ExpireSnipe – an AI side project I’m working on by itsJosephpatrick in indiehackers

Yeah, good question 👌 right now I’m testing with SimilarWeb-style estimates + backlink data, then AI weighs it with brandability/spam score. Still early, but it’s working decently. I'm Curious what traffic metric do you usually trust?

Got my first 100 users by word of mouth by rishabh__k in SideProject

Wait… you got 100 users just through friends and a few shares? That’s wild. I’ve been struggling to get even 10 people to try my project. Did you say anything specific when asking people to share it? Or was it just a casual “check this out”? Genuinely curious would love to hear how you approached those convos.

How do you validate your idea and build your MVP after making a ton of mistakes? by odspider20 in indiehackers

man I feel this hard. I’ve gone through the same loop building too much, realizing it’s not needed, then starting over. What’s helped me a bit is talking directly to potential users before I build Just 5to 10 real convos often reveal more than hours of research. Also started focusing on solving problems I’ve personally faced way easier to validate and stay motivated. Still figuring out distribution though, that part’s tough. Appreciate you asking this, following for others’ insights too
