I built a smartphone price comparison site for Nigeria — Jumia, Konga, and Jiji in one place. Here's how I built it and what I learned 🧵

Drop your project URL Let’s drive some traffic

@MG_of_the_north "Buyer pain, workaround, market gap, and pricing logic in one place" is a genuinely useful frame — most opportunity tools stop at the problem.

BuildSignal isn’t trying to produce generic startup advice. The goal is to surface specific opportunities like SwitchShield, where the buyer pain, workaround, market gap, and pricing logic line up in one concrete use case. BuildSignal.today #indiehacking #saas #automation #startups

Konga scraper just got more resilient — added proxy fallback for when ScraperAPI hits its limit mid-scrape. No more half-finished runs 🇳🇬 #buildinpublic #indiehacking

@vibecodedan The "without breaking flow" part is what makes this useful — that's the exact moment most thoughts get lost. Is the dashboard web-based or does it live in the extension?

@theboyfisco Jottle is a Chrome extension for you to capture thoughts without breaking flow. Just type your messy thought, and it gets sent to your dashboard titled, categorized, and the grammar cleaned up.

My Chrome extension is published! Doing some live testing. Have a few things to tidy up. Not aiming for perfection (does that even exist) before launching, but there are a couple of things that need fixing. Super stoked! Don't forget it. Jottle it! #buildinpublic #indiedev

@PauluneMoon @colosseum @wesplit_io Crypto is the rail, not the product" — that's the whole playbook right there. Every successful crypto product that crossed over figured this out. How are you handling the wallet onboarding for the no-coiners?

Day 17 of #BuildInPublic for @colosseum Spent the day deep in user interviews. Talked to 8 people this week, web3 natives, casual users, and pure no-coiners who just split dinner bills on Lydia/Venmo. Here's what stood out 👇 → Web3 users want speed + choice of wallet → Casual users want zero crypto jargon (the word "wallet" already scares them) → No-coiners want… it to just feel like Lydia, but better One insight kept coming back: ↳ Nobody wants to "use crypto" ↳ They want to split a bill. Pay a friend. Get reimbursed. ↳ Crypto is the rail, not the product. Back to shipping with that in mind 👉 wesplit.io

@beckerilja @GoldilocksOrbit Absolutely!

@GoldilocksOrbit @theboyfisco lets connect :-)

Things I've heard while building DailyBuddy: "You need AI features to compete." "Nobody wants simple tools anymore." "You need VC funding." 3 years later — still bootstrapped. Still no AI. Still building. 😅 #indiehacker #buildinpublic #noai

@schatwiti 5 apps in 18 months solo is the kind of output that makes you question what teams are actually for. How do you handle support across all 5?

Mon stack solo pour livrer des apps en prod : → Flutter (mobile + web) → Supabase (auth + db + realtime) → Riverpod → Google ML Kit (OCR) 5 apps en 18 mois. Seul. Bons outils > grande équipe. #Flutter #Supabase #IndieHacker

@SupKev9796 The use case is hyper specific but that's what makes it interesting — did the numbers actually surprise your friend when she saw the Bangkok comparison?

My friend runs a cafe in Melbourne. Her Thai employee is opening the same concept in Bangkok. Out of curiosity I vibe-coded a little tool to compare the startup costs. Really wanna get some feedback. venturo.tech #buildinpublic #indiehacker

@sheetFlux 11 trackers with consistent design language across all of them is quietly impressive — that kind of coherence is harder than it looks.

11 trackers. Same design language. Books, movies, games, board games, comics, music, concerts, courses, crafts, art, drinks. Each one has a Dashboard, Insights with charts and a Library. sheetflux.pages.dev #GoogleSheets #Productivity #IndieHacker

@samtinkerbox The pricing anxiety is real — spent way too long on this myself. Did you notice any difference in conversion between the price points or was it basically flat?

@marclou "Going from 0 to 1 is what I actually love" — this is the most honest thing I've read about building. The score keeping creeps up on everyone.

I spent the last few days away from work, with my family, working out, and doing normal IRL things. A few things became clear. 1. Making money was never the goal, but somewhere along the way, revenue became the score I look at. If I make $80k/month and the next month $70k, I feel bad. Nothing changes in my life; I barely spend the money, but my brain only sees the drop. I even feel uncomfortable writing this because I know how lucky that sounds. What I actually love is still going from 0 to 1: building something, shipping it, seeing it exist. 2. My 𝕏 account changed my relationship with people. I never thought it would grow past 10k followers. Back when a few hundred people followed me, I knew names, had conversations, made friends. Now there are 300k people here, my DMs never stop, and every post gets read in a way I don’t control. I feel grateful for it, but I also miss how simple it felt before. I'll spend less time trying to answer everyone, and more time having real conversations with fewer people. 3. Work follows me everywhere. Ideas, products, things to improve, things to fix. It gave me a lot, but it also sits in my head all the time. Even during a walk with my wife, part of my brain is still building something. I don’t know how to turn that off. But I don't think I want to anyway; obsession is what brought me here. I just have to live with it. I haven’t built anything in 2 weeks, and I already miss it! Maybe that’s what a break is supposed to do?

Just fixed a bug that was killing all my Konga deals — Samsung listings were missing "Galaxy" and Apple missing "iPhone" in the DB so nothing was matching. Re-ran matching on 438 listings. Works now 🇳🇬 #buildinpublic

@shubh19 It’s 1 database write. The message is saved once and linked to a single group_id. All 256 members then "read" that same record

Interviewer: A WhatsApp group has 256 members. You send 1 message. Is it 1 database write or 256 writes?

@droidbuilds The ultimate 'distraction-free' coding setup😂

finally got a macbook 🥹 what’s the first thing I should install?

@shubh19 Ngl, codex does wonders 🔥
