The Problem
As developers, we noticed a recurring pain point:
Collecting testimonials was a chore—clunky forms, back-and-forth emails, no clean interface, and certainly nothing developer-friendly.
Existing tools felt bloated or heavily “markety.” There wasn’t a fast, clean, no-BS solution tailored for indie hackers, freelancers, or dev-focused SaaS.
The Idea
Build a testimonial platform from the ground up, with one clear goal:
✨ Make it stupidly easy for developers to collect and manage testimonials — while keeping UX slick, clean, and API-first.
We called it VouchFast.
