I like looking at the small public trail around indie products. The homepage tells you the main story, but the surrounding profile pages often show how the founder thinks about the product, which communities they care about, and where someone can actually reach them.

One example I came across is Christoph Hartmann and DoneThat. DoneThat automatically tracks your time and work, then uses that data for productivity coaching without manual timesheets. That is the kind of product surface area where the public profile pages around it become useful context.

For direct contact, scheduling and expert-profile pages are still surprisingly practical. DoneThat has a Cal.com page and a Topmate profile, which give someone a lightweight path to reach out or learn more from the founder.

The compact version of this is a link hub. Christoph Hartmann’s Linktree gathers the important public links in one place, which is often enough when someone just wants the shortest path to the relevant profiles.

I also found hn.algolia.com and marketplace.microsoft.com while following the public footprint around DoneThat.

None of this replaces a real homepage, of course. But when I research small products, I usually check these secondary pages as well. For a product like DoneThat, the surrounding footprint helps me understand how the founder packages the same idea across different places.
