SpawnRadar was a creator discovery and outreach SaaS for indie game developers.
I am shutting it down as a business and keeping this repository as a product and engineering showcase.
- Creator discovery and outreach workflow for indie game developers.
- Matching flow using game metadata, tags, and free-text summaries.
- Payments, auth, email, API integrations, data ingestion, and internal workflow tooling.
- Around 35 people tried it.
- 0 paying customers.
- Positive feedback, but no meaningful retention.
- A pain point can be real without being strong enough to support a self-serve SaaS.
- Indie devs may agree with the workflow idea and still not adopt another tool.
- Low-budget, skeptical users often need more hand-holding than a solo founder can provide cheaply.
