Let's take advantage of the fact that we (developers) are each other's target audience!
Post your product and I'll try it out and give you feedback, as a fellow developer.
You can return the favor by giving me feedback on mine: lambdabuddy.com
LambdaBuddy is a visual dashboard to manage your AWS Lambda aliases. (requires an AWS account). Any feedback is appreciated!
I'm building divjoy.com, a React codebase generator. Unlike most boilerplates, it allows you to pick the exact tech stack you want and customize your UI before exporting your code. Supabase, Gatsby, and Tailwind integration is next on the roadmap.
I really like the design of LambdaBuddy. Value prop is clear. I would suggest adding a pricing page though.
Supabase would be great!
Coming next week ;)
100%, the future for indie hackers.
Gabe, divjoy is amazing!
Thanks! Glad you like it :)
Divjoy looks absolutely amazing.
The only thing I'd like is some way to preview the code I'd get.
Thank you! A way to preview your code before buying is on the roadmap :)
Hi Gabe!
Awesome product! A very fast way to get started with a new project. It has so many integrations, seems very useful.
A few things I found a little confusing:
Thanks for the feedback! I'm going to add a pricing page next.
Thanks for the feedback Alex! A few people have mentioned they didn't realize those were dropdowns.. so definitely something I need to improve. Great idea regarding adding a prompt to create a page if it doesn't exist yet. Added to the todo list :)
Great, maybe you can’t integrate with my product for the backend part quickapi . Dev let’s talk … I am still wondering what are the directions I’ll lead my product … appreciate feedbacks
Go for it, great job!
This looks like a really great tool! Great job!
Thank you!
Hi Gabe. I am not web dev. But, your website looks amazing.
What tools/stack you used for it?
Thanks! It's built with Next.js (React), Bulma, Firebase, and hosted on Vercel.
That's great.
how do you mix and merge features according to the selections?
It generates the code dynamically based on your selections using a templating system. Gets quite complex, as there's lots of small variations depending on your stack.
Thanks. heard of next.js for a while but didn't really bother with it until this post. Went through the tutorials and I think I am ok. I switch away from react few years back ;)
Hi developers 👋
I'm building https://pkg.land/ 📦 (beta) - find similar packages on npm!
Example: if you search
moment
, https://pkg.land/package/moment will suggestdayjs
,date-fns
and more...JavaScript/NPM often have the reputation of "overwhelming" and I want to solve this problem for the developers (including me 😅). All feedback are welcome, it's only beta right now and I need ideas to move forward 🚀
This is a great idea! I will probably using this in the future.
Apart of searching a similar package I'd also display the package size. Ideally would be to calculate the size so I know how much package will increase my app size. Some packages does small thing, but weight too much to include whole package.
really useful ! I love the font on the search result page, whats it called?
Poppins, and it’s on Google fonts! https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Poppins
Glad to hear you find it useful! Please share with other developers you know and it would really motivate me to keep on improving it 🪴
Sure. Keep up the good work and thanks for the font.
OrgPad is a simple easy-to-use whiteboard for all your ideas. Unlike physical whiteboard, it is unlimited and one can evolve it over multiple weeks/months. In this whiteboard, one can place freely arbitrary texts, links, images, videos, or even embed other websites. At first, it might seem similar to a mind-mapping tool but it offers much much more. Currently, we have almost 14000 people registered, with hundreds of people using it daily.
Many developers use it to plan and track their projects, create todolists, writing documentation, etc. At OrgPad, we use OrgPad for everything in our startup, from planning development to business. For development, we have build the following diagram where each node contains another diagram inside. Each nested diagram is about particular part of code, overview of bugs, documentation, etc. For instance this is overview of our architecture and used tech.
Concerning LambdaBuddy, we don't use AWS so I can't say whether the product would be useful to me, what are the alternatives, etc. The landing page is quite clear, just I would add AWS mention somewhere to the top. For instance, the title could be "Simplified AWS Lambda Releases".
hello sir, great application, I have two questions:
Thanks
We were featured on Product Hunt only recently which helped us to acquire maybe 200 new users. We have never used paid ads. It is a slow organic growth over long time (we are working on OrgPad for three years now). We write about OrgPad on different social networks, existing users recommend the tool to their friends, etc. The tool is quite known in Czech progressive education, used by many Czech elementary schools.
The diagram you linked actually describes the tools and libraries we have used to build OrgPad. The frontend is build using React and a few ClojureScript wrappers, everything else is customed build. We have custom spring-based animation library (https://orgpad.com/s/yRyR-GOU0Pm) and custom layout algorithm (which moves stuff away when you open a node, or modify the diagram). We did a lot of work to make everything run like this.
I see, thanks a lot.
I am working on similar domain, deplying Lamda functions with TinyFunction.com and providing a simple database with TinyDatabase.com .
great job with tinyfunction, i like the concept I am working on something similar too!
Great, what is your tool?
Is there an option to keep budget limit? In-case If I accidentally call in a for loop, what happens?
Not as of now. Will put it in todo list. Thank you.
I'm working on https://versoly.com/ a landing page and website builder that uses TailwindCSS so devs love it.
It also gives non-technical customers super powers as we have 250+ blocks and the defaults from Tailwind are clean.
Some quick feedback
Both thumbs up for Versoly. Used it in the past and was super impressed with the feature set & super-responsive support. Great product!
I like to recommend Versoly for the more technical, but not too technical people. :)
Interesting. Curious - what's your strategy to compete with the likes of bubble, webflow etc.? Or are you different?
Great question.
We don't compete vs Bubble. We have a lot of customers using Bubble and Versoly.
Biggest competition is Webflow, Wordpress and Custom code.
Webflow is built for designers and has a huge learning curve. Most developers I know who have used it dislike it. There are marketers who have a Webflow site and still use tools like unbounce etc to get a landing page done quickly.
Wordpress is a huge headache and loads slow.
Custom code is expensive time/money wise. Especially as you start adding more advanced features like CMS. Developers forget how hard it is to maintain software.
Thank you so much, Volkan!
LambdaBuddy looks like a great idea! 👍 The AWS dashboard isn't always the greatest way to work.
I've been working on a tool called Polymorph for frontend developers to instantly generate custom UI libraries in React, Svelte, Vue, and other frameworks with Webflow:
https://polymorph.so/
Check it out if you're tired of hand-coding your UI.
Would love to chat about this for my product.
Currently working on a component feature that is very advanced. It uses Vuejs syntax and should be able to be exported as React and Svelte.
It uses Tailwind as well so no CSS export required.
Thanks Kennedy!
I'm not familiar with webflow but auto generating components from an interface builder looks like a cool idea.
Good luck with launching it!
I'm even later to the party. But I am creating a holistic application security platform for small to medium sized software companies or individuals.
It is going to centralize and simplify implementing SAST (secure code analysis), Dependency vulnerability scanning, Credential leak detection, IaC scanning (infrastructure as code) and more, in a simple and fairly priced offering.
Transitioning from a 'services only' company to offering SaaS.

Love this... Sonar and others needs a modern touch..
I'm building Nimbus a visual website builder for React developers that lets you visually build a website and then export it into perfect React code, saving you hours of time. You can build complex forms in seconds and set up routing and anything you can think of. It eliminates annoying boilerplate and CSS and lets you rapidly prototype different designs.
very cool!
I’ve checked lambdabuddy, and I think others have already shared what I’ve wanted to add. I like the simplicity of the page and also miss the pricing.
Together with my team, we’ve been developing a low-code and no-code web builder, bowwe.com. It allows you to create landing and micro pages, but also online CVs and portfolios, quickly yet professionally. It has high responsiveness, so the pages work on all devices and are aesthetic thanks to Pixel Perfect technology. And because of the high-quality code and top-notch SEO, it will prim you key positions in search engines.
I'm building remoteleaf.com, if you are a developer and looking for remote work, Remote Leaf will send you personalized leads for you based on your location and skills. 🎉

I've been building Progressier, thinking it would be useful for developers. Turns out 75% of my customers are users of Bubble or other no-code platforms. 😜
Your website looks pretty nice but I couldn't get what it does. Can you explain, thanks?
Great product! Wasn't even aware that it's possible to fully automate PWA assets construction fully outside the application build pipeline 👌
Hi everyone,
I’m building https://nutjs.dev, a cross-platform Node.js desktop automation framework.
It allows you to automate your desktop with JavaScript, has powerful, yet understandable syntax, supports on-screen image search and works across all major desktop operating systems.
It started as an open source project which I’m now trying to monetize to support its development.
This comment was deleted a year ago.
Sure, no problem!
Hi Alex,
I don't know much about lambda deployments but I can tell you that your landing page looks great. 👏
I'm working on https://buymeadomain.com which helps first-time founders and indie hackers raise "domain-name round" investment and thus validate their ideas quickly. Investors can help the founders by buying them a domain in return of 1% stake.
Please check it out & let me know your thoughts.
I really like the concept and the idea!
Thanks a lot, Raiyan! Do share with your friends.
will do Hammad! Is this available on producthunt ?
Haven't launched there yet.
Thanks for the feedback Hammad!
buymeadomain.com is a very creative idea. I like how you're validating it with the landing page and a signup form, that's smart. It's very interesting so I'll be following along to see what you build. Good luck!
🙌
I see the value prop of your product, congrats Alex. Recently there are few startups trying to build a better dev tool/dashboard on top of AWS.
More screenshots, pricing and more product material would instill confidence into visitor. I didn't understand the reason for including those lambda video tutorials on the home page.
And I'm building https://superblog.ai - a blazing fast and seo optimized blogging platform. Users can focus on writing content instead of seo audits, speed and design.
Such an amazing website! Kudos dude. I didn't see anyway to import content from an existing blog. If you do have it, it would be great to see this mentioned on the landing page.
Thank you so much :)
Yes, it is possible! I is mentioned on faq page: https://superblog.ai/faq/
Hi Sai,
I signed up for an account and it is indeed blazing fast! The ui is very responsive and intuitive. One of the most important things for a blog is the seo so it definitely makes sense to make it the top proposition.
Thank you for the feedback!
That's a very good point. I'll add a pricing page and more screenshots showing how the product works.
The idea was that potential users could learn more about how to use lambda. I also show how to use LambdaBuddy in some of these videos. I think I should add more context though. Thanks!
Thank you so much for the feedback, Alex :)
👋 Hey
I remember my experience when worked with aws lambda in project that has a little bit more then several functions, so my versioning was via git and copy pasting to lambda code editor each time, if i am get idea correctly you have solution for this -- this indeed pretty cool.
Now working on ssh2.me -- bookmark manager for your ssh connections(manage, search with fzf, shell integration). Have few beta testers so far that help me to improve service.
Nice thread, because developers niche is for sure special 🙌
This is brilliant! I love how it offers a ui for configuration and setup and then lets you use it quickly from the cli.
btw, fzf seems like such a useful tool, I can't believe I just found out about it, I'm definitely going to use it from now on so thanks for that.
I would emphasize more the benefits ssh2.me offers over an '.ssh/config' file for bookmarks, such as:
The landing page is currently emphasizing bookmarking, and not all the awesome features that are enabled by using something like ssh2.me.
The dashboard is beautiful and very intuitive. I can see that you're still working on it and some parts are not yet ready so I couldn't see some parts of it.
I think this could definitely be useful! Looking forward to seeing where you take it.
Thank you for the feedback for LambdaBuddy! The versioning actually refers to the versions of the lambda function in aws, not version control. I think I should definitely clarify it on the landing page! Thanks!
wow such review i didn't expect, big thanks 👍!
This review entirely much more detailed and convenient than my whole landing page, will fill my landing page with your points from review.
Hi Alex, thanks for sharing! I'm missing the pricing page on lamdabuddy, I guess it'll come later. I'm not so much into the lamda thing to say much. I would probably extend my gitlab pipeline for lamda deployments, if this is possible.
I'm the founder of bootify.io - I think devs are an amazing target audience, they are in general very supportive and friendly.
All the best,
Thomas
Hi Thomas,
I can really see the value of bootify.io!
I like the blog posts you have which teach related topics, I think this is a good way to market developer tools and get search engine traffic.
Also, I think it's a great idea that you offer a way to get started using the product right away without a signup!
I think the left menu (of the '/app' page) can be made easier to understand. It wasn't clear right away how I can generate the project and then use the "explore" and "download" buttons to get the results. It seems obvious in retrospect, after poking around a bit, but when I first opened the page it wasn't immediately obvious.
I'd suggest to make a clear separation in the ui between:
I think it would make it clearer if the "Explore" and "Download" were separate from the project configuration and emphasized more.
On the "General" page it feels a little strange that there's no "Done" button or any way to take an action. I've read on top that my settings are saved using the url/cookies, but after I was done with the page I wasn't sure what to do next. Maybe add a "Setup Entities" button which will take the user to the next step in the process.
Did you consider integration with github/gitlab? It could be awesome if there was an option to grant bootify access to github and then have it create a new repo with the generated code!
This is a really cool project, I would be a user if it worked with node/typescript. Setting up a new code project is a process that can definitely be improved and bootify seems like a good solution for that.
Thanks for the feedback on LambdaBuddy! My plan was to validate that there's really a need for it before I start charging, but now as I'm writing it, I'm thinking that when I consider using a new tool, I always check the pricing page and like to know in advance how will the pricing work, so I should probably add one.
Thanks for the long feedback, will definitely look into all of these points!
I guess for validating the basic idea I would talk/get feedback from potential real users working with lamdas, so you get a feeling if there is potential. Maybe there is a lamda community to ask if Lamdabuddy could help in their daily work? The 'real' validation then comes from adding the actual payed tier and see if people are willing to pay for the product.
Good luck for your way!
I like the website - even though I've never used serverless functions myself - I completely understood what it does and it makes total sense! Simple and smart!
I am currently working on Testkit - An application that makes testing super easy without any coding experience needed and fully automated. Of course this is not the final website right now, since we've just started rolling out to a few users very recently, but it's a good workaround until I have the time to work on the website (or delegate it).
Hi Yassine,
Testkit looks awesome! I like the landing page, it sells the idea well and looks professional. After initially opening it, my first impression was that there's a team behind it, so I think you did a great job with it.
It seems like you're targeting both technical users and no-code users (correct me if I'm wrong). I'd suggest to focus more on one of these segments and make the offering more specific.
If you target no-code users:
developers are familiar with E2E testing and the benefits it offers when writing code, but non-developers might not see the need for it right away or understand what it is for. I'd focus more on describing the benefits of visual testing and the value they'd get from it. What are the immediate benefits - save time, avoid bugs, etc. More visuals and concrete examples could do that well I think.
no-code users might not be familiar with terms like 'end-to-end testing', 'parallelized processes', 'pull requests' so I'd consider replacing them with explanations.
Also, I'm not familiar with no-code, but if there's a popular platform, would it be possible to use your product alongside with that platform?
If you could offer "visual testing for _", it could give you several benefits:
For example, I make videos about lambda functions and aws on my youtube channel and along the way show how lambdabuddy can be used to make the process easier, I got a few signups this way.
Hope that helps and good luck with Testkit!
That's some great advice! Thanks a lot, I'll definitely consider all of this for the rebuild of the website!
Hi, I' building Dealo, a tool that will help developers setup their billing in minutes, plus am planing to add A/B testing to help find the right pricing model and how much can you charge. I beleive this would help speed their growth.

Hi Alex and fellow non-marketers 🙋♂️
I've been building products for years now - and marketing feels so cringe lollolll
I've tried find a marketer partner and work with agencies but that was painful and was not really sustainable.
So I've started building Evercopy - an "AI growth partner for non-marketers" literally to never do marketing myself again :D
Happy to chat if you are a non-marketer builder feeling the same!
Also would be great to exchange feedbacks if you are open.
Good luck on your journey!
I have built a landing page template for indiehackers.
Here it is https://usegojo.com/
Nice I'll pass it on my CTO.
https://www.contentable.ai - We make it easy to compare AI models before you adopt AI in your business. You can rapidly prototype and iterate on your model by getting feedback from users right away. Developers choosing to add AI to their products need to do so after evaluating all available options. Our tool makes it easy for developers to evaluate, automate and collaborate on AI models.
Getting feedback has been an uphill ask as developers. I almost got kicked out of a slack community as I was asking for feedback and the users felt spammed.

Hi Everyone! We just soft-launched a tool to help devs and sw testers to generate test data. We would love to get some feedback on the landing page and usability >> https://www.yadget.co
Love the idea. Will it be possible to define some thresholds and set a form a distribution?
Thanks! Can you please explain more about what you would like to see? Perhaps a use case will help...
Hi everyone, some nice stuff you’re making here!
I’m working on https://indietools.dev - the “product hunt” for developer tools.
Please, add the amazing tools you’re working on.
Alright so Im building helicity ai, an AI powered in browser game engine so you can make a game with a single prompt.
Hi there!
I would love to get feedback on Unrefined, a webapp to run software engineering ticket refinement and estimation sessions for remote teams, https://unrefined.one. Thanks for the opportunity!
Regarding LambdaBuddy, having worked with AWS Lambda and its pain points, I see the value you are providing! Managing all the details of many (but even one) lamdbas from AWS's console is a PITA, nice to have some simple tooling around it!
Also, bonus points for the video lessons, great idea!
esign and build their own serverless functions using a visual interface and deploy them to their own cloud accounts. Would love to get your feedback once it's live!
Not specifically for developers, but my startup https://www.snapit.gg supports code snippet mockups that are often used by developers. It's an easy way to share code in a professional looking way. You might want to try it. https://www.snapit.gg/templates
Hey, I've recently bought the domain "reviewinpublic.com". I want it to be a space where people building projects can ask for feedback from others in their position - just like you have here.
One small comment the "signup for free" under your CTA isn't that visible. Having a light grey on a white background is hard to see. And having a free sign up is definitely something you want your users to see.
Not that specific for developers however if you are freelancer developer and looking for a way to show your work progress and get feedback you might be interested in looking into my saas. Not launched yet, you are more then welcome to register interest. https://www.therein.io/
a web app to help web developers create home page videos / demo videos (turn text into AI spokesperson video type)

Hey Alex, love this idea for a post.
I checked out Lambabuddy, looks cool, although I'm not a Lambda user so probably not the exact target audience. I was curious how you plan to monetize the product?
I'm working on Kinde which is a product for technical founders. The idea is to provide a one-stop shop for auth / feature flags / billing / support etc so that the developer can focus on building their actual product and get to market quicker.
Details: https://kinde.com
Hi everyone, thanks @alex_ for initiative!
I’m building usegenerated.com a starter kit for node/nestjs and react(bolerplate + CLI)
It’s gonna be the fastest way I know for developing a web app that has lots of models. Spend no time on repetitive boilerplate!
Input: the data models or give an existing database
Backend:
Frontend:
As you can imagine maintaining refactoring the generated parts will be a breeze, just change a template or a config file and run a command. This is ideal in product-market-fit stage when there could be lots of changes. You don’t need to overthink it upfront you can always get back and add or change one template.
I don't use this stack, but your site and visual approach to creating boilerplates is amazing! Congrats!
Hi @alex_ and everyone 👋
My brother and I have just launched our scalable cloud graph database SurrealDB in public open beta (completely free to use)! We've been working on this for a number of years, and are completely bootstrapped.
The first beta version supports a large amount of functionality, with the ability to run in a highly-available, highly-scalable distributed environment. A highly-performant query language enables use of many different data types, and embedded JavaScript functions can be used for more complex functions and triggers.
We wanted to create a database that people didn't have to manage, so they could focus on building applications, not the infrastructure. We wanted users to be able to use schema-less and schema-full data patterns effortlessly, a database to operate like a relational database (without the JOINs), but with the same functionality as the best document and graph databases. And with security and access permissions to be handled right within the database itself. We wanted users to be able to build modern real-time applications effortlessly - right from Chrome, Edge, or Safari. No more complicated backends.
We would love you all to check it out and welcome any feedback - https://surrealdb.com!
Hey there! We are building Stylebit a design system management platform. We are syncing the design system from Figma to GitHub.
We are working on a "Design Workers API" which lets developers create and automate the design system delivery to the code. Like creating the support for Tailwind, Material UI or any other library/tool which has its own theming style. Exports to Style Dictionary and much more.
Like you can send notifications to Discord/Slack, update some pages in Notion and so on.
Would love you all to check out and give feedback!
I'm building multy.dev, an open-source tool (github) to deploy and switch to any cloud provider (AWS, Azure, GCP, etc). You don't need to learn all cloud providers and still be ready to move or easily do multi-cloud to leverage the best of all clouds.
Any feedback from developers would be amazing!
That looks nice and useful!
How do you deal with data ? I.e. businesses start to accumulate lots of data after some time, say in Amazon S3, which creates a big barrier to moving cloud provider. Some kind of incremental data sync tool might help, but you'll still pay hefty egress fees... :/
Yea, we're not tackling data right now, but it's definitely a big concern as well.
Big cloud providers charge huge amounts in egress fees, so it's not a possibility for many companies to have their data replicated across those. But some smaller clouds don't charge as much, so we see a world where you can truly change clouds without spending a ridiculous amount of money.
Yeah...the egress fees are nuts. I understand why they do it but still :( Maybe someday there will be some regulation around siwtching cloud providers, as imo it stifles competition (e.g. in the UK there are regulations to allow consumers to switch phone, broadband etc while keeping your number and with a minimal amount of fuss and costs). Not holding my breath though.
Interesting project, will definitely keep an eye on it.
How does this compete with Kubernetes? Because Kubernetes is similarly positioned as a unifying layer of hybrid cloud infra
Kubernetes is very good at making your workloads portable.
However, a lot of people still use cloud-native managed services such as databases, storage, key vaults, virtual networks, etc, because they are usually cheaper and take care a lot of management for you.
In that case, you are usually locked in to a cloud. But the truth is, cloud-native services are similar in all clouds, except for a few differences and nuances. That's what we are tackling, making sure you can leverage cloud-native services while being as portable as possible.
yep , managed services lift and shift is a good story but its a pretty rare event i would say. Still its a real problem that people get locked in to managed services 100% !
thanks for the thoughtful response
I am building Mechcloud (https://docs.mechcloud.io) which is a tool to visualize kubernetes clusters / applications and public clouds ( AWS, GCP, Azure) infrastructure.
This sounds really cool! I would love to try it out but the instructions are very hard to understand. I don't even get if this is ready to be used or not. Is there a an easy getting started guide?
Hello! I just finished my beta on https://freshenv.io
This is a solution to a problem I have always had. I like my system to be clean, minimal and structured. It gets quite tricky to manage multiple projects on my on machine, projects tend to gather and are placed everywhere. Overtime managing system wide dependencies becomes a problem. It is quite easy to mess up a system setting or to keep track of a package I wont need tomorrow. This is why I built freshenv. It is a command line application which helps developers in running and managing completely isolated developer environments locally. It builds and lets you run environment flavours in the form of docker containers which are preconfigured with tools and packages developer needs everyday. Read about the usage below. I imagine it would help developers like me. I hope you like it.
Hey everyone 👋
I’m building 🌈HackerList
It’s an automatically-generated portfolio for developers that ranks your skills based on your GitHub and StackOverflow profiles.
Here are some examples of real profiles:
https://hackerli.st/@robindaugherty

https://hackerli.st/@codemouse92
I’d love to hear your thoughts, thanks!
I like the idea. Obviously, the majority of my code isn't on GitHub:)
I just released BingoAPI a few days ago on RapidAPI.com. It is a straightforward API to generate Bingo cards following both US and EU rules.
It is not that sofisticated and edgy piece of SW but aims to offload this process as it could be resource intensive.
And of course I used AWS API Gateway and Lambda ;)
I really liked the clearness of your website and the idea of linking video guides!
Keep up!
I have two!
ExtensionPay.com makes it really easy to take payments in your browser extensions without writing or running your own server backend. It basically de-risks the time and cost of monetizing extensions.
SvelteSaaS.com is a template for building SaaS apps on top of the amazing new SvelteKit framework. It saves you weeks of coding common SaaS features (user auth, admin pages, etc).
Yes, Explain Code App - https://www.explaincode.app/
Its a new app releasing soon that I built to help developers understand code quickly. You paste in a snippet of code, it gives you an explanation in a few seconds.
Cheers.
I am building RetroTeam (https://retroteam.app/), an app that allows teams to conduct retrospectives after an agile sprint. Easy to use and free.
With built in templates like went well, improve and ones you can create yourself, the sky is the limit to ensuring you have a high performing team during dev srpints
This might be the best thread of the week!
wow! this is awesome! great job man! will share you product. is this on producthunt yet ?
Congrats on the launch! I don't have AWS Lambda experience but this looks a lot easier to manage than the bible-sized documentation that Amazon provides.
I'm struggling with words to describe exactly why but I find the chosen green for your CTA button seems out of place. Maybe you want it different from the 'Watch FREE' buttons but I feel that colour is more inviting. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
I'm building Acrobox --- a PaaS for solo indie hackers to rapidly build, deploy, observe, and iterate on multiple creative projects at a fixed cost.
Acrobox provisions infrastructure with minimal footprint on your DigitalOcean account complete with SSH keys, a network layer firewall, independently scalable block storage, software updates, backups, and more with a single command. Manage sites, services, tasks, databases, and more with the same tool.
I'm also blogging about my journey as a solo indie hacker. Here's my most recent post about Acrobox. https://pnelson.ca/posts/gone-indie
Hi! How is Acrobox doing? I'm interested because I had a similar idea recently but slightly different from this one.
As a product, fantastic! As a business, I'm the only user. This was my first public post about it. More to come!
lambdabuddy looks cool, but it doesn't solve a problem for me. I don't use the UI interface to manage my lambdas. I have a lot of experience working with lambdas, so I may not be the right target user for your product. For what it's worth, for simple projects where I need just one or two endpoints, I don't use lambdas at all, but go with Cloudflare Workers.
Thanks for the feedback!
Do you mind if I'll shoot you a quick email with some questions about how you use lambdas?
I am building SideInvest.io where you can sell/buy/invest in side-projects. This is in a pretty early stage but I am getting very good traction and feedback from the users.
Landing page is clean and straight to the point with clear CTAs 👌. After the sign up all of the projects are hidden, so it makes a bit harder to justify the subscription for the service. It feels like having some sample information about the projects on the platform would make it a bit easier.
noted, I am making some of the information public to make it easier for the user to decide if they want to subscribe the product
I'm building https://chromeextensionideas.substack.com/ - It's a newsletter for developers where we share pre-validated chrome extension ideas.
Hey this is cool! I wonder if you'd include my project ExtensionPay in there sometime!
We can probably do a swap. DM me https://twitter.com/honeydreamss
I do actually, bannernote.com - easy integration, no code tool to increase conversation rates for websites and apps.
Thanks for sharing!
One thing which stumbled upon me on the landing page is animation in the card scroll panel. It's a bit jittery on my system. Using CSS Animations would give a much smoother result.
thanks for the feedback. I will launch a redesigned website soon!
how is the user's feedback, did you get paying users?
Yes, I already have paying customers. :) Did you try it on your own already?
Hey Alex, just my two cents. I’m currently building my product on AWS Lambda. Do you integrate with the serverless framework? Do you support docker containers? What’s the pricing? Can’t really consider your product without knowing these answers.
I do really like the tutorials—I think those are great. Would love to see it using serverless instead of the AWS gui though.
Thank you!
Sure, it can be used alongside or any deployment method, also docker. Going to add a pricing page next. I think the landing page doesn't do a very good job explaining what lambdabuddy does to experienced users so this is something I'm going to work on.
Do you mind if I'll send you a quick email with a few questions about how you use lambda? I'd really appreciate it.
Cool! Sure, feel free to follow up with a few questions
Check out ruttl.com
It's a great tool for feedback collaboration between developers and designers.
Hey Alex! Thanks for creating this post. A couple thoughts on LambdaBuddy:
Hope this helps!
I'm working on https://idsimple.io, single sign-on for your staging app environments. If you want to keep these environments private (which is always a good idea) teams or agencies often end up sharing basic auth credentials which can be cumbersome to manage with a lot of people. idsimple allows you to easily access your non-production environments while keeping them private and eliminating the need to manage passwords.
Currently in beta and would love some feedback! I have an integration for ruby/rails apps built and excited to build out more integrations.
Hey Ari,
idsimple.io is an awesome idea! I didn't understand it from the title but after reading the problem/solution section I got it. I suggest to improve the main title. I like the idea a lot, I think there's definitely a use for that. Many times I needed a quick way to protect an admin or some internal pages. I thought about building an internal tool for that but I always end up using basic auth.
Thanks for the feedback! The keys need minimal permissions for the app to work, the secret is stored encrypted, and deleted when unused.
@alex_ really appreciate the feedback! Indeed, coming up with a title for idsimple that is short and descriptive is something I've struggled with (which is why I added the problem/solution section). Do you have any suggestions?
The first thing that comes to mind is "Put your internal web pages behind a password" Maybe something like that? It might be over simplified, but I think it communicates when the product does well.
I am building Codexplainer. It is an AI tool to explain a piece of code in plain English. Since it is a Chrome extension, it can explain code on any site on the internet. The app is currently in beta. You can try the app here:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/codexplainer/mekadgeckpcgideipfhbcapmenbadejp
I'll not say that this AI is 100% perfect but it is doing the best job in most instances. So, I thought it is worth giving a try. And I am 100% positive that this AI will get a lot better and help learners grasp the idea faster.
I acknowledge the fact that most developers are learners and come from developing countries so I am keeping the app free.
Please write me a few words. I am open to hearing your feedback and suggestion.
Lambdabuddy UI looks so neat. Clean and intuitive. What is your business plan for Lambdabuddy?
I will be building a solution to simplify “Remote printing for web and mobile apps”. I got no website or even domain yet but the concept is clear in my head.
Lamdabuddy looks great. 😊
You have a typo on your page:
Are you struggling with oranizing, managing and releasing lambda functions?
Right under your "Get Started Now" button, you wrote oranizing instead of organising
Thank you! Just fixed it.
I'm working on a course for golang developers geared at an intermediate to advanced audience. Nothing to show yet, as I'm building the app that will be the focus of the course now.
I've noticed there's a lot of content geared at beginning developers, or disjointed concepts you can come across on blogs, but not a lot of content that "puts it all together." Hoping my many years working at some big name tech companies in senior+ positions has given me some valuable perspective I can share.
Hi Alex,
LambdaBuddy looks very slick. I profess to not being your target audience as i’m less technical but I think your landing page is clear and concise.
One thing you could consider doing as you build out your website further is to split out the individual elements that you offer in your product onto separate landing pages and optimise those pages for things people search for in relation to those particular functions eg rather than just linking to the YouTube video for ‘how to install non modules in AWS lambda’ you could have a separate page for that optimised for that term with the video and any related content that is useful to your prospective customers.
I’d be interested to see what you thought of https://developers.zamzar.com (a file conversion API).
Thanks !
I like that it's immediately clear what developers.zamzar.com does. Converting files is definitely a pain point.
it seems like zamzar.com allows to convert a few files for free, I think it could be nice to offer the same in developers.zamzar.com to get more users to try it. Maybe generate an api key with a few credits so it'll be possible to try out the api before signing up?
Also, I'd add all the amazing testimonials and users also to the developers landing page, I think it makes a big difference.
I appreciate the feedback! I think separate landing page is a great idea. I already mention lambdabuddy in some of the videos but I think a dedicated landing page with more text and a call to action will be much better, also for seo. Thank you!
lambdabuddy.com looks awesome, congrats

Hi Alex,
I'm working on Delta Forms https://deltaforms.vercel.app a service to send HTML form responses to Slack, Google Sheets, Notion, HubSpot, and more without paying extra for Zapier.
I checked out your landing page, the design looks pretty great. I have not used Lambda or serverless functions but your product looks like a CI/CD for serverless functions to me which would be really helpful in case I use serverless functions in the future. Like some others have said, I think you should really add a pricing section.
I am building Securify TFA: https://securify.developer-service.io/
Current 2FA APIs are difficult to use, costly, and use non-secure methods like SMS and e-mail.
The TFA (Two Factor API) is the evolution of these unsafe methods by bringing the ease of use and security of end-to-end encryption of communication applications like Telegram to exchange 2FA codes.
Hi, I'm building https://twayobiz.com - a file management service for business owners, although it could also work for developers as we offer API support and even a Zapier integration for quicker integrating. Like you can literally upload files via the API and the documentation is very straight forward.
And Lambdabuddy I think needs a pricing page. The UI is also nice and straight forward.
I’m building https://emailengine.app, it’s a self hosted proxy server that takes requests through HTTP REST and “translates” these to IMAP/SMTP commands, so that your service could talk to email servers to send and receive emails without knowing anything about email protocols.
I love the simplicity of your landing page. I haven't worked with Lambda before, but the the courses section made me feel right at home as a developer. The only thing that wasn't quite clear immediately is that LambdaBuddy is for AWS.
You can take a look at mine if you like. We work on a privacy and developer-friendly web analytics solution that can also be turned into a platform if you use our extensive API :)
https://pirsch.io
Thanks for the feedback!
pirsch.io is beautiful. also I like the testimonials with pictures, adds confidence in the product!
Hey! I really love the idea, I've always enjoyed building serverless applications (or just serverless components as part of a larger application), but the UX around lambda was always pretty limiting.
The landing page looks great, the only thing I wasn't sure about was the deploy story. "When you push a new version to your lambda function" - made me worry that I still need to manage the deployment itself until I saw the next section which called out lambda-build.
Just my 2c, but it might be worth moving lambda-build into the section above and having a gif of it building and deploying. It feels like a really complete narrative then from building to deploying.
I'm working on https://www.propelauth.com - a service to make authentication easier. Curious for any feedback you have!
Hi Andrew , The landing page looks awesome! I really like the color contrast.
I suggest to add more info on the benefits of propelauth.com over other auth providers (auth0, cognito) and maybe create a few blog articles about pain points with the other providers that people might search for and then introduce them to how propelauth is better.
Thanks for the feedback, that's a great suggestion!
Thanks! Appreciate the feedback, those are great suggestions
I haven't used Lamda function on AWS before, is your product an AWS only thing?
I'm sure the website copy is evolving, but there's a typo in "Efortless versioning".
Consider more prominence on the Sign-in & Login buttons, I nearly missed them way up there!
I'm working on LogMonster.net a drop-dead simple logging solution for indie developers & small teams.
As a GCP user, I've always hated Stackdriver and since most of my apps are built for clients with a limited number of users, the big logging solutions are overkill. I wanted something that was easy to use from anywhere (no ssh required) and didn't require babysitting, so I built LogMonster.
I'd love to hear thoughts & feedback!
Hi, I think it's always a great idea to show some screenshots...
Good idea, Thanks for having a look!
LogMonster.net is very interesting. I also feel like the many logging solutions are over complicated and it could be nice to have an alternative that is very easy to set up.
Did you consider adding an option to signup using email/password? or is the signin with google required for it to connect to gcp?
Yeah, lambdabuddy only works with aws, I though I'd try it out with aws first and see if it gets any interest, and if it does also add azure and google cloud functions. Thanks so much for letting me know about the typo! I fixed it. Agree regarding the buttons. Thanks!
The Google login is not required for GCP, it's just something I'd done a few times before so I had the code on hand. If I were to add other providers I'd probably use Firebase to allow adding several providers at once, there's no way I'm going to roll-my-own security!
Anyway, like you said I'm trying it out with a Google login & will expand to other providers if there's interest. :)
Hi Alex. I'm using tons of AWS Lambda functions for our backend services and I know that AWS Web console can be quite intimidating for beginners. LambdaBuddy makes it quite user-friendly for first-time users 👍 👍
I'm the founder of CraftMyPDF - We offer PDF generation API and our drag-and-drop editor lets you design templates in any browser and generate pixel-perfect PDF documents from pre-defined templates and JSON data. It's not only built for developers but also for no-code users.
Thanks Jacky,
CraftMyPDF.com looks awesome! I like how focused it is. In the past I had to generate pdfs using a php library and it was a pain, I'd definitely prefer a rest api for that.
I played around with the editor and it works very well, and has tons of features.
There's a lot to learn from your product:
I went through your api docs and had an idea. It could be very cool if when a user opens the docs, you could generate a limited api key for them and add it to all the examples as curl requests, with the key already part of the request. Then, they can copy paste the request to the terminal and see how it works. So they can start using the api and get a key, without registering.
I'm also using many lambda functions from other projects and I always wanted a way to manage releases more efficiently, that's how I came up with lambdabuddy and it saves me a lot of time! Are you using the console directly?
Do you mind if I'll shoot you an email to learn more about how you manage your lambda functions? I'd really like to understand how I can make it useful and improve the messaging on the landing page to other lambda users. Thanks!
Hi @alex_ ,
Thanks for the review!
Sure! send me at [email protected]

Hi, your site looks pretty good! I wonder how you generated the gifs you used - I tried to record my own products and the result is always bad: very low quality I don't know why.
Heya, I use screen2gif on default settings.
Wow, this is a real gem, thanks!!
Hello bro. I would like to ask what tech stack are you using? And also, I'd like to make a feedback, I've created an account, at first your landing page's UI doesn't look very polished? The same as the application itself, the structuring of the information on the dashboard is not very good as well. My advice (take this like a grain of salt) is to look at other similar tools for inspiration on their UI.
Thanks so much for trying and the feedback, yeah I've had similar feedback the UI looks a little dated. I am using Postgres, .Net core, React and bootstrap as the stack. Any competitors that you think look the best? They have good landing pages but to be honest if you try and actually use them they are not amazing imo...
Hi Nick,
I created an account and it works very well. I love how fast and intuitive everything is. Also I like the domain!
Did you consider making some parts of the app available without registration? I think it could be a nice way to get more users to try out the product quickly and then have them register to save their changes.
Good luck!
Thank you for trying it I really appreciate it! I'm working on adding more features to compete with ClickUp etc. right now but that's a great idea in future.
Yes! I'm building a JavaScript Image Editor component. It's compatible with all web based frameworks out there.

Marketing to developers is extra difficult. Lots of resources on marketing don't fit one to one with devs as they can build-it-themselves-in-five-minutes™
I'm not super familiar with Lambda functions, the landing page is super clear, and I love the name, it's pretty straightforward.
Maybe additionally to "organising, managing, releasing" you can add some common pain points that LambdaBuddy solves? There's a reason LambdaBuddy does all those things, I'd underline that reason.
What a polished product! this is really inspiring.
All the small details are just perfect - the ui is super intuitive, smooth animations, very snappy. Even multi touch gestures work. I love it.
Also, very interesting business model. I like the affiliate option.
Some thoughts I had:
It seems like there are many online photo editors that are doing well. Did you ever consider building a website like that using your own editor and let users upload their own images and process them?
Also, If you could extract and open source some small parts of the editor, I think it could be a good way to promote it with developers who will find these libraries and then learn about the complete full featured editor that is available for purchase.
Thank you for the feedback for LambdaBuddy!
That's a great suggestion, I definitely need to explain the pain points better.
Thanks Alex!
You're absolutely right about doing more with the editor. I've got it lying around so should use it more :D
While I did indeed launch pqina.nl/photo-editor it's not really up to date and I haven't gotten around to doing more with it.
I recently launched https://redact.photo which matches you're censor image idea :)
And indeed I'm "upselling" from FilePond to Pintura as that's a super easy stepping stone, five minute install when you're already using FilePond. Open source is a great way to promote commercial products I find.
Going to try and give that free online editor a bit more attention. Thank you so much for the feedback!
I spoke too soon 😀 just found your:
What a great tool! Interested to know how the product roadmap and revenue look 9 months later...
Currently working on adding video editing, as we're at the end of summer now the revenue numbers are similar to January.
Lambdabuddy looks quite clean, and the name is quite good. I dont work with AWS Lambdas quite often to fully grasp the pain point, but keep it up, looks useful!
I've been building https://scopebrite.com/, a product for makers in general, more focused on project and product managers, i.e pre-development, in collaboration with an agency, for almost a year now. We launched a private beta and gathered some initial feedback and now we basically redid almost everything and are getting ready for a GA launch in a couple of months. Looking for early adopters and a lot of feedback, do reach out if you want to take a very early look and share your thoughts! Scopebrite goal is to help discover, enrich and plan projects, moving from 0 to 1 faster.
Recently I've launched Onemon.io which is a websites monitoring service. What distinguishes us from other websites of this type is the fact that, in addition to standard tests, we also regularly (every 10 minutes) test the website using a real Chrome browser. Thanks to this, we test all website components, including scripts, images, styles, fonts etc. Additionally, we check the domain, certificate and website security.
We offer a free plan and 10-days free trial for premium plans. I'd love to hear any feedback.
As for your product - I'm not experienced in AWS, so I'm not a target user, however:
I just released an app (FACTION) to help cybersecurity professionals who perform security assessments be more efficient and collaborative.
One of the things that makes FACTION unique is we are building an App Store for it so that developers can extend and add features. We want it to be as easy to extend as WordPress and hopefully get a huge developer community using it and extending it. Would love any feedback on this approach or anyone that might have done something similar.
You can find the app by searching for factionsecurity.

Hi,
I started working on my Goback saas app from collecting the audience. So far I've made a landing page GOB4CK. co m and I was wondering if you could comment on this. I am looking for the replies to the following questions/topics:
I was also thinking to add a video to tell more about the app but I am still working on it.
I will be grateful for any remark or advice.

Back in 2021, I was using 10+ browser extensions to inspect, edit, debug, and brainstorm ideas on my client's websites, but those extensions had bugs and weren't powerful enough. So, I built an all-in-one Chrome extension, superdevpro.com, to solve this problem for me. 👀
1️⃣ I started building the extension in July 2022, and it was completed in October 2022.
2️⃣ I made it open-source and launched it on ProductHunt in Oct 2022; no website yet.
3️⃣ 200+ upvotes, 50+ comments and 300+ installs through ProductHunt that week.
4️⃣ It went viral in Japan and Korea through a tweet + blog by someone (100k views).
5️⃣ Got 3000+ installs through them that happened in December.
6️⃣ Launched the paid version in February; free users started converting to paid ones.
7️⃣ I got almost 1-2 sales per day; the paid version cost $30 back then.
8️⃣ It has been 11 months since the paid version launch, and things are going well.
Not as much a product as a publication, but this is one of the main goals of my newsletter.
I find landing pages, ads, and emails from top tech/SAAS brands and i annotate & Analyze them. It's partially a swipefile, partially a breakdown of what's working and what isn't.
Soon, I'll be adding "teardowns" or Landing page critiques from smaller brands/startups using the elements of copy and design that made for the swipefile annotations.
I can add your page to the prospective list for Landing page teardowns if you like!
Hey Alex,
We're building dashwaveio, a cloud build tool for Android dev and we are aiming to make android dev more collaborative and fast, increasing developer productivity. In short, the tool allows you build your local WIP code on cloud with a CLI command. Every build gets stored and can be previewed in virtual and physical devices. We're in public beta currently. Please feel free to try out the tool and provide us with your feedback.
Hi Alex, thank you for post this. It is really hard for developers to do marketing.
Here is my next-generation SQL tool by using ChatGPT:

🚀 Hey Alex!
I'm Benji, co-founder of Bondr, and I'm beyond excited to share our brainchild with you. Remote work is amazing, but let's be real – my friends and I shared one common challenge: the struggle to maintain those team bonds and break down communication barriers.
That's why we created Bondr – a solution born out of our own experiences. We know the frustration of feeling like your team is more like distant acquaintances than the close-knit crew we wished for.
Imagine personalized 1-on-1 meetings seamlessly embedded into Teams or Slack, transforming virtual interactions into meaningful connections.
How it works:
🔸 Bondr matches your team members for regular 1-on-1 meetings.
🔸 Each meeting is enriched with tailored questions for deeper connections, feedback, and innovation.
🔸 Bondr anonymously summarizes creative ideas and constructive feedback, which will be compiled for each team.
We invite you to join us on this journey to redefine remote work. Let's turn every interaction into a step towards a more connected, vibrant team. Your feedback means the world to us, so fire away with your thoughts and let's make remote work an experience we all look forward to!
Cheers!
Hey Alex, I don't know if you use the Linear as PM tool, for example, but if yes, maybe this integration tool could bring you value => SteelSync.i o

Hello, I'm currently building https://uibun.dev - a visual editor for tailwindcss. What do you think?
Hi Alex, thanks for the post.
We are building a super debugger that brings the capabilities of a traditional debugger, i.e. analyzing data in arbitrary variables, for your applications running in production - without having to redeploy them or without the overheads associated with a traditional debugger.
You can use this to understand code flow, debug those tricky production incidents or save on logging costs with this magical ability to add log statements on the fly.
It's a simple IDE plugin so you don't even have to move to a new platform to wield all this magic.
We are charging $0 at the moment. Feel free to try us out here: https://docs.ctrlb.ai/getting-started-in-2-minutes
Reach out to me at [email protected] for any questions.
It seems to be having most of the necessities (features, about, guides), but I feel with a UI redesign, it will look much better.
BTW, I've curated over 900 online tools including dev tools at here: https://intools.co. Feel free to let me know your feedback!
We are building an analytics tool for website owners. If you need a clean dashboard without the struggle of setting everything up, check out the live demo on our website. https://www.websense.online
We created websense, because setting up GA and other alternatives was way too conplicated and time consuming. Websense deals with everything for you. It tracks loading time, how far users scroll down a page, and what CTAs are being clicked. No need for custom event and data layers.
Any feedback is welcome!

Hi Alex, we are and in 2 ways I think. But its maybe a bit early to post about it .
Our platform can be used by developers. Liki is is communication tool that use visual widgets over text to reduce your communication to few clicks and drags.
We have a marketplace where developers can build and then sell widgets that will be used by other users.
Hi Alex, thanks for this post.
Lambdabuddy seems quite promising. Although I'm not currently utilizing lambda functions in my personal projects, I'm definitely planning to give LB a try at the earliest opportunity.
Additionally, I'm seeking feedback on Zeal, a Chrome extension designed to override the new tab page.
Unfortunately, I can't provide a direct link here, so you'll need to search for it in the Chrome Web Store.
Hi, Alex. It's great to see your post. We are currently developing a low-code tool called ILLA Cloud, aiming to assist developers in rapidly creating lightweight solutions based on various products such as APIs, AI agents, LLM, and databases. The goal is to address the fragmented needs in a multitude of tasks, ultimately enhancing team efficiency.
Hi Alex, thank you for this post.
I have created an AI assistant for the command line or terminal called AiTerm.
AiTerm is designed to assist developers or command line users with simplifying the process of converting natural language into executable commands, allowing users to find and run the commands they need without leaving their command line or terminal.
Currently AiTerm is completely free on the beta version. I would be very grateful if you would take a look at AiTerm in PH in the command-line-tools category. I would greatly appreciate any feedback you may have on AiTerm. Thank you
I'm building an API that you can drop into any app such an Eshop or POS systems, that generates invoices as PDFs. With one API call it nearly instantly returns a nicely formatted PDF file.
It will hopefully have 100+ template options (working on it), ranging from business oriented "basic" style, to fancy colourful options too. You can change the colour of the invoice as well by defining that in the request. The invoices will be dynamic, meaning they adjust based on what fields you populate, and take as many pages as needed based on your content.
It will have a completely free tier, making it free forever, plus a paid one which is pay-as-you-go that has a few added benefits.
I'm trying to make a wordpress plugin that will help people using a market-leading companies reseller hosting plan and then integrate the services with wordpress as it's a better platform for allowing blog content and easier page creation than the generic bootstrap-led HTML website it currently uses.
However, my PHP code knowledge seems to be failing me on some simple little parts that contradict themselves from their guides, other people's guides, AI interpretation etc.
I think I will need a lot more guidance on this to fully develop my skills.
Hi Alex,
Thank you for creating thread for others to post about their product.
I’m currently working on ShipThatApp a SwiftUI boiler plate to help fellow iOS developers to accelerate their app launch and ship in days not weeks!
Here's what ShipThatApp offers:
I’m launching on PH on Tuesday. I'd be truly honored if you could take a moment to check it out and perhaps support us during our launch. Your feedback and insights would mean the world!
Working on www.datavids.io , a tool to quickly create videos (hopefully viral ones) out of existing content. Found the need for a tool like this while operating and marketing my other sites ( tvfoodmaps.com and bargpt.app ). Many of the video tools out there require a lot of effort to create content and for some of us there just isn't the time. The goal of DataVids.io is to make video creation automated and as hands off as possible. Still in the most early stages but ready to get some thoughts and feedback.
Hey, I've been having a hard time marketing envsecrets.com. Places like this thread are a rare gift. Thank you so much for this amazing thread ❤️
envsecrets.com is an open-source end-to-end encrypted tool to manage your environment secrets. It essentially wages a war on your .env files and supercharges your secrets management.
I've love for you to create a free-forever account and take it for a spin. Let me know how you feel about it and ping me in case you need any help! ❤️
The envsecrets seems a great idea. I love the fact that you are targeting a niche market. Just from a selling perspective, how would convince a developer that currently uses AWS services to not use parameter store, but instead use envsecrets?
Hey, I'm extremely sorry I missed this comment. I don't check indiehackers regularly.
To answer your question:
envsecrets allows you to sync to a lot of third-party services (Github, Vercel, Railway, Hasura, etc.) directly from a centralized store. With parameter store or ASM or GSM, there's no inbuilt integration. You have to write custom scripts depending on your use case.
envs CLI is much simpler and straightforward to begin with.
Pricing is cheaper. But for larger teams, that hardly matters.
Amongst many other features listed here: envsecrets.com/pricing
I am working on WPJack.com it's a WordPress Control Panel for the Cloud.
It helps you launch new WP sites in a few seconds on your servers.
WPJack works with Digital Ocean, Linode, Hetzner and Vultr.
sounds like a very good idea. Unfortunately I don't have any aws lambda functions deployed. Do you have any videos that show how it all works in practice?
Hi Alex,
I'm working on Pagesloft.com a Figma plugin to convert designs into Tailwind React components, to build a web app faster.
I was absolutely fed up with the time it took to turn our designs into code.
The goal of Pagesloft is to allow devs to focus on functionalities without having to worry too much about design integration.
This enables to launch of high-performing products with good design much faster.
Hey @lowe! This looks really cool. Do you mind if I feature it in my newsletter https://quickbyte.tech?
Hey Alex, thanks for this opportunity!
I'm building docuMAN which is a simple AI journaling app for devs!
Although it can be used also by other users, i am primarily using it for my daily dev work.

This is why docuMAN was born :)
Happy to hear how you like it!

Hi Alex, thanks for posting this. I'm an AWS developer, many certs and years in the AWS ecosystem. I am also building an AWS developer tool called claws (IH won't let me post links yet but you can find the website on a dotcom prefixed by clawsapp :)
Not sure if you're still working on LambdaBuddy, I see this post was from almost 2 years ago now. Either way I gave LambdaBuddy a quick spin and here are a few thoughts:
Is this your first product in the AWS ecosystem? How are you going about marketing this? Is there a place where AWS devs hang out, or you just know a bunch, or maybe on the AWS marketplace? This looks really cool, I used to work at a cloud agency and feel like our guys would have gotten a lot out of this
Hey Alex, thanks so much for this post.
I'm working on Visual Backend (https://visual-backend.com), which is a desktop app and visual solution to the problem of backend dev being very repetitive. For instance, when you want to create a route for your REST API, you always go through the same few steps like creating / editing a few files, and then configuring your router, but with Visual Backend, you can do all that in one click, and work on your functions straight away! Excited to hear you guys' thoughts :)
Instead of trying to figure out the next feature that will hopefully increase conversion of your app - allow your users to tell you what they're missing. Even better collect all feedback in a list and let other users vote which one they want most. This is what https://www.wishkit.io is - an iOS/macOS feedback gathering SDK with voting system :)!
Hello everyone, we just launched Pendable, a new product that simplifies sending emails through Amazon SES. It offers all the necessary features for running a production-grade email infrastructure using your existing SES setup. We would greatly appreciate any feedback you may have on our new product. Thank you and have a great day!
Hey there, fellow devs! I recently built 'GPT Everywhere', a desktop-based AI that is my new trusty sidekick for coding (I drink coffee, it creates code) :D chatgpteverywhere[dot]net
Hey Alex. Great idea to spread the news about developer centric apps. I'm building microbooks[dot]io, which is a purely API based book-keeping solution. The idea is that while accounting rules differ all over the world, the underlying accounting rules are identical. The platform thus allows devs to create custom accounting front ends for whatever market/jurisdiction/industry and extract financial reports compliant with international reporting standards (IFRS). I'm just starting out so I would really like to get some feedback from my fellow devs. Cheers!
I like this idea. Aliases can get out of hand if unchecked for a while. Wish AWS will just build in some recycling and management features. Will check out your product.
I launched Power Ups. It’s (yet another) AI tool that enables you to bring your own database, write a prompt for an AI LLM, and then be able to fetch data via an endpoint allowing the prompt to analyze your database. This is great for application teams or business intelligence to quickly look at their existing data and gather insights or level up intelligence in their products without having to go build one off tools or hire experts.
Would love any feedback you all are able to provide on my landing page and even the concept in general. It would be greatly appreciated.

Good to see your post Alex!
Our product is called Salable. We are a bunch of developers who have come up with this product to help everyone who has an app or an app idea and needs help setting up a SaaS business. We help you set up subscriptions, licensing, pricing tables, and payment providers and offer single SDKs and APIs. Setting up a SaaS business should not be complex or confusing - we want to help people get started, grow and be successful simply and easily!
Well, im kind of building a product not only for devs but i see new developers as one of my main customers. I’m working a personalized learning app where you can craft tailor-made learning paths for anything. Customize to your needs and choose to learn from text, audio, and quizzes.
Check it out on www.parlay.se
Hi Alex, I love the collaborative spirit you're fostering among developers! It's a fantastic idea to support each other by trying out each other's products and providing feedback!
I like your landing page! It's very intuitive and user friendly!
Could you give your opinion about this project that my team of programmers will be launching soon? It's a coming soon landing page named exocoding, a code generation online platform that empowers software developers to build better software faster.
Also, late but yeah, I've been building something that spun out of work I did for a client project. https://geostore.app
A bit late to the party, but wanted to share what I've been recently working on: Asktro
It's a search and an AI assistant for static docs like Docusaurus and Nextra. In a few lines of code, you add the plugin and start ingesting your documentation which unlocks natural language search and an AI assistant.
You've created an invaluable tool for managing AWS Lambda aliases. The video tutorials are particularly impressive. The professionalism and clarity you've brought into them will undoubtedly resonate with many users. I know firsthand the effort that goes into creating such high-quality content, and I believe your diligence will pay off.
Currently, I am focusing my efforts on CoinAPI, which is an API service catered towards developers. Our goal is to provide a wide range of cryptocurrency data, including real-time and historical market data like prices, trades, volumes, and order books from various exchanges. We strive to offer a user-friendly platform that caters to all your cryptocurrency data needs.
We're about to release a new product called the EMS Trading API, designed to trade on multiple exchanges using just one account. We'd love to hear your feedback on this
I like your landing page! I don't use AWS lambda so I'm not the target audience, but it sounds like an interesting idea. Also kudos to you for having all the video tutorial content on there.
I build a simple time tracking web app for freelancers/contractors. I built it entirely for myself, but figured I would allow others to sign up if they wanted to. Not sure if I will ever monetize it:
https://simpletracker.io
You idea seems interesting but personally I wont use it, not that big of a deal.

lots of guys are making AI products but aren’t marketing them enough. I built an automation to post the AI product to 100+ AI directories. i found that posting the AI product on AI directories is an underrated way to get continuous traffic and reach for your product.
Hey, I am working on https://aecapi.com/aecapi-authentication/, I understand the challenges faced by startups. With my Identity and Access Management (IAM) system (which also supports MFA) giving you a powerful head start, you dont build your own auth system also you dont have to store them in your own database since we take care of that. Happy to help if you need anything to setup this feature for your site.
Hey folks, building Collectiv AI - A tool for devs to add any OSS repo and chat with it. Already has 1000+ repos. Some of you might have seen Collectiv in langchain retweets. Helping devs quickly get onboarded to any repo, search and understand it. Launching on Pvt repos soon! Link - https://chat.collectivai.com
Great landing page Alex!
Hey, working on Corbado, we're helping other developers add passkey-first authentication to their native or web app to improve security and UX - let me know about your feedback or join our passkeys community.
Hiiii I'm working on https://www.save.day/ - a tool for avid readers like us to store and better retrieve our saved items. It can also generate key notes from lengthy documents, really helpful in these days. Let's join our community and share your thought!
Im working on https://www.websense.online - an alternative to google analytics and its awesome! Would love to hear your thoughts on the landing page. We are launching soon.
Any feedback is appreciated.
I am working on https://chattywebviews.com/ - a simple and lightweight micro-frontend framework for mobile apps which also enables over-the-air updates.
Hey! I’m working on gamified leetcode to help developers prepare for coding interviews. Think leetcode + habitica.
Https://Algonewbie.fly.dev
It's great that your product is open-source, I think is better if you give first before asking.
Btw, mine is based on Stripe + Vue, so it's very niche. Here is the link: https://anthonycharles.work/vuesaga
I am not lambda guy, but this sounds interesting.
I just released SilentFlip.com which is a feature flag management platforms for solopreneurs and small startups.
I understand the pain of paying big name companies such as LaunchDarkly, north of 100$ just to flip a fricking switch. As a developer myself, craving for such product, I try to cater to the needs of other developers.
Hey bro, are you generating any revenue with this product yet ?
Hey! Not yet. Hit me up on twitter/linkedin/email if you'd like to chat
Hi! I like the landing page, it looks clean, and it's easy to understand what you do, even for someone who's never felt the need for it before. I use lambdas with the serverless framework, and usually I almost only use the serverless CLI to deploy / rollback.
I have felt at some times the need for some way to quickly check what commit is currently deployed in an environment, and I never imagined it like this, I think it's quite a cool diea. That said, in all honesty for me personally I don't think the need is large enough to actually convince me to start using the service.
I'm developing Uptimeline, another uptime monitoring service. It checks that your websites are online 24/7, and alerts you when they go offline!
If you can share your feedback I'd love it! :) uptimeline dotcom
We have gotely that helps to help freelance developers plan their business structure and giving them insights on how to approach the market to find new clients.
We built https://staticfast.com/ to help developers host their static websites with ease.
Hey LambdaBuddy concept on the landing page looks great! Just an FYI, but I went to sign up, and the form was squished on iPhone, and the text on the bottom was overlapping the submit buttons. Could share a screenshot, but I don’t have link permission just yet.
I also have a few dev oriented projects, the first of which is a mobile IDE for visual development similar to VSCode. It supports plugins for various visual tools like primitives, models, graph DB, etc.
Another is a set of tools for building extensible native mobile apps. Apple is pretty restrictive, so if you want to manage an in-app store, you need to use IAP API.
Other than that, just various productivity tools built with the mobile IDE.
Best of luck with your project =)
Thank you, very nice landing page! One thing I would be curious about is whether you plan to monetize this (or how?) - if not, I think this could be added as information. Something like -> "Sign up today - it is free".
I'm developing www.pairmeup[dot]io - a Slack bot that seamlessly integrates with Jira. It empowers you to effortlessly find a skilled coworker who can assist you with any assigned task at hand.
Your site is clean and straight forward, very focused, it is over my head, but looks like you are on the right path forward -> Sig
braiain
Great post idea. There are tonnes of really cool products I've found here.
Lambdabuddy looks very useful! I use lambda heavily for various clients so I hope I can use this as it solves a tricky problem.
I'm currently building https://loginllama.app - a suspicious login detection API powered by AI. There is a free plan, so if you integrate it into your app (which takes 10 minutes) let me know your feedback :)
https://www.dokkimi.com
I'm the product designer for a software testing dev tool. Currently just launched our MVP and had our first product demo last week.
Trying to figure out marketing at the moment to get hands-on and see if we have product-market fit.
I liked labdabuddy, website looks neat and straight to the point and I've passed the info to our dev team to check it out!
As for us, we built a productivity app, www.veamly.com to help developers track their time, understand where it's going and get daily insights into their work patterns along with recommendations to help them do better. Developers usually have it hard with distractions, unnecessary meetings etc that's why the goal is to help them get to their true focus and stay inflow for as long as possible.
In fact, we have just soft launched the app, so we appreciate any feedback!
Thank you for offering the opportunity to share my side project. It's called projectsveltos. Sveltos is an open source project for managing Kubernetes add-ons. It automatically discovers ClusterAPI powered clusters and allows you to easily register any other cluster (like GKE). Then, it seamlessly manages Kubernetes add-ons across all your clusters.
But that's not all. Sveltos comes loaded with features like event-driven add-on deployment (using Lua scripts), configuration drift detection, and multi-tenancy to easily manage permissions for tenant admins. You can even preview changes with a dry run and rollback configurations with ease.
Regarding your product, it seems useful especially the ability to organize lambda into groups.
Really appericate your feedback! Vaunt.dev is a fun way to show off your open-source skills! Developers can showcase their skills and achievements, while organizations can drive user contributions and highlight their different contributors.
Super alpha mode: paunel.com
I am building a startup focused around helping developers scale their projects into businesses. I am beginning by offering marketing but will soon offer a full scaling solution from business planning, accounting, hiring, customer service, etc...
My main target market is for individuals making 5 figures a month in MRR but I will also be launching programs for people just beginning their journey as well as offer free and paid resources to help people go from zero to 5 figures in MRR.
Lambdabuddy looks and feels solid! One small thing I noticed is your color choice for the login and signup are barely visible and quite small on large screens. Also, I feel as though a visual walkthrough like Kozlov mentioned would benefit it greatly!
Check out toolbuilder.ai and regex.ai !
I find LambdaBuddy very straight-forward and informational.
here, a saas starter kit, which saves +300 hh of development for any saas.
still building it.

Hey Alex! Indeed I am!
My tool www.BlazeSQL.com writes SQL queries for you. It's like ChatGPT for your SQL Database.
Would love your feedback!
unfortunately I use google cloud functions and haven't used lambda, but one thing I can say Is I thought it was called I am Da Buddy, when I read your URL, lol
Hey Alex,
One little feedback I have for the site is that your free offering text isn't included in the call to action button. How have you reached users so far?
I would also love feedback on my app, a diagram editor with keyboard only operations (feels Vim-ey). Please check it out and let me know your feedback: https://vicalc.io
Neat idea! Like it.
Your website looks good and solid. From the customer's perspective, I rather see a product walkthrough before signing up. It's a visual tool and I want it to be sold visually.
I'm working on Kubernetes Visual Editor. Still WIP, but I have the landing: https://kuberama.dev/. Would love to hear your opinion.
The product I'm working is an extremely common tool needed in consulting software firms which I used to work at and it was a painful process so I'm making https://fusedhr.com to make it better.
i'm a designer working on developer tools. are you using a design system?
I have just released https://trustymails.com/ which allows you to filter out and block the bad guys from registering and spamming your website.
It's free and easy to use with a single click!
https://www.producthunt.com/posts/trustymails
@alex_ great product. Interface looks great. Github OAuth and Dark mode please.
I am building https://www.thunder.so - Lightning-fast Deployment Platform for Node.js Developers.
https://turbolink.io is a way for developers to securely monetize certain parts of their website. It's still in its early stages, but I hope to grow it into a successful and helpful service.
www.devfolio.tech
we are building this platform where developers can buy themselves a portfolio to showcase there projects and skills to increase their chances of getting hired. we provide them with a custom website with their details in it. starting at just rs200/-
Hey Alex, we're currently building liki www.getliki.com a tool that makes communication (emails, messages, chat) visual and interactive.
We believe our solution truly highlight your message visually, avoid chain of emails or lost documents, create collaborative communication spaces and allows you to share dynamic and actionable content...
There is a space example on the landing. As this is a pivot from a previous solution, we're get some traction but I really want to get some real harsh feedback. Also we want to let developers create blocks and eventually sell them. So i guess it will resonate with you...
(will be) building https://www.remotefunction.it/
allowing developers to deploy serverless functions in seconds.
No more complexity with defining security groups, resource groups, credit card details etc.
Paste your code, choose your provider and region and Create!
If you want to know it first, please do sign up 🙏
Landing page returns 404 :/
Yes, because after not having enough interest in it, I decided to stop it.
I'm building https://www.grape.codes/. It's a platform for creating interactive coding videos. It features an online IDE that records your coding session and automatically generates an interactive video. I'd love to hear your thoughts !
Nice! I feel like a product demo would be really helpful here. The screenshots help get the idea across, and the video wall is interesting (though it's unclear if you're affiliated with BiteSize Academy or not) – but as a developer tool, the two things I want to know are 1) whether your tool is easy to integrate (<10-15min is golden); and 2) whether I can trust you to give you access to my infra. The personalized nature of a video (especially with a facecam) can really help get over those initial concerns.
Also I think there's a typo in the subtitle: "rollbacks of you Lambda functions" (instead of your).
👋🏼 - I actually just launched an app to help developers and devop folks manage their DigitalOcean resources (droplets, apps, dbs, domains, etc).
The DO interface on mobile is hot garbage and it had been a while since I played around with mobile dev so I gave it a go.
Just got approved on the AppStore yesterday. Will be working on an Android version once most of the bugs are fixed.
https://www.appvents.com/work/mission-control
I'm handling Growth functions at Requestly.io. We recently went open-source to help web developers speed up their web debugging process.
Currently, Requestly is being used by 175,000+ developers across 5000+ organizations.

Hi!I liked the look and feel of your LP! not using Lambda currentlky so cant tell if the UX is valuable.
My App is - Paste & Copy - it is built with Vue & Quasar, and hosted on AWS S3 bucket.
This utility tool is intended to help any one working with code, writing, forms ETC.
Many cool features are about to be added - dark mode, Time, IP and so on.
I am considering using some DB so users can use it accross devices, but i would like to avoid login and registration. still thinking about it...
https://www.policyguard.io
I am building a tool that helps you manage CSP and other policies. Basically, there are some pretty standard security practices that most web applications should follow but they don't since it is a hassle or they simply don't know they even existed. Yet, they can prevent the most common vulnerabilities websites face.
It's free right now, just contact me and I will give you full access
Yes, I've just released version 2 of Stacks for free while in beta. Stacks is an offline first project management system perfect for freelancers and single developers. Try it out now: https://getstacksapp.com/
Great idea! Collaboration and feedback within the developer community is crucial for growth and improvement. I'll definitely check out LambdaBuddy and give my feedback. Thanks for sharing your product and offering to help others. Let's support each other and help each other build better products!
Lambda Buddy looks good even though I haven't had any problems with Lambda Aliases so far. If I ever have the problem I will try your product.
I'm thinking about building an MVP to make my work as a freelancer easier.
Yes, I have https://vemto.app and I'm launching https://komandi.app today, both tools for developers
Hey Alex.
I have used lambda quite a bit yet I didn't notice an issue with managing aliases. In fact I have never heard of aliases regarding lambda. I used versions a lot though.
A visual before and after would help communicate the value proposition. Or even selling me on why I should use aliases regarding lambda.
Hello! Just in case the offer is still in place, we would love to get your feedback on our product: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/mock-qa
Hi! Thanks for the offer!
This is my place: http://68.183.13.196/
Yeah, I should come up with a domain name yet... But basically, you can train different neural networks on the MNIST dataset there. And compare their metrics.
Can you use it... at least somehow?
Thanks for checking it out!
Hi guys, I'm coin data school and I'm new here. I recently launched a guide on Uniswap V3 LP. I didn't do a landing page. Just used twitter threads, which are listed below in the order I tweeted.

Building for developers, but not a tool though!
We want to reinvent the way developers discover content for specific technologies based on their knowledge level, targeting specific areas and shortcomings...
...and then we want to disrupt the way they consume it - making almost any piece of tech-related content indexed by us interactive and more digestible overall!
(of course, honoring the short time attention span that fast-paced live requires)
We should be out on the market with the MVP soon in the next few weeks, you can check it here for now: https://codaroo.io/
I am just soft-launching GraphMe, a Slack application that brings metrics from Prometheus and Datadog (for the moment, more to come I hope) into Slack. It is usually possible to post alerts from time series databases into Slack, but I am not aware of any other app that allows to pull graphs on demand. I was very much inspired by talks about Hubot (from GitHub), for those who know about it. :)
This is definitely targeting developers, more specifically devops people. The goal is to allow to run queries and share results straight from Slack (no more waiting + screenshot). GraphMe also proposed "saved graphs", which allows to create a catalog of common queries that can be reused.
It's still a bit rough around the edges, but live at https://graphme.app
I am working on something in this space which is just about at alpha stage now - https://www.viewsource.to which is a portfolio for developers.
Lots and lots of people interviewed all had the same issue - not wanting to update or maintain a portfolio for themselves.
Re: LambdaBuddy - it would be great to see who is behind this, pricing, and what some examples look like.
something is wrong..,
What’s the problem ?
Great idea. Here is mine, love to hear your feedback!
https://www.dataendpoint.co/
Looks good!
I noticed you don't have a feedback component and wanted to offer you early access to my feedback software for free (unlimited time) .
Check it out here: https://feedbackuser.webflow.io/
Best of luck with your Product!
We've just launched https://feedbakk.io with indie devs being our ideal customer profile. It's no fluff way of getting feature request/feedback from your users. With emphasis on trying to engage the users into a conversation..
LambdaBuddy looks great by the way.. Even if it's missing a feedback widget..
Have a couple of lambdas planned for managing ops, so will be sure to give LB a try
Just redesigned my product's landing page and collected users' interests on Beta Access. Check out Folks: https://diversehq.xyz
Thanks, fellow dev!
Here's our product - truto.dev, unified APIs for building native integrations.
Unlike other apps in the space, Truto allows the developers to customize the APIs according to their needs, and we add any new integration request in less than three days. Please share your email, and I'll set up an account for you.
I'm building grape; an online code editor for auto-generating interactive coding videos. https://www.grape.codes/explore
Hey Alex!
that's a cool project you have there :)
I really liked your web: Using those emojis are a really friendly way to engage with your audience! Kinda says: "we are professional but cool!"
I think the section where you posted the explainatory videos is very useful too, it's a nice way to get to know the product and avoid frustration, well done!
If I could recommend something, it would be adding a mockup with your product at the top! That would be very eye-catching when you get in and it would invite people to read further.
Along with two friends, we built a videochat platform specially for .js developers who need to embed this player with practically no code!
It's really customizable (from logos, fonts, colors, chat style, etc), honestly, with a few clicks you can have it deployed with your own branding! Yuppp, we are white label!
This product is called Markee, you are very welcome to give it a look at: https://lite.markee.io
Thank you again for doing this!
My co-founder and I have been working on HookHeroes for a couple months now and we've recently launched and looking for some initial users and feedback. It's an application we've built to simplify the webhook integration process and mitigate some of the common shortfalls we have seen in the way webhooks are handled.
What's the saying..."If you are not embarrassed by the first version of your product, you’ve launched too late." 😅
We'll definitely be spending some time polishing it up and adding in some features, but the functionality is there at the moment, it's at a usable point and we'd love for anyone to check it out and share some feedback.

We're building Kinde – a new authentication and user management platform designed to give developers everything they need for secure access in one platform. It’s built with engineers in mind with powerful and easy to use API’s and advanced front, back-end and mobile libraries to match your stack. Built from the ground up using the best in class security protocols available today.
You design and build your product. Install Kinde and then you’re free to focus on the important things, like scaling your business.
Would love to hear feedback: https://kinde.com
Yes, our's is an authentication solution for developers. Would love to hear your feedback - https://mojoauth.com/
I know this is an old post, Alex, but I was wondering if there are teams of more than one developer here, as I'd love to get some feedback on a collaborative plugin we're testing for VSC/JetBrains.
My project isn't technically live yet, but I'll bite.
I'm working on an open source project called Score. It’s a workload spec for consistent config across your environments (local, dev, on K8s, etc.). Still have a few week or so to go before we're ready to launch, but I'd love to hear some feedback from folks in the developer community.
You can check us out on GitHub here: https://github.com/score-spec/spec
@alex_ - The product and features look great! We just started using lambda, so I'll ask our developers to try it out and will provide more feedback.
We are also building a product for developers here is the product: https://www.indiehackers.com/product/mojoauth
We've had some Developers use the app I'm building! They use it to save photos of code, links to tutorials to watch later and code snippets right to their Keyboard so they can share / reference it at any time.
The apps called ZoZo and you can check it out here: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/zozo-app/id1639795583
I am building https://www.appswithcode.org/ , a place where you can discover open source apps.
We are building https://www.kloudmate.com , A Serverless observability platform.
Lambdabuddy is very interesting and will be very helpful to someone like us who is working on AWS Serverless.
I'm currently building a source code visualization tool for developers. The web app allows you to see the high-level view of dependencies and functions between code using a graph. The implementation only works for Python as of now, but support for Javascript is coming soon. Feedback on the website and mailing list signups is also appreciated.
Site: https://cysuite.io
Your landing page looks neat and to the point! One small thing I noticed was that the login and signup links were a bit too muted to be noticeable. Was this by design, and is that what you intended?
I am building https://formrabbit.io, a form backend with a twist. I would really appreciate some feedback on the landing page — specifically about whether the value proposition is clear, what's missing, whether it's enough to get you to signup etc.
I am building https://sodim.dev
SODIM helps developers and companies identify if the third party packages being used in their software product is secure or not along with many other useful information about the dependencies, even the nested dependencies. Read our first blog at https://blogs.sodim.dev/blog/
Try it out!
https://github.com/Sulstice/global-chem
There's a lot you can do with the code ant a lot of features you can try. The software has two parts: chemical data and tools used to analyze the data.
I am building https://ab-task.com.
It's the one-stop app you need to kick off your team. It supports real-time communication and task management.
Hey Alex, cool landing page!
Myself, I am currently building a SAAS, where through a simple API, developers can post urls/photo in order to extract text out of the images(OCR). I am building it on top of AWS S3 and Textract. I have used tesseract in python before and it lacks preprocessing, where AWS does it very well, however it has difficult api, and it lacks of visualization of the results. This is where my SAAS comes along.
I am building it with Nextjs, Supabase, TailwindCss, deployed on Vercel, and payments thru Stripe.
I am also into creating an app for Make.com for the no-code developers and as well a npm package, simple sdk for my api.
I will share soon a demo link for everyone to feedback. The API and interface is finished, I have to create emails, probably through ConvertKit or Sendgrid, and do e2e testing.
So I am half way there! Please share your thoughts! Thanks
Still an idea: a B2B company that offer open source alternatives for business that want to save money and have more control over their softwares/integrations.
Tha lead magnet will be a savings calculator comparing prices and features on big SaaS vs Open Source alternatives.
Since I plan to launch this in Brazil, offering deployment and ongoing support may be a good option to have recurrent revenue. Also, for small business that don't want to deploy, selling API connectors and using affiliate links to private cloud versions of the softwares may offer some profitability!
A small percentage of the profits will go to funding the projects we use/offer to customers!
Only problem is: I am NOT a developer and don't understand sh*t about coding! 😅
The support part is particulary profitable since most open source softwares, even the hosted options, don't offer support in portuguese and a "non dev" vocabulary, but most companies want to save money and have more control and freedom over their everyday business tools!
Me Me! I am biulding ProxiesAPI.com - Its a rotating Proxy API for Web Scraping.
Its gets you the HTML from any page with a simple API call. We handle proxy rotation, browser identities, automatic retries, CAPTCHAs, javascript rendering etc automatically
I had a look @ lambdabuddy.com - I would second the motion to get a pricing page going, and I think the contrast between the screenshots (light blue/white) didn't make your screenshots pop from the screen enough. They do communicate their point well though!
We're working on a framework to deploy code from one codebase to any cloud, with any language.
Note: These are all extensible SDKs, we've got official docs for ts/js and currently deploy to AWS, Azure, and GCP)
Nitric Framework - https://nitric.io
One of our primary focuses is DX , so we've also set ourselves a couple of key goals
You basically write code and we'll figure out the infrastructure (service, config, and policies) required for it to run in the cloud, based on your intent.
It's open source and builds upon the great work of Pulumi IaC - check it out, would love some feedback on whether we're on the right track!
Very nice. I'm new to AWS Lambda, and your site looks like it will be very helpful. I found a typo: "rollbacks of you Lambda functions" -- *your.
I built something recently (the thing for which I think Lambda might be a good backend):
https://cogneato.xyz
The idea is that when developing a system you often find yourself iterating like, "tweak this parameter/config, measure how it performs". You'd go through fewer iterations if you used an optimizer, but the overhead of finding/learning/installing/testing one is too large, so you don't bother. Cogneato takes that startup cost to zero. You just paste your measurements into a text box on the home page and click "Analyze".
I use Cogneato to optimize Cogneato, and I'm really liking it.
Hey, We @AirCuboid are making boilerplate low code data pipelines for developers with customization flexibility and turn key deployment services templates. These templates are made for every developers to maintain consistency, uniformity and effectiveness across the org. Our main goal is to boost prototyping and reduce time to production for developers.
Currently we are in development phase. Our product developers have tested this product in mega companies like AT&T and Zefr where billions of data points get processed everyday.
Team: @AirCuboid

P.S.: Integration of these services is cherry on cake.
HI, I build a data visualization tool to fully automate data cleaning and visualization process, also some lightweight machine learning that all should be possible with just couple of clicks and also main point is that people can share their dashboards online which will be hosted by us.
Getting better with my stuff:

Would love to hear your feedback.
I looked at lambdabuddy, and the message is pretty clear to me, even though I'm not a lambda user at the moment. If I understand correctly, is this dashboard to display the usage of all lambada functions for each user? If that is the value, why emphasize "alias"? Maybe value prop can be more direct in plain words.
Hello @alex_, I've built https://patternkid.com to help developers add beautiful design assets to their landing pages without needing any design skills.
I'd love to hear any feedback anyone has!
Hey @timxcul, after looking through your site I wasn't sure what the use case was for adding those type of design assets (patterns).
I was interested and clicked to your link because your quote "to help developers add beautiful design assets to their landing pages without needing any design skills" is up my alley.
My background was front end / UI development, so I have some design sense but I don't design anything from scratch except an occasional UX flow.
I'm always looking for tools to make my basic functional designs pretty - I use things like Creative Tim and other app frameworks, as well as design templates pretty regularly for my projects.
Best of luck!
I'm building eDocAPI platform and API help developers to easily generate a PDF documents.
Exposes a friendly dashbord and powerful document template system.

Its also free. Get started now on edocapi.com
We welcome your comments and suggestions
I don't use AWS, so I can't give feedback on that aspect of Lambda buddy, but I did look through your design! Some quick notes:
You are missing an icon for your website's tab — this can be fixed by adding a .ico file to your page's head.
The design is visually pleasing and fairly easy to navigate. I like the choice of colors and elements are given enough spacing to be readable.
The video course that you include is also very useful and I think it will help onboard people. Well done with that.
We just released Collab Spot (https://www.collabspot.io/), a platform that turns any website into a collaborative canvas to help teams iterate much faster. It absolutely has use cases for developers, so I'd love to hear your thoughts if you get a chance to check it out!
Hello Alex! How's lambda buddy doing so far? At this point the homepage makes sense to me. Kinda like the octopus deploy for Lambda! Any plans to support other cloud providers?
I'm working on https://meadowrun.io with a friend. Our goal is to make it really easy to run Python code in the cloud, by automating tedious details like syncing dependencies and code. Targeting developers/data engineers/data scientists that need a bit of extra cpu or gpu power.
I have built fumigram ( https://fumigram.com ) and I will be grateful for your opinions and other ways to improve❤️
I'm launching Headlamp to help developers find bugs in their web apps.
Funny true story: I posted a link to the landing page a few days ago after making some big changes, and forgot to run Headlamp. So of course, I missed a few bugs that other IndieHackers spotted. D'oh!!!
Hey 👋 we build https://tryonzauth.com basically a passwordless (magic link + biometric-fingerprint/faceid) login you can implement in your next web project in under 5 minutes.
Still in Beta and I will be grateful for your opinions ❤️and testing. Free to use for now, please use it in your next or current project. I plan to add more features in the roadmap to include memberships, subscriptions, one-click/biometric payments, bookings etc... all to do with securing user access and improving their experience, and of course, ease of implementation.
My overview project/company landing page is here https://www.zailky.com
Seems like the SSL certificate of zailky is invalid.
Yep, it's still a work in progress, domain issues
Thanks for the generous offer Alex!
I'm currently working on Basin — a plug-and-play form backend that lets you have complete control over the frontend experience while handling data collection, spam filtering, storage, and distribution (workflow automations triggered by submissions) for you.
Any feedback is welcome and appreciated! 🙏
Hey, I created LocalXpose ( https://localxpose.io ) - a reverse proxy that enables you to expose your localhost services to the internet.
I will be thankful for your feedback.
Hey 👋 we build https://zencal.io and it's not directly for developers BUT every developer can use our app to build eg. a marketplace based on our solution.
Next week I will publish a tutorial on our blog on how to build a marketplace in less than 24h.
I will be grateful for your opinion ❤️
Yes, we have been building a portfolio tool for generalist developers. They can showcase their GH repo, technical writing, ebooks and other project in a single place in just few clicks.
The best part is they can create category-wise landing pages for their different type of project. Simple, fast and easy.
I'd love your feedback, here's our tool- https://fueler.io
I just released the Flow Easily prototype into the world: Link

Quid Pro Quo:
Had a look at LambdaBuddy. I like that there's a curated list of videos. I was trying to learn AWS Lambda a few months ago but gave up because it was overwhelming for a cloud newbie.
I might return to go through those videos at some stage.
I am a young and ambitious programmer. One day I decided to start my own company, where I will recruit the same ambitious and talented people as me. The company is called Owlab. We develop almost everything related to programming: applications, websites, cloud storage, management programs and much more. We are the best mobile application developers https://owlab.group/services/mobile-development
I am building an android ui automated testing tool natively on android. So you can test without the complexity of adb and can share your test cases over to non tech guy to get it run over his phone
First, you need to Choose a specific niche in which you feel comfortable. Since you notice that affiliate marketing can be so competitive, the right niche is crucial for selecting . The right niche or products make profit easily, you should avoid too much competition and try to gather real audience. There are many types of blogging niches such as - Health and fitness, wellness, Finance, real estate, Technology, travel, gaming, Fashion and beauty and many more. All topics lend themselves to mentioning products or selling, but all products do not offer a meaningful payout for clicks or affiliate sales. SO should be careful to select your niche.
Lambda buddy looks super cool! I have something related that I'm chewing on:
It's basically a wrapper for AWS CDK. What is shown there will deploy an api for you immediately. I'm trying to figure out whether or not people want something that integrates with their codebase via CDK, or if this could be used as a simple, easy-to-use AWS Console.
I would also love to add easy to use authorizers, task scheduling, and cloud dev environments. All on an AWS account that belongs to you.
I’m running https://floodgate.io, it’s a feature flag management service aimed at reducing the risk of code deployments and separating the deployment of code from the releasing of new features.
Developers and product managers are my bread and butter target market. I built if got fun, cos you know coding is awesome but fleshed it out into a fully working production product. Would love to know what people think about it - honest opinions only 😂
I’m hosting on AWS and I use AWS (including Lambdas) everyday in my 9 to 5, so I’ll be checking your app out tomorrow once I’m in the office 👍🏻
I built / building https://xposter.io , it allows devs who create blogs to crosspost across multiple platforms.
This is something I built for myself, but have had number of signups and people will to pay for a subscription!

I'm building croct.com, a personalization management system that looks like a CMS but with powerful resources.
Think about the growth teams' scenario.
The marketers' needs have evolved. They want to have an inspiring and straightforward solution, but they don't want just to put static content on their website anymore. They want to test every possibility. They wish to tailor the communication for each user segment.
On the other hand, designers want to use a corporate design system and ensure that nobody will ever break it. They want flexibility (for themselves) and constraints (for content creators). A headless CMS suits them well.
In the between, there's a developer. They love the idea of using a headless CMS, so they don't have any headaches with the design team. But, at the same time, they need to keep working on manual integrations with AB testing platforms or developing manual implementations to personalize the content according to evolving strategies. It's ongoing work.
The PMS (personalization management system) is an integrated software solution that enables users in an organization to manage and deliver personalized messages, campaigns, and interactive experiences to consumers across different communications channels and devices. In real-time.
Our co-founder & CTO and I have spent the last decade working with remote tech teams. Our #1 challenge? We were using a lot of tools like Jira or Gitlab that could give us information on tasks and code but we had nothing that could help us understand if we were getting faster or better and what habits were holding us back.
So we created www.Adadot.com, the fitness tracker for work. Boosting developer performance by analysing productivity and collaboration data. Rooted in science.
#1 Product of the day on Product Hunt: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/adadot
With Adadot you can:
🎯Measure what matters: Speed, Quality, Collaboration and Wellbeing Metrics
🏆Benchmark like never before: Find out how you track against elite developers. Contrast and compare with your previous performance and uncover your personal best.
🚦Gain Context: Understand where to push or pull to maximise results. Too many Slack messages? Not enough focus time? You now know what to fix first.
🔬Rooted in Science: Adadot uses Google’s DORA framework which has been validated by over 32k engineers.
🚀Best of all?
Fully automated data entry. Simply integrate with Gitlab and Slack! Google Workspace integration coming soon.
🔮 What’s next?
We’re working on more features to help developer teams improve the way they work, collaborate and feel. This is just the beginning: we’ll also be adding more features, check out our public roadmap: https://adadot.prodcamp.com/!
🥐 Share your feedback!
We'd love to get your thoughts and feedback! Adadot only takes 5 minutes to set up. Try it out and let us know what you think.
I am working at https://brainboard.co/, we target infrastructure managers and cloud architects working in enterprises, which in my opinion, is even harder to target than developers.
Anyway,
Love your product, Alex! Shared it with my team!
Two advice:
I'm working on a website builder called scribo.dev. It is in its early stages, but the idea is to create a low-code platform that would help developers create apps faster.
Any feedback is welcome
Hi Alex, a really good initiative with this post :)
We're building Microtica, a cloud platform for developer self-service. We want to enable developers to deploy infrastructure and applications on their AWS accounts without even opening the console.
We're preparing for a new major version release next month. You can check out the teaser for our new redesigned developer experience here.
LambdaBuddy looks like a great product. Working with AWS ourselves, I can see the need for a more clean dashboard on top of AWS. Maybe add a video of how it works or some screenshots of the dashboards. A bit confused by the Lambda Video Courses at the bottom.
Congrats!
Do PCB developers count Cadstrom.io 😅?
Lambdabuddy looks great! Very clear value add and action.

Hey I am actually. So I want to make drug design easy for a lot of developers to mesh with my field of organic chemistry. It's been tricky connecting the fields in a developer manner.
I tried learning both fields, I still am and my project is here:

Website: https://www.chemicalgraphtheory.com/
Gonna check out the designs of your dashboard.
Hi Alex 😊
Not exactly for developers, more for digital agencies - but I do find there is an overlap with developers & designers who also do SEO.
My tools seohero.net, helps SEO professionals win more projects with beautiful audit reports.
Really like the clean design of LamdaBuddy. One thing I'd change is make the Signup & Login color in the header a little darker as right now they are almost invisible against the background 😅
Howdy all, we are building https://thefullstack.network
It's a professional network for software engineers to connect, showcase, share their work and also find out about job opportunities.
We are currently moving into the Web 3.0 and blockchain space to provide creator economy type features for our community.
Please feel free to stop by and join in. thanks
I built a tiny side app for personal use that semi-automates user interviews. I use it to automate the send and question generation for potential text interviews of travelers for my site Eurotripr.com. I was thinking of spinning it off for anyone that does question /text based interviews. I thought since as introverts many of us devs could use a tool like this for the following:
I'm building getlistzero.com, an app that "helps ambitious devs TODO more by boosting mental energy, motivation, and flow".
Currently excited about and testing this:
Any feedback is welcome!
Yeah, I'm building https://unblokd.com
With some luck, I'll have the MVP done and I'll start inviting people to test it out in Q1.
Focused on the learning part. Curious to see what you think if you have time to review it!
LambdaBuddy looking great!
I'd work on the value prop though. Now you're describing the 'what', not the 'why' (see Eric's talk here for reference: https://www.ycombinator.com/library/6g-how-to-talk-to-users )
My product is free and opensource. I'm building an AWS CDK construct for rapidly building serverless APIs based on API Gateway and Lambda. The construct parses your file structure and builds out an API the same way Next.js would for a React app. I currently have about 4 different workloads running that are based on it.
Here are some links related to the package and code:
https://www.npmjs.com/package/crow-api
https://constructs.dev/packages/crow-api
https://github.com/thomasstep/crow-api
I am planning to add a text-to-speech API or chrome plugin feature for https://dailynewsound.com
Will most likely launch the API on RapidAPI - do you think this will align with developers' needs?
The Chrome plugin could be featured in the sub-domain itself.
Lastly, also thinking of creating a Zapier integration.
Which one could be most useful? Other suggestions are highly appreciated! Thank you!
We started builders.so!
Not so much “building” as “producing” - a guide for developers who have been approached by an acquirer…
We are building it for Product Managers!! https://fusionhq.co. Its an opensource analytics tool. Do star us on https://github.com/fusion-hq/fusion
Thanks for the post. I am planning to build in public starting from January.
My first project will probably be a no-code tool. Stay tuned :)
I'm working on a standalone tool, that can scan your jar/war file (currently only Java supported, sorry), create a dependency list and send it to my SaaS. Then you get email when another Log4j happens ;-)
In the future, I'm planning to support JS and python as well.

Hey Michael, I really like your templates!
Some UX feedback - I almost didn't click further into your website after a first glance at the homepage because the initial screenshots didn't give me a clear picture of the "look and feel" of the templates. By having a further back shot of a bunch of page templates rather than a close up that shows the look and feel, I wasn't drawn in to see more...
Then I had to search to find the "View" button, which was the little button called "Demo" and then click again to actually get past the views page and actually see the thing in action.
Possible solutions:
P.S. Hopefully that's not overbearing, but I have purchased many templates from creative tim so I'm in market!
Dude, I appreciate it, but I got acquired on February.
The site looked different though, they have changed it completely.
Thank you though !
Nice! Congrats!
cheers!
