Building quality backlinks is hard.

Agencies are expensive. Buying links is risky. Cold emailing gets ignored.

So I built https://t.co/OcclWXUOTE, a FREE backlink platform
No fees. No middlemen. Just real exchanges.

AI SEO in 2026 feels very indie hacker 😄

Ship fast, but don’t ignore AI visibility:
Ahrefs / Semrush for data → https://t.co/KEtiScJbmK for AI-ready audits → https://t.co/QPfhRljPdv for strategy.
Not about keywords anymore.
It’s about trust and clarity

I made a free marketplace to buy/sell startups
I wanted an alternative to the big startup marketplaces that charge listing fees or take a percentage of every sale, so I built https://t.co/PzZF2VRFSp, a platform that is 100% free to list and 100% free to browse. #buildinpublic

@NiaManases I think the rollback is the best part yet

[Stephan Goldberg @StepGoldberg]

@NiaManases Congrats, Nia! I love the idea, looking forward to getting my SEO report

We're building https://t.co/XziBGf4iCc - a tool that scans your site for common security issues. Just $19, one-time fee. No subscription. What other security checks would you find valuable for indie projects?

@Davidjpark96 Congrats on the amazing growth
I wanted to introduce Directory Maker (https://t.co/cCsPBmkkZZ) as a potential acquisition opportunity, it could easily be adapted for EdTech use cases.(educational resource hubs, training program directories, or white-label solutions .

[Stephan Goldberg @StepGoldberg]

@silvestro_cgn @useAffonso Thanks, I didn't know about it, seems like a good choice.

[Stephan Goldberg @StepGoldberg]

Considering adding affiliates for DirectoryMaker. Should we test interest with Gumroad, or go for a custom-built solution?

@ThePeterMick I’m an indie founder and SaaS creator focused on building affordable, high-impact tools for small businesses and solo entrepreneurs. I love sharing insights on product development, growth hacking, and the journey of building tech solutions on a budget

[Stephan Goldberg @StepGoldberg]

@johnrush Startup marathoner here. We actually use DirectoryMaker for our own directories (the oldest is 5 years) so selling wouldn't really make sense, but I can understand people just starting and needing the cash.
