Indie Hackers: how to get listed

Indie Hackers is a community of founders sharing revenue and stories, founded in 2016, owned by Stripe from 2017 and independent again since 2023. Beside the forum it runs a products database where each entry shows self-reported monthly revenue, and a daily “Build Board” leaderboard of build-in-public posts.

Checked on September 17, 2026 on the platform’s public pages.

Who lists here

Founders who will actually post — updates, questions, feedback for others. The about page says the site is for people making money independently, and a product entry with no story behind it sits unread.

What to prepare

  • A free account; the new-post route and the full products directory both require sign-in.
  • A product entry with name, tagline, category, business model and a revenue figure you are willing to publish, since the database shows it as “self-reported revenue”.
  • A first post or update — the Build Board takes daily votes on posts, and the newsletter is compiled from what the community upvotes.

What “live” means here

Live means your product appears in the products database under /product/<slug>/ and your posts resolve under /post/. There is no review queue mentioned publicly; a post is live the moment it is published.

Worth knowing

The founder’s own FAQ says direct emails get pointed back to the site — the community is the channel. Revenue figures are public and comparable, so decide what you are comfortable disclosing before you add a product.
