I launched IndieCru.sh solo. Here’s what actually happened.

Not gonna lie.. I didn’t expect this.

I launched IndieCru.sh with no team, no funding, and no idea how people would react.

It ended up #8 on Product Hunt, right next to companies backed by millions.

I’m just one guy, with a laptop, trying to fix a real problem:

🚨 Too many devs launch too late.

With zero users. Zero feedback. Zero proof.

So I built IndieCru.sh.. a space to:

  • drop your app early

  • get real beta testers

  • collect actual testimonials

  • and grow before launch day

We also added:

  • a dev leaderboard

  • a reward system powered by our own token ($INDIE)

  • private testing programs

  • and a wild community already testing like crazy

Now I’m turning this into something bigger.

If you're building something or just love trying new stuff.. join us.

Leave a comment. Drop your app. Test one.

This is the new way to launch.

It's amazing that I found it via my own product! You've definitely put a lot of work into it and very happy to have stumbled upon it.

@hacksore that seriously made my day! wild how the internet works.

glad you stumbled on it… let me know if there's anything you'd improve or add!

@alexsssaint This is awesome, Alex — love the raw energy and mission behind IndieCru.sh. 🚀

I just launched OrangeTab, a lightweight Chrome plugin that solves a real everyday frustration: too many duplicate tabs cluttering your browser. 🧡 One click, and they’re gone.

No AI, no noise — just a clean browser so you can focus better.

Would love for fellow builders and testers to give it a try and share feedback!

Plugin: ChromeWebStore

@nikkielizdemere thanks for being here! this journey feels way less lonely with people like you around

Have to say that naming is nailed. You did a good job with copywriting :)

alex saint

@busmark_w_nika means a lot! took me 12 bad names and 5 rewrites to land on this one

glad it finally clicked. if you ever launch something, happy to brainstorm names with you too 👀

Nika

@alexsssaint what was the first name you wanted to use? :D

alex saint

@busmark_w_nika haha the first name was AppNest... sounded like a birdhouse for startups 🐦

then came BetaDock, even Rose (don’t ask why).

but when IndieCru.sh finally popped, i knew that was the one.

Nika

@alexsssaint TBH, AppNest is also quite cool. But probably with Rose or BetaDock I wouldn't identify what is going on :D
