DEVAE for indie hackers
DEVAE is where indie hackers build in public, get real feedback from developers, pair in live rooms and match with a technical or design co-founder. Free in open beta.
Building in public works because other builders hold you to it. DEVAE turns that into a habit: post what you shipped today, what broke, what the conversion number did. The feed is tuned to your stack, so the people reacting are developers who have shipped the same thing, not an audience you have to perform for.
The second thing DEVAE does for indie hackers is fix the co-founder problem. You tell matchmaking what you are building and what you are missing, and it pairs you on complementary skills, time zone and commitment level. Then you talk it through in a live room, with screens shared, before anyone commits to anything.
What indie hackers use DEVAE for
A build-in-public feed that talks back
Day 30 of building in public gets replies from people who are on day 200. Ask for a review, a roast or a beta tester and get it from developers.
Learn more →Co-founder matching
Complementary skills, shared ambition, compatible hours. Match, then meet in a room before deciding anything.
Learn more →Pair on the hard part
Open a room, share your terminal and let someone who has done payments or auth before watch you wire it up.
Learn more →Weekend challenges and hackathons
When you need a forcing function, join a weekend build. Ship something small, post it, get feedback by Monday.
Learn more →Snippets for the boring parts
Share the rate limiter, the webhook handler, the cron job. Fork the ones other builders share.
Learn more →A profile that is a changelog
Every project post lands on your profile. Investors, users and future co-founders can see the trajectory.
Learn more →Open a room from your terminal
Install the CLI once, then pairing is a single command from the project directory. Screen and terminal are shared with whoever you invite.
