StarterStack

Underwhelming #'s but hey ok...it's not 0. My simple no-fluff launch page builder for indie hackers works. It proved to me that I can take an idea, create a page with built-in waitlist, email capture and analytics...then launch it quickly.

While these are not great numbers by a long shot....I got some visitors, captured the data and reported on it. My concept works. I will take that as a small win. Now, getting a beta waitlist sign up will be even better.

Onward!

Waitlist is live!
StarterStack is a simple, no-fluff launch page builder built for indie hackers validating new ideas.

I am looking for at least 10 beta users to try this out, provide feedback and get in on the shape of this tool.

✅ AIDA-style page format
✅ Built-in analytics (visits, conversions, clicks)
✅ Email capture
✅ No integrations
✅ Free during beta

https://www.starterstack.io

Visitors can now submit emails directly on the launch page...no external forms or integrations.

Goal: Make idea validation fast + frictionless for indie hackers.

Beta invites soon!

My StarterStack build journey continues: simple, no-fluff launch pages for validating SaaS ideas.

I find GA too heavy and confusing for my needs. At this stage of validation I want simple metrics so I built this in natively.

Now, each launch page tracks visits, CTA clicks & conversion rate — no GA or setup needed. Super simple! I am happy with it.

Next up: waitlist form.

Just added a built-in AIDA framework to StarterStack 🚀

Now every launch page starts with:
→ Attention
→ Interest
→ Desire
→ Action

No need to figure out structure from scratch — just fill in the blanks and tweak as needed.

The goal: help indie hackers go from idea → launch → feedback, faster.

Next: working on the metrics dashboard (visits, clicks, conversion rate — no integrations needed).

Now you can turn sections (like Hero, Features, FAQ) on/off and update your launch page content in real time.

Simple and fast ...no distractions, just what you need to validate.

Next up: smart templates using the AIDA framework so you're never starting with a blank page.

Quick Day 1 update on StarterStack, my simple, no-fluff launch page builder for indie hackers validating SaaS ideas.

Today I wired up the login system:
✅ Email/password
✅ Google
✅ GitHub

I wanted login to be dead-simple...no friction when someone just wants to test an idea fast.
Next up: building out the content section editor.

I used nuxt-auth-utils which is pretty straight forward, flexible and handles many OAuth providers. Let me know how you're handling auth in your own projects or if you've hit similar friction with bloated tools.

Hey IndieHackers 👋

I got tired of how bloated and overcomplicated landing page tools have gotten. Especially when all I wanted was a quick way to validate an idea.

Everything felt too heavy.
Too many features I didn’t need.
Forms that needed to be duct-taped to Google Sheets.
Using Google Analytics was overcomplicated.
And somehow I was still paying $29/mo… with nothing live.

So I started building something for myself.

A simple launch page builder made for indie hackers:
→ Email capture for waitlists
→ Built-in analytics (visits, clicks, conversion rate)
→ Free unless your page is actually live

No integrations, no nonsense....just ship a page and test the idea.

I’ll be using it to launch itself and sharing the progress as I go.
Hoping to get a few early beta users on board soon.

I will be posting my journey here. Follow along...

Drop any questions, feedback, or similar pain points. I’d love to hear what’s worked (or hasn’t) for you.
