IndieShow
A single-page portfolio for indie builders to showcase every shipped project.
Tagline
Your shipped work, finally in one place.
The public shelf for people who ship multiple products.
A sharper alternative to Linktree for builders.
Turn your backlog into proof, fast.
The public shelf for people who ship multiple products.
The product’s core structure is literally a shelf of shipped, building, and failed work, which differentiates it from generic portfolio builders that focus on resumes or case studies.
A sharper alternative to Linktree for builders with real projects.
Unlike link-in-bio tools, IndieShow gives each project its own card, category, description, and visit link, making it much more credible for founders with substantive products.
The fastest way to turn your backlog of side projects into proof.
The “Shipped / Building / Womp womp” framing is a strong pain-killer for founders who need social proof and narrative clarity, not another generic homepage.
Primary user
Solo indie hacker or founder publicly shipping multiple side projects who wants one clean link instead of scattered tweets and half-finished portfolios
ICP #1
Solo indie hacker with 3-10 launched projects and no polished personal website
Pain
Their work is spread across X, Product Hunt, GitHub, App Store, and random domain pages, so nobody gets the full picture quickly
Why this solves
IndieShow consolidates every shipped and building project into one browsable page with links, logos, and short descriptions, making the founder look organized and prolific
ICP #2
Bootstrapped SaaS founder using public proof to win trust with users, partners, and investors
Pain
A standard portfolio or LinkedIn profile does not show product velocity or the number of things they've actually shipped
Why this solves
The shipped/building breakdown and visible project shelf turn product history into immediate credibility without needing a full website rebuild
ICP #3
Creator-founder or maker who wants a lightweight alternative to a full personal site
Pain
They want to show ongoing experiments without maintaining a complex website, CMS, or custom design system
Why this solves
IndieShow is a simple hosted page with a live editor, custom handle, and project cards, so it is faster than building a site and more structured than posting links on social
Strengths
- +The page instantly communicates the concept with a concrete example profile at indie-show.com/matthew.
- +The shipped/building/womp womp structure is memorable and gives the product personality.
- +The product demo is tangible because it shows real projects, logos, descriptions, and outbound links.
Weaknesses
- −The hero copy is awkward and grammatically broken: “Show everything you'vearchived.” undermines credibility.
- −The value proposition is too narrow and assumes users already identify as indie hackers.
- −There is no clear explanation of who the page is for beyond the founder audience, which limits broader adoption.
- −The landing page does not explain why IndieShow is better than a simple Notion page, Carrd site, or Linktree.
- −The visual hierarchy is weak; the important CTA competes with lots of example content before the user fully understands the product.
Fix these
- Rewrite the hero headline and subhead to clearly state the benefit: one page for all shipped, building, and failed projects.
- Add a comparison section against Linktree, Carrd, and Notion to make the differentiation obvious.
- Introduce social proof or quantified outcomes, such as more profile visits or better conversion to demo clicks.
- Clarify the target audience with examples like solo founders, indie hackers, and micro-SaaS builders.
- Tighten the visual story above the fold so the CTA and sample page are understood in under five seconds.

FAQ
Is this just a Linktree clone?
No. Linktree lists links. IndieShow gives each project context: category, description, logo, and a dedicated card. It’s for founders with real products, not just social links.
Do I need a full personal website?
No. If you want one clean page that shows what you’ve built, IndieShow is enough. It’s faster than building a site and more structured than a Notion page.
Who is this for exactly?
Solo founders, indie hackers, micro-SaaS builders, and creator-founders with multiple projects. If you’ve shipped more than one thing and need a better way to show it, this fits.
Can I show failed projects too?
Yes. That’s part of the point. Shipped, building, and womp womp all live on the same shelf, because the full story is more useful than only showing wins.
How fast can I set it up?
Fast enough to do in one sitting. Sign in with Google, claim a handle, add your projects, and publish the page.
Most builders look busier than they are. IndieShow puts every shipped, building, and failed project on one public page. One handle. One link. Actual proof. indie-show.com/matthew is the vibe.
Linktree is too thin for builders. If you have 3+ projects, each one deserves a card, a description, and a real visit link. That’s what IndieShow does: a public shelf for the things you’ve shipped.
I kept losing my own projects in old tweets, GitHub tabs, and half-dead domains. So I built a single page for everything I’ve shipped, am building, and regret shipping. Turns out clarity is a feature.
Built a page I wish existed when I had 7 random side projects and no decent home for them. IndieShow is for solo founders who want one clean link that says: I ship things. No CMS. No website project. Just the shelf.
Your portfolio is probably a mess. Tweets in one place. Product Hunt in another. GitHub somewhere else. App Store links buried in bookmarks. IndieShow fixes the obvious problem: no one can see the full body of work.
A Notion page is not enough if you actually ship products. People need to see logos, short descriptions, categories, and live links. IndieShow is the difference between “I make stuff” and “here’s the shelf.”
Here’s the entire product in 5 seconds: claim handle → add project cards → tag shipped/building/womp womp → publish one clean page. That’s it. No design system. No rabbit hole. Just a public shelf.
Watch a messy backlog become proof. Add your logos, titles, descriptions, and outbound links. The live preview updates as you edit. Suddenly your work looks organized, credible, and easy to share.
People trust founders who show receipts. A single page with shipped projects does more for credibility than a generic bio ever will. That’s why builders use IndieShow as their default share link.
The page does the talking. If you’ve launched multiple products, IndieShow turns that into instant proof: live work, visible count, clear categories, no fluff. It’s like a CV, but for people who ship.
Angle: public shelf for builders
I kept seeing the same pattern: indie founders with real shipped work, but no good way to show it. Their projects were split across X, GitHub, Product Hunt, app stores, and random domains. So I built IndieShow. It gives solo builders one public shelf for shipped, building, and failed projects. Custom handle. Project cards. Live preview. Shareable page. It’s not a personal website replacement. It’s a faster way to make your work visible. If you ship multiple things, this should probably be your default link. Would love feedback from builders who’ve felt this pain.
Angle: why not Linktree
Link-in-bio tools are fine until you have actual products. Then the problem changes. You don’t need a list of links. You need context. What did you ship? What are you building now? What died quietly in the corner? IndieShow turns that into one tidy public page with project cards, logos, descriptions, and visit links. It’s built for people who want to look organized without pretending their work is just a pile of links. If you’re a solo founder, maker, or micro-SaaS operator, I’d be curious whether this feels more useful than a normal portfolio page.
Angle: build-in-public proof
The best credibility signal for a builder is not a polished homepage. It’s visible shipping history. That’s the idea behind IndieShow. One page that shows what you’ve shipped, what you’re actively building, and what didn’t work. Not to be cute. To make the story obvious. I wanted a place where my projects didn’t disappear into scattered posts and forgotten tabs. Now they live on one shelf. I’m especially interested in feedback from people with 3–10 projects who have never made a proper portfolio because they didn’t want to maintain one.

The public shelf for shipped projects
Description
One page for every shipped, building, and failed project. Claim a handle, add project cards, and share a clean public shelf with links, logos, and a live editor.
Maker's first comment
I built IndieShow because my own work was scattered everywhere: old tweets, dead domains, GitHub repos, launch pages, and half-finished Notion docs. When I wanted to share what I’d shipped, I had nothing clean to send. So I made the thing I wanted: one simple public shelf for shipped, building, and failed projects. The goal wasn’t to replace a personal website. It was to make the “what have you actually built?” question easy to answer in one link. If you’re a solo founder or indie hacker, I’d love to know whether the shipped/building/womp womp structure feels useful or too gimmicky. Also curious whether people want this to stay brutally simple, or if there are one or two extra fields that would make it much more valuable.
Pinned maker comment
Would love feedback on two things: 1) whether the shelf metaphor is clear immediately, and 2) whether the product feels more useful than a Linktree/Carrd/Notion page for someone with multiple projects.

Cold outreach template
Hey {firstName}, saw your {context} and it looks like you’ve shipped a lot more than one page shows. I built IndieShow to turn scattered projects into one public shelf with shipped/building/failed sections. Want me to set up a free page for you?
Product Hunt timing
Launch on Tuesday or Wednesday at 8:00–9:00 AM PT so you catch US morning traffic and still have time to reply all day. The product is simple, so a single clean screenshot and a founder story will matter more than a long prep cycle.

Playful, builder-native, and a little self-aware, as seen in lines like “Show everything you'vearchived,” “The shelf,” and the category “Womp womp.”
