Hovercode | https://hovercode.com | REMOTE | Full-time or part-time | Full-stack developer

Hovercode is a QR code generator and analytics platform. We're a small, profitable company that's based in the UK and is trusted by tens of thousands worldwide. It's a pretty simple business compared to most on here and right now it's just me running it.

We're seeking a full-stack developer (mid level) who's language agnostic. Your primary focus will be improving our existing integrations and creating new ones. Integrations on our roadmap: Chrome, Figma, Airtable, Zapier, Make, and possibly more. If that works out, you will start to work on the core product, which is built with Django, Postgres and some Golang on the backend with mostly HTML, Alpine.js, HTMX, and vanilla JS on the front-end (and Tailwind).

Hovercode isn't a startup per se, but a small software business, so it's a calm working environment and part-time is an option. This makes it well suited to someone who wants more time and energy for life or to hack on their own projects etc.

Super interested on a part time basis. Would love to chat !


are applications closed?


Pretty surreal to see a clone of my product for sale on here

My product: https://feedbacklane.com

The clone: https://zeroacquire.com/simple-form/

I’m all for getting inspired by ideas, but such close copies feels wrong


That's not cool. I have removed the listing.


Thank you

Bookmarked your marketplace btw, love the idea


I work alone so don't get the chance to pair program, but I hear a lot of good things about tuple.app


I wonder if their “tuna” could be vegan in that case


One of the hosts of this podcast (https://softwaresocial.dev/) is building a file upload widget and is getting most of their early trials from the Heroku marketplace. Worth a listen and maybe even reaching out to compare experiences


This site is where the term came from: https://www.indiehackers.com/

People define it differently, but generally I think of indie hackers as people, usually technical, who are building or are aiming to build smaller tech businesses. They generally either bootstrap or raise small amounts of money. A lot of indie hackers are would be happy with a business that makes 5-10k USD per month per founder


I don’t think I see what you mean here. Where am I selling a list of business models?


I guess the interpreted the "opportunity" as "build a marketplace like these ones" instead of "those are marketplaces you can list your product on"?


There could be categories of things people want without many solutions in some marketplaces. For example, in the Hubspot marketplace, there are many WhatsApp widgets in their marketplace. Someone made one for the Pipedrive marketplace and it’s doing very well. There would be similar missing apps for Pipedrive, or there would be other platforms where a WhatsApp widget could do well.


This! It isn't hard to look at what is successful in, say, the Salesforce App Exchange and apply that concept for HubSpot. Huge opportunity there.


https://pageflows.com has been paying my bills for a couple of years now

To give you an idea of revenue, it’s about as much as I’d be getting paid as a junior-mid developer in London and requires a day or two of work a week unless I’m adding a new feature, redesigning etc.

https://screenjar.com is also making a small amount of revenue, but nothing meaningful yet.


Screenjar looks very cool. Great idea! Bookmarking for later use


My former employer's support department uses TeamViewer with customers. A web-based equivalent would be a game changer for them, if you can go real-time.


Thanks for sharing, screenjar looks interesting. I'll try it out in a few days.


Awesome, thanks - let me know if you have any questions or feedback


Brilliant. Are all those screenshots and videos made manually? Hard work


Yep - I've looked into automating or hiring this out, but spending Monday every week updating/adding a product has been the simplest solution so far


Thanks for letting me know, I’ll look into this asap


This should be fixed now


Thank you so much, fixed indeeed!

How did you fix it?


It was a stupid mistake I made in the CSS after lazily copying it over from another site I made which was doing some weirder stuff with horizontal scrolling


Can you please be a little more specific?

The reason I ask is so that I can be more helpful when the issue comes up in other sites


I copied it from a previous site that had some weird scrolling requirements, so the top HTML element had width: 100%; height: 100%; overflow-y: hidden; on it, while the body element had overflow-x: hidden; width: 100%; height: 100%; on it. Getting rid of that fixed the issues (unsurprisingly!).

I can't imagine many other sites made this mistake!
