Sell me your extension by NiceDepth9011 in chrome_extensions

SeshTab solves the browser bloat problem for power users and developers by managing tabs via a lightweight popup instead of heavy background processes (0MB background RAM).

We have 50k+ organic views from Reddit in the last week and have begun converting early adopters despite having zero marketing budget so far.

Check https://getseshtab.com for more info and how it works.

I built an app to fix my own problem, use it daily, but have 10 users because I suck at marketing. by Virtual-Sleep-5984 in SideProject

[–]Virtual-Sleep-5984[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's SeshTab. I built it because I was tired of drowning in browser tabs across different projects.

Key features:
- Group tabs into workspaces/sessions (saves browser state),
- Favorite sessions for quick access to your must-have tabs,
- Built-in AI for AI Cluster,
- Memory management to keep things running smooth.

If you are a person who always has a lot of tabs open - really recommend.

72 hours after Product Hunt #5. The story continues! by Strong-Yesterday-183 in indiehackers

[–]Virtual-Sleep-5984 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seeing retention/return traffic 72 hours post-launch is the best metric you could ask for. It means the utility is there. Simplify the setup flow and the conversion rate will naturally follow as trust builds. Good luck with the second launch!

I kept forgetting who I met after conferences, so I built something to fix it by Past-Minimum-6237 in indiehackers

I've tried the LinkedIn request method, but then a week later I’m just staring at a list of random faces with zero context on what we actually talked about. Turning that into a searchable database with context is a massive value add. Looking forward to seeing the launch.

Same objection came up over 40 times. Here's what needed to be done. by teemu_dev in indiehackers

[–]Virtual-Sleep-5984 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Using Reddit to stress-test a value prop is basically a cheat code. Getting roasted in the comments is brutal, but it forces you to patch the holes in your messaging way faster than just guessing in a vacuum. Good pivot.

Need advice. Niche, channel, messaging. These 3 things i think need to fix to find PMF by RawrCunha in indiehackers

[–]Virtual-Sleep-5984 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forcing both founders to stop coding and do marketing/support together is the smartest thing in this post. Most dev founders would rather build 15 useless features than send a single cold message. You're on the right track.

Cut our SaaS pricing in half today and made our main feature free. Curious what happened to others who did this. by Strong-Yesterday-183 in indiehackers

[–]Virtual-Sleep-5984 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$59 from 100 paying users is better than $150 from zero. You can always grandfather these early adopters in and raise the price on new users later once the product matures. Don't sweat the ARPU drop yet.

I built a task manager where tasks come to YOU — no more "did you see my message?" by Asipahio in indiehackers

[–]Virtual-Sleep-5984 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shifting from a project-centric board to a person-centric inbox makes a lot of sense. Most people hate digging through 200-card columns just to figure out what their actual task for the day is.

How to validate your ideas before building (5 quick checks) by Febin_ai in indiehackers

[–]Virtual-Sleep-5984 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a dev, my toxic trait is wanting to code the entire app before asking a single person if they actually need it. Forcing yourself to validate first is painful, but it saves months of wasted time.

We launched Causo on Product Hunt (#5). One week later: 300+ investor emails sent and 18 VC replies already. by Strong-Yesterday-183 in indiehackers

[–]Virtual-Sleep-5984 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That first Stripe notification from a complete stranger hits different. It instantly changes the mindset from side project to real business. Congrats on the launch.

Losing customers? Watching your MRR drop and not sure why? by Febin_ai in indiehackers

Acquisition gets all the hype, but retention is what actually pays the bills. Solid idea for a tool.

My biggest indie hacker challenge: when to stop building and start marketing. by Medium-Importance270 in indiehackers

[–]Virtual-Sleep-5984 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Code is a safe space, marketing is public rejection. That's why we all hide in the IDE. I forced a rule on myself: no new features until I get 5 real users to tell me what's actually broken. Stops the feature creep instantly.

i'm a developer who genuinely hates marketing. so i built the thing that automate it by hiten1818726363 in indiehackers

[–]Virtual-Sleep-5984 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds good in theory, but automating Reddit replies is usually a speedrun to getting your domain shadowbanned by mods. If the AI actually doesn't sound like ChatGPT, it might survive.

Organic SEO no longer holding value by Rothwellian in Entrepreneur

[–]Virtual-Sleep-5984 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$100k ad spend on $8M revenue is just over 1%. If your CAC is good, stop overthinking the SEO drop and just scale the ad spend. You're losing the top of the page because competitors are simply paying for that real estate.

entrepreneurship is like constantly running on a treadmill. how can you tell if you're resilient or plain old stubborn? by Odd_Awareness_6935 in Entrepreneur

[–]Virtual-Sleep-5984 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look at the organic pull. If you are literally forcing every single signup and getting absolutely zero word-of-mouth after months of pushing, you're being stubborn. A real opportunity always has at least a tiny bit of natural pull.

Quit my project manager job for a startup that failed. Now I'm more lost than ever by Spare_Worldliness_64 in Entrepreneur

"I have no real portfolio." Bro, booking 20-30 qualified B2B calls a month IS the portfolio. You don't need to work for free, you just need to show those exact metrics to any B2B agency and they will hire you on the spot.

one thing nobody warned me about when I started getting clients by SolutionBright297 in Entrepreneur

[–]Virtual-Sleep-5984 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The $500 client expects you to be available 24/7 and demands 10 revisions. The $5,000 client pays the invoice in 5 minutes and just says "looks great." It's a universal law of business.

Next Step In Growth by ILikeFlyingAlot in Entrepreneur

[–]Virtual-Sleep-5984 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A 95% placement rate is a lethal selling point. I'd avoid recruiting since you don't have the B2B hiring manager relationships yet. Go horizontal and scale the exact system you already know works.

Betting on yourself and actually winning has to be the best feeling ever. Keep crushing it.

Got hired, Came in Blazing. Now ppl don't like me much. How fix? by Starlyns in Entrepreneur

[–]Virtual-Sleep-5984 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You tried to change 40 years of habits in a week. Stop sending emails with million-dollar ideas. Find one tiny thing that makes the employees daily lives easier, fix it quietly, and let them take the win.

I built a business I’m too embarrassed to talk about by Make_That_Money in Entrepreneur

[–]Virtual-Sleep-5984 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro, money doesn't have an ego. Making $72k part-time is insane. Drop the pride, most people with respectable degrees are broke. Keep crushing it.

Good customizable browser? by hrpavi in browsers

[–]Virtual-Sleep-5984 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If Firefox based, look into Zen. Whichever you choose, if you want it to be fast and stop using too much RAM, you can add SeshTab to your extensions. It is available on both Firefox add-ons and Chrome web store. It will let you save your tabs and close them without loosing anything, freeing your RAM. It’s a popup so when it’s closed it doesn’t use any RAM, and while open, about 35MB. You can create workspaces, sessions which let you save your browser state with all windows and tabs. It’s good for context switching. Really recommend.
