Thoughts on indie creations, AI workflows, and building in public.
AI agents waste 30k-120k tokens building things that already exist. We built 5 features to make IndieStack the first place agents check before writing code.
Indie developers can now sell their tools directly on IndieStack. 5% platform fee, Stripe payouts to your bank, and a curated audience of developers who want alternatives to big SaaS.
A real comparison: 47,000 tokens and three hours of back-and-forth versus 700 tokens and four minutes. The MCP server that makes the difference.
No React. No Vue. No build step. Just Python f-strings, SQLite with WAL mode, and a single Fly.io machine serving 100+ tools.
Every day, developers burn thousands of tokens asking AI to build invoicing, analytics, and feedback widgets from scratch — when battle-tested indie creations already exist.
