A directory anyone could build in an afternoon — the moat is the 4-year audience and SEO rank Rod built around it.
Will it work? · our read
Distribution wins. A 5-hour directory anyone could clone. Rod wins on the audience and SEO rank he compounded — when the product is copyable, distribution is the only moat left.

Indie Hackers — Rocco: "directory passed $40k in revenue"Indie Hackers — JobBoardSearch revenue historyTrustMRR — Stripe-verified MRR (about $1.5K/mo)JobBoardSearch — live site: 798 boards, sponsor pricingFakeMayo — breakdown: revenue + audience numbers
Revenue is first-party. Rocco posts cumulative milestones on Indie Hackers ($16.3K at 1 year, later $40K, then about $80K total by early 2026), and his MRR is Stripe-verified on TrustMRR at roughly $1.5K/mo. Caveat: Starter Story's auto-estimate of about $88K/yr is inflated and conflicts with the founder's own numbers, so we anchor on his posts plus the Stripe check. Board count (798) and sponsor prices (Gold $499, Silver $375) are from the live site. No drama invented — this won on speed and distribution, plainly documented. We never score you.
