1 week of building in public. What I learned: Users care more about the ATS score than the resume builder. The aha moment is seeing a low score, not the finished resume. Following the data. #BuildInPublic #SaaS #IndieHacker #Founder #IceSume

Why your cover letter gets ignored: You write about yourself. Recruiters want to know what you'll do for them. Start with their problem. Then show how you solve it. That shift alone doubles your response rate. #CareerTips #CoverLetter #JobSearch #GetHired #Resume

Job seekers, honest question: What is the hardest part of your job search right now? A. Writing a resume that work B. Cover letters C. Hearing nothing back D. Tracking applications Drop your answer below. #JobSearch #CareerTips #Resume #OpenToWork #Hiring

@rivestack This is the kind of advice nobody gives you until it's too late. For me it's probably the AI provider dependency. Everything else is swappable. But if Claude API pricing shifts or the model behaviour changes, that touches the core product.

@iamicepick honest answer, the thing you ship in 3 months is rarely the thing that hurts in year 2. ask yourself which piece will be most painful to swap, that's usually the one to think hardest about

Built and shipped a full SaaS solo in 3 months while working a 9-5. Stack: Next.js, TypeScript, Supabase, Prisma, Claude AI, Dodopayments, Vercel, AWS EC2. What would you have done differently with this stack? #BuildInPublic #NextJS #SaaS #IndieHacker #WebDev

@bigfandotpro Exactly. That invisible wall is what inspired the whole product. People aren't unqualified, they're just invisible. IceSume fixes that.

5 reasons you're not hearing back after applying: 1. Resume not ATS optimized 2. Missing keywords from job description 3. Wrong formatting 4. No quantified achievements 5. Generic summary Fix these first. #JobSearch #CareerTips #Resume #ATS #GetHired

@BarakDesigns Honestly the best accelerator I could ask for. No runway to burn means every decision has to count.

@iamicepick lagos timezone, 9-5 constraint, zero funding. that's a harder filter than any accelerator.

Building a SaaS from Lagos while working a 9-5. No VC. No team. No excuses. Just shipping. #Lagos #BuildInPublic #AfricanFounder #IndieHacker #SaaS

@sir4K_zen Always. Ideas are cheap, shipping is everything.

@iamicepick Respect the grind, shipping beats dreaming

@Kyriakos_Pelek Every single day. The 9-5 pays the bills, the nights build the dream.

@iamicepick Grinding nine to five, shipping stays real

@jaick_pp Distribution, 100%. The product is solid. Getting the right people to see it is the real work right now. Creator partnerships and building in public is the current bet. Early signs are good.

@iamicepick Full-time job by day, building by night from Lagos — that's the real commitment. PH launch day has a specific kind of nervous energy to it. Congrats on shipping IceSume. What's the biggest bottleneck right now — distribution or product?

Solo founder. Lagos. Full time job by day, building products by night. Just launched IceSume on Product Hunt today and the response has been humbling. This account is going to document everything. The wins, the mistakes, the late nights, and whatever comes next. Follow 4 updates.

@VoltrexAI Ha, exactly. Nobody posts the 1am “why is this not working” moments. Checking your DM now.

@iamicepick midnight deploys solo, that's the unglamorous version nobody posts about. left you a note in DM.

What building IceSume actually looked like: Squeezing in commits between work tasks Designing features during slow afternoons Deploying at midnight after a long day No co-founder. No funding. No office. Just a problem worth solving. #BuildInPublic #IndieHacker #SaaS #Founder

@JacobSobolev Exactly this. No shortcuts, just showing up every day. Stubbornness might be the most underrated founder skill.
