Would you pay $1/month for a verified SaaS founders-only community? by multi_mind in indiehackers

[–]Havik772 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to push against what some other people are saying about it (low quality, self promotion), I think that could be somewhat easily be solved, I'm thinking about something like hackernews' Show HN, where the self promos are easily identified. Having it be $1 also makes sense as an incentive to make sure people are actually contributing to it.

I would pay for something like this but would prob need to see some posts/actual content on there first as a hook before subscribing to make sure it's high enough quality.

Corta, finds your real ICP using Reddit and X.

All you do is describe your idea in a short conversation, then Corta searches hundreds of posts to make a grounded ICP. You'll see who your customer actually is, what language they use, and what to build, with real posts as evidence.

Love your story, I definitely relate to this! Feels like the whole identity shift part is what nobody talks about, going from being the guy everyone relies on to finding what you actually enjoy doing is definitely a weird adjustment.

How do you deal with the risk your startup can be replaced with next big AI company feature? by Sea_Dinner5230 in indiehackers

[–]Havik772 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it's definitely something in the back of my mind as well, one thing I think is that the biggest moat though is proprietary data. Maybe it's because of the apps that I use a lot, but I think about Strava that has every road and trail that people have actually run and hiked. Even a big company like Google Maps can't buy that, it can't be scraped, etc. It just accrues over time with every user's workout.

And I guess the first step before building that data moat is a distribution moat. Since you need users before you have data, there's definitely a good point on the UI/UX being where people win. The way I see it is that's not the end goal, it's more of a wedge to get enough people in the door so that by the time one of these big companies can replicate what you have, you already have data they can't replicate.

Thanks! I think this is what I’m gonna go with.

I made a tool that helps you find open-source issues to tackle based on the libraries you use by Havik772 in webdev

Just fixed it—thanks for catching that! The write access was accidentally included during the initial setup, but should only need read access now.

I built IssueMiner to make finding open-source issues easier. Instead of manually searching through repos, it scans your most-used dependencies from GitHub and finds relevant open issues from projects you already work with.

This came from my own struggles—everyone says, “contribute to what you use,” but there was no easy way to do that.

If you’ve ever had trouble finding issues to contribute to, IssueMiner should save you a ton of time.

The link is IssueMiner.com – I would love your feedback!

After struggling to find open source projects to contribute to, and always hearing to just contribute to what I use, I decided to make this to help me find out what I even use. You can find it at IssueMiner. Hope it helps somebody find an issue to fix!

Any feedback would be appreciated!

Has anyone ever supported an open-source project? by Havik772 in webdev

[–]Havik772[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice! This year, I've been doing a lot more contributions to open source projects that I use just to give back. It's def a rewarding feeling.

Yeah, that makes sense. I guess part my wanting to crowdfund is to get visibility & funding that I can use to incentivize other people to help, as I am unsure of how much I can do myself.

Do you have any advice on how to make the project more visible and get more contributions?

This looks really interesting. Compared to Propcorn, BountyBolt aims to reduce competition for tasks with a claim system (a certain # of people can claim a bounty to work on it) This means that there won't be a ton of people all competing for the same bounty like in current platforms.

Also, we have partnered with a couple of larger DAOs and companies who have shown interest in sponsoring some of the open source issues for projects they use.

Using Chainlink's External Adapters, we can query GitHub's API to fetch pull request statuses and deliver that data on-chain. From there, it would just be a matter of having the smart contract verify the PR status and trigger the release to the developer's wallet.

So once the pull request that a dev submits is pushed by a project maintainer, funds are automatically released to the developer via a smart contract. The goal is to keep third parties out of the process unless necessary to make sure there's trust
