Built IndieHQ after paying £300+ yearly for basic invoice formatting — UK freelancers, thoughts?

Hey Product Hunt! 👋

I just soft-launched IndieHQ (indiehq.org) after getting frustrated with a recurring problem.

The pain: Every January, my accountant charged me £300+ just to reformat my FreshBooks exports for UK tax authorities (HMRC). The data was all there, just in the wrong format.

The solution: Built IndieHQ with proper UK tax compliance baked in:

- One-click HMRC-ready exports (sales/purchases separated, VAT calculated)

- Professional invoice templates with payment tracking

- Built-in expense categorization

- No enterprise bloat

Early traction: Already seeing interest from UK freelancers who are tired of the same accountant fee trap.

Questions for the community:

1. Any other UK founders here who've dealt with this HMRC export nightmare?

2. What's your take on building ultra-niche solutions vs. broader appeal?

3. Feedback on the positioning?

Would love your thoughts! 🚀
