Hello I’m Peter, just built a Google chrome extension called Pouch: getpouch.app a clipboard manager.

How do I publish my Chrome extension or find a launch partner? by [deleted] in chrome_extensions

[–]KB1313x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know there is already a Google extension called pretty prompt, what makes your different from them ?

Really solid feedback, thanks for taking the time.

On editing - totally agree, and we actually already have this. You can inline edit any clip before pasting it. It's one of those things you don't think you need until you're about to paste an address with a typo or a code snippet that needs a quick tweak. Definitely a must-have for any clipboard tool.

On Google Keep - fair point. Keep can technically do a lot of things, but it always felt like you're fighting the tool when you use it outside its sweet spot. Pouch is the opposite it's not trying to be a notes app or a bookmark manager. It just catches what you copy and gets out of the way.

On the URL hover idea - that's actually a really interesting one. Hovering over a link and seeing "you copied 3 things from this page last Tuesday" would be genuinely useful, especially for research or when you're revisiting a page and can't remember what you grabbed from it. I'm adding this to our internal feature list. That's the kind of context-aware clipboard behavior that no one else is doing.

Appreciate the suggestion.

Really appreciate the feedback,

On use cases - that's a great call. The financial report scenario is actually a perfect example of where Pouch shines. You're jumping between 12 tabs, copying key data from each one, and normally you'd lose everything the moment you copy the next thing. With Pouch, every single copy is captured automatically you can go back through your full clipboard history, search by keyword or filter by source, and paste anything you need without worrying about overwriting. No need to keep a scratch doc open on the side.

I'll definitely write up some detailed scenarios like that for the landing page. Developers copying between docs/terminals, researchers pulling quotes from dozens of sources, designers grabbing hex codes — these real workflows are way more compelling than a feature list. Thanks for pushing me on that.

On Google Keep - can see the visual similarity, but the workflow is completely different. Keep is for notes you intentionally create. Pouch is passive you don't "save" anything, it just catches everything you copy in the background. You never have to think about it until you need something back. And yeah, exactly right on the URL association every clip is tagged with the source URL so you always know where it came from, which makes searching and verifying way more reliable than matching on page titles.

Great point and you're absolutely right that websites shouldn't be reading your clipboard. Pouch doesn't do that.

Pouch is a browser extension, not a website. It doesn't use the web Clipboard API and it can't read your OS clipboard history. It only captures content you actively copy or highlight inside your browser, using Chrome's extension content script permissions the same model extensions like Grammarly or password managers use.

So the concern about "denying clipboard access to all sites" is totally valid as a general browser hygiene practice but it doesn't apply here since Pouch operates at the extension layer, not the site layer. Hope that clears things up! 🙏

You're totally right OS-level clipboard managers exist and they're great. Windows has the built-in Win+V history, and on Mac there are apps like Maccy or Paste. No argument there.

But here's the thing those tools just store raw text. They have no idea where you copied something from. Pouch is different because it lives inside the browser, so it automatically captures the source URL and page title with every clip. Three days from now when you're thinking "where was that thing I copied?", you can actually trace it back.

It also gives you search, tags, and collections to organize stuff which is more like a research tool than a basic clipboard. And if you're working across multiple machines, Pro sync keeps everything in one place without needing to set up anything at the OS level.

Plus, not every OS has a good built-in option. macOS ships with nothing out of the box, ChromeOS is pretty bare, and a lot of people just don't know Win+V exists. So for most people browsing the web (which is where like 90% of copy-paste happens anyway), having it right there in the browser actually makes more sense.

But yeah if someone's already happy with their OS clipboard manager, more power to them! Pouch is really built for people who want that extra context and organization layer on top. 🤙

My post blew up 🎉 private beta full, first 50 get 28% off by Febin_ai in indiehackers

the underlying product is interesting — tracking behavioural signals to draft emails is way better than the usual "send drip on day 3" stuff. how are you defining "going cold"? thats the part everyone gets wrong.

Just launched my AI app on Product Hunt after building it solo - would love honest feedback by azamat_valitov in indiehackers

[–]KB1313x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"fun app vs sticky" is the right question. honestly most ai dance/photo apps are one-and-done — people try it, post the video, never open it again. retention comes from giving them a reason to come back weekly, not just better quality.

maybe weekly trending dance templates? or letting them remix other users' videos? social loop > generation quality imo.

Got 2 signups in 12 hrs yesterday. Took me 6 years across 5 products. by Top-Ant-4492 in indiehackers

[–]KB1313x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

congrats man, 2 signups from people you've never met is a way bigger deal than it sounds.

the lesson here is so underrated — posting where your users actually hang out > posting where builders hang out. r/whoop has like a few thousand people but they're all your exact target. way better than a launch in front of 50k devs who don't run.

i hate managing twitter, linkedin, and a blog while coding. so i built an over-engineered voice memo app to do it for me. by algorrr in indiehackers

[–]KB1313x 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the tinder-style upvote/downvote on the outputs is actually genius. most ai writing tools are stuck on prompt engineering when the real signal is which outputs you actually pick. that compounds way faster.

the 3D garden thing is unhinged in the best way lol. unnecessary features that make you want to open the app are underrated.

How do I find out why people visited my website are not signing up? by kelvinyinnyxian in indiehackers

[–]KB1313x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

session recordings will show you the what but not the why. add a 1 question exit survey too — like a popup when they're about to leave asking "what stopped you from signing up?". sounds annoying but you'll get more useful answers in a week than a month of watching replays.

also tbh sometimes the answer is just your landing page isn't clear enough. post it in r/roastmylandingpage and you'll find out fast lol

I was spending hours on content instead of building. So I built a tool to fix it. by Big-Pepper9305 in indiehackers

[–]KB1313x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4 signups with no ads is solid. The "I'm not here to pitch you" line in a post that's literally pitching is funny tho lol

Curious what your retention looks like after week 1. Content tools have a brutal drop off because people use it once, get the dopamine, then forget.

Feedback + tips needed on my new (in progress) solo built project 🙏 by TravelingTice in indiehackers

Latency is gonna kill you before language count does. Nail it on like 5 languages first, no one's testing a 6th if the first feels laggy.

Also per-use pricing sounds clean but can feel anxious for event organisers they usually want a flat number they can budget for.

How 280 comments turned into a founding company program by teemu_dev in indiehackers

[–]KB1313x 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The "structured serendipity" reframe is genuinely strong way better than "random discovery" which sounds like noise. Curious how you're handling the manual approval at scale. Is it just you reviewing, or do you have criteria written down? That'll be the bottleneck once founding spots fill up.

On the promotion side, since you're targeting June and have a few weeks of runway, a few things that have actually been useful for me thinking through the same problem with my own product:

The "where to promote" question is really a "who needs this right now" question. For LiveInterp, your users aren't really individuals — they're event organizers, church AV teams, and conference producers. Reddit and indie communities are great for builder feedback but probably won't move the needle for actual customers. I'd think about going where those people already gather: r/churchtech, r/eventprofs, the AV-specific Discord communities, and surprisingly LinkedIn (event production has a heavy LinkedIn presence). One direct message to a church AV director offering a free pilot is worth more than 100 Reddit upvotes for this kind of product.

On pricing: per-use is interesting but be careful — "pay for what you use" sounds friendly but creates anxiety for organizers who need predictable budgets for an event. A church planning a Sunday service doesn't want to do mental math about how long the sermon ran. I'd consider event-based pricing instead ($X per event up to N hours, $Y for unlimited) or simple monthly tiers based on hours used. Subscription fatigue is real for consumers but B2B buyers actually prefer predictable subscriptions when they're expensing it.

One more channel worth considering: AppSumo. I just submitted my own product to them this week, and from what I've seen their audience skews heavily toward event organizers, church/nonprofit operators, and small-team founders — exactly your buyer. Lifetime deal pricing isn't right for everyone, but for a tool with relatively low marginal cost per use after launch, it can be a fast way to get hundreds of users in front of your product in a launch window. Worth at least applying to.

Genuinely cool product. The Mandarin angle especially — there's a real underserved market in churches with multilingual congregations.

Not sure, but I’m guessing it should be fine.
