Knowledge that stays useful.
IndieWiki is a practical, contributor-maintained knowledge base for people building independent products: solo founders, indie hackers, and small teams.
Built as a wiki, not a brochure
The GitHub repository is the source of truth. Articles are plain Markdown with structured metadata. A static build turns those files into the searchable website, so contributions can arrive through familiar issues and pull requests.
How an article gets made
Pick a specific problem a builder needs to solve.
Trace claims and note dates, context, and gaps.
Turn research into steps a reader can adapt.
Suggest corrections or additions in GitHub.
Evidence is part of the page
Articles distinguish source-backed facts, recommendations, experience, and open questions. Volatile details need a check date. A page's confidence label describes the support available, not a guarantee that it applies to every situation.
Contribute
Small corrections are welcome. For a new guide, propose the reader question and source trail. Read the contribution guide and source policy.
