@Eric_13579_Eric @TheoAugust8 Hey eric, let's connect. I’ll FB ASAP

Hey founders! Looking to connect with people building in: 🍽️ saas 🚀 tech 🧠 AI tools 📱 iOS app 🌐 extension Drop what you're working on 👇

@aaliya_va Thank you!

@Eric_13579_Eric Fashion styling works really well with personalization

Also, let me promote the first project I completed in my plan again: It’s an AI fashion styling website that helps create personalized outfits and style recommendations for you. The whole website was built 100% with AI. I don’t have a strong programming background, so this has really been a process of building while learning.#ai #fasion #vibecoding

really？

Now my “one project every 3 weeks” plan has officially started, and I’ve completed the first one — 1/20. I’m now trying to figure out: What real needs still haven’t been solved perfectly? What annoying, repetitive, expensive, or frustrating problem do you wish someone would build a better solution for?

This should be the current ranking of AI model strength — just my own opinion.👀

@dark_coderz appreciate mate

USA has ChatGPT USA has Claude USA has Gemini USA has Grok China has DeepSeek China has Qwen China has Kimi China has GLM India has?

@rezoundous How’s the experience with Opus 4.8 so far?

My personal ranking 1. Codex GPT-5.5 2. Claude Opus 4.8 3. Composer 2.5 4. Manual code 5. Gemini

I like this kind of atmosphere — quiet and peaceful. It’s not that I specifically love classical things. I just like that feeling of slowing down and becoming calm. I think many indie developers probably feel the same way.🌲🪵

This is genuinely interesting. For a developer, X is a variable. That’s exactly why I created a Discord community. Developers who are interested in my projects, or who want to support each other, are welcome to join and discuss. discord.gg/sKJsXmtfF

@Hemantkr1982 Hey, I’m a new indie developer. I’ve already finished one project, and my plan is to ship one new project every 3 weeks. Would love to connect, follow each other, and support each other’s journey.

Builders & founders 👋 I'm looking to meet more people building: ⚡ SaaS 🤖 AI products 🛠️ Developer tools 🔄 Automations 🌐 Web apps 📱 Mobile apps 🚀 Startups Tell us what you're building and drop a link below 👇

Sometimes being an AI user feels like cheating: you take a shower, go to sleep, and wake up the next day somehow more capable than before.✍️

@pcshipp The most confusing thing about X is wondering how many people will actually stop and read your post. On TikTok, the platform decides what you watch. But on X, the power is handed back to the user.

Which platform is the hardest to grow on? - X - TikTok - YouTube - Instagram

This is a real problem. Distribution is often harder than building. A lot of new indie hackers make this mistake at the beginning. I made it too.

This is basically the dream state for most indie makers, right?👍

@sammythevamp_1 sure! any time

@Eric_13579_Eric interesting tech,can we talk in dms Eric_?

WearvueAI is officially live 🎉 It started as part of my “one project every 3 weeks” plan — build fast, launch fast, and learn in public. This time I built an AI outfit recommendation tool focused on making style suggestions feel simple, practical, and easy to use. Not perfect yet, but it’s live. Project #1 is shipped. Now on to the next one.

@gregisenberg This is the part I’m learning right now. Building feels comfortable because you can always fix something. Distribution is harder because it forces you to face silence, rejection, and whether people actually care.

I've built an 8 figure holding company with $0 of outside capital called Late Checkout. Today, I’ll share our playbook. Maybe it’ll be helpful to someone. Step 1: Find audience We focus on influential, high value customer audiences. We’re like the anti-Mr.Beast. Less glory but I’m okay with it. We get ideas for those on what’s trending on places like Reddit and X. We use automation and AI to get those insights quickly and clearly. We observe what’s beginning to take off. Write it down. And most importantly, we ask "why now". Our most successful businesses had a strong why now. We write these ideas in our idea pages within Notion. Review it weekly. Step 2: social account Instead of building a product that we sell first, we begin with a social account. Counter-intuitive, I know. But our thesis is that distribution is harder than building a product. We look at what other accounts in the space are doing. And try to do the opposite. The opposite is an important point because you're trying to create "scroll stopping" content. If it looks like everything else, they'll keep scrolling. No bueno. Tactically, that might mean going more visual. Or telling stories that aren’t told. We get good at finding that format. It’s the only way to stand out. And we only focus on 1 platform. Multiple platforms at this stage is a distraction. Every major platform has hundreds of millions of customers. That's enough to validate. Step 3: grow account We wait until we get to 10,000 followers before we usually build anything. In B2B, if you have 10,000 followers, you're the Mr. Beast of your category. 10,000 potential customers is massive. Each platform has unique ways to grow. We’re particularly excited about You Tube right now. The “hack” right now is longer form, more raw videos and posting daily. On X, being a reply guy is the best way to 10,000 followers. Step 4: Free community I’ve been burned enough by algorithms changing to do this before moving on to building a product. People don’t want another community. But they do want value. We look to bundle a ton of value in a free community in order to get people’s phone numbers or emails. We overload them with value to get them where they want to get to. What’s worked really well is creating communities around “challenges”. Example: You’ve got a popular Keto diet social account. Join the 90 keto challenge. Best part of this step is having this group of customers tell you what to build. These communities are your north star. They are your anchor. And if you don't want to build a community, that's okay. Build a bunch of lead magnets. Step 5: Build a product We don’t spend more than 30 days to build a product. Start small. Sometimes we’ll partner with existing business here. Sometimes we’ll partner with a founder who has his zone of genius in this space but lacks the infrastructure and audience to go big. This has worked well. Step 6: Product/market fit. Now, product/market fit starts hitting and high fives all around. Copycats come in. But it’s okay. We keep going. The community keeps telling us what to build. And we’ve got systems in places to build quickly, test, learn and make it beautiful. Then you just gotta keep going. It compounds all of it. The audience, the community, the product. Step 7: the future Once the product is really at product/market fit. We start thinking about adjacent products. We either buy or incubate those. This increases lifetime value of the customer. Sometimes we’ll find existing businesses or founders to come under this company. This is when this business turns into a holding company in itself. It starts incubating, buying businesses. This when I feel like the student has become the teacher. The business is all grown up. That's the basic playbook. I don't know if this sorta stuff is interesting to you, but let me know if its. The more you share/reply, the more I know what to keep writing on. I gotta say -- the most fun I've ever had in my career has been building this holdco. Its really creative, less stressful than a VC-backed startup and I'd like to inspire 100+ multipreneurs. If I was in my 20s, I'd do this. By the time you're in youre 30s, the compounding is crazy. And it's just fun to be able to learn about new niches, and hop on trends. Enjoy. -- * Pardon the typos.

A weird advantage of being young: You don’t have experience. So you also don’t have 20 years of reasons why something won’t work.👀
