6 months ago, I read this post by Tony Dinh: news.tonydinh.com/p/my-soloprene… It changed my mindset. I started coding my own project. Quit my job when it made ~$200. Now it’s made $1,000 in total , and today @tdinh_me followed me back . What a full-circle moment 🥹

Revenue over the past 6 months as a solo indie hacker: Feb: $105 Mar: $80 Apr: $9.8 May: $10 Jun: $254 Jul: $590 Last 2 months made more than all previous 4 months combined. What I learned: - Show your paid features early - Build around what people will pay for - Don’t…

I can’t build in public. I’m scared someone will see my idea and build it faster than me.

Most people start building a SaaS with an exciting idea. But around 70% done, doubt kicks in. “Is this even a good idea?” So they stop. And it never leaves localhost. Why does this happen?

I got 2 sales today, small wins add up ✍️ A @polar_sh notification always feels special !

I’m building a tool that generates images from user input. For long-term storage, what’s the better option: AWS S3 or Cloudinary?

My website got over 3,000 clicks. Truth is: my sales skill is zero. No upsells. No CTAs. No email capture. Just a “cool project” people visit… and leave. Still, I’m learning. Still building. One mistake at a time.

The hardest part of being a solo indie maker: The dead-silent days. - No users. - No sales. - No progress. Every. Damn. Day.

Switching from 9-5 to solo founder is easy. Switching back is almost impossible. Once you taste freedom, you can’t un-taste it.

I dropped out of college in my 2nd year. Spent the next 4 years working as a software developer. Quit my 9-5 four months ago and burned through my savings. Now I’m a full-time solo founder: → Built 7 products → 5 failed → 1 made $1,000 in revenue Still here. Still building.…

People overcomplicate B2C APPS This is my formula: → Start with a real pain → Ship in 7 days → Hard paywall → DM 100 influencers a day → Close a CPM deal → Wait for a viral video → Track feedback → Repeat It’s really that simple..

When building your product, do you care about copyrights? Like: – background music or sound effects – images, icons, GIFs – fonts, stock photos, videos… Or do you just use whatever works and ship fast? I’m starting to think more seriously about this after building a…

24/30 days in, I’ve made $575 this month. Goal is $1K. No idea how I’ll make it , yet!

Non-devs often come up with the most interesting ideas

Everyone said: "AI will replace developer" AI : Delete database on Server 🤡

I feel like Designers go viral on X more easily than Devs. Why is that?

The environment that help me 100% focus: • no noise • no noti • no light just a bright screen
