Hot take: "build it and they will come" is the most expensive lie in indie hacking. Spent months polishing Sharry's UX, invite links, feedback loops. Real usage from real users. Traffic? Flat for months. Distribution isn't phase 2. It's phase 1. #IndieHackers #BuildInPublic

@komal_uk01 I love working on a MacBook with the awesome performance of the M Processors. But you can also use a solid ThinkPad but I would recommend using Linux instead of Windows 🤮

What will a real developer choose Macbook or Thinkpad

@Taniyatweets_ @zeddotdev is awesome and my new favorite

Name a better alternative than VS code i’ll wait.

@anupamrjp sharry.live

Now time to promote your startup Promote ur project url Let’s drive some traffic :-)

@TTrimoreau Claude Code, it is often still open from the day before 😅

What’s the first AI tool you open every morning?

@marclou @rdbuilds7 Arrr, what be the meanin' o' this pirate business, matey?

@RahulbeGupta It was Cursor, I used it a lot in the past and moved now on to @zeddotdev

Be honest — which one is your go-to code editor? 👇

@shariar_design @zeddotdev is an awesome alternative with better performance 🚀

Recommend an IDE that's better than VS Code.

@Palak3312 C. Learned it for a required course, aced the exam, never opened a .c file again. Pointer arithmetic lives rent-free in my head though.

Which programming language did you learn... but never used again? 👇

Yesterday's plan: Reddit research for Sharry. Yesterday's reality: 2 kids, no naptime, zero deep work. Working solo means there's no team to cover a bad day. It just doesn't happen - it moves to tomorrow. How do you handle the days that don't happen? #BuildInPublic #IndieDev

@Monika2r I'm having 32GB of Ram, and I'm pretty happy with it. But i you can afford it get as much as possible 😅 if you can't it depends on what you are doing with your machine.

As a Dev, how much RAM is more than enough in 2026? A) 8 GB B) 16 GB C) 24 GB D) 32 GB E) 64 GB F) 128 GB

@Palak3312 First I started with HTML and CSS and after a short time I got really hooked to programming because of Java

Be honest: Which programming language made you fall in love with coding ??

Spent 2 weeks "waiting for more data" on Sharry's feedback feature before checking the numbers. 82 sessions ended. 3 feedback events. Turns out tracking only fired on manual "End session", never on tab close. Waiting doesn't fix a broken funnel. #BuildInPublic #IndieDev

Put an e-reader on the back of my phone. Result: I reach for a book instead of the feed. Same reflex, different outcome. No willpower trick, just better defaults. 📖

@TravelerOfCode Thanks for the reply by the way. I moved to obsidian because it fits my AI based workflow better with all the markdown files.

@TravelerOfCode Nice, I used notion a lot in the past but currently I'm using Obsidian

Friday is the first day of my week. Mon-Thu for ship. Friday i plan next week and analyze the current one. Sat-Sun disappear for family and myself. The trick that gave me back my weekends; Friday isn't for shipping.

@TravelerOfCode I'm really interested in the process and the tools you use on Fridays. Maybe you can share some more insights

@pr0gstar Excatly work it, please give a change !

@PashaBorsai @pocketcasts You are right 😅 and I'm really shocked when I see my statistics on playtime

@pr0gstar @pocketcasts i feel like everyone's podcast library says more about them than their bookshelf 😂
