That's so true! If I heard Trello Power-ups, I will definitely give it a go. Actually for Backlogs, some features are already taken from IndieLog, like the upvote and commenting. I just implemented the roadmap boards and the changelog

Totally agree!

You are right! We may spend days and hours on triaging some bug, but it only needs one-line change. The researching and investigation are more valuable than the final deliverable! For me, I will basically say anything from getting the idea,

Would like to see if we can bring the live streaming and code sharing to our platform! Wow, you just opened up some hidden potential to IndieLog. Thanks!

Haha, you made my day Chris! This issue bothers for quite a long time, and I just didn't know how to fix it. In fact, I thought this is just some css issue, and didn't affect the functionality, so didn't invest too much time

Yes, we kinda have that feature, but in a different way. As most of our members are bootstrapping their own product. Any video if it is related to a particular product, it can be attached to the product. Like our member David creates a prod

Hmm, I think that would be cool to have. Indeed some of our members are Youtubers as well. It would be a duplicate effort for them to upload the same thing on IndieLog. Thanks for sharing this idea. I will definitely see how I can make it w

Indeed! We are like virtual colleagues, help each other out, cheer for any achievement, and grow ourselves and our products together.

haha thanks! It's the first time I heard someone described in this way (justin.tv + github). The platform is still very young, 4 months old. I am trying to bring more features into it. Audio update is the next thing.

Haha, do it, it's going to be fun!

Thank you Joseph! It feels amazing to build a niche community out of nothing. Also it's interesting to see most of our members never did vlog before. But they still love to share their updates on IndieLog. I think it's because peo

Hey Nicholas, thanks! Yes, the world is becoming more virtually. Video content definitely has lots of potentials to release.

Yes, 2 minutes is like a standup update. Our members also think the limit is very helpful to keep them concise. A good way to practice speak in some sense. The best thing so far is definitely making lots of friends around the world. We can

This is such a great idea lukevp!!! I will consider to have those featured ones.

I started to build IndieLog (formerly Lonely Dev) since the lockdown to fix my own problem. The other project Backlogs is like a by-product while building IndieLog. I never did something like this, putting myself in the public. It sounds sc

I know people will ask this question :) I have considered Canny honestly. Great product, awesome founders! But the pricing is not that friendly for bootstrappers like me. Backlogs offers generous free plan for developers, which we all like.

Hi raybb, glad to hear you like it! A few months ago, I was building a community indielog.com. I received lots of feedback (feature/bug). They went into my email, twitter DMs, etc. I just thought it would be nicer to have a single plac

You are totally right, will have that soon!

Hmm, it's only for my community lonely.dev. No plan to modularize it to sell, it is just a fancy tool to serve our community better so that people can send more personalized responses, and have more human interactions.

Right, I already have the comment voting in mind, and I will add that feature soon! Also, thanks for bringing up the reporting option, by having that our community could help together on doing the moderating. Such a good suggestion! Thanks

Hey, this is Damon, initiator of Lonely Dev here! This community was born in the quarantine period of Covid-19. Lots of people are working from home. Previous IRL social interactions are gone temporarily. That makes me to build a community
