I've tried IH for the past couple of weeks, and I've been active in discussions, I'm unable to submit a post; it's discouraging, to be honest.
It's hard to understand how it works, I found this today https://www.indiehackers.com/pro...
I would love to hear from active users tips or best practices.
@franksondors you get involves with other immediately. On the other hand on indie hackers, new users does not know exactly when they account will be promoted
@michael_choupak Everybody has their own reasons to hang in those two platforms. For me, it's about connecting with other founders. For you, it may be different.
I don't really understand Indie hackers. I tried making a profile, but it won't let me do anything. PH has better UX, so I didn't even try IH after that. Also didn't understand the purpose of indie hackers.
As per my understanding, if you're looking for networking and advice, Indie Hackers might be your choice. But if you want to gain visibility for your product, Product Hunt could be the way to go. It's all about what aligns best with your current objectives.
I enjoy using Product Hunt for two reasons: firstly, its user interface is intuitive and easy to navigate. Secondly, it is welcoming to new users, unlike other platforms that restrict new users from posting. This makes it a great platform for indie hackers looking to share their work.
I've recently started using PH and so far i like it :P
few months ago i've tried to use IH but it was difficult so never used it for my new products launching thinking to use PH currently and launched my brand new product here.
Hi there! It depends on what you're looking for. Indie Hackers is a great place to connect with other founders and get feedback on your product. Product Hunt is a great way to get exposure to a wider audience.
Both great, but I feel like the community on IH is more consistent. I find myself only coming here when I'm close to launching sth 😅 I'm guessing others are probably doing the same, which makes it feel a little more transactional here
