Why does your product matter?

I am my own user. I'm a trader who needed an app that would call me the second a stock hit a specific price. I found myself torn between stalking charts or doing productive work.

It's as simple as that.

And of course, the shameless link plug

Our product is based on the belief that commerce should be able to occur natively in any environment that can connect to the internet. If commerce is ever to occur in environments like games, voice, VR, etc; the act of clicking out to a website would be impractical, and a headless API, directly connected to most of the online stores in the world, would be needed to facilitate any transactions. We feel that our product, Violet.io, is important because it is the first attempt to build that API and solve for truly native commerce anywhere.

There are 227.4m+ posts on Instagram with the hashtag #followforfollow but no one utilizing this hashtag actually follows you back.

Followchain connects you with people within your niche that will follow back and engage.

I think the SaaS "gold rush" isn't over. There's still a lot of businesses that have yet to go fully online, a lot of niches that are incredibly under-served, and a lot of "category titans" that people are sick of and want alternatives to. Starting and owning a small-to-medium SaaS is the new way of starting a business and chasing opportunity and financial security. Enabling that means enabling a whole lot of dreams.

That's why I think working on Nodewood matters - I'm making it dramatically quicker and easier to start a new SaaS, and for people to pursue a new dream.

Hi Omeed! We created https://www.dinote.co because not every tech business is a good fit for venture capital, but alternatives can be highly fragmented.

Turns out the search process can be a massive distraction. If the net result is no funding, it could be lethal to the business.

So we built Dinote, a platform where digital entrepreneurs can integrate and connect to optimal funding options without giving up equity.

We created Viyo.io to solve a problem for ourselves, so it's pretty important to us.

We were looking for a solution to monitor our kids and I had some very specific criteria:

1. I did not want to buy/setup hardware
2. I wanted to use one of my old devices to monitor
3. I wanted to be able to view the camera through my browser
4. I didn't want to have videos of my children stored anywhere

After looking around at some of the options, I realized that most monitoring software records video. This makes sense for home surveillance, but it was not something that I wanted when monitoring my kids.

So, yes, the problem we are trying to solve is important. We are trying to give people a privacy and security-focused alternative to child video monitoring.

Made ytscribe so I can read YouTube videos... I use the chrome extension every day on YouTube :)

Teams waste soooooo much time documenting/specing basic features for software & unfortunately, they often find themselves reinventing the wheel. It impedes their ability to focus on their secret sauce.

So, we're automating the boring stuff @ HipSpec.com

I made https://www.indiehackers.com/product/emitter/launched-mvp--M8vbYQ1JN0rcjol7EyN while working on another app. Seems that WebSockets and Lambdas don't play nice. So I made a solution to bridge the gap.

Every-time I am sharing a file across computers (to myself or others in my group), I have to upload it to server and then send a download link as email or put in chat/skype to share it. A link is not something I can say it over phone or vocally.. So I created a simple file-number(token) based file sharing tool.

So I can say $ ele upload file.txt
This returns a file-number like 420
Then on the other computer I can say $ ele download 420

What do you think ? I am hungry for your opinion.

I'm building Letterbase. It matters because great customer support tools are still really expensive, hard to use, and privacy-invasive. I'm convinced that there's a better way to do customer support for solo founders, bootstrapped startups, and early-stage companies.

I still do not have launched but I plan to do so during the summer.

To the question: why does it matter? I am working on a team events management solution that removes the noise from organising and measuring an event. And when I say team events I mean events like personal celebrations (birthdays, anniversaries, leaving the job, etc.), actual team events (offsites or team building) or casual going out. Why are these processes important? Because people get to know to each other and build long lasting relationships.

The product just makes it easier for the organiser to organise everything from one place, from idea until feedback collection and satisfaction metrics. I believe that before products we build value, and before value we build relationships. And very often, we forget what we've been working on 10 years ago, with some of the people from our teams but what stays are the relationship. And the healthier we make it while we work together, the longer it will last.

I will never explain my product to users like this, this is very abstract, but it has a more deeper story.

Businesses make decisions but rarely go back to measure and review them months and years later. A Pro/Con list is typically used on almost every decision. There needs to be a digital Pro/Con list where teams can collaborate together.

Trying to increase traffic for blogs with the only source of traffic being google search.

Most apps will only show articles from CNN, Techcrunch etc. but no apps shows articles from the 300+ million blogs published each day.

Hence made https://pipfeed.com

Hi Omeed! We created https://orgstack.io to address an expensive problem that data and software engineering teams face. Poor data quality leads to unexpected downtime in production infrastructure, and it takes a lot of resources to properly diagnose the issue. This is immensely important because data powers many features in the apps that you know and love. OrgStack provides the tools that teams need to manage data sources, receive critical alerts, and perform root cause analysis, all in one platform. Hope this is helpful.

We created Bee Informed because you can't go anywhere shopping nowadays without being jumped and asked for a email to get discounts (with 99.9% non-relevant offers). Or asked for a phone number to join their loyalty program. I don't want your loyalty card. I don't want your SMS in the mid of the night, I do want to know when is the next discount on pair of boots, because I need 'em. I have money and I'll come for sure.

It is something that you can live without but there should be an alternative.
