Ask HN: Here is your 50%, "non-technicals"
I am a software engineer and entrepreneur with around 7+ years of experience. In all my startups or corporate jobs I have worked in, I have always been in technical / software development positions. In the startups I have been involved in (I have 2), I can say that I generally find myself successful in the technical and business development stages, but in the "marketing" stage, which is very...

That is one of the options. We already run a software studio with some of my software engineer friends but we need more clients. Thanks for the advice.
Ask HN: I plan to relocate to Europe
I am a software engineer with about 5+ years of experience. I am about to graduate with a Bachelor's degree in Sociology and Mathematics. At the beginning of my career, I worked on AI for about 1 year, but after realizing that this field was not for me, I focused on backend development and system design. During the transition period of this career change, I worked on backend development in...

You should read the OP again.

Yes, of course. I am just wondering what would you do if you were in my shoes.

I live in Turkey and the company which went bankrupt was in Turkey. The financial regulations and national economy management (especially the last 3 years) are too strict here. So, there was nothing much to do.

I could not agree more.
Ask HN: My company went bankrupt today and I have 2 options
I am a software engineer and entrepreneur, I have 5+ years of experience. During all of these 5+ years, I was building my startups (2 of my companies failed, and I currently have a small team where we develop in-house mobile apps, but we are not generating any revenue at the moment) while I was working as an engineer in software companies on a salaried basis. So you see, I had a "safe"...

Perfect. I think I have things to learn from you guys. Can we stay in touch? You can see my email in my bio. I would love to hear about this story in detail.
Re:Ask HN: I am the software guy and marketing is hell for me

Yeah, you are right. I feel a little bit more like that.

That sounds cool, how is the product doing now? Is this approach sustainable or this kind of "good fit" partnership is mostly luck?
Re:Ask HN: I am the software guy and marketing is hell for me

Sure. I asked the question based on my past experiences, I don't have a project that I am actively working on at the moment, but I have a few ideas that I am in the planning stage and waiting for the right moment.
At this point I organize my ideas according to my own skills and technical development load. I have pure R&D projects that require technically intensive development. I have a few other ideas in the field of financial technologies (the company I currently work for also works in this field, so I have experience and ideas in fintech) that I am still in the planning stage.
In addition to these, I have a software studio in 50/50 partnership with a close software developer friend of mine, where we develop in-house mobile apps. Occasionally we take outsourced work from different companies. We don't have an established strategy here for now, but this is something to think about.
By the way, you can find my e-mail address in my profile. Can you send me an email to stay in touch? I would love to exchange ideas

Great insights, thanks alot.
Ask HN: I am the software guy and marketing is hell for me
I am a software engineer with experience in multiple startups, both as a salaried employee and as a co-founder.In the software/startups that I develop on my own, I am very lacking in marketing and lead hunting. My projects usually have a good growth potential, but I fail in the non-technical parts.Of course, I have tried to get another co-founder to work on the non-technical side before, but I...

We do not have any problems as long as we charge the monthly fee. And the only limit we have is a little rate limiter (5 requests per second). Nothing more.
I am gonna work on the legal agreement thing. Thanks.

Thanks for your feedback. What kind of terms do you mean? I would happily add them.

Thank you for your comment, you make a good point. Do you think it would be better to design this product as B2B?
Re:Ask HN: Indie hackers, I can solve an important problem for you

For now, I have a product in mind that is not yet completely clear, but to summarize briefly, I think something like this:
After the developers sign up with their products, they will add a method that we will provide (iframes, API calls, SDK integrations with auth-keys) to a part of their projects (for example, the landing page or the dashboard of their applications) and we will collect feedback from their users. Then, at certain intervals, we will extract various insights from this feedback and provide developers with data that will guide them in their next steps.
The feedback collected can be in the form of surveys or open-ended questions. As long as we have clean data that we can analyze.

I have a question for indie developers. When developing a new product/project, it is no longer valid in today's world to develop the product in stealth mode without getting any feedback and without testing the market. Because your 2 biggest problems are: you have limited time/effort and no money (poor people, unfortunately)Iteration is the key: How fast the product goes to market and starts...
