If Indiehackers would not be such a bad website. It could be a really nice website, but somebody thought it should be an app and it sucks.

That was me. If I could go back in time 3.5 years and make a different decision, I would! Unfortunately I don't have time to do a full rewrite today. (I'm the only developer/designer on IH.) But I do try to make regular incremental improvements around performance.

Csallen. I love the site. I understand you’re the only dev /designer. Why not open source the GitHub repo so others can send pull requests and make it better.

FWIW. I visit your site every day and look at the top posts.

You’ve probably single handedly created a community of people who go solo and build profitable things.

I remember YC refraining from funding solo founders. It turns out there are 1000s of solo profitable businesses and you don’t need to go YC route. Thanks for giving me that confidence.

You’d probably rebuilt it from the ground up as the architecture seems to be the problem. That’s not something a community could easily do without some kind of leadership. That would still take up a lot of his time, probably more than just doing it alone.

I’d guess it’s not just merging a few pull request and it’s suddenly fast.

Sure the tech isn't great, but you've made a really great community with great content. You shouldn't be ashamed of choices at all - tech doesn't have to be perfect to deliver on its goals.

IndieHackers is a great resource. It serves its purpose very well and built a great community. That is all that matters.

The community and content is great. Outsource some of the work?

I really dont know what happened with the redesign, the original site was fine. Then they did this "fancy" redesign and it sucks so much that it limits my visit and time spent there despite the content which it can be pretty good. It is honestly baffling.

I wish there was a way to connect both PayPal and Stripe revenue, as we make about half our revenue through each of these payments processors. I can imagine a lot of other companies are in similar situations.

Stripe bought IndieHackers so I don't think this feature is in the roadmap.

I'll probably add PayPal eventually. Just a matter of finding the time! There's nobody at Stripe telling me not to, nor did anyone at Stripe suggest I add Stripe-verified revenue in the first place.

Just need Stripe to buy Paypal.

Happy to create such a feature for you :) Just to clarify, what exactly are you looking for, just a "revenue verified" badge, or a Baremetrics-like dashboard with Paypal support?

We recently added support to one of our projects to use Stripe out-of-band invoices, and pay these invoices using Paypal/Braintree

The Stripe verification is what sets IndieHackers apart from all the other similar sites

What happens if you have revenue from other sources? Most of my large customers prefer not to use Stripe, and due to Stripe's fees, I prefer to avoid it also. My largest payments are all ACH or paper check.

That link is broken for me.

It does not show anything with a revenue higher than $0 by default. In order to get it working, I need to turn off "verified by stripe" and then turn it back on again.

You can also click "Sort By", then "Revenue: High to Low". That seems to refresh the result

Revenue is not the same as profit.

If you click on the links on Profit Hunt you see that they mostly link to posts saying “revenue”.
