Designing for Indie Hackers

Hello guys,

I have been an observer for so long but now I want in on the action.
I'm a design engineer turning into an indie hacker. Here's the problem I want to solve.

Basic Idea: designing for profitable indie developers

Problem: most indie developers focus on shipping fast, sometimes resulting in them forgetting about designing the interface.

Solution: provide a design audit and design a polished interface for indie developers looking to revamp their interface.

Monetization model: a one-off price affordable to any indie developer. I'm still thinking of the exact price but in the range of $300 - $450 for 7 designed pages.

Why focus only on indie developers?
· More impact while still having control of my time.
· I am looking to foster relationships with fellow markers.
· Designing for indie developers means my work is more impactful because I am directly improving someone's MRR and livelihood rather than just adding a few zeros for stakeholders in a faceless corp.

As a designer for indie developers building in public, I will also be designing in public which helps in marketing your product to more people.
