Slick design. Love that it doesn't try to do a million things. I think this would be really nice as a smartwatch face or an iPhone widget.

My favorite entrepreneur read this past year was Minimalist Entrepreneur from Sahil.

Depends a bit on your approach.

If you're trying to ship projects and you don't care how things work under the hood, then check out repos that look interesting and start pulling levers.

A lot of projects you can play around with now on Google Colab without really knowing how they work.

If you want to go deeper, really understand what's happening with Machine Learning and neural-nets, then the most-recommended course is still Andrew Ng's Coursera course.

And if you just want to keep up with the headlines/fight FOMO I'm writing a 20% jokes 80% informative newsletter at https://boteatbrain.com/

I use Feather and I love it. Makes for such a convenient writing experience.

I use a service called Feather (https://feather.so/) for my blog which uses Notion as a CMS and abstracts away the actual api layer.

I believe behind the scenes it uses a service called https://usenotioncms.com/ which offers some quality of life improvements over the vanilla Notion api.

Welcome to the internet at large.

Wish more of these kinds of posts hit the front page. Tired of VC news dominating when indie hackers are building interesting small businesses like this that never get featured.

> Then there are mangroves whose trunk flattens out at the base; these trees stem from a branch at a low elevation — and they walk!...Is this tree really walking? When we walk, our physical mass moves as a whole. But no displacement of matter occurs with mangroves; the way they grow just makes it look that way. The “movement” is the growing process, four to five meters a year. The branch experiences necrosis and vanishes at one end, while it keeps developing on the other.

Do you have a link to your project or a way to follow your progress? I'm interested in decentralized community platforms.

Most casual language learners underestimate the time and effort required to get anywhere close to fluent in a language.

"Casual" will never get you there.

If you're seeking functional fluency, expect to spend 2-3 hours a day for 1-3 years at least. Most of those hours should be spent consuming content in the target language.

Check out a system like Refold for an idea of the effort required and how to plan your study https://refold.la/roadmap

I've only learned one foreign language so far, Spanish, and I started 10 years ago in highschool.

I made the greatest leaps in my ability when I spent 2-3 months at a time spending time like this:

- living in Spanish-speaking country

- reading and watching YouTube (10-20 hours/week)

- taking private lessons (1-3 hours/week)

- using spaced repetition systems (3-4 hours/week)

Living in a country where your target language is spoken makes learning opportunities more accessible, but without focused effort you won't just "pick up the language" unless it's already very close to a language you speak.

All that said, anyone can learn a language if they put the effort in. It's mostly "hard" only in the sense that it takes a lot of time. Most of your study time could be watching TV, reading books, talking to friends, or playing video games as long as they're in your target language and near your limit of comprehension. It should be as much as 80% fun stuff/20% studying to keep yourself motivated.

Isn't their whole business model "explicit"? I don't get how this will work out for them.

Based on the Indie Hackers interview with two active Only Fans content makers, it also sounds like their app is kinda shitty and slow.

Seems like they're opening the door wide open to a new competitor.

A dollar general opened in my food-desert hometown a couple years ago. First new thing to open in decades that hasn't shut down within a year. Welcome addition to the town.

Pretty cool, do you have any demo URL's or currently popular streams to try out the multi-player experience with?

Okay, trying it out:
