1/ I'm 40+, mass layoff survivor, building 2 apps with no team and no funding. Not making millions — just $2K/mo so far. But every dollar is mine. Here's my story 🧵

@marclou @Superwall any plans for crypto payments? something like coinbase commerce or btcpay server. more indie founders are accepting crypto now and there's basically zero MRR tracking for it

TrustMRR now supports @Superwall! That's the #8 payment provider. Which one should I do next?

@ParabolicMethod spending 2 months of budget in 5 days takes guts but sometimes compressing the timeline is the only way to find out if something works before you overthink it. week 1 live is the hardest part done

@marklifepivot the #lifepivot tag hits close to home. went through something similar — got laid off at 40+ and started building instead of going back to corporate. day 5 with a running draft is faster than most people get in months. keep going

@dtibbs_83 ok i'll try: you want to learn ukrainian but every app teaches you tourist phrases you'll never use. the gap between textbook language and how real people actually talk never closes. that's what disappears. ...yeah this is hard

Stop selling features for a second Try describing your app without mentioning a single feature. Just explain what problem disappears when someone uses it It’s harder than it sounds. Go. #buildinpublic #SaaS #solofounder

@sagarfounds deleting everything and starting with one thing is the hardest move but always the right one. day 5 and already writing code as a non-tech founder — respect. following along

Day 5 of building in public. Wrote my first line of code today. Started wrong. Built everything at once. Complete mess. Deleted it all. One thing only. JARVIS receives a message. Worked. Day 6 — JARVIS talks back. #BuildInPublic #AIAgents #Solofounder

@rob_qd the "calm" angle is smart. most health trackers guilt-trip you into using them. making it feel private and non-judgmental is a real differentiator

@SHSHSH090909 love that you scratched your own itch as an etsy seller and turned it into a product. scheduling across time zones is such a pain point for solo sellers. good luck tuesday

@StackCurious been there more times than i'd like to admit. built an entire notification system once because i thought users would love it. nobody turned it on. now i force myself to talk to at least 3 people before writing a single line of code

spent 3 hours building a feature nobody asked for. shipped it anyway. got zero usage. turns out the problem i was solving only existed in my head. the hard part of solo building isn't the code—it's not building things just because you can. ##buildinpublic #solofounder #indiehacker

@patrickc as a solo founder running payments through stripe, this is exactly what keeps me from stitching together 5 different services. the less context-switching between dashboards the better

@JohnONolan wild that open source projects are essentially free QA targets for AI labs now. at least responsible disclosure means you get the fix before the exploit. wondering how many smaller projects are getting scanned without even knowing it

Interesting side effect of running a large open source project these days is that when AI labs want to test their new security scanning features, they use you to do it! Very grateful this was responsibly disclosed so we could immediately resolve. (Aside: the assertion that the project has “[never had a critical vulnerability in its 20 year history]” is not correct. @ghost has been around for 13yrs and it has had vulnerabilities found by security researchers and fixed by us, long before AI, just like any other project)
chiefofautism@chiefofautism

someone at ANTHROPIC just showed CLAUDE finding ZERO DAY vulnerabilities in a live conference demo claude has found zero day in Ghost, 50,000 stars on github, never had a critical security vulnerability in its entire, history... it found the blind SQL injection in 90 minutes, stole the admin api key, then did the exact, same thing to the linux kernel

@manol_ai the phone screen test is underrated. i've been guilty of writing essays thinking more context = more trust. turns out people just stop reading after line 3. curious — do you personalize those 4 lines per lead or keep them templated?

@amincodes @jakobjelling 43 founders in the founding tier is solid traction. the fact that you're building community around proof-of-work and not just another portfolio site is what makes this different imo

@diegomichelato_ "squarespace moment for AI agents" is a great framing. the winner won't be whoever has the best model — it'll be whoever makes it feel like drag and drop

Gumloop just raised $50M from Benchmark to let non-technical people build AI agents. No code. No prompt engineering. Just describe what you want done. This is the real unlock. Not better models. Better interfaces. → 90% of businesses can't hire AI engineers → But 100% of them have workflows that need automating → The company that makes agent building feel like using Canva wins We're entering the "Squarespace moment" for AI agents.

@dx4956s fully local with no data sent to servers is a solid differentiator. privacy-first tools always win in the long run. ATS scoring is a nice touch too

@julianweisser building products feels the same way. the best stuff I shipped was when I stopped overthinking and just put it out there raw. polish comes later, energy doesn't

I love the run and gun nature of some film/tv productions. No permits, just making it happen. It transfers through to the final result. In the films like Lost in Translation you can feel the energy of shooting on the edge. Chase that feeling in your own work.
Richard Shepard@SaltyShep

Loved doing this episode. Hand held. No marks on the ground. Sometimes no permits. We run and gunned so much of it, just letting the energy of the actors and the script take us where they might.
