Hovercode | Infrastructure Engineer | Contract, part-time or full-time | Remote (EU preferred)
Hovercode is a QR code generator and analytics platform. We're a small, profitable company that's based in the UK and is trusted by hundreds of thousands worldwide. It's a pretty simple business compared to most on here!
We're seeking an infrastructure engineer to architect a setup that can handle the next level of scale reliably
More details here and how to apply here (very simple application!): https://hovercode.com/careers/infrastructure-engineer/

Hovercode | https://hovercode.com | REMOTE | Full-time or part-time | Full-stack developer
Hovercode is a QR code generator and analytics platform. We're a small, profitable company that's based in the UK and is trusted by tens of thousands worldwide. It's a pretty simple business compared to most on here and right now it's just me running it.
We're seeking a full-stack developer (mid level) who's language agnostic. Your primary focus will be improving our existing integrations and creating new ones. Integrations on our roadmap: Chrome, Figma, Airtable, Zapier, Make, and possibly more. If that works out, you will start to work on the core product, which is built with Django, Postgres and some Golang on the backend with mostly HTML, Alpine.js, HTMX, and vanilla JS on the front-end (and Tailwind).
Hovercode isn't a startup per se, but a small software business, so it's a calm working environment and part-time is an option. This makes it well suited to someone who wants more time and energy for life or to hack on their own projects etc.

Pretty surreal to see a clone of my product for sale on here
My product: https://feedbacklane.com
The clone: https://zeroacquire.com/simple-form/
I’m all for getting inspired by ideas, but such close copies feels wrong

I work alone so don't get the chance to pair program, but I hear a lot of good things about tuple.app

I wonder if their “tuna” could be vegan in that case

One of the hosts of this podcast (https://softwaresocial.dev/) is building a file upload widget and is getting most of their early trials from the Heroku marketplace. Worth a listen and maybe even reaching out to compare experiences

This site is where the term came from: https://www.indiehackers.com/
People define it differently, but generally I think of indie hackers as people, usually technical, who are building or are aiming to build smaller tech businesses. They generally either bootstrap or raise small amounts of money. A lot of indie hackers are would be happy with a business that makes 5-10k USD per month per founder

I don’t think I see what you mean here. Where am I selling a list of business models?

There could be categories of things people want without many solutions in some marketplaces. For example, in the Hubspot marketplace, there are many WhatsApp widgets in their marketplace. Someone made one for the Pipedrive marketplace and it’s doing very well. There would be similar missing apps for Pipedrive, or there would be other platforms where a WhatsApp widget could do well.
