How to Showcase Multiple Side Projects on One Page
TL;DR: Group your side projects by status — shipped, building, archived — and give each one a name, a live link, and a single sentence. Put all of it on one page behind one stable URL, so launching something new means editing the page, not your bio.
You have shipped a couple of apps, started a newsletter, and have two more things in a half-built state. That is more than any single bio link can hold, so right now they live in scattered tweets and a notes file. The work looks smaller than it is purely because nobody can see it in one place.
The fix is structure. A pile of links is clutter; the same links grouped and labeled is a track record. Here is how to make the jump.
Group by status, not by type
The instinct is to sort by category — apps here, content there. Status works better, because it tells a story about momentum:
- Shipped — live, working, real. Your proof.
- Building now — in progress. Your hook; this is what earns a follow.
- Archived — retired or paused. Your honesty, and evidence you finish things and move on.
A visitor scanning those three buckets instantly understands where you are: someone who ships, is shipping, and has the scars to prove it.
Give every project the same three things
Consistency is what separates a portfolio from a junk drawer. Each entry gets:
- A name — the real product name, not “Project 1.”
- A live link — straight to the thing, no detours.
- One sentence — what it is or what it achieved. “ReelBot — turns long videos into short clips, 5k users.”
Resist the urge to write paragraphs. One sentence per project keeps the page scannable, and scannable is the entire game.
Use one stable URL
The classic mistake is rotating a single bio link to whatever you launched most recently. Every swap orphans the last project and confuses anyone who saved the old link. Instead, point your bio at one page that holds everything. Ship something new? Add a row. The URL never changes, so every share you have ever posted keeps working and keeps pointing at your best, current self.
Show the work in progress
Makers underrate the “building now” section. It is frequently the most magnetic part of the page, because people love watching something get built. List what is in flight, label it clearly as in development, and let visitors opt in to the story.
Do it in one place
This is precisely what IndieShow is built for: a single page with shipped, building, and archived sections already structured, each project a clean row with a link and a line. You claim indie-show.com/yourname, paste your projects in, and put that one link everywhere. New launch, one new row.

Frequently asked questions
How do I show multiple side projects in one place?
Group them by status — shipped, building, and archived — and give each project a name, a live link, and one sentence of context. A single page organized by status reads as momentum, whereas a flat list of links reads as clutter.
Should I put unfinished side projects on my page?
Yes. A 'currently building' section is often the most engaging part of a maker's page because people want to follow work in progress. Label it clearly so visitors know what is live versus in development.
What is the best way to link to many projects from a bio?
Link to one page that contains all of them rather than swapping a single bio link between projects. One stable URL means you update the page, not your bio, every time you ship something new.
