this is my first ever vlog. the camera quality isn’t the best but hey, we move 😅 honestly, I almost didn’t record it. but I’m pushing past the fear and showing up anyway. let me know what you think

while everyone’s out on a saturday night, i’m deep in code mode. shipping till it ships me to the top

i’ve been quietly building growlycs in stealth mode , just shipping and sharing my progress. the early version is finally ready. now it’s time to start talking about it. i’m sending out a few DMs, aiming to onboard just 10 early users to help shape what growlycs becomes.

i built this app in just few hours to help me during presentations

been there, motivation gone, everything feels heavy, and quitting starts to sound like peace. but every time, i remind myself why i even started. that spark, that reason, it’s still there. your ‘why’ is your fuel. reconnect with it. that’s how you keep going.

finally recorded a short video explaining why i am building growlycs. it’s a problem we early-stage SaaS founders often overlook but it can quietly hold back your growth if ignored. check out the video and let me know what you think and how you go about this issue as a SaaS…

that’s how it starts, all the top builders and creators experienced this phase so don’t give up yet

i built this app in just 2 hours using v0 + windsurf needed something to help me stay on track while talking or doing a presentation. this era is wild, you can build stuff anytime

i’ve been procrastinating for a while but today i’m finally sitting down to figure out the marketing framework for growlycs it’s in beta now, and the goal is simple, talk to a few founders, get at most 10 onboard, and shape the product into something truly useful

i got to understand this a few months ago, building a brand as a developer really matters i used to just stay anonymous, coding stuff no one asked for but being on x has taught me a lot, especially about building real connections online

your personal brand will get you more jobs than your resume ever will

after doomscrolling on x today, one thing hit me: don’t just chase followers, build real connections. engaged followers > empty numbers.

when you decide to build, you can’t rest, your mind keeps racing. but when you don’t build, you’re still restless, wondering what if it actually worked? either way, it lives in your head. so you might as well build it.

yesterday I decided to make my first video to overcome this anxiety of not posting my self online… Yeah even though it was not that good, I’m proud of myself for taking this milestone

wtf is going on… I gain 10 followers today, wake up tomorrow, and they’ve vanished. are they bots? is X just messing with my head? or does the algorithm just like gaslighting indie hackers for fun?

best advice from today’s doomscrolling on X: share your journey. document where you are, where you’re headed. don’t wait to be “interesting”, you already are. someone out there needs to see your now, not just your after. just post it.
