I was lurking for a while on indiehackers and i noticed it being a closed off, somewhat “toxic”, self reinforcing bubble where the main goal seems to be to sell stuff to other “hackers”, or maybe it just evolved this way…
Many of the products target other indiehackers, like courses how to grow a saas, “masterminds” to speak to each other, resources for being a digital nomad, etc.
Most of the actual business ideas presented there are micro saas, like basic online tools to send notifications or some form generator.
Most of the people talk about being on twitter in the indiehacker scene, as if retweeting and liking each others posts would make their business grow.
But in the end its a bubble where theres a lot of talk and “nothing gets done”
Instead of concentrating on being looked up on in the “community” these people should go out and talk to actual customers and solve real problems, thats where the money is.
But of course this doesnt sound cool like being a “digital nomad indie hacker” sitting on a beach in bali and coding away.
