ShowTrust for indie hackers

Ship a wall of love before your launch — no design team needed

You're shipping in public, wearing every hat, and your launch is in 9 days. The fastest credibility win is real customer love on your homepage — and the slowest is building a testimonial widget yourself. ShowTrust ships you the entire loop in an afternoon.

The Problem

The 'just add testimonials' tax

You launch in 9 days and the landing page has no social proof

Building your own testimonial widget eats a weekend you don't have

Existing tools cost $30–$80/mo before you've made your first sale

Google Forms + manual screenshots = ugly, brittle, and unbranded

The Solution

Indie-friendly social proof — built for shipping

Hosted submission page with your branding in under 5 minutes

One-line embed for your landing — drop in and ship

No card required while in early access — keep your CAC at zero

Beta testers, Product Hunt commenters, and DMs — all in one wall

How solo founders use ShowTrust

The day you go public-beta, send your testers a single submission link. Every quote that lands becomes a tile on your wall of love — instant social proof for the Product Hunt launch, the X post, and the cold email signature.

Pair it with the free [quote card generator](/tools/quote-card-generator) to turn the best ones into shareable PNGs for your launch thread. The wall keeps growing as more users discover you, and your homepage gets stronger every week — without you touching it.

FAQs

I haven't launched yet — should I bother?

Yes — install it the day you start beta. Even three real testers saying 'this saved me an hour' beats a homepage with zero proof. The earlier you set the loop up, the more testimonials you'll have by launch day.

How long does it take to set up?

If you have your site running locally, around 10 minutes: create an account, get your project slug, paste the embed snippet, and share your submission URL. The [/docs](/docs/getting-started) walk-through is the fastest path.

Will it look generic / SaaS-y on my landing?

No — minimal mode is one of the defaults. You can show just a row of quoted stars, a vertical scroll of quotes, or a Tweet-style grid. We deliberately ship walls that look hand-crafted, not 'powered-by-something'.

What happens after early access?

There will be a paid plan eventually, but the indie-friendly tier won't go away. Founders who sign up in early access get grandfathered into a free tier for the lifetime of the project.

Can I migrate testimonials I already have?

Yes — bulk import via CSV. Paste in your tweets, DMs, and Loom screenshots and they show up in the same wall.

Ready to show off the trust?

Hosted submission page + embeddable wall of love. Free while in early access — no card to start.
