Your usual Instagram indie dev wannabe vs actual indie deving

@d4m1n $290 per worked hour is pretty badass though True Dan is more awesome than algo Dan and you should be Mîndru about it (ba dum tss inside joke)

@levelsio @sama Weren't we calling these gpt wrappers? They just used to have less misleading branding 😆

So many fake ChatGPT apps @sama Randomly was debugging in Incognito window so got some ads and saw this

@aliszu this post made me sigh, don't know what I'm feeling, but I'm feeling feelings

when I found the Indie Hacker community, I was lost. people were buzzing with tips: - actively reply to other people's posts for 30 minutes a day - post at least once a day - woke up at 5am and start journaling - "I made $100k with this simple trick, you can too.." and much more The truth about 𝕏 is people don't care too much about your journey before 𝕏, people care about your journey here and how you can make their time valuable here. Have fun. Find your way, Don't treat 𝕏, like 9-5 or responsibility (that you want to escape tho), Be hype-man and cheer up people you like.

If you squint your eyes hard enough you start seeing how much BS lays around on indie maker X

@MrNick_Buzz Woah! Anxiety!

In September I asked here if anyone could build a simple app that would display the Stripe subscription timeline as I manually created a Notion calendar to track the dates & next payment schedule. Today, I built one using AI. Here is the video! Find the link in the comments

@d4m1n You're playing with my feelings, ser

@vladdevs I’m not saying, but now that you said it’s something to reflect on

some days I wonder if indie hacking is actually about making content. Apps are just a vehicle for the content, not the other way around 😱

@d4m1n you're just flexing your mrrs on us, Dan 🥹

so how long have you been in Japan Dan? Dan: how have you spent your indie hacker money Dan? Dan::::::

@Dima_heyqq People spend their energy and resources on a lot of weird stuff, but this is just great 😆

@vladdevs actually there were multiple like these :O

Spent the day in the forest thinking about new ideas 🌳

@lewiscarhart Nothing quite like leveraging that morning mental clarity to come up with the best sh*tposting

The best part of indie hacking is waking up at 8:30am, ordering coffee and pastries on the company card then shitposting on x dot com from the comfort of your bed until 10am God speed brothers and sisters

@Dima_heyqq Dang, that looks like a lot of hard work!

@vladdevs found it there :D

@gerardsans is the cure to ai hype-induced anxiety 👏

@daniel_nguyenx By the time you reach the third line of this post you can already hear the beat playing

Indie hacking is ten percent luck Twenty percent skill Fifteen percent concentrated power of will Five percent pleasure Fifty percent pain And a hundred percent reason to focus on marketing

@bradtechdog You don't seem to promote any of your product(s) on X, right? X feels like such a great place to be when your product's audience also aligns with the community you are active in, otherwise, it can be pretty deceiving

It's so easy to get lost in la–la land while being active on X as an indie maker instead of focusing on what matters You get to talk to super smart people, get followers, see green charts in X analytics... Feels like making progress towards something!

@MrNick_Buzz Is Baked a better business model or just the fact that you invested in it the most time and effort that allowed it to grow so much compared to Movevirtual or your Cleaning Business?

October Stats 🤌 $101,979 Revenue 🧁 Baked: $73,367/m 🌐 Movevirtual: $9,335/m 🧼 Cleaning Business: $3,277/m 👨‍🎨 Personal Studio: $16,000/m 🎨 Indie design kit: $0 Businesses are stable, want to keep them that way for 2024. Planning to expand movevirtual (delegatoo) and indie design kit in November.

@d4m1n @marvr_ 🤗🤗

@vladdevs @marvr_ Missed ya welcome back 🥹

a repost/retweet used to be worth a lot more back in the day huh?

@DmytroKrasun I love seeing these grounded and transparent breakdowns! May I ask how you got to ScreenshotOne being the best business idea to chase? It does seem to match the criteria of ideal indie/1-man projects, but it's way easier to judge that in retrospective, after seeing the results

My October 2024 ScreenshotOne.com public report: 💰 $11,682 (+$1,176) MRR 🫂 285 (+16) paying customers 😭 5.7% revenue, 7.5% customer churn 📸 20M+ API requests (+3,051,006) 1. The churn is getting better. I emailed churned customers—I have ideas of what to try next. 2. I launched more free tools for SEO, a funny tiny game, wrote blog posts, and added new features... 2. One month of break helped me a lot. I prioritized sleep, and now ship like a machine. I ship daily. 3. My next challenge is to set a new goal—it should be intrinsic, resonated, and challenging enough for me. How was your October? Reply with a quote of your report if you have one.

@marvr_ @d4m1n A safety net, even if imaginary in the absolute sense is so underrated in this hustle delusion we're being served online... It's a new one, unfortunately it's more unstable than the corporation job I gave up. We'll see if that was a stupid choice in the long run..

@vladdevs @d4m1n Yeah, true. Being safe makes the brain a little more free 😆 Good choice 😂. Still the one or is it the new one?
