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.

@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

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.

alex saint

@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!

Excited to continue following your journey. Thank you for sharing with us!

@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
