Marketing for indie hackers who'd rather be shipping.
You're the founder, the engineer and the entire marketing team. GrowthMeteor watches Reddit, X, LinkedIn and YouTube for people who need what you're building and drafts the reply in your voice, so you get users without it eating your build time.

Distribution is a full-time job you don't have time for.
Bootstrapped means no ad budget and no marketing hire, just you, shipping all day. Everyone says 'do marketing', but you can't sit in ten communities waiting for someone to mention your problem space, and a cold post in r/SaaS gets you downvoted. So the build is great and nobody knows it exists.
- ×No budget for ads, no time to live in communities
- ×Posting about yourself feels gross and gets you downvoted
- ×Every hour on marketing is an hour not shipping
How indie hackers get users with GrowthMeteor
It does the watching, you keep shipping
Track your keywords across Reddit, X, LinkedIn and YouTube in one feed. It runs in the background and only surfaces the few threads where someone actually needs what you built.
Show up helpful, never spammy
For each one you get a draft in your own voice that discloses you honestly and reads like a builder helping out, the kind of reply that earns upvotes, not bans.
Anyone built a usage-based billing tool? Need one.
Founder of Meter here, built exactly this. Happy to share how teams move off Stripe, no pitch.

A few minutes a day, on a budget you control
Approve replies in a quick daily review, and usage is shown as plain AI credits with a hard monthly cap, so a tight budget never turns into a surprise bill.
