Hey everyone 👋

We're building something for small sellers - people taking orders through Instagram DMs, Reddit, WhatsApp, wherever.

We want to talk to people who've hit the wall where it starts getting messy - tracking who paid, collecting addresses over DM, following up on buyers who disappear after "I'll pay tonight", figuring out what's pending vs shipped.

No pitch. Just want to understand how you're dealing with it right now before we build the whole product.

If this sounds like a problem that you face, drop a comment or DM me. 10 mins, Google Meet or just DMs.

Thanks 🙏

Hey everyone,

I'm a solo dev and I'm finally at the stage where I'm about to release my Chrome extension with a monthly subscription model. Super excited but now hitting the "how do I actually get paid" wall.

My target audience is global - US, EU, Southeast Asia, India, everywhere. I want something that:

- Supports major cards, PayPal, maybe even regional payment methods

- Doesn't require me to register a company

- Has reasonable fees (I'm a solo dev, margins matter)

- Easy to integrate into a Chrome extension or a simple landing page checkout or future SaaS

A few specific questions:

1. Any experience with Dodo Payments specifically? It seems newer and India-friendly which is a plus for me.

2. Any horror stories / green flags I should know about before picking one?

Would love to hear from other indie devs, especially solo founders who've shipped browser extensions or small SaaS tools. What did you go with and would you do it the same again?

Thanks 🙏

Been seeing this come up a lot lately. A client asks for something like a custom AI chatbot or a RAG-based search system, and the agency either turns it down or tries to figure it out on the fly.

I'm a Gen AI engineer who's been building these systems for a while - RAG pipelines, LLM integrations, automation workflows, Agentic AI. Starting to think there's a real gap here for white-label partnerships where main agencies keep the client and someone like me handles the technical delivery.

Has anyone done this kind of arrangement before?

Would love to hear how it worked out - or didn't.

Not gonna sugarcoat it – I'm short on cash this week and I need to make up ₹2000 before Monday. So I'm offering to build you a static landing page at a price that makes sense for both of us.

I'm a student. I do this stuff daily. You get a clean, fast, mobile-friendly landing page. I get to pay my dues on time. Fair deal.

What you get:

- Responsive static landing page (HTML/CSS/JS)

- Delivered in 24–48 hours

- Basic SEO structure

- 1 revision included

Starting at ₹ 2000 for a simple one-pager. DM me what you need.

Payment UPI. Half upfront is fine.

The volume isn't even the worst part anymore, it’s the redundancy.

I’m getting people who send an email, then send the exact same email 3 hours later because i didn’t reply fast enough. or they send three separate threads for the same bug. i feel like 40% of my "support time" is just merging tickets or realizing I'm answering the same person twice.

it feels like such a massive waste of dev time to be doing manual triage like this.

curious what the setup looks like for people who actually have this under control?

• are you using any specific tools that actually catch these duplicates?
• or did you just hire someone to deal with the chaos?
• is there an "auto-reply" strategy that actually works without making people more annoyed?

Hey everyone,

I've been lurking here long enough, figured it's time to actually post.

I'm a fullstack engineer with ~6 years of experience, and for the last 3 or so I've gone pretty deep on the AI/ML side - not just slapping an OpenAI API call into a Next.js app, but actually thinking through product architecture, model selection, RAG pipelines, fine-tuning decisions, evals, the whole thing.

I'm specifically looking for early-stage startups - pre-seed to Series A ideally. I like the chaos. I like being one of the first people touching the codebase and having actual influence over technical decisions before they become legacy decisions nobody wants to own.

Minimum - $20/hr

What I'm good at:

• Full-stack development (React/Next.js, Node, Python, FastAPI)
• LLM integration and AI product architecture (OpenAI, Anthropic, OSS models)
• RAG systems, vector DBs, agents and tool use
• Moving fast without completely destroying maintainability
• Talking to non-technical founders without making them feel dumb

What I'm NOT looking for:

• Enterprise or big co stuff - I'll die of boredom
• Equity-only arrangements (I respect the hustle but I have bills)
• Ghosting after the first call 😅

I genuinely care about what I work on. If you're building something in the AI/productivity/developer tools/health tech space, I'd love to hear about it. But honestly, a compelling problem + a good founder beats a trendy vertical any day.

Available for part-time or full-time contract. Open to longer engagements if things click.

Drop a comment or DM me. Happy to jump on a quick call if there's a fit.
