@katerina_kurshina the image thumbnails are automated, I have a small puppeteer script, that runs after a product gets approved, which is responsible to screenshot the website and generate a thumbnail. I have been improving this script by, for example, trying to close any cookie banners before taking a screenshot, or properly waiting for all the JS to load. But you are right, some still come out a little sloppy. Maybe I'll add the option to upload a custom thumbnail if the automated one comes out with some issues. Anyway, I'm grateful for your upvote! π Thanks for the support! π
@diogocapela Cool idea, I hope it levels the playing field for indie makers and help them reach their audiences. Also, I'm curious which team size you counsider "indie makers".
@maya_ovice thanks! π That's indeed a very difficult question, I think it goes into some kind of grey area. Sometimes is not that easy to label something as indie or not.
Congratulations on the Diogo. Your project would potentially provide exposure to often an under-appreciated community of IndieHackers. All the very best.
@jareer_samad thank you! π That is the main objective indeed: to help indie makers get exposure on their projects!
@brentobox thanks! π It is awesome indeed! Actually, I got really surprised when I realized the domain was free and without any premium pricing on it
@sina_sadegh thanks! π You are one of the few who probably still remember some of the old versions of this product! Ahah
