How do you build trust as an indie hacker?

by
Makers Page
•

Hey Product Hunt community! 👋

I've been building in public for a while, and one thing I've noticed is how hard it is to build immediate trust when you're a solopreneur. We share revenue screenshots on X/Twitter, but let's be honest those can be inspected and edited in seconds.

That's why I built Makers Page.

It's the ultimate link-in-bio designed specifically for indie hackers and shipping legends.

But it's not just a list of links. It's about verification.

🚀 Core Features:

  • Verified Revenue: Connect your Stripe account to show actual, verified MRR. No more "trust me bro" screenshots.

  • Project Portfolio: Showcase all your launches in one sleek, cinematic interface.

  • Custom Domains: Connect your own domain for a fully branded experience.

  • Built for Speed: Next.js powered, SEO optimized, and designed to convert.

I built this because I wanted a home for my work that felt as premium as the products I ship.

We just pushed a big update (v1.2.2) polishing the SEO and custom domain experience, and I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Question for you all:

When you see an indie hacker's profile, what's the #1 signal that makes you trust them?

Check it out live at makers.page and let me know what you think! 👇

For me, trust comes from consistency over time — thoughtful replies, honest shipping updates, and how makers handle feedback, not just metrics.

Great execution on the verified revenue feature - that's the trust signal that matters most.

For me, the #1 trust signal is proof of shipping consistently. Not just one launch, but a pattern of building and iterating. Shows you're in it for the long haul, not just riding hype.

We built something similar at Needle (AI workflow automation) - showing our user activity stats publicly helped way more than revenue screenshots ever did.

Checked out makers.page One suggestion: maybe add a "recently shipped" section to highlight velocity? Would reinforce that consistency signal. Also feels a bit Cursor / Claude Code Vibe coded, I think many eyes are tired of this?

Good luck! 🔥
