Our take

Indie Hackers is a community of founders and developers building side projects and bootstrapped companies, and members can add a product page to their profile. The product page is free and created through a form on the site. Links are confirmed NOT to pass SEO value, but about 100k monthly search visits, roughly half from the US, plus thousands of AI-search citations make it a reasonable visibility play.

Connect with developers sharing the strategies and revenue numbers behind their companies and side projects.
