IndieMap is a live, scrollable map directory that lets indie hackers pin their projects to a global map, making them discoverable to others building nearby.
What is IndieMap?
IndieMap is a web-based directory that visualizes indie hacker projects on a live, scrollable world map. Users input their project’s URL and location to drop a pin; the map then displays that pin alongside thousands of other indie projects. The platform is built for the indie hacker community and requires a one-time payment to add a pin.

FAQ
How long does my pin stay on the map?
Your pin remains live as long as your domain is active. If the domain expires or is taken down, the pin is automatically removed from the map.
Is there a free trial?
IndieMap does not offer a free trial. It uses a one-time payment model with no ongoing fees.
Can I edit or remove my pin after adding it?
The website does not publicly specify editing capabilities. However, because your pin is tied to your domain, changing the domain would likely require a new pin.
