Hey everyone,

I developed a Chrome extension that enables you to create bug reports that are easily shareable. For this type of data, users often want to understand the inner workings of the code to ensure their data is secure, so I decided to make it open source. You can get started for free. Also, feel free to contribute by submitting issue tickets or PRs for fixes or additions you'd like to see.

Feel free to star the repo if you want.

Whenever I speak to folks building in the tech space, whether they are indie hackers or venture-backed startup founders, I find the ones who make it say the same thing: "If I knew how hard it would be, I would never have done it." I feel that. You're supposed to enjoy the journey more than the end goal, but what if the path is horrible? For me, I seem to have stumbled into a stubborn mindset. It has been five years, and this is my third startup. The last two were venture-backed; this one hasn't raised money yet. I don't enjoy the failure. It creates a numb, heavy feeling in my forehead (hopefully not a sign of something else) that doesn't go away until I get a small win. Then the next day, it's back. The failures heavily outweigh the wins in terms of quantity. But here I am, back in front of the laptop, in front of my code editor, in front of LinkedIn. Writing code, looking for customers, talking to customers. You constantly hear that if you want money, then just get a job, but that is only the case for the elite. For someone with an unconventional background, this is the only way to create a life-changing outcome. So here I am, trying to love the journey, but my nose is bleeding.

The bar for launching a product has risen. Putting something very basic out there can sometimes leave a bad impression with potential users.

I'll use your web app and report any bugs I encounter, free of charge.

I've worked as a Software Engineer and Head of Engineering & Product for several startups and large companies. I also hold a PhD in Human Factors Engineering and Software Engineering, so I enjoy helping to enhance software.

Please leave your email below, along with your web app's URL and a brief description of your product. I'll collaborate with 10 teams to help identify any bugs.

Hi everyone, My friend is hosting a 4 week group building session to code up an Amazon clone. He's ex-facebook and is looking to keep his skills sharp while looking for the next gig. Over four weeks, They’ll work with various technologies including reactjs and nodejs, so feel free to join them if you’re interested in the topic.

I’ve joined previous cohorts and found it motivating to complete projects with a group in the past, it’s especially useful when you get stuck. Plus, it’s free! If you’re interested, you’ll find the cohort here: https://buildfaast.com/#service under the name `Amazon Clone (Intermediate/Advanced)`

When I was starting out it was hard to figure out what was the best direction to go in tech. There are so many specialisations and niches and getting in contact with people is hard.

We built Casa (trycasa.app) as a place to get in contact with those that seem unreachable.

My colleague Dhruv (trycasa.app/dhruv) who has 10+ years in PM in the valley is using the platform to give free group sessions to anyone that requests time.

Join the free group session on "Breaking into Product Management" here: https://trycasa.app/e/gXxLdYR68ZsSYNMg0yTj

Join a group session with him if you're new to tech and want advice on where to start, how to start, or just want an outside perspective on your current path!

Hey everyone,

We were once creators that had to quit because it was hard to monetise & grow in the early days. So we've built a platform for creators to create a website and offer direct engagement to their follower base.

Here's an example of the profile: www.trycasa.app/dhruv

Would be great to get some of you signed up at www.trycasa.app for feedback. This is useful for the following group:

-Artists who are looking to monetise their followers

-Developers looking to freelance or teach directly to their network.

-Sales/Marketing folks looking to help small businesses grow.

-3D freelancers that are looking to engage directly with their following or grow it.

-Anyone that is trying to become their own business and easily create a platform for themselves.

Noticing a trend with more PMs/Devs becoming content creators. Wondering what's the lure?

A few of my friends are becoming content creators, while working full-time as software devs/PMs. Are there any downsides here? For example, you put out some content and the company fires you.

They're mainly doing coding tutorials and day-in-the-life type videos.

Hey everyone,

We want to make it so that everyone can get involved in their favourite content creator's work. We help to set up short paid calls with your favourite micro creator (10k-50k followers on instagram) using our platform. You can choose times that the creator is available and arrange the call. The best part is you don't have to prepare for the call, based on the creator's theme (comedy, lifestyle, fashion) we create conversation topics to break the ice or laugh about.

We are on a mission to open up the creative industry to everyone. We want to make it so that anyone can create great content with someone they admire.

We're in private beta so if interested please comment
