Ask HN: How to tap the demand for indie developers?
1 point by PeterHuber on Aug 29, 2024 | hide | past | favorite | 4 comments
As an indie developer, what channels do you have to find your needs? As a new person, I am still confused, and I am also an unemployed person with ample time. My technical ability is still OK, but I do not know what to do. How to get started?


It's not you. The software dev labor market is still terrible right now, with layoffs continuing and hordes of experienced ex-FAANG people flooding all the newcomers out in a race to the bottom :(

Sorry, man, just hang in there and maybe do some other work in the meantime and hope it recovers at some point... everyone I know is having a really hard time finding dev work, with or without experience.


Indeed, it's hard for programmers to find jobs these days, so I wanted to do something on my own.


I'm not sure what you're asking for. Are you looking for projects to work on? Are you looking for a job?


I want to do independent development and do some SaaS software that can meet the needs of some people. I want to support myself.
