Tamara Martinović

I started coding at 37 after spending 10+ years in academia as a molecular biologist. By accident. No grand plan. No childhood prodigy story. Just curiosity, a laptop, and the extremely dangerous discovery that making computers do things is addictive 😊

@13_narcissus Thank you! Looking forward to see what you will build next!

@CodeWithTamara Glad to hear you have found your ikigai! Keep up with good work! Honoured to connect with you!

After years of hesitation, procrastination, and that heavy imposter syndrome whispering “you’re too late”… At 51, I just merged 112 commits into main. 547 files later, my first SaaS is finally real and few little steps from production. I’m feeling everything right now. If you’ve ever been here — scared, proud, emotional, and wondering if it’s too late — drop a ❤️ or a word. Your support would mean more than you know. Grateful to @marclou and @jackfriks — their @shipordie_ cohort awakened the builder spirit in me. We’re doing this. 🙏 #FirstSaaS #NeverTooLate #IndieHacker

@lenatron33 Thank you Lena! I love your app as well, I'll hop on the waitlist, I throw out food too often, no more 🙂

@CodeWithTamara Well this is refreshing to see! I am looking forward to seeing what you do with Wonder Pages, it looks like a really fun project.

I don't want to connect to: - founders - SaaS builders - AI enthusiasts - etc. who every other day post posts like this. I crave for real cool folks with cool stories and builds. Not with 1000 fake followers. Quality over quantity.

@mstables1991 We play for fun with our 6 year old 🙂

@CodeWithTamara Very nice did you win

Good morning ☕️ Friendly reminder that Sundays don’t have to be all-or-nothing. You don’t need to build a SaaS. You don’t need to launch a business. You don’t need to change your life today. Maybe today’s win is: ✓ Learning something new ✓ Testing an idea ✓ Writing a note ✓ Finishing a lesson ✓ Taking a walk Small progress compounds. Enjoy your Sunday and keep building. 🚀

@kapzathefounder Those are same great stats! 🥳

@ChadAppDev Laptop still hasn't fallen of the balcony I see 😀

$10k MRR by end of year or I jump off

@asaio87 Am I that guy? 😂 I think I created over 10 apps this year. Just launched my first one a few days ago 😆

I talked to a vibe coder guy on Reddit today about his app. He launched his 10th app this year, but no customers. He spent millions of tokens on Claude Code He says he enjoys building the apps so much because he is using AI and can build so much faster. But when he needs to get users, feel discouraged and does the next best thing, starts another app, only to end up in the same place. What should he do ? Keep building until he hits a viral app that markets itself? or just continue with one app for 12 months and spend 9 hrs a day marketing it

@eliana_jordan 300 new users? Wow!! What happened, what caused this boom? Or is it that once you master poaching eggs, the rest simply follows? 😀 Is it related to Instagram? Don't tell me I have to open an account there as well 🤣

achievements of the week: - 400+ downloads on ios + android - finally mastered poached eggs - went viral 6 times on instagram - gained 2k+ followers on ig - 300+ new users on my scuba app 2 months ago i had two dead ig accounts and couldn’t make decent poached eggs believe in yourself

@jessyka_boat I haven't bought almost anything for years now, since I've been working from home. I often attend standups in just some T-shirt and yoga pants. I just throw stuff out each season, but now I have the problem of having too few items and need to go shopping 😀

As I’ve gotten older I’ve realized the less you own is a correlation to real wealth. Everything I wear sums up in a small handful of items. I have my favorite shirts, yoga pants and dresses I wear on a regular bases every time. That one perfect dress that hugs all my curves and makes me feel like a million bucks!! ( it’s almost 15 years old ) The shoes that might be a little more worn out but fit like a glove. The shirt that’s faded but I always default to it. I’m going to start purging my closet. Get rid 5-10 items every week. Only keep my Most beloved items. Have you purged your closet?

A few day ago I built the vibeordev.com quiz. Then I built the welcome book app for guests. Today I started on my newest project - Wonder Pages - personalized printable activity books for kids. I'll post daily about my progress- all feedback is welcome 😊

@MartinTale You go Martin!!!! I'll never forget the feeling I had after running 5km for the first time ever. I cried like a baby for 30min. I could not believe I had done it. I had been a couch potato previously. Once I pushed trough those 5, I new I'd do 20 one day. And I did 😉

First 20km EVER!!! 🥳🎉 I'm ready Half Marathon now 💪

@acadictive I love the sunglasses, I'm guessing you have a daughter? :) My husband is at the beach at this very moment with our daughter, while I'm enjoying some quite time doing what I love best, building :)

Weekdays: builder mode. Weekends: parent mode.

A few days ago, I shipped a small quiz. 20 questions, 30 seconds each, a check on how well you actually understand the AI tools you use every day. I expected a few friends to humor me. Instead, 164 developers took the quiz 🤯 Which on are you? 👇 vibeordev.com

@SeanOHannahan I've heard this sentence many times. That means it must be true. I'll obey 🙂

@CodeWithTamara Treat your first customer like royalty. They are your future marketing department.

I just landed my first paying customer 🤑🤑🤑 200€, it feels like 20000 🤣 I still don't have the money, so I won't celebrate too early, but damn I feel good 😁

@mubeenchatthaa Can you believe it!

@CodeWithTamara those fb groups are still working 🤯

I launched my app less than 2 days ago. Posted in several FB groups. Got one client in the pipeline, and a second one asked me to contact them. The best part: it's a family run tourist agency that has over 50 apartments on the island Krk 🤑 My product must be damn good 😎

@nickventuri But I already live on it 😀 If you'd like, you can come and stay instead 😉

@CodeWithTamara sounds like you just secured some cheap summer accommodation on krk island 😂

@Jbm_dev Carpe diem is my moto! Who knows what the future will bring!

is anyone else's entire business plan just: "keep going and find out" things change so fast it's wild
