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.

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

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

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