MicroFounder

We should have more platforms like MicroFounder to encourage people who want to start their journey. Great community, I mention about it whever I meet someone who asks for indie world :)

A couple weeks ago, Rauno reached out asking to feature me and my product, Harold, on MicroFounder. At first I thought, "oh no this is going to take a lot of time", but Rauno had already uploaded my product's information and had 3 thoughtful questions for me in the comments to answer. It was so straight-forward, and the questions were so well-written, that I quickly spent 5 minutes answering them. I wasn't expecting much to come of it, but I've already gotten 37 clicks from it in just over 2 weeks. Last week, it was my biggest referrer! I highly recommend to other "microfounders" who could use a little extra traffic!

I found it useful compared to the products section of IH because of the focus on SaaS projects that are suitable for a single coder to build. It’s a great signal to noise ratio. I haven’t used it to build my own SaaS, but I plan to.

My honest feedback :) : I really like it, althought there is no free version, things are limited too quickly in my opinion. I'm considering paying, but I don't know how consistent are the updates (I see some makers I know on Twitter that are making more than what's displayed) Can't access the discussions and see what the section is about Same for the rest of the content, the Q&As and stuff, it doesn't seem right to pay for something that may not be updated, how often is it ? Why not make it an UGC platform, where people can update their metrics (like https://indiepa.ge/), and create content regularly (like https://www.indiehackers.com/), or just like PH, but yea for solo-founders I think there is real potential for it to be a living / real-time platform, with regular events (i would pay a monthly fee if there was a weekly/monthly call with successful founders), monetize with ads and stuff
