Indie Hackers Group Posts
Indie Hackers hosts some of the most transparent conversations about building software businesses on the internet. Founders share revenue numbers, growth tactics, failures, and lessons learned inside topic-specific groups. But keeping up with multiple groups manually is a grind - posts scroll by quickly, interesting discussions get buried, and there is no way to export group content for systematic review.
What it extracts
- Position — The ranking position of the post in the group feed.
- Title — The headline of the Indie Hackers group post.
- Upvotes — The total upvote count reflecting community engagement.
- Submitted by — The username of the person who published the post.
- Posted Date — The date and time when the post was published.
- Comment Count — How many replies the post has received.
- Post Link — Direct link to the full discussion thread.
What you can do with it
- Never miss high-signal discussions. Capture every post from the groups that matter to you instead of hoping you catch them during a casual scroll.
- Spot trending topics by analyzing upvote patterns and comment counts across hundreds of posts. See which problems and ideas resonate most with the founder community.
- Track competitor activity on Indie Hackers. Extract posts where founders discuss alternatives, share reviews, or ask for recommendations in your product category.
- Build a research archive of startup community discussions. Scheduled extractions create a searchable timeline of what founders are talking about over weeks and months.
How it works
