Day 2: building the new HackerNews for IndieHackers: 174 users 97 posts 12k+ views in 7 days.

A look back at the last 24 hours: No view on the first post here No publication for direct promotion, but some return in dm via reddit and X. Gotta keep the growth momentum going.

Suggestions welcome.

I've decided to share my advances here daily about creating a platform for solopreneurs, indiehackers, builders.

What's it all about? Dailypings. It's like the new HackerNews for indiehackers.

Stats: In 7 days, 10,700 views.

Updates from the last 24 hours: - Huge influence of people and over 100 more subscribers thanks to a Reddit post that went viral.

Failure: - I publish on X too, no success yet. Community difficult to reach and especially to make react, each one is concentrated on its own project and is not interested in the others.

I'd love some suggestions, I was able to fix a lot of little bugs after the big wave of new users, it's cool to get feedback.

Thank you so much for this amazing feedback! These are exactly the kind of features I want to build.

I'll be working on implementing all of these points and will share regular updates on the progress.

Really appreciate your thoughtful suggestions

I've added real-time GitHub trends tracking to DailyPings, our developer community platform focused on building in public.

The new feature: - Tracks top 30 repositories by stars and forks - Updates hourly

DailyPings is like HN but specifically designed for developers sharing their building journey. We combine project updates, technical discussions, and now, trending GitHub projects.

Hey everyone,

I’m excited to share something I’ve been working on for months: dmain.name, a free web app for domain enthusiasts!

What does it do? Showcase your domains with a sleek, personalized portfolio (bio, links, socials, etc.). Verify ownership in seconds with DNS check. Earn Pulse (like GitHub stars) for your domains. Compete on the leaderboard for top domains and owners.

It’s built for indie hackers, developers, domain collectors, and anyone passionate about domain names. Whether you have 5 or 500, dmain.name helps you show them off professionally.

It’s 100% free to use, and I’d love for you to give it a try! If you do, I’d really appreciate your feedback—it would mean a lot.

Check it out here and let me know what you think!

Thanks for taking a look!
