The Maker Series
Conversations with independent makers about how they make, host and market the things they build — and the lessons they learned along the way.
Every interview
How they make, host and market what they build.
Make
What they built, why, and the stack and tools behind it.
Host
Where it runs, what it costs, and how it's kept online.
Market
How it finds its first users — and what didn't work.
Latest interview
“Building it was the easy half; getting noticed is the actual work.”
Igor Tverdokhleb built HansaChat, an EU-based company chat with one fixed workspace price instead of per-user seats. A solo, bootstrapped founder on pricing, data sovereignty, building with AI agents, and why distribution is the real work.

Are you a maker?
Tell us how you make, host and market what you build.
We feature independent makers and small teams — the wins, the mistakes and the lessons in between. If you've shipped something, we'd like to hear about it.
