You decide what your child watches. Every single video.
Tired of influencers confidently spreading nonsense?
You know the feeling when a creator says something that sounds completely wrong, overly sponsored, or misleading… but there’s no real place to discuss it honestly.
That’s why I built Kreator Directory.
It’s an anonymous, community-driven platform where people can review creator content, rate authenticity, and discover creators actually worth watching.
We’re starting with tech creators, and adding more every week.
Check it out: kreatordirectory.com
Great! I believe you should focus on this aspect and make it your USP. The more control on the reviews the more trust your platform gets. Good luck 🤞
BobTheLinkBuilder.com puts your backlink building on autopilot. Bob uses AI to discover relevant backlink opportunities and helps to conduct outreach to earn you more visibility. I use it for all of the sites I develop as a personal tool and now it's available for others. Thanks for taking the time to check it out!
I need this! 👌
First organic click from Google. Took 6 weeks but it happened.
Launched my web app about 6 weeks ago and have been doing SEO
work in the background the whole time. Today I got my first
genuine organic click from Google search. Not from a directory,
not from a backlink, from someone actually searching and finding
me.
Here is everything I did in roughly the order I did it:
Submitted the sitemap to Google Search Console and Bing
Webmaster Tools on day one. Also set up IndexNow so every new
page I publish gets pinged to search engines automatically.
Fixed the canonical tags. Every page was either missing a
canonical or pointing to the wrong URL. The homepage was
canonicalising to the locale-prefixed version instead of the
root domain. Fixed this so Google knows which version of each
page to index.
Split a 954 line landing page client component into server
components. The hero, FAQ, feature grid and prose sections are
now server rendered which means Google gets the full HTML
immediately without waiting for JavaScript.
Made the FAQ answers always visible in the HTML. They were
inside accordion components which meant crawlers could not read
them. Expanded them permanently and added FAQPage JSON-LD schema.
Added about 300 words of prose to the homepage explaining what
the product actually does. Thin content was a problem.
Wrote 35 blog articles targeting long tail keywords my domain
could actually compete for. Avoided the high competition terms
completely and went after things like "ABC model CBT app" and
"cognitive distortion tracker" where there was real search
volume but almost no dedicated content.
Totally agree. I saw genuine screenshots with skyrocketing spikes and what I also learned is that changing from classic SEO (for example “CBT AI journal” to “How to understand anxiety and how CBT can help you” in metadata in my case) also helps substantially with the latest Google search logic.

Added hreflang tags for 5 language versions of the site.
The click came from one of the tool pages not the homepage
which tracks. Very specific query, very specific page, first
position for a long tail term with low competition.
For anyone in the same position, the tool pages and long tail
blog content moved faster than anything else. The homepage is
still not ranking for anything meaningful but the specific
utility pages started getting impressions within 3 weeks.

Built 7 free interactive tools on a /tools page. Each one
targets a specific search query like "free GAD-7 anxiety test"
or "cognitive distortion checker". These are the pages starting
to get impressions first which makes sense because they answer
a very specific question.
Fixed og:title and og:url bleeding across pages from the root
layout. Every page was broadcasting the homepage title as its
own og:title which was confusing crawlers about page identity.

Love it! In my case I launched already and it detailed exactly what I implemented as differentiators vs. competitors. The rest of the info is almost 💯 accurate as well!
The mobile UI for the landing page once the report gets generated needs a bit of polishing if I may.
Great idea!💡
I built a product that fixes messy, unpredictable sales systems for B2B founders. I replace the chaos with 1 of 4 repeatable sales engines, installed and running in under a week.
It works incredibly well for B2B founders, works incredibly well for my own internal processes... but it doesn't scale.
I'm here to build the processes that can fix that problem and pickup some tips from you builders along the way.
Hello Strivle!
It is a big deal indeed, specially once you get the ball rolling and onboard a couple of big schools. I believe in August I will be able to share it publicly. Currently I have a school that is helping with UAT and so far it looks promising.
Here's what I'm building:
It's called Vibe Arena. The idea came from one simple observation: everyone vibe-codes now but nobody's made it competitive yet.
For anyone who doesn't know, vibe-coding is when you build something entirely by just talking to an AI. You describe what you want, it writes the code, you refine it, improve it, keep going until it looks good. No actual coding involved. Just you and your prompts.
So here's how Vibe Arena works. Two players get matched up, both put in $12.50, each pick their AI model, Claude, GPT-4o, Gemini or Grok, and receive the exact same build prompt at the same time. You then have 15 minutes inside the platform to chat with your AI and build the best product you can. Timer hits zero, everything locks, and an AI judge scores both builds on design, code quality and how well it fulfilled the brief. Winner takes $20.
That's it. No coding knowledge needed. Your only skill is how well you can prompt.
Currently building the platform and integrating the models. Waitlist is open if anyone's interested, would genuinely love to know if this is something you'd play

I do vibe coding and for sure there’s a lot of excitement hearing this. All the best and I do believe it is a strong idea!!!
I'm working on a snapchat alternative
Mostly Claude now, cuz I'm tired of it. I have exams coming up too
Anyways, take a look 👀

I agree but why not asking for the permissions once the user signs in? Wouldn’t this permissions make users less willing to register if they see it as they open the app? I don’t know just a thought…
Just launched layerbase.com after several years of behind the scenes work and a 6 month sprint. It is a replacement for the following:
Layerbase Cloud:
-Supabase
-Neon
-Planetscale
-Upstash
-Railway
Layerbase Desktop:
IDEs:
-TablePlus
-DBeaver
-MySQL Workbench
Runners:
-DBNgin
-Docker
Open Source (spindb):
-Docker for Databases
My open source package github.com/robertjbass/spindb is a database runner that manages your binaries. Think of it as what NVM is to node, but for 21 separate databases. The rest of my products are effectively wrappers around it.
My quiet public launch was this past Saturday (no producthunt or HackerNews) because I want to stress test the system first but it is officially live and operating.
I've never been more proud of anything I've ever built. I've already gotten an acquihire offer that I turned down because they wanted the IP. But as excited as I am to have launched, I know this is just the start of the road and the hard part comes now.
Currently all of my users are on the free tier (I may have to make it a little bit less generous once I have some name recognition) but most of my traffic is coming from my blog posts. The posts about DuckDB and CouchDB for some reason seem to be getting the most traffic from Google. DuckDB I understand but CouchDB not so much.
Anyways, I'm looking forward to connect with more founders. If anyone here has database hosting needs, or is curious about playing with a vector database for the first time, or wants to partner for hosting related matters I'm open to anything at the moment since I am still trying to decide which direction to focus on.

Serverless and Managed Databases for 20 Engines | Layerbase
Serverless and managed databases for PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, ClickHouse, and 15 more engines. Free tier with no card, scale-to-zero, monthly plans, per-database add-ons. Self-host or run locally with SpinDB.
Hi. I am vibe coding so any db related stuff it’s getting handled with minimal knowledge in my case by firebase which makes my life easy considering I do not have any IT background. What about people like me that are looking for hosting solutions without too much technical hustle, is it feasible?
I need name suggestions for my co founded Mini e-commerce platform.
It's a university platform where students can buy and sell amongst themselves. It's meant to be used by more than one school...
Building it with a fellow developer in the same school.

Hey all, I got tired of playlists that pull me out of flow every 3 minutes, so I built Drift. App that generates endless focus music you don't play, you steer. Drift between moods like gravity, and the music morphs with you. Never the same session twice. 🌌 Or at least that is the idea. 🙃
Hi 👋 I joined the waiting list. Interesting idea!💡 I also love the background animation. I had to admit I scored up and down several times just to play with it 😂😂😂
Hey y'all 👋
I'm Debbie — solo founder building Talvé.
Think of it like LinkedIn for creative professionals. Musicians, models, photographers, producers, directors, dancers, actors — one platform where brands discover and book them directly. No agencies. No algorithms.
Pre-launch. No funding. Just a vision and the stubbornness to keep going.
Glad to be here 🙏
Keep us posted on the progress!!! 👍
I have created a Marketing room strivle.com/rooms/34afca6b-a4b8-449b-8e24-6f18a…
Feel free to join and discuss marketing issues.
@Sebmatts there is potential in these rooms and could get improved a lot.
Strivle
Where builders come to compete.
A social network for founders, indie hackers, and ambitious builders. Earn your rank by what you ship.
For the rooms ideally we could have the option to upload files/images as well, or mark messages as actions/pins etc.
I did several improvements on SEO from articles to files config. 4 days in and I can see some results. Nothing major but moving towards the right direction.
Tips (I am vibe-coding):
1. Tell your agent to compile an .md file with the end to end SEO config and everything that has to do with your app’s organic discovery
2. Take that .md file and upload it to Claude
6. Take the new md file Claude created and give it to your agent
7. Start tackling Claude’s recommendations one by one
Good luck!🤞

2. Take that .md file and upload it to Claude
3. Tell Claude that you want to rank #1 on Google and Bing on your niche and ask for a vigorous audit based on the md file and your live app link
4. Ask Claude to create a new md file with the findings and how everything needs to be implemented (in my case I asked Claude to use natural language, no coding at all unless there is a beed for it)
5. Ask as well about manual input you can have apart from the working agent (i.e. configure IndexNow on Bing)
Stayed up until 8am shipping on Strivle.
Haven't even hit 24 hours yet and the traction has been insane. Founders pouring in, real posts, real conversations, DMs full of builders wanting in.
Huge things coming. This is just the start.
Get some rest and keep going!😴

Hi Ria! Interesting! We’re in the same field. Mine is called BrainHey, digital journaling that detects patterns and help you understand the “why” behind your thoughts. Let’s keep close 🤝
How did you hear about Strivle?
I saw the Reddit post 🙂
Hi! Same here. I can’t find RH. I’m not sure if it’s implemented yet or pending implementation.
I know I said I’ll come back tomorrow but can’t wait to share 🙂
At the moment I am working on several projects, 2 of them below (the rest are in early planning stages.
What about you?
BrainHey.com - an AI journaling app built on CBT techniques that helps people understand why they are anxious, not just how to calm down.
Quidso.com - Quidso is a private video feed for kids built entirely by the parent.
That’s a great tip 👍

What's the biggest marketing problem you are facing for your app/saas
I don’t have a marketing budget. Not yet, not anytime soon so I hope that organically I will be able to move forward 🐌
Hi everyone. Just created the account so I just wanted to say hello!👋
I am currently working on several deployments, having one of them already live.
I will come back with an update tomorrow.
Thank you Brandon! Just posted an update!
