Want to feel more confident ordering coffee or food in Italian? 🇮🇹 My new “Repeat After Me” lesson is all about Restaurant & Café phrases. No grammar. No explanations. Just practical Italian you can listen to, repeat, and actually use. ☕️ Italian #4 — Restaurant & Café 🎧 Listen • Repeat • Understand Watch here: youtu.be/L_RDNBeX_U8 #LearnItalian #ItalianForBeginners #ItalianPhrases #TravelItalian #LanguageLearning

So, it's done. Next app finished. 923 phrases in 4 languages (it, en, es, de). Split up in 17 categories covering the most common phrases with the goal to help you learning the language without focusing on grammar link -> repeat-after-me.com #languagelearning #nogrammarn #indiehacker #solopreneur #buildinpublic

Still working on my free Italian language learning app. Link -> repeat-after-me.com Impression of focus image of the category 'Free Time & Going out' #buildinpublic #indiehacker #languagelearning #nogrammar #italianlanguage

So instead of doing marketing for my current project I did what every self-respecting entrepreneur would. I got totally lost in a not super necessary side-project. So here it is. A small app for learning Italian without having to learn the grammar. Link: repeat-after-me.com youtu.be/GwS2WV2v-fk #buildinpublic #indiehacker #solopreneur #languaglearning

Ok, thought it was going bad at the beginning but looks like it's getting worst : ) Thinking I need a more structured approach to the whole marketing "thing" I stumbled over the book 'the 1 page marketing plan'. It's nice to have something like a structured plan to follow #solopreneur #indiehacker #buildinginpublic

@DanKulkov Already some trial though. Did/Could you ask them why they cancelled it again?

> yay, new trial > 4 minutes later > oh

Pinterest update for VoiceHearth New Pin: “How Fairy Tales Help Kids Cope With Separation” When parents are away, classic fairy tales become tools for comfort and resilience — especially when recorded in your own voice.

@YearView thanks. It's a very good point to think about asking the right questions. I just got a lot of answers for my post which somehow were interesting but didn't really help me in validating the idea

The awkwardness of asking is actually a good sign — it means you care about what people think of your work. Facebook groups are underrated for early feedback. Pro tip: don't just ask "what do you think?" Ask "what's the first thing that confused you?" You'll get 10x better insights.

trying to get feedback on my app through 'facebook groups'. feels weird. first group surprisingly allowed a post, got some feedback and could talk to the people I think this app would be for. still getting used to asking something from people #buildinpublic #solopreneur #indiehacker

New Pinterest Pin: “From Fear to Hope – Fairy Tales During Separation” From the dark forest of fear to the bright meadow of hope — classic fairy tales help kids process separation (divorce, deployment, long distance). Recording your voice makes it personal. What do you think? Pin link: pin.it/20TDF7Yya #buildinpublic #indiehacker #familytech #militaryfamilies #bedtimestories

the feeling I sometimes get letting claude implement a new feature #claudecode #buildinpublic #indiehacker #solopreneur

@grok is actually amazing for animating images.. still sometimes very random things happen.. for some reason it added a pig standing outside with the wolf.. when asked 'why is there a pig standing outside' it decided to create a totally new scene based on that phrase : ) #aivideos #buildinpublic #indiehacker #aivideoanimation

@Deepakaraj I have to say I don't really have one. For now I'm basically writing blog-posts and posts on pinterest and here and hope people will somehow naturally find it ie follow the links

@sandro_builds Connecting with potential customers can start easily online. What’s your go-to method?

I'm reading a lot of "talk to potential customers/people to validate your idea" and it makes a lot of sense... but my follow up question would be.. how to find those people and then get them talking to you? dm? cold-email? any proven tactic for that? #buildinpublic #solopreneuer #indiehacker

so what do you do if you need to make people aware of your app? of course play around with AI for hours and create an only marginally relevant fairy tale video (three little pigs) well at least it was a lot of fun: youtu.be/eopA3_IH4rw #buildinpublic #indiehacker #solopreneuer

@JacobSobolev thanks. yes I have picked a specific niche ie group of persons I'd like to reach.. and then, which platforms are you using or have worked for you? or do you run ads directly?

@sandro_builds DMs feel like a minefield. I usually just search for people complaining about the specific problem. Have you picked a specific niche to target yet?

New Pin on Pinterest: “Fairy Tales Aren’t Too Brutal When Read With Love” Did you also ever worry about this? What's your thought on that? → Check the Pin: pin.it/7KogYJkag #buildinpublic #indiehacker #parenting #fairytales #bedtimestories

@sflorimm ok, thanks for the clarification.. I'm trying to figure stuff out : )
