Hey I was just thinking about doing something like this, but just on Youtube.

I was recently on Indie Hacker's podcast and got a lot of followup emails from other engineers asking questions and it was cool talking with random developers.

Is there a way to post a link to a youtube video on IndieLog so I can double dip?

Hmm, I think that would be cool to have. Indeed some of our members are Youtubers as well. It would be a duplicate effort for them to upload the same thing on IndieLog. Thanks for sharing this idea. I will definitely see how I can make it work!

I added it to our backlogs: https://indielog.backlogs.co/post/allow-indietubers-to-share...

Backlogs is a cool idea! But I feel like it really wants to be a Trello Powerup. Show a popup asking for CC info after install, using Stripe Checkout. Then give people a CNAME record that displays a public board in an iFrame, available at backlog.yourservice.com. This would be like a 3-5 day project, instead of weeks, to duplicate most of Trello's functionality. And you'd benefit from the visibility in Trello's marketplace. You could really simplify your implementation and still validate the idea. Just a thought!

That's so true! If I heard Trello Power-ups, I will definitely give it a go.

Actually for Backlogs, some features are already taken from IndieLog, like the upvote and commenting. I just implemented the roadmap boards and the changelog page.

Haha, I built the Backlogs on the side, so it is a slow process :)
