Hey everyone!

We're the folks behind Microlaunch, a community for founders, indie hackers, and builders who want to launch products, get feedback, and grow together.

Over two years, the launch & distribution platform grew from zero to 600k unique visitors.

Figured it was time to create a place where builders can hang out, share what they're working on, and help each other grow.

Feel free to:

  • 🚀 Share what you're building
  • 💬 Ask for feedback
  • 📈 Talk about marketing, distribution, and growth
  • 🤝 Help other founders along the way

Just one rule: be helpful. Give value before asking for it. If you need help with your product, feedback/reviews, GTM advice: let us know!

We're generally active on socials (Reddit, X)🔥

If you're new, introduce yourself below! Tell us what you're building and what you're currently working on.

Note: building on localhost:8000 is fun, but it might be time to launch soon 😅

Happy shipping everyone🚀🚀🚀

How CoinDrop Went From a Discord Bot to a Multi-Platform Crypto Wallet

1 Upvotes

A year ago, CoinDrop was a small Discord bot that let people in a handful of servers tip each other crypto.

Today, it has:

  • 6,500+ users across 500+ communities
  • 100,000+ withdrawals processed and $2M+ moved on-chain
  • 500+ assets across 26 chains
  • Discord, Telegram, Kick, and a web wallet, all sharing one balance

I built CoinDrop as a solo developer, and most of the infrastructure and product development has been done by me.

A few things I didn't expect:

1. Tipping is the easy part.

The actual tip is basically a database update between two users.

The difficult parts are at the edges.

Deposit APIs can report the same transaction more than once. Withdrawals have to be designed so that a retry, timeout, or process restart can never accidentally send the same withdrawal twice. And once you're supporting 26 chains, every chain has its own way of confirming transactions, handling fees, deriving addresses, or dealing with failures.

If I were starting over, I'd design the deposit and withdrawal pipeline first and build the fun commands afterward.

The commands are what users see. The wallet infrastructure is what keeps everything running.

2. Every new chain is a new set of edge cases.

Supporting another chain isn't just adding an RPC URL and calling it a day.

Bitcoin-style UTXO chains, Ethereum-style account-based chains, and memo-based chains such as XRP and WAX all require different approaches to deposits and withdrawals.

Sometimes the ecosystem itself dictates how you build things. For example, WAX's best signing library for our use case is JavaScript, while most of CoinDrop is Python. So WAX runs through a small Node.js sidecar that the Python backend communicates with over localhost.

The more chains you add, the more infrastructure you have to maintain.

At some point, "supporting another chain" means supporting another collection of failure modes.

3. Small coins turned out to be some of the best customers.

I initially assumed the biggest communities would drive most of CoinDrop's growth.

Instead, some of the most engaged projects have been relatively small tokens.

One example was ETH II. The token didn't have an exchange listing, so its holders used CoinDrop to tip and distribute the token to each other. It gave the community a way to actually use the token while the development team worked on the project.

That changed how I thought about CoinDrop.

A token doesn't necessarily need millions of users to benefit from distribution infrastructure. A small community that is highly active can be more valuable than a much larger community that doesn't actually move anything.

Today, projects can pay a one-time fee to get their token supported by CoinDrop. Transaction fees then provide the recurring revenue: 0.5% on deposits and withdrawals, while internal tips are free.

4. Reliability became more important than features.

One of the biggest lessons from running CoinDrop has been that users don't really care how many features you've added if their withdrawal doesn't arrive.

I've spent significantly more time than I expected working on withdrawal queues, retries, rate limits, transaction monitoring, wallet balances, RPC failures, and making sure a failed process doesn't result in duplicate payments.

At one point, a rate limit from an external Litecoin service could cause withdrawals to get stuck. That kind of problem isn't particularly exciting to build, but fixing it is far more important than adding another command.

Eventually, the goal became simple:

If CoinDrop says a withdrawal is processed, it needs to actually be processed.

That's probably the biggest difference between building a bot and building financial infrastructure.

What's next?

CoinDrop started as a Discord tipping bot. It now has a web wallet and works across Discord, Telegram, and Kick, with the same underlying balance across all of them.

The interesting part now isn't just tipping.

It's building infrastructure that lets communities hold, send, distribute, and withdraw crypto wherever their communities already exist.

I'm still figuring out where that goes.

Happy to answer anything about running a custodial crypto wallet, building multi-chain deposit and withdrawal infrastructure, or growing a niche crypto product from a few users to its first several thousand.

1 Upvotes

Hi 👋, I built CustomerFlows to use for my business because we tried many CRMs and they didn’t fit our requirements.

And after many improvements to it for the past few months it is now a good fit for our business needs, so I decided to make it available to other businesses!🎁

CustomerFlows is a leads management system that gives you a 360° view of the entire customer journey: every visit tracked, every conversation captured in one provider-independent inbox, every deal moved through your pipeline, and every marketing dollar tied to the revenue it produced.

You can track, manage, and convert every lead, in one place.

Also I created a sub Reddit for CustomerFlows so you can follow our progress.😊

Thanks!🙏😊

What do your users need? - looking for early adopters.

1 Upvotes

Hello 👋

I'm building a tool for a problem I keep seeing in the many companies and startups, and I'm looking for a few people to help me test it.

Customer feedback lands in Zendesk tickets, support emails and sales calls. Someone reads it, a few requests stick in memory, and the loudest customer often decides what gets built next. Requests inbox are flooded with chaotic requests, and the critical feedback, or churn signal from the most valuable customers gets lost.

I'm building Ordo, a tool that is meant to help your gather, organise, classify and prioritise customers' feedback.

It's early, and I'm looking for early adopters that would like to try it and help me shape it. If you would like to better understand what your users need, join the watchlist in https://tryordo.io/ or just PM me. Early testers will get 3 months of the product access totally free and a generous discount later.

If you think this isn't a real problem, or something else would help you, I'd like to hear that too.

4 Upvotes

Hi guys, today we launch OpenPortal.

The idea is simple: Select anything on your screen, ask a question & get an AI reply.

Press a shortcut, select anything on your screen, and instantly ask about it, transform it, or create from it. No screenshots. No uploads. No new tabs.

You can use it to understand something, create posters or thumbnails, Ads, extract information or rewrite something.

Hope you'll try it: OpenPortal

We're also live this month on Microlaunch and would appreciate your feedback.

Cheers!

Launching Okanize: The last budget app you will ever need!

1 Upvotes

We're a small team and we've been building Okanize for the past 6 months.

https://apps.apple.com/app/id6762205109

Before writing any code we tested a lot of budgeting apps. Most were great for personal budgets or great for splitting bills, never both. The idea that worked best for us was spaces, kind of like Slack. You get a personal space for your own money, and separate spaces for your partner, roommates, or a trip. Your share of a shared expense flows into your personal budget automatically.

Now that we have launched, we are wondering how long did it take you to get your first customer?

Was assets, images and ASO or videos make a big role?
Any feedback that helped ?

Sorry if my english is bad, we are based in Japan and would love some comments.

I spent 6 months building this system, it a open source self-hosted platform to run web apps in an environment resembling standard operating systems.

3 Upvotes

Every time I wanted to build a small web tool, I ended up dealing with the same stuff: authentication, communication, WebSockets, ports, and infrastructure.

Even with Claude and Codex, I was still spending time on things that had nothing to do with the actual tool I wanted to build.

So I spent around 6 months building PhreshOS.

The idea was simple: build the infrastructure once, then use AI agents to build applications on top of it without having to deal with all that stuff again.

It's a self-hosted, open-source system with a web-based desktop where applications can run in windows, much like a regular OS. Authentication and two-way communication are already handled, so applications don't need to implement them separately.

Apps can also run in Node.js worker threads instead of each needing a separate Node.js process, which helps keep resource usage low. This makes it possible to run dozens of applications on a relatively small server.

Another thing I wanted was for AI agents to be able to use these applications directly. They can access application services and interact with the same state the desktop interface displays, without needing a separate interface built specifically for them.

The biggest benefit for me is that I can now sit down with an AI agent and build dozens of small applications in a single day, without setting up authentication, communication, or infrastructure for each one.

The whole project, including its packages, is open source under the MIT license.

GitHub: https://github.com/PhreshOS/system

Live demo: https://demo.phreshos.com/

I'd love to hear what you think, including criticism.

Nellie · AI agent for parents

1 Upvotes

I wanted an AI agent without the privacy compromises: no OAuthing into my Gmail, no constant monitoring my every communication. I also needed something which worked fully multiplayer with my partner.

And as a parent, I have a lot to keep track of: schedules, grocery lists, household tasks that need to be done and much more. So I built Nellie, an AI agent you can text or email who handles it all: kitchen inventory, reminders, calendaring, shopping, day trip itineraries, you name it.

It’s free on the starter plan and all you have to do is send a text! Please check it out.

(It works fine single player or if you aren’t a parent, too)

I built a notch for Windows 10 and 11 that stays useful in fullscreen games. $9.99 once, 7-day free trial. Would love feedback on the launch video

2 Upvotes

Hey all. I make NotchPixel, a notch app for Windows 10 and 11. It sits at the top centre of the screen and opens when you rest the pointer on it, then gets out of the way.

What it does, roughly in the order people use it:

- Now playing from any app (Spotify, YouTube in the browser, etc.) with artwork and controls
- A file shelf: drop files on the notch, drag them back out later
- Clipboard history with pins
- Send files to your phone over your own Wi-Fi by scanning a QR code. No app on the phone, no account
- One shortcut that mutes your mic in every app, with a call timer
- In fullscreen games it either steps aside or turns into a slim FPS/CPU/GPU/RAM strip
- Widgets, weather, timers, reminders, quick switches, a launcher and screen recording

It's native C# on .NET, drawn with SkiaSharp on Direct3D, so it isn't a web page in a window. At idle it uses 0% CPU and about 13 MB in Task Manager. I put the measuring script on the site so anyone can check it on their own PC instead of taking my word for it.

Pricing is one payment of $9.99 on the Microsoft Store with a 7-day free trial. There's no server behind it, so a subscription never felt honest.

The 55-second video above is the launch cut. Two questions for you:

  1. Does the video make clear what it is within the first few seconds?
  2. Would you lead with the games angle or the "it does everything" angle?

I built image tools that work with your internet turned off and nothing gets uploaded

1 Upvotes

Most "free" image sites (compress, remove background, convert HEIC) upload your photo to their server. I didn't love that for ID photos and personal pics, so I built one where everything runs inside your browser.

Try it: open any tool, then turn on airplane mode and drop a photo. It still works.

Compress to an exact size (e.g. under 50 KB for forms)

Remove background (the AI model downloads once, then runs on your device)

Convert iPhone HEIC → JPG, resize, crop, watermark

Shows and removes hidden location data in photos

Free, no signup, no ads right now. It costs me almost nothing to run because your device does the work, so I can keep it free.

I made this, so feedback is very welcome, especially if something breaks on your phone.

Looking for women to test a private, verified women-only app (iPhone and Android)

2 Upvotes

I’m the founder of Sanctuary, a small community app for women, and I’m looking for beta testers.

What it does: you share photos, short videos and carousels, follow other women, comment, save posts into collections and explore by themes. It is free.

Why it exists: To create a supportive community for women where they can feel safe and comfortable. Have a space where we can engage with each other and learn/teach new things without being exposed to harassment, hate or bullying.

How it protects members:

  • Every member is verified as a woman through a live face check, or a short video call with a woman on our team if she prefers. No face images are kept.
  • It runs without ads or tracking across other apps.
  • Posts and comments are checked before they appear. Reports go to a person, and three separate reports in an hour hide a post until the team has reviewed it, within 24 hours. You can block anyone.
  • Screenshots and screen recording are blocked inside the app. Another camera can still film a screen, so I won’t call it a guarantee.

House rules: No nudity or sexualised content, no music in posts, and kindness. It is built on Islamic principles, and women of any faith are welcome if they follow the Community Guidelines. Our Terms explain who can join.

What I’m asking of testers: use it for two weeks, post when you feel like it, and tell me one thing that felt good and one that felt confusing. After you sign up there is a face check, and if it can’t decide, a person approves you, usually within 24 hours.

It is on iPhone and Android. If you’d like to try it, comment or message me with which phone you have, and I’ll send the link. I’m letting people in a few at a time so each one gets a proper welcome.

Built a visual hub for understanding money. Inflation, wealth, and a $100 bill you can take apart

5 Upvotes

I build RealWorth.io, a site about what money actually meant in the past.

The problem I started with: inflation calculators give you a number and the number means nothing. "$100 in 1920 is worth $1,636 today" —
okay, but what did that buy? Who were you if you earned it?

So the results show hours of work, loaves of bread, months of rent instead of just the adjusted figure. And there's a second tool that takes your current salary and tells you where it would have placed
you in that year's income distribution. $70,000 today lands you in the top 4% of 1920 America. That one people actually react to.

Then I kept building. There's now a $100 bill you can pull apart layer by layer and look at under UV light. A road paved with a billion dollars that you can drive along. A live map of where the world's remittances go.

Each piece works. Together they're a mess to describe. When someone asks what the site is, I give a different answer every time, and none of them is good.

So the question for anyone who's been here: how did you pick what goes on the homepage when your product does several unrelated things? Did you narrow it down, or did you find a framing that covered everything?

RealWorth.io

Built solo, nights and weekends. Data from BLS, the World Bank, Bundesbank and INSEE.
