I’m sitting in the airport and waiting for my 12-hour flight to Vietnam.
This is going to be the most transformational trip of my life.
In 30 days I’m either gonna have a successful SaaS or…
There is no OR!
As I’ll lock in with my co-founder and a bunch of successful founders in one villa to build some cool sh*t!
Da Nang, I'm COMING!

My app just hit $329 MRR in 2 months
- 97 active subscriptions
- $652 in revenue (last 28 days)
- $1,160 total revenue
Pretty happy with the progress so far.
Time to push for $500 MRR 💪
César Álvarez@cesaralvarezll
MY APP JUST PASSED $250 MRR 🤯 Almost at 100 subscribers and just a few dollars away from hitting $900 in total revenue in under 2 months. Just submitted a major app update for review, now it’s time to go all-in again on organic content and start testing my first ads 🔥

@dayonefoundry They must have pretty good inside insight, i wait them in Da Nang 👀👀

And just like that

Breaking News: Meta plans to cut 10% of its work force, roughly 8,000 employees, and close another 6,000 open roles. The cuts come as the company — which owns Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp — spends heavily on developing A.I. nyti.ms/3OUs6PI

My first iOS app has been live for 7 weeks. Here are the stats so far ⚡️
- 1200+ downloads
- $168 MRR
- $420 All-time Revenue
- 31 five star reviews
Battling churn, but I won’t get discouraged!

Finally sat and started creating my first video ad using AI UGC character.
Asked gemini to create a few versions of the same person and it did a pretty good job. I also tried the same with gpt-image-2 and both results were pretty decent.
I had a thorough analysis of competitor ads already prepared with all the prompts for each timecode just to speed up the process and get the best quality.
Then I did a few generation with VEO 3.1 and honestly the result wasn't that bad, spent in total around 30$ for a few shots (haven't tried Kling yet, will test it out for the next ad).
Everything was pretty quick and easy to do but now the worst part ever: compile all the stuff together in CapCut. I need to put all the videos, trim them a bit, add captions, background music, integrate my app screen recordings too.
Doing it for the first time so expecting to spend a good few hours but once done, next ones will be much faster.
Can't wait to finish it anf plug it into the Google Ads to see how it performs.

Yeah, SEO is dead. (Nope)
One of my micro SaaS projects has finally awakened and brought me a few more paying users!
I'm marketing it with SEO only, publishing a new blog post every day. I've also added new backlinks and even paid for a couple of them, but it's already paid off.

Mom, I made it! I’m not only a mobile indie hacker anymore, now SaaS too 😀 Got my first payment and my first MRR in Stripe! 🚀

@dayonefoundry solid 💪 just arrived to Da Nang with @Titou_oz . We are locking in here to do the same, would be a pleasure to connect with any builders :)
English
These 2 guys:
Dropped out of college
Moved to Da Nang to cut their burn rate
Bunked together in a $200 apartment
Ate $1 meals
Connected with the builder community
Locked TF in
Shipped features quickly
Learned for their mistakes
Sought out advice from builders with more MRR
Didn't quit when progress was stagnant for months
And now they just generated $11k revenue in 2 weeks and have a roadmap to build a $100k MRR SaaS around their success.
Tony Dinh@tdinh_me
~1 year ago, I met two guys who moved to Da Nang, living on $500/mo building an indie startup full-time. We met again last week, and they showed me this. $11k revenue in the last two weeks! Congrats @AntonioEscudero and @PabloSantanaT 👏👏👏

To everyone wasting time in App Store Connect & Google Play Console, here's a way to automate your localization, pricing & app screenshots upload
Jean@willame_jean
You shipped your app. You got a few downloads. You added features. Still flat. The problem isn't your product. It's that 90% of the world can't even find it. We started localized and got many more download. We built the tool to productize it : storemanager.14x.app
