@neltots Yeah its crazy. But survival needs of the family triumphs all else.
Been trying to find that end of the tunnel. This 1h window seems to be the ticket to that... slowly

It’s come down to this.
Just one hour a day. Of real deep work.
If I’m lucky.
And that’s assuming I’m in any shape to do deep work. Usually I’m tired already, even though I just woke up.
Spent from the day before juggling 4 jobs. I’m getting used to the routine now, after one year. But the fatigue in mind and body remains. And motivation drained.
I might have found a reliable means to feed my family. But in doing so, I seem to have lost the opportunity to make a significant dent on my indie hacking dreams.
Such a hard trade-off.
Not sure how to proceed.
Burning the candle on both ends seems to be a recipe for burnout. Yet, what else can I do?
I don’t know.
But I’ll sit with not knowing for now.
And just keep trying, keep iterating, at 1h per day.

400 users now.
That concludes the 2 days of public holiday for Chinese New Year. I guess user numbers will drop or taper after this.
I've shared with almost everyone I knew over this 2 days. And this is a free app. This may just be my limit for personal promotion for anything.

Added a sharable image and sharing links. It is now about 20 hours since launch and I have reached more than 300 users. Not a huge number but my best so far. Not too shabby for an app built in 2 hours.

Gong Xi Fa Cai! During Chinese New Year, people go around wishing each other wealth and prosperity for the coming year. Huat is a dialect term for Fa Cai which means sudden increase in wealth. No doubt why gambling is a big part of CNY. Huatcalculator.com

Great thought piece on mortality as a requirement of progress (and the impetus to act). Recommend reading this 5-minute piece.
The quote made me think of why founders keep building even after their first exit. The journey is what matters.

I just dislike many in West always measuring China with a different ruler than for example Japan
If Japan has lights, omg it's soooo futuristic UwU
If China has lights, it's a waste of energy, light pollution and unhealthy
It's so intellectually dishonest

@neltots Avoid travel if possible. It’s windy, and raining nonstop.

Those in Kuala Lumpur and its surrounding areas, we will be affected by heavy rains due to tropical cyclone Senyar tomorrow. This has never happened before. Take care!

Wow
Google just released Antigravity, an incredible AI coding tool
It allows you to manage an army of AI agents to build any app you can think of even if you've never coded before
It's sick. In this video I go over how it works, and show you hot to build your first game:
