So Ballast is the fitness tracker I built for myself. It's open source for you to do whatever you want with it! 😁 github.com/N-O-P-E/Ballast - Fully customizable - No database, just JSON (export/import your data anytime) - Runs as a PWA, has been a breeze - Been using it for 3 months and honestly it's all I need

@felixrieseberg Is there any reason to move away from the terminal and going for the desktop app now? Can you convince me?

Today is a big day! We're launching a ~ new ~ version of Claude Code in the desktop app. It's been redesigned from the ground up for parallel work and is a lot faster. It's been my main way to use Claude Code for the last few weeks.

@suni_code Is that not the whole idea of the fridge? Controlling the temperature? 😂

Startup Idea: Refrigerator with Claude Integration. It controls the temperature and everything.

@AlxTurovski There are always like minded people with weird schedules, me and my co founder are also on different schedules, but the quick calls and motivating words, exchanging ideas is something that really helps!

@bas_fijneman Connections do help Bas, for sure. Spending some time in the evening here does help. I see where you're coming from with the co-founder, but currently, I can't commit to anyone as my schedule is very unpredictable.

Really falling behind on everything apart from my 9-5. And there's no light at the end of the tunnel. I sure hope when I'm at least half done there, I'll have to start from scratch on solo projects and X. Feeling burned out every evening. Where do I find the strength for solo projects?

@Rasmic Next up: bugs are now called "unexpected routines"

One thing Anthropic is good at is renaming things Instead of cron jobs… call them routines

@david_attisaas It is actually crazy how good these video's are. It is so hard to see what is real and not real anymore, which is a blessing and a curse.

dear ugc creators I've been testing higgsfield - marketing studio and I concluded you're not needed anymore

So, did you define goals with your wife? what helped me, is defining what I want to achieve and in what timespan. This helps her to understand why I do it and why it COULD benefit our own family. Also I mainly do all my building when she and the kids are asleep! Hope this helps a bit!

founders, genuine question for you how do your partners react when you’re 100% focused on building? i always have little quarrels with my wife about my attention. i work 9–5 and build Screen Charm on the side. it takes almost all my time, and sometimes i forget things, which makes my wife upset. she even feels a bit jealous of the product. but at the same time, i feel like without putting in this level of effort, both building and promoting nothing will work. and if you’re not willing to sacrifice a lot, what’s the point of trying? how do you handle it?

@bymarcoperez Gooood validated for sure Marco!

Just made my first renewal sale! Recurring revenue officially unlocked 🔓

@codewithpri That looks very very neat!! Would pay for that 100%

Made this animation in figma 🫡

@wickedguro Nice, any plans or things you are going to change to reach that or just riding the wave now to get there? 🌊

@bas_fijneman Aiming for 1.5 🥶

Postiz passed the $1,000,000 ARR!!!!!!!! whowoo, I can't believe something like that is possible. Just 2 months ago, it was on $250k ARR. Now I believe that your life can change in one month. All because of this goat 🐐! 👇

@LLMJunky Not a cringey post at all Will! Something to be proud of and that you can celebrate right!

I do apologize for the cringey post, but I just really wanted to say thank you for 20K 🫶 I'm a bit overwhelmed and very grateful for all of you. I do my best to follow accounts that engage with me, no matter how big or small. If you're in the AI space, I want to hear from you

@wickedguro Now lets go for that 2m right!

@Bhavani_00007 Phase 1 (1 - 4 weeks) Phase 2 (4-10 weeks)... What do you mean, you will fix this in the next 20 minutes😂 Yes sub-agent driven yes, just do it

No Claude, this isn’t a 3-month project. We will finish it today☺

@sickdotdev So nice that you will have more time for your hobbies 😂 Crazy the glass is half full from claude haha! you will be fine, pivot and adjust!

I’m cooked😭

@ibocodes Certified millionaire now! Congrats man, first step to succes man the first one is always the hardest!

new app made its first sale basically a billion-dollar company now

@AlexBelogubov Congratulations Alexander! That is such a great achievement that 90% of indie hackers only can dream off! Now scale it to 200k!!🔥

I did it! 🔥 It only took me 6 years of indie hacking to achieve this.

@hieudinh_ I would say A for sure, B takes to much of your screenspace. I'd rather have you do something with the podium divs on A

A or B? I like B, but I feel like it could be better
