Ask HN: Can I make you an admin dashboard for your side project?
I'm working on a service for making/hosting simple admin web dashboards. I'd love beta testers. If I can help myself out by helping you out, I'd be very appreciative. Leave a comment, or my email is in my bio!
Edit: added admin
An open Ask HN community consultation from 2020 where @groundpepper convened hundreds of developers and bootstrappers to share real experiences, hard numbers, and tactics.
Core Principles for Independent Builders:
Participants share raw revenue figures, churn rates, and stack decisions that corporate PR never publishes.
Recurring answers reveal that distribution, not coding skill, is almost universally the rate-limiting step in developer businesses.
Practical recommendations on bookkeeping, payment gateways (Stripe vs Paddle), and freelance-to-product transitions.
Community Debate Themes:
Hundreds of active indie hackers contributed case studies, pricing heuristics, and pitfalls to avoid when moonlighting on side projects.

Hi, please let me know. I would also like to learn about this sort of thing myself.
There are tons of dashboards and side projects, can you be more precise?
Can you post some examples? What do these dashboards look like?
What kind of dashboards - monitoring, business intelligence?
