What are you building this month? [March 2021]
What are you building? Share what's going on and what your goals are for this month.
The 4th product of my 6 products in 6 months will be public in the next few hours: userbooster. It's a comprehensive dashboard that will help you set up a proper launching strategy, and get early traction So, I'll work on it and probably add an update after the first feedback!
I also need to grow remotefr, I would like to have 200+ dev on the mailing list. I'll create some content, push some ads and continue gathering full remote job offers
I'll try to push STW to PH this month. It's a list of 400+ places to post your product. This kind of info product generally works well there, let's see!
And, of course, I'll build a new product. Not sure what for now :D
I'll release the first interviews I've recorded for Quicktalks For theLIFEBOARD I'll try to release a couple of new feature to save tasks in draft/pending status to work on them in future weeks. I'll also try to publish a couple of articles in my blog
I'm building a small, clutter free job board. I've laid the foundations down so I'm pretty keen on kicking off this month.
Thoughts welcome!
Currently working on Curateable - a tool to sell curated lists and collections.
https://curateable.io
- Trying to finalise our copy and messaging
- Simplify our collection landing page
- Reach out to influencers to sell their lists
- Create more collections to share
I've just launched my first product, which was a goal I had set some months ago. It's called MakersDB (https://makers-db.com ) and consists of a DB with more than 5000 makers along with their products, twitter usernames and topics they talk about. These are all the features it has for now:
Discover 5000+ makers along with their Twitter usernames, content they talk about and online projects.
Filter You can filter makers who talk in Twitter about: Programming, Frontend, NoCode, AI, Crypto, SaaS, Marketing, Ecom, #BuildInPublic, Remote (more filters coming soon)
Trending users Quick Twitter growth usually means that the maker has achieved some amazing goal. Don't miss it and learn from it!
I've had 0 sales using Twitter ads. Tomorrow I'll post it on PH and my goal is having at least one sale through the month.
@rodbarest hey there is an issue with your ssl. I got NET::ERRCERTCOMMONNAMEINVALID Este servidor no pudo probar que su dominio es makers-db.com; el certificado de seguridad proviene de shortener.secureserver.net. Es posible que esto se deba a una configuración incorrecta o a que un atacante interceptó la conexión.
By the way, I'm planning to move into a freemium version of the product. I'll publish around 1000 rows available for everyone or so, and the other 4000+ under payment.
@rodbarest Also get the previous error above when using https. Works well when changing to http though 👌

Same focus:
- nullitics.com (world cheapest and most minimal web analytics)
- onthesamepage.online (privacy-focused minimal collaborative whiteboard, used in schools)
- lalatabs.com (more of a fun project for music tabulatures for various instruments)
I plan to launch nullitics.com this month. I plan to rewrite onthesamepage.online frontend to apply a slightly updated design. Maybe post a few songs or add a few instruments to lalatabs.com
Working on HuntStrap, a platform where you can pre-hunt products before PH launch, hunt for ideas and hunt for problems.

Any suggestion welcome!
😵 Had a crazy, epic Feb DIY-ing my own @-mention autocomplete component for Lifelog. Hoping to go at a more steady and sane pace instead for March, building out edit/delete functions for posts, goals, and comments, and reaching that stable version 1.0 finally!
Product roadmap here: https://golifelog.com/roadmap
💵 Also doing a themed learning month in March, called Moolah March, to continue learning about money and monetization.
- Acquire at least 2 new subscribers for Lifelog
- Sell at least 2 copies of a Carrd clone template for Plugins For Carrd
- Get at least 2 web design projects for Sweet Jams Sites
Why two? Because I might be lucky one time, but to be lucky twice is harder, and a better gauge that the marketing and monetization efforts are working. If I fail, so be it. But the challenge is to challenge myself seriously.
Onwards to Moolah March!
I have launched apistack, which is abstracting workflows like SMS sending, databases, mailers behind simple to use APIs. You don't need to subscribe to multiple services anymore.
You can integrate OTP verification using SMS in < 3 mins without worrying about Twilio or equivalent subscriptions etc.
I've finished the basic version of EmbedPolls. It helps you to increase your blog engagement or collect information, you can create polls easily that you can put anywhere (on a single blog post, your landing page, etc).
Goals for the month:
- Find my starting niche, the tool is too generic now besides I built it for my use case (I wanted to create good looking polls inside my Ghost blog posts in a minimalistic way (like Twitter Polls))
- Cocreate and make product iterations with the initial user
- Enjoy the journey
I'm building Bipdash
A dashboard app allowing to search Twitter information (makers, products, hashtags, tweets) focused on "buildInPublic".
After having launched Budg.co iOS app, in March I’m planning to ship Android app and a redesigned landing page 🚀
I'm building a lightweight and customizable community tool. Each group can share a set of spaces, and each space can be a chat, a forum, or a notebook of posts. Lately I'm looking to discover the different use cases when multiple mods of discussions/collaboration are housed in the same place.

Feedback welcome!
I’m working on building a meeting schedule tool that links directly to Google Calendar (and later, other calendar apps).
At my 9-5 I do a lot of meeting scheduling with members of my team, and thought I could build a tool that, at the very least, would be useful to me to schedule meetings around my (and others’) free time on our calendars.
I know that tools such as Calendly exist, but I’m a maker and thought it would be a fun and challenging project to undertake!
The goal is to be able to share a link that shows an invitee a calendar with available meeting times, factoring in free slots on my imported Google Calendar.
I have a lot of the foundation up and running, and am currently working on the scheduling logic. I’m documenting my progress daily here, as well as on my Twitter @rickyio7.
I'm thinking about building something that helps SaaS's send their users physical and digital rewards.
Just ping an API everytime something happens (like logging a task on MakerLog) and have my backend automatically perform some actions. Like: Call a webhook to award digital stuff (badge, email, etc) or send users something like a sticker at a 100 day streak. Next goal: 365 days for a MakerLog t-shirt!
Add logging through the API and don't worry about shipping physical goods. We take care of this.
What do you think?
(ML is just an example)
I started working on https://budgie.chat in Feb 2021. A solution to async video meetings for remote teams. So you can use it to send audio, video & screen recorded messages within Slack, and your speech is automatically transcribed and posted to Slack :)
Really want to push this month to improve the landing page as well as finalise integrating with Microsoft Teams as well :)
Excited to be part of the community!
So far I have been working on twitMate - I have just gone live with the new landing page which includes pre-launch sign-up.
The main aim of this is to avoid my past mistake of ignoring marketing until a product is fully launched. I am aiming to get 10 pre-launch customers and in order to do this I will provide incentives to early-adopters.
Check it out at: https://twitmate.com
Hopefully releasing coolify first non-beta version. It's an open-source, hassle-free, self-hostable Heroku & Netlify alternative.
The first version includes deploying Static and Nodejs sites/applications and MongoDB database with one click.
The apps and sites are wired to Github, so after you plugged them into Coolify, all you need to do is push code, and it will rebuild/redeploy everything behind the scenes! Also, you can have separate deployments for each branch!
I would like to include more in the first non-beta release, but then I realized it does not need more. I'll iterate over and over; that's a better strategy!
@andrasbacsai Starred! I think this is a great idea, I could definitely use something like this
I was sick of bad recommendations from Netflix so we did https://my-flix.net
MYFLIX is a netflix search & community.
Product hunt:

I launched it 2 days ago.
Any comment is appreciated. Thanks for your feedback
Hi everyone, me and my friend @benwrightdev are developing a web app tool for web developers, would be great to hear some feedback on whether this is something you'd use or anything you'd like to see implemented!
Our website is https://www.usemarky.io/ and the goal of the tool is to essentially improve the accuracy and communication speed and ultimately help developers complete projects faster and to their clients satisfaction! This app overlays onto your website you are building so you and your client can both access it, and is super easy for your client to give pin point feedback by adding annotations, comments and to do lists for you to access and make changes.
Would really appreciate any feedback on this website, and if you have any cool ideas for it, please let me know. And if this is something you'd be open to using, please feel free to sign up for email notifications on our website so you can try it for yourself when we release the first version!

@jameswallbridge it looks great, it seems like it should be an edit tool that website visits can use to point it glaring errors on the pages, like text colour not contrasting with background, alignment bad on ipad
I've just soft launched Milki, a focus/study app for students and makers to stay on track. No issues yesterday!
Hopefully i'll get the android version on in the next few days.

I've just started a new app idea and decided to share the whole process on YouTube for the first time :)
This is my first video: https://youtu.be/c4l8e7pJCsA
Working on a site called GameFocal.com, the idea is a matchmaking system for people to find gamers to play with! Going to add some more things, but really wanting to make a place where you can find a group to play with in a random/ cool fashion!
I'm building a tool to help infrastructure engineers manage requests from other teams through forms which translate to the exact procedure.
If you need accesses for example, you give all necessary information, and the engineer simply sees the commands and operations to perform.
It creates a living documentation, also allowing new comers to get in an on-call rotation much more easily.
I'm working on this tool called "Compare Web Services" which helps you compare different web services from multiple providers and choose the best cost-effective service.
Check it here:

I have started to build a marketplace. This will be a market with vendor and clients. Payment will be released to vendor when client got the item delivered to him. The platform will act as escrow.
In the mobile app clients can browse a list of items that the vendors offer, sorted by geoposition, availability, date, rating, category. Then select an item and order the product.
The backend will be quite complicated and complex. So I'm going to use FaunaDB with Auth0 or Firebase for OAuth. Then I build web, iOS and Android apps with Flutter.
I did a total tech-stack-pivot last week, from fullstack javascript with DynamoDB and React Native to FQL and Flutter with Dart. It feels like the right decision. Very good toolchain and much faster development cycle.
