My Journey as an Indie Hacker

1. Google Sheets Addon: The Starting Point

My first product was a Google Sheets addon. This early project focused on enhancing productivity by simplifying data management tasks within Google Sheets. It laid the foundation for my technical skills and taught me the importance of user-friendly design and seamless integration with existing tools. The success of this addon fueled my passion for building more impactful products.

2. Salesprompter: Personalized LinkedIn Outreach

Next, I developed Salesprompter, a Chrome extension that helps users craft personalized LinkedIn messages. This tool was designed to elevate sales outreach by providing AI-generated message prompts tailored to each recipient. Salesprompter was my introduction to browser extension development and marked my first use of AI to improve professional workflows.

3. GPTs for Lead Generation and Cold Email Outreach

Building on the momentum, I moved into creating GPTs for lead generation and cold email outreach sequence generation. These tools leveraged advanced AI to assist users in crafting personalized outreach sequences and generating leads efficiently. This step represented a significant leap in my use of AI, showcasing its potential to automate and enhance critical business processes.

4. Roastli: Humor Meets Insightful LinkedIn Analysis

With experience in crafting professional outreach and automation tools, I launched Roastli. This product brought a playful approach to LinkedIn profile analysis by using AI to create witty, insightful commentary on users' profiles. Roastli, built with Next.js 15 and TypeScript and hosted on Vercel, was well-received for making LinkedIn analysis both fun and informative.

5. Prospectli: AI-Powered Insights for Sales Teams

The next logical step was Prospectli, a tool designed to provide sales teams with AI-powered insights into LinkedIn profiles for better lead qualification. Prospectli built on the knowledge gained from previous projects and offered a comprehensive solution for B2B sales, focusing on delivering valuable data-driven insights to enhance sales strategies.
