Which indie hackers should you follow on X? Updated Oct 24, 2026 · First published Oct 15, 2026 · By Coffounder
Follow the founders who show their numbers. These 40 indie hackers post their real MRR on X, so you can watch how their products do, month after month.
We ranked them by followers. Each row shows their newest MRR, how many numbers they have posted, and when they posted the last one.
We skip posts that sell a course or a playbook, and posts about other people's apps. What is left are founders talking about their own products.
40 founders
175 numbers posted How we checked. Each number comes from a founder's own post on X. A computer checks that the post is about their own product, not a course or somebody else's app. We cannot see bank accounts, so a post is a claim, and we show it as one.
