Keep yourself accountable on your indie projects

Hacker News

Hey HN! I’m excited to share JustLog, a platform I created to help indie devs (like me) share project updates, engage users, and stay motivated through gamification and social interactions. Why did I build this? As an indie dev, I often struggled to share updates and stay accountable. JustLog helps me track my journey, share progress with users, and stay motivated with achievements and a leaderboard. It’s also great for sharing system updates with clients in a fun, engaging way. With JustLog, you can write updates in Markdown, customize your page with a custom domain and your own logo, earn achievements, and track progress on the leaderboard. Who’s it for? Indie devs, makers, and game devs who want a lightweight, fun way to share updates and grow their projects. I’d love your thoughts! Would these features solve a problem for you? If you're an indie dev, what keeps you from sharing regular updates? Do you see any creative use cases for JustLog beyond indie projects?
