Why I built a full-stack web app for indie game developers and artists

After seeing a recurring amount of reddit posts about steam capsule artists I decided to use my coding skills, yes real coding, to create a platform to find steam capsule artists instead of them having to look through portfolios and reddit posts.

I decided to call it CapsuleTalent - a dedicated platform to find and hire steam capsule artists.

You can read more about how I validated the project here.

I also have a walkthrough video showing how it was built using Astro.js, clerk, Appwrite and Stripe. I also used Claude and ChatGPT in my workflow to speed up production.

The website is live and in early access. Artists can join free and complete their profiles and devs can join and browse free but must post a job (free) to connect with artists.
