Micro-Influencer Campaign ROI Calculator for DTC Brands

DTC brand founders on Indie Hackers report spending $5K-$20K monthly on micro-influencer campaigns with no reliable way to attribute sales back to individual influencers.

Dub.co provides link management. Mobile-first companies lose 40% of marketing conversions because links don't work across platforms: a link from an email opens the web version instead of the app, a social media link doesn't preserve UTM parameters through app install, and cross-device attribution is nonexistent.

Automated Marketing Campaign Planner for Solo Bootstrappers

Smarketly automates campaigns with AI, but targets teams. Solo bootstrappers face a different problem: they don't know WHAT to market, not HOW.

View opportunity

Designer-Mode Theme Pack and Layout Assistant for Formstack Forms Marketing Teams

Formstack Forms is a long-standing enterprise form builder, but reviewers in 2026 consistently call the design experience 'clunky' and the design options 'terrible,' requiring a developer to produce branded forms.

AI Competitor Pricing Page Change Tracker for SaaS Product Marketing Managers

Product marketing managers monitor competitor pricing pages manually but miss changes for weeks.

AI Landing Page Performance Analyzer That Diagnoses Why Pages Don't Convert

Marketing teams with landing pages converting at 2-3% know something is wrong but can't diagnose what. Heatmaps show where users click but not why they leave.
