Here's a link to the author's project: https://pagefactory.app/ For an indie hacker project that you're doing for passion, you really have to pick something that connects with the dreams of people. Especially if the thing is a tool that empowers ordinary people. No one dreams about how much better the web will be with lots of auto-generated content. In order to sell something like that, you'd have to do a YouTube hustle talking about how rich you got doing it, and how rich you can get too if you buy the product. A bunch of people have been doing that lately encouraging people to submit ChatGPT generated articles to publications that pay for content, and a lot of those organizations are now shutting down their open submissions due to the avalanche of low-effort content.

Author here - There may have been a misunderstanding. Fantasy Congress was my passion project. PageFactory is my attempt at a B2B SaaS.

Also, my product does not provide any AI services.

I don’t really see the “indie” connection then, frankly. It’s an app for churning out wordy, SEO optimized articles, right? I feel like you may have picked the wrong platform to brag about that achievement, most people on HN don’t have great things to say about the way SEO driven tools like that have changed the web.

EDIT: The demo on the site being 2min of time to churn out an entire website’s worth of content. I weep for what tools like this have allowed the web to become. You have the furthest thing from my support, I’m sorry.

It's indie because she built the product independently.
