Founder, IndieAppCircle
Luis Krin
Solo developer building IndieAppCircle, a peer-to-peer testing circle where indie developers test each other's apps.
Why this site exists
Every indie developer hits the same wall: the app is built, it works on your machine, and you have no idea whether a stranger can figure it out. Friends are too polite, and the places that promise testers mostly hand you an email list or a head count.
IndieAppCircle is the smallest thing that fixes that. You test somebody else's app and write up what you found. That earns credits. You spend those credits to get your own app tested the same way, by people who build things too and know which parts of a first session actually matter. No audience required, no budget required.
What I write about
The guides on this site come out of running the exchange and reading what testers actually report back. They are about finding testers, getting feedback worth acting on, and the unglamorous parts of a launch.
