">GrepJob</a> - a niche job board for software engineers. Here is my story of how I picked a winning idea, got initial traction from reddit, converted to a paid product, and the lessons I had to learn to reach this milestone. <h2 id="picking-a-winning-idea">Picking a winning idea</h2> While I was working on MassApply, a job application service for software engineers, I learned that finding relevant jobs to apply to is very painful on mainstream platforms like LinkedIn. It was so painful that I quit working on MassApply, even though I was pretty sure people would pay for it. Around the same time, I discovered a couple niche job boards that used AI + web scraping to offer a much better experience compared to LinkedIn. These job boards were charging for access, and after some digging I realized that they are actually making a lot of money. <a href='https://discord.gg/gKSuhwBd3j'>Discord Indiehackers Chat</a>Ads <a href='https://twitter.com/pyoner'>here</a>

I’m now looking to partner up with someone who can take over the business (sales/marketing) side of things and ideally has a project idea in a niche or industry in which they’ve got domain expertise and a network we can tap into for first users/customers.

Who says bootstrapped means small?

Ben Chestnut and Dan Kurzius started Mailchimp as a side project without external funding. They focused on solving email marketing problems for small businesses. By listening to their customers and continuously improving their product, they grew Mailchimp from a small startup into a billion-dollar company. This wasn’t an overnight success; it was about consistent, organic growth driven by real customer needs. <h3 id="basecamp-building-on-customer-loyalty">Basecamp: Building on customer loyalty</h3> Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson built Basecamp by focusing on what their customers really needed. The company was originally a web design agency, and Basecamp started as an internal tool for the agency. However, they thought they were on to something when clients started requesting it for their own projects. Without chasing venture capital, they concentrated on creating the product slowly and continuously improving it based on feedback. This approach allowed them to grow a loyal customer base and a profitable business, demonstrating that bootstrapping can lead to sustainable growth. <a href='https://discord.gg/gKSuhwBd3j'>Discord Indiehackers Chat</a>Ads <a href='https://twitter.com/pyoner'>here</a>

How We Built an App That Changed Everything: Two Key Decisions That Boosted Our Business

End of 2023 – We tried different marketing channels and eventually realized that a web-based summary product wasn't going to cut it. Fortunately, we had already started working on an app. Early 2024 – We pivoted, transforming Storist.me into a service designed to help users improve their English from Intermediate to Advanced through engaging content. If you're worried about all the previous work going to waste, don’t be! It turns out that quality content is what users appreciate most, and we began putting more effort into developing the app. June 2024 – We launched the app, and things started moving. We were cautious with our marketing, but the results were promising. We even started gaining traction with B2B clients. September 2024 – By this time, we had paying users from different countries, made some exciting corporate sales (including with Muse Group!!!), and focused on improving the user experience. We’re now making up to $1,500 per month with minimal marketing spend. <a href='https://discord.gg/gKSuhwBd3j'>Discord Indiehackers Chat</a>Ads <a href='https://twitter.com/pyoner'>here</a>

Why Hiring Dedicated Developers & Programmers is the Key to Scaling Your Startup

As a startup founder, you know how crucial it is to have the right talent on your team, especially when it comes to developers and programmers. Whether you're building a SaaS product, a mobile app, or a complex web platform, having a dedicated development team can make or break your progress. But how do you go about hiring dedicated developers & programmers that align with your vision? In the early stages of your startup, finding the right balance between cost and quality is paramount. Startups often struggle with limited budgets and resources, making hiring decisions even more challenging.

How does "SERP" relate to SEO and search engines? How are website rankings calculated?

Hey, Indie Hackers! When it comes to digital marketing and SEO, you’ve probably heard the term "SERP" thrown around a lot. Figuring out how SERP, SEO, and search engines all fit together can really help you optimize your website and boost its ranking in search results. <h3 id="what-is-serp">What is SERP?</h3> SERP stands for Search Engine Results Page. Every time you type a query into a search engine like Google or Bing, the search engine pulls up a list of web pages that are most relevant to what you’re looking for. This list is the SERP. <h3 id="the-relationship-between-serp-and-seo">The Relationship Between SERP and SEO</h3> SEO, or Search Engine Optimization, is all about tweaking your website to make it show up higher in those search results. The goal is to get your site to appear as close to the top of the SERP as possible for relevant queries, so you can attract more clicks and traffic. SEO strategies typically include things like keyword optimization, improving content quality, building links, and making technical adjustments. <a href='https://discord.gg/gKSuhwBd3j'>Discord Indiehackers Chat</a>Ads <a href='https://twitter.com/pyoner'>here</a>

I built this extension for myself, but I want to talk to people and get feedback earlier for my next project. As developers, we are comfortable building products. That’s the easy part.

Hence, we decided to implement the entire scraping module in Cheerio. <h3 id="future-plans">Future Plans</h3> Key features that I am planning to add is ability to provide a Table of Contents to the researcher so it can do research on individual subtopics and create a detailed report of up to 5K words that can be used for creating high quality blogs, newsletters etc. For this we're using Langchain and increasing the number of AI agents to handle the complexity. Also, we are currently working on providing an easy to way to include your POV and customize the research content into high quality SEO ready article.

Self-serve Launch: Beezr No-Code Platform

We have finally launched the self-serve and we'd love for all the no-code enthusiasts to try it out and get your feedback. Beezr.io is a no-code web app builder and automation platform. You can build powerful internal tools to manage your data, automate your workflows, and collaborate with your team. Quick back story: We've been building Beezr since 2016 and launched in December 2020. Our main goal was to create a Lego box for builders to build software quickly. Top Features: <ul> <li>There are 2 distinct spaces in Beezr: The Designer space is where you build your app (modules, forms, workflows, dashboard, etc), and the Application Space is where you do the daily work of add/edit/delete data, assign tasks, extract reports, view notifications, and trigger events.</li> </ul> <a href='https://discord.gg/gKSuhwBd3j'>Discord Indiehackers Chat</a>Ads <a href='https://twitter.com/pyoner'>here</a>

RevenueCat has saved me over 50 hours, why do I love it so much?

To sum up, I recommend RevenueCat to all developers looking for a reliable solution for managing subscriptions in their apps. RevenueCat can be compared to solutions like Stripe, but while Stripe is web-focused, RevenueCat is essentially Stripe for mobile applications. It provides all the necessary tools for managing subscriptions, which makes it an ideal choice for developers who want to focus on creating content and functionality rather than managing payments and subscriptions. Thank you for reading this article! I hope my experience will be useful for your projects. <a href='https://discord.gg/gKSuhwBd3j'>Discord Indiehackers Chat</a>Ads <a href='https://twitter.com/pyoner'>here</a>

⚡ Why I chose Supabase as BaaS for my projects

I particularly like the Postgres Realtime feature. It allows you to subscribe to database changes and receive updates in real time. For instance, you can subscribe to changes in a table and get notifications whenever data is modified. This opens up vast possibilities for creating interactive and dynamic applications. You don't need to implement complex logic with web sockets or other technologies; everything works "out of the box." Another powerful feature of Supabase is serverless functions, which run on Deno. Deno is a modern runtime for JavaScript and TypeScript that ensures high security and ease of use. Thanks to this, I can quickly develop and deploy server functions that run in the cloud. This allows for the creation of powerful server-side logic without the need to manage infrastructure. <a href='https://discord.gg/gKSuhwBd3j'>Discord Indiehackers Chat</a>Ads <a href='https://twitter.com/pyoner'>here</a>

Looking for a business enthusiast for a software development agency

I have a team of developers and have good experience in developing different kinds of applications on both the web and mobile for different domains. But as time goes on, I want to root down, stabilize my business, choose a niche, solve a problem. Not wait for projects from freelancing sites, I'm done with those kind of stuff. Now I want to do something fresh, build something, it is still a software development agency but now we are going to solve a problem in a niche and grow in that domain rather than running everywhere doing different kinds of projects. Like I said I have the tech team but I want someone who could think,plan about the business aspects like what niche to choose,how to identify a problem,how to solve it, how to approach clients, how to convert a lead, how to expand the business.

DeploySolo - How I earned $300 in 24H from one Hacker News post

Then I found Pocketbase. Pocketbase solves many problems such as authentication, Database, File Storage, and Admin interface out of the box. But if you want to create a whole web app (especially without front end frameworks), there aren't many complete reference implementations. I simply solved this problem, by creating an example but complete SaaS boilerplate that demonstrates how to use this modern software to succeed as an indie hacker, without getting overwhelmed by complexity. It wasn't until I learned patience to not anxiously rush towards the easiest way to make money. With patience, you can calmly observe an information stream through Twitter or whatever your information diet is, and wait until you see something that speaks to you, before you invest the time in. <a href='https://discord.gg/gKSuhwBd3j'>Discord Indiehackers Chat</a>Ads <a href='https://twitter.com/pyoner'>here</a>

Realizing that he was not the only one who would find an AI application that provided Excel formulas useful, the founder decided to expedite the development process. He created a basic application that lacked a paywall, login, or any advanced features. The app consisted of an input field where users could type their instructions, a button to generate the formula, an output field where the formula would appear, and a button to copy the formula. Next, he shared the website on the Excel subreddit, where users provided valuable feedback and recommendations for the product. This feedback was utilized to develop the site into what it is today.

A react framework for indie hackers

At this point, I was convinced that it would be possible for me to build a framework on top of React that was both minimal and powerful, and this is when Firebolt was born. Firebolt is an ultra lightweight framework for building full-stack web apps using React. Most importantly, Firebolt introduces two shiny new things to the React framework eco-system that I personally love because it is both simple and powerful: <ol> <li>Unified Routes: A single directory for all pages, layouts, assets and endpoints. This is super intuitive and keeps all things accessible by a URL in a single place instead of spread out across different directories. </li> <li>Composability: Any component in your app can fetch or interact with data on the server (ie a database). This paired with CSS-in-JS means you build entire platforms using JUST components. This is absolutely mind boggling once you try it. </li> </ol> <a href='https://discord.gg/gKSuhwBd3j'>Discord Indiehackers Chat</a>Ads <a href='https://twitter.com/pyoner'>here</a>

From Python Notebooks to a Full-Fledged AI Job Search Assistant: My Tech Stack Journey

Hosting: Microsoft Azure provided the cloud infrastructure I needed to deploy Bridge Path. Its scalability and reliability meant that I could focus on improving the application without worrying about server downtimes or managing physical servers. The journey from Python notebooks to a responsive web application was full of challenges, self-doubt, and countless learning moments.

I didn't build in public, but I'm launching in public

<h3 id="mvp-done-and-dusted">MVP Done and Dusted</h3> It took around 8 months to build the SEO Flight Deck MVP. The intention was to give my E-Commerce customers the best Keyword Ranking Tool to suit their needs and budget. I was providing it to them for free as a part of an existing website maintenance contract and I saw it as a tool to help me retain customers, I never really thought about selling subscriptions to it. It didn't take long for my customers to start using it as part of their daily routine and new feature requests to started coming in. People were falling in love with it! <h3 id="decision-to-productionize">Decision to Productionize</h3> After just over a year of 11 of my E-Commerce customers using SEO Flight Deck and contributing feature ideas, I realised that this web app really could benefit a lot of website business owners, outside of just my customer base. <a href='https://discord.gg/gKSuhwBd3j'>Discord Indiehackers Chat</a>Ads <a href='https://twitter.com/pyoner'>here</a>

Why is Vue better than React?

As a developer who has spent a considerable amount of time working with both Vue and React, I've grown to appreciate the unique strengths of each. However, if I had to pick a side, I'd lean towards Vue for several reasons. <h1 id="simplicity-and-learning-curve">Simplicity and Learning Curve</h1> First and foremost, Vue's simplicity is its greatest advantage. While React has a steeper learning curve, especially for beginners, Vue is far more approachable. Its template syntax and clear separation of concerns make it easier for newcomers to grasp. In Vue, everything is neatly compartmentalized – the HTML, JavaScript, and CSS are in distinct blocks, making it more intuitive for someone who's transitioning from a basic understanding of web technologies. <h1 id="flexibility-and-ease-of-integration">Flexibility and Ease of Integration</h1> <a href='https://discord.gg/gKSuhwBd3j'>Discord Indiehackers Chat</a>Ads <a href='https://twitter.com/pyoner'>here</a>

They are on your phone, your laptop, and you can download plenty of widgets for free.

How Nicholas Robb built a six-figure business around his lifestyle to beat burnout

I studied product design and worked as an architect. I made a difficult decision to leave the family business to do web design full-time. I took, and walked out of, a series of seriously underpaid jobs. I got fed up of working for other people. I read a lot and applied everything I learned and I grew. At this point, I had some small measure of "success" by traditional standards. I had reached six figures, I had more prestigious clients, I had authority in my niche. The BBC even asked me to speak at schools about careers in design. But I was totally burnt out. I had everything I'd worked so hard to achieve. So why was I so miserable? At this point, I realised that after a certain point, more money doesn't make you happier. What "enough" money means is different for everyone, but I had enough money, and now I'd had enough of working 80-hour weeks too. <a href='https://discord.gg/gKSuhwBd3j'>Discord Indiehackers Chat</a>Ads <a href='https://twitter.com/pyoner'>here</a>

Seeking Honest Feedback: Review MVP NoCode ML

a) Is such a tool useful? b) Identify which features are most beneficial c) Learn about similar solutions already in the market Thanks for taking the time to read this, and I look forward to hearing from you! <hr> Feb 20, 2024 Hey everyone, I'm developing a machine learning web app aimed at professionals outside the tech sphere. It's a simple tool where you can input your data, and the web app will clean it up, provide some generic tips of excluding incomplete columns, analyze it using random forest algorithm and try to identify if any significant trends exist and if a more detailed ML model is worth considering. The idea behind this tool is to bridge the gap between data and non-machine learning professionals. Whether you're in marketing, finance, or healthcare, if you work with data but lack expertise in ML, I'm hoping such a tool is useful. But then again, I could be wrong. <a href='https://discord.gg/gKSuhwBd3j'>Discord Indiehackers Chat</a>Ads <a href='https://twitter.com/pyoner'>here</a>
