What r/indiehackers keeps asking for
Recurring demands mined from the community's top posts this week, with the threads as receipts. Not invented: if it's listed, people are actually asking.
Clear, repeatable distribution playbooks for social (what to post and where to comment to
Multiple makers struggle to know what to post, which conversations to join, and how to get initial traction on platforms like X/Threads, not just “build-in-public” hopefulness.
Simpler, less painful creator/UGC marketing workflows or marketplaces
Founders are fed up with slow back-and-forth, unclear deliverables/currency, and unreliable UGC creators, and want tooling/processes that make creator collaborations predictable.
Easy ways to recruit vetted beta testers (especially Android)
Indie makers need quick access to testers for mobile apps and are willing to swap testing or pay for curated tester pools.
A compact social-listening product that tracks mentions across major platforms
Solo founders want a single, low-noise feed of where their product is being talked about across X, Reddit, LinkedIn, YouTube and Threads so they don’t waste hours searching.
Plain-language tools/explainers for option pools and seed dilution (pre/post-money)
Founders get confused by how option pools impact dilution and want calculators or simple walkthroughs that make cap table effects obvious before taking a check.
