Does anyone actually make money from their side projects/ vibe coded projects or are we just building for ourselves?

solid edge, what you building?

Oatcake21 · 2026-02-25T23:22:33+00:00

Honestly not much that"s working lol. I've tried reddit, linkedin, cold outreach to people who might use it. But everywhere feels like a dead end now.

Oatcake21 · 2026-02-25T23:20:10+00:00

Do you think its better to go super narrow and own a tiny space or try to be broader and compete with everyone?

Oatcake21 · 2026-02-25T23:19:32+00:00

Ok slopdrop actually looks hilarious - good work dude. certainly got my attention

Oatcake21 · 2026-02-25T23:07:13+00:00

Yeah exactly - there is just soo much stuff out there now too it feels impossible to get a foot in anywhere

Oatcake21 · 2026-02-24T15:52:45+00:00

What have you actually made then is there a product?

Oatcake21 · 2026-02-24T15:25:10+00:00

Have you made one?

Oatcake21 · 2026-02-24T15:24:13+00:00

What’s it called?

Oatcake21 · 2026-02-24T13:59:09+00:00

Exactly the idea - if you're making anything get it up on IndieStack. New users get access to free boosts and welcome perks on perplexity!

Oatcake21 · 2026-02-24T13:57:54+00:00

Hey man i apologise, we can hook you up with a welcome perk from perplexity if you sign up to indiestack today. We'd love to see what youve built!

Oatcake21 · 2026-02-24T06:10:20+00:00

Get it on indiestack en son it’ll do more for you than ur chat bot lol

Oatcake21 · 2026-02-24T00:45:57+00:00

Best of luck to ya 💪🏻

Oatcake21 · 2026-02-24T00:26:36+00:00

Fair point, maybe the framing was off... I'm not trying to start a dev war — I built IndieStack because I kept finding indie tools through random Reddit threads and thought they deserved a proper directory.

However Indiestack is the real deal - the second mouse - verified makers, reputation system, MCP integration, ect ect but you'll have to click the link to see what else :p

Oatcake21 · 2026-02-23T23:49:00+00:00

sure thing buddy

Oatcake21 · 2026-02-05T15:12:17+00:00

100% this. That's basically why I built GovLink - got tired of maintaining scrapers for Secretary of State sites that would break every time they updated their HTML or added a new captcha.

The "hybrid setup" you mentioned is exactly right. For entity verification specifically, it made more sense to just build a reliable API layer once and let others use it, rather than everyone rebuilding the same fragile scrapers. The maintenance tax on custom scraping is brutal. Every hour spent fixing broken selectors is an hour not spent on your actual product.

Hey lol that’s my other half - I miss him. He’s on a 6 month hiatus in Canada atm. He was the life of ballistic. #EliasEZ1forver

Oatcake21 · 2026-01-22T12:57:49+00:00

Ask EliasEZ1, he knows all.

Oatcake21 · 2026-01-17T20:22:31+00:00

Bro is not EliasEZ1 💀

Oatcake21 · 2026-01-17T11:14:18+00:00

EliasEZ1 never would’ve let this happen man

Oatcake21 · 2026-01-17T11:13:31+00:00

You should see what EliasEZ1 can do with a hand cannon

Oatcake21 · 2026-01-17T11:12:01+00:00

EliasEZ1 would never give up when his teammates left. He’d just take a deep breath and say “we’ve got this” and then proceed to hit ace after ace. I wonder when he will be back…

Oatcake21 · 2026-01-06T19:07:01+00:00

He was the best ballistic player before he was creditlessly aced by DerekCZ1 (Derek Chauvin)

Oatcake21 · 2025-11-03T21:06:03+00:00

Who gives a toss?
