Indie Hackers post playbook

Before your IH milestone post.

Indie Hackers posts get permanent SEO juice and founder scrutiny. Run clearance on your revenue milestone, launch, or 'I built this' post URL before publishing.

One more link level — good for sites with a few sections. Your Free plan scans up to 25 pages per scan.

Supabase backend testing (optional)

Provide Supabase credentials to run deeper RLS and cross-tenant isolation probes. Secrets are encrypted at rest and never appear in scan reports.

Expand to add optional Supabase credentials.
