About
A catalog built for builders, not bookmark collectors
What IndieBoot is
IndieBoot is a curated catalog of tools, stacks and concepts for indie hackers and bootstrappers. It exists to solve one problem: picking tools when you have limited time and limited money. Every category is scoped to the decisions a small team actually faces — hosting, billing, analytics, email delivery — instead of an endless feed of logos.
Who runs it
IndieBoot is independently built and maintained by Javier Altez . It is a single-editor project: one person curates listings, verifies pricing, and keeps the glossary honest. That is also why the catalog stays small on purpose — every entry has to earn its place.
What you will find here
- A directory of curated tools, grouped by the problem they solve, with pricing, open-source status, and platform details.
- A glossary of the acronyms and metrics indie builders run into — MRR, churn, LTV, CAC and friends — written without jargon.
- Free calculators built on those glossary formulas, so a definition can turn into a number in seconds.
- Example stacks showing what a realistic indie stack looks like and what it costs per month.
How it stays useful
Listings carry a "last verified" date, pricing is re-checked on a rolling basis, and tools that die or pivot get removed. The rules behind all of this are public: read the editorial policy.
