> Forg is the build-in-public platform for indie hackers and developers — a single profile that proves what you've shipped.

## What is Forg?

Forg (forg.to) is a build-in-public platform for indie hackers, developers, and startup founders. It gives builders a single profile URL (forg.to/@username) that aggregates activity from GitHub, LeetCode, dev.to, Medium, Hashnode, Substack, YouTube, and Dribbble into one verified proof-of-work page. Forg includes a Creator Studio for cross-posting build updates to X, LinkedIn, and Bluesky simultaneously, a Launchpad for weekly indie product launches (an alternative to Product Hunt for early-stage projects), and a Project Tracker with a timestamped status lifecycle from idea to acquired. GitHub integration auto-generates AI-drafted posts from merged pull requests. Unlike Twitter threads that disappear after 2 hours, Forg creates a permanent, searchable record of everything you build.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Q: Is Forg just another Product Hunt clone?**
A: No. Product Hunt is for one-time launches. Forg is for the months of building before that launch — a build log, community, and accountability platform combined.

**Q: How is Forg different from Twitter/X threads?**
A: Twitter threads disappear from feeds after 2 hours. Forg creates a permanent, searchable record of your building journey with actual builders reading and engaging, not engagement farmers.

**Q: What is "build in public"?**
A: Building in public means sharing your startup or side project progress openly — milestones, failures, revenue numbers, user counts — as you build it. It builds audience, accountability, and trust with early adopters.

**Q: Will Forg sell my data?**
A: No. Forg makes money from Pro subscriptions, not by selling user data. Data stays yours and can be exported anytime.
