Indie hacker group on X feels right now just 10 guys sucking up to each other.Top indie hackers are not promoting anything noble. Not highlighting any new indie hackers.I remember a time when 5 years ago indie hackers were supporting upcoming builders and talked about variety of things.These days it's all circle jerking between top 10-20 builders.Good self reminder to not be like them as I...
Jev launched a few days ago and has taken X (Twitter) by the storm.There’s so much hype around Jev but if you dig deeper it’s mostly software slop or just plain ragebait. As a curious builder myself, it's very hard to filter signal from noise.Decided to fix it. Spent 48 hours straight building - Jev.StoreHand curating only high quality projects tested by owner for valid use cases.If you've,...
Tired of seeing all the same deterministic demos with Jev around coding. If anyone has built anything useful which runs Jev at its core like a proper game, chrome extension, mac app, I'd love to see.Doesn't need to be a proper product, a mini-project works too as long as it is useful to others and not just to the maker.
Wonder what happened to all their hype and agentic connector workflow?Did Claude/GPT ate that market for good?
After watching 1000s of copy cats of outbid app, I wanted to get in on the action too but not by copying it as is. I wanted to give it my own spin. So made own version of it.Idea is simple: Compete and beat your competition to stay on top floor.Been designing for 15+ years now and I finally am able to reap benefits of all the 10,000+ hours I've done in product & design. Just in 24 hrs of...
While gmail is welcoming the Gemini era, all I am seeing is people asking"how do I disable it" haha
Getting a remote job is easy. Keeping it is 10x harder.People see my posts working from different cities and countries and think remote work is just about freedom and flexibility. They see the coffee shop photos, the European trips, the "work from anywhere" lifestyle.What they don't see is the years of discipline it took to make this work.Finding and getting a remote job is actually much easier...
We all have been fooled by the "hustle porn" narrative.The story goes like this: if you want to build something meaningful which makes you wealthy, you have to live on ramen noodles, sleep on floors, have little or no relationships, and survive on like $10 a day kind of budget. That's the supposed definition of struggle.But in reality, the real struggle is in the head. Showing up every day....
If you're starting a new business or have done recently, where did you go to get the landing page done? 1. Bought template? (If yes, where?) 2. Hired an agency to do it? 3. Hired a freelancer to do it? 4. Made it yourself using lovabale or any other AI-builder?
First one is 3goals.today and the other in closed beta so can't talk about it yet
I am going mad with ideas in the age of vibe coding. I have built and monetized a micro-SaaS already and building another one.So much opportunity to build and so little time. I keep getting ideas to build but I don't want to go the route of fully-automated AI agents.I want to enjoy the process and have fun building.Only way forward is building high concentration and focus.Exciting times ahead!
I am working with some enterprise customers and they have a need for API security tool. Their primary and foremost use case is API visibility to begin with.Before I design & build something for them, I want to research more and seeking market data around 3 questions right now:1. How concerned companies generally are around their API security? 2. Is API visibility more important than running...
I am a Product designer for 11+ years now and have been building side projects for long.All my previous project were passion projects and I never focused to monetize them. 2 years ago, I got a domain to build a link in bio tool. I was excited and wanted to focus on this product to make money.I started well. Build a website. Started talking about the project in public and got some initial praise...
My site contains (basic landing page, photos/movies/books/design shots pages which pools data from a json file) - here the focus is to work with a framerwork that support creating components easily which is why I went with Angular in the first place (+ the online tutorial was easy to grasp)
Context:-----------My personal website currently runs on angular. It works well but I since I am noob in coding because I know HTML & CSS pretty well and scrape the internet to piece together other stuff for angular to run this website.Due to my limit coding ability, I run my blog on ghost and it has a different theme which I don't like. I don't want to spend time in redoing the ghost theme...
I can always backup my own code (json file) locally vs. asking letterboxd or imdb to backup my data.
I can always use IMDB or LetterBoxd but I want to de-risk loosing all my work if a 3rd party company tomorrow decides to shut down or gets hacked. With my own data, I always will have a backup and lifetime uptime guarantee.
Solo founders who claim to have $1m ARR or more, without ever sharing any revenue proof - how do you trust them and start following their work online?I've seen many founders tweet stuff out around a niche, but never sharing about their startup's revenue proof in public (stripe screenshot/financial dashboard). They just say they crossed $Xm ARR mark etc."You can fool those who wants to be...
One of the problems of developed nations. But why a few European countries who're also individualistic and freedom loving, are more inclined to listen to their governments and act in community's benefit?
http://sankalpsinha.com/buildinginpublicLooking for feedback! Thanks in advance guys.Context--I'm designer who can code. Have made a few SaaS tools in the past in private and spoke about them only when I launched the product or shipped a feature.With buildinginpublic movement, I am starting to document all my work in public and also made this extensive page, explaining the WHY, HOW, and WHAT of...
