Roast my landing page for a developer tool
by

A low-code tool to create your infrastructure quickly on the cloud.

I'm not sure the world needs another tool like this. I didn't see any differentiation from anyone else. What would catch my attention is "import my AWS infra" or "clean up my AWS mess".
I encountered quite a few projects where a semi-technical person started doing something on AWS, got it to a point where it needs an engineer, I come in and inherit "the mess". Then I spend countless hours untangling it.
Terraform has a half-baked import function, but a semi-technical person is not going to use TF. That can be your opportunity. If you could get the current set up out of AWS, import it into your tool and then let me maintain it in a clean and manageable state I'd totally use it for my clients. Making this feature your main value prop can be a great differentiated factor.
Sorry for being a wet blanket. Feel free to do the same to my https://www.indiehackers.com/product/open-directory-of-software-developers :)
Seriously, your feedback positive or negative would be very helpful.
What are some other tools that you know of? I really appreciate feedback like this because it let you know if your idea is good/bad, and how you could improve it and your feedback is really helpful. We current use terraform and is something we are looking into. It will be something that is easy to use with stuffs that could be exposed to more technical users. Are there any channel I might be able to contact you at? Love to get your opinion on this.
Just viewed https://stackmuncher.com/. Initial thoughts from what I gather by glancing through the web. It is a job portal for developers that uses Github as their resume. Cool idea. If this is what you're doing, and thinking from a recruiter's perpective, I can't tell how good the developers is by looking at file counts, line of codes. Clicking individual repos takes too much effort and recruiters don't have time for that. You have too many tags on the right most of them don't add a lot of value e.g. _ future _, that's probably in all python repos.
I think what would be good is if they could add a short description about themselves, maybe you could just pull from their github profile because this makes it a lot clearer that they are Github profiles because it looks like a repository name when glancing through.
