Curated external tools · Founder community
All seven tools here are third-party and free. The two feeds are the easiest way to follow new posts, but one is run by an individual and its post endpoint returned a server error on 5 November 2026. Skip the scraper unless you have read the site's terms. [1] [3]
Add Omnitwine as a preferred source on Google| Tool | What it does | Price (what's free) | Best for | The catch |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Indie Hackers unofficial feed | RSS, Atom and JSON feeds of posts: the main feed, top posts by week, month or year, search, and per-user feeds | Free; no price stated | Following new posts in a feed reader | Run by an individual, not Indie Hackers; the post feed returned a server error on 5 Nov 2026[1] |
| ihrss, open source | Feeds of the latest and most popular stories, by category, group and time period, refreshed every 10 minutes | Free to use; code is MIT licensed; no hosted price stated | Readers who want top stories, or a developer who wants to self-host | Feeds lag by up to 10 minutes; the hosted site returned a 404 on 5 Nov 2026[2] |
| Browse AI post scraper | A no-code robot that reads public listing pages and extracts title, author, upvotes, comments, date, tag and URL | Free for one website, no card; runs allowance not stated | Tracking topics or post performance over time | Scraping; the vendor page does not address Indie Hackers' terms[3] |
| ShowMRR milestone cards | Makes shareable milestone images from your revenue and date, sized for X, LinkedIn and Instagram | Free with no account or limits; ad-supported; watermark can be turned off | Founders posting a first customer, $1K MRR or a launch day | Not built for Indie Hackers; you type in figures and nothing syncs[4] |
| Indie Hackers - No Link Posts (Chrome) | Hides link posts so the feed shows only posts written on the site | No price shown on the store listing | Readers who want only on-site posts | Last updated June 2022, with no ratings; does not change what you post[5] |
| IndieHackers Related Articles (Chrome) | Shows related articles while you read a post | Free; the developer says it collects no data | Readers who want more on the topic they are reading | Last updated June 2022, with 3 users; may not run on every post URL[6] |
| IndieHackers Light Theme (Chrome) | Adds a light mode to the site; one click switches a tab back to dark for that session | Free; MIT licensed | Readers who prefer light mode | Posted June 2020 with 3 commits and no update date since[7] |
The unofficial feed gives you RSS, Atom and JSON versions of the main feed, top posts by week, month or year, and a search. It also filters out link posts. One individual maintains it, and Indie Hackers does not. Its post endpoint returned a server error on 5 November 2026, so subscribe only after the feed loads in your reader. [1]
If that feed fails, ihrss offers the same kind of feed for top and newest stories, refreshed every 10 minutes. Expect posts to appear up to ten minutes late. Its hosted site returned a 404 on 5 November 2026, so the self-hosted route is the only one you can count on. That route needs a Cloudflare Worker and some setup. [2]
IndieHackers Related Articles suggests more posts on the topic you are reading. Its listing gives two URL patterns, so it may not appear on every post page. The developer says it collects no data. With 3 users and no ratings, it has had little testing, so open a few posts before you rely on it. [6]
Indie Hackers - No Link Posts hides link posts from the feed, so you see only what members write on the site. It does not change your own posting, and the store listing shows no price. [5]
The light theme is a small MIT-licensed project with three commits, first posted in June 2020. Click its icon to switch a tab back to dark for that session. Install it only if you prefer light mode. [7]
Browse AI's post scraper copies titles, authors, upvotes, comments, dates and topic tags from public listing pages into a table. The free account covers one website and needs no card, so test a single listing page first. The vendor page does not state how many runs that allows. [3]
Scraping can break a site's terms of use, and the vendor page says nothing about Indie Hackers' rules. Read those terms before you schedule any runs. If you only want to read the feed, skip the scraper: the feeds above cover that without it. [3]
ShowMRR makes images for milestones such as a first paying customer, $1K MRR, $10K MRR, $1M ARR and launch day. You type in the revenue and date. Nothing syncs from your payment provider, and the card is sized for X, LinkedIn and Instagram. Use it if you post milestones and want a consistent card. Skip it if you want revenue pulled in automatically. [4]
The tool is free with no account or limits, and it shows ads. Its watermark can be turned off. The site also promotes a sister product, 1MinEbook. [4]
Start with the feed that loads for you, and add one Chrome extension to see whether it helps. Use the free guides for sign-up and posting steps, and read the community's own tips before you post. Skip the scraper unless you have read the site's terms and have a specific question to answer.
