Progress Update:
Able to publish an Instagram post effortlessly in @vibe_genie 🥳

#indiehackers #indiehacking #buildinpublic
Launching on HN should be in the standard Startup Launch Playbook along with launching on PH, Indie Hacker, etc.

A great place for early adopters, developers, and tech enthusiasts.

#Buildinpublic #indiehacking #indiehackers #hackernews #Entrepreneur #ProductHunt
Fun activity: reading Hacker News launch comments for startups that made it big.

A few notable examples:

Brex news.ycombinator.com/item?id=174188…

Solugen news.ycombinator.com/item?id=155532…

Retool news.ycombinator.com/item?id=177259…

Stripe news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3053883

Dropbox news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8863
Made some progress today, and will start using the Instagram API to post content tomorrow!

I finally managed to get the Drips landing pages looking nice for mobile! Check it out:

#buildinpublic #indiehacking
Hmm, my MVP looks great on desktop but mobile is a disaster. At what point do I mobile-optimize?

The app is best used on desktop (you have to type much), but most first time visitors are on mobile ... 🤔

#buildinpublic #indiehacking
What other social media platforms do you use besides Twitter?

#buildinpublic #indiehacking #indiehackers #buildinginpublic
@Iam_LauraD Yeah, but they're very different from #indiehacking #buildinpublic canon. I prefer quiet, soft launches. As soon as I fix this deploy, it goes to 5 friends. Then 10 beta testers. Then official announcement on website. 🤷

Good Morning! ☕️
Going to do some deep work on vibe-genie.app today 🎧

#buildinpublic #indiehacking #productdesign #indiehackers
Feeling torn about the "ship fast" culture in #IndieHacking and #buildinpublic 🫠Guilty for not keeping up, but I do enjoy the process and love my craft.

Anybody else relate? Know any "build slow" success stories?
In the next release version of vibe-genie.app, a color picker is added to modify the color palette and photos can be categorized accordingly with the change 😃✨

after a few weeks of tweeting, i finally hit 500 following!

thanks to everyone that made this possible

I don't believe the people who write they ship in a week. I would never pay for a product that is ready in just one week, because then I would program it myself.

#buildinpublic #indiehacking #indiehackers #buildinginpublic #softwaredev #softwaredeveloper
Sometimes you see code you wrote a few weeks ago and ask yourself: Why did I do that?

When people ask me how #indiehacking and #freelancing is going I send this 👇🤣🤣

I think there's a lot of value in learning via reading.

Sure — you can learn through brute force failure, but first principles are crucial.

Finding the balance between a day job and indie hacking can be tough, but the #buildinpublic community is always here to support each other. Remember to take breaks, recharge, and come back stronger. It's a marathon, not a sprint. 💪🏼 #indiehacking #Productivity
Almost finished the static part of the UI revamp of @vibe_genie, can work on the functionality soon! #buildinpublic #indiehackers #indiehacking

I like how #freelancing and #indiehacking plays out for me.

I use my indiehacking projects as part of my portfolio to get freelance gigs.

And then I use some of the revenue I make on my freelance work , to support my indiehacking journey 😊

Full circle ⭕

#buildinpublic
Just because you're a solo founder doesn't mean you're always alone...

Hello bugs, my old friends. 🐞💼
#buildinpublic #indiehacking
I think I have finally found my "flow"🥳

I can effortlessly switch between my #freelancing and #indiehacking projects.

I pretty much treat my freelancing like a 9-5, and my indiehacking as a side hustle 😌

Have you found your flow yet - what does it look like/?
#buildinpublic
I got laid off last friday!

Super scary 😧
but a huge chance 🚀

My goal: 3.000$ MRR within 6 months from #indiehacking

➡️ If you‘d like to help, collaborate, share ideas - I‘d be more than happy to chat ❤️

#buildinpublic #NewBeginnings
Is #indiehacking and building a small tech business viable for everyone? I feel like some people are falling for its appeal and not realizing there are more important things in their life they have to take care of first.

#buildinpublic #business #techtwitter
struggled a little bit using Instagram Graph API initially! the good news is I can publish a single post using the API itself eventually 🔥 🚀

#buildinpublic #indiehacking
Did get more clarity after converting scattered thoughts into a to-do list.

Are you a To-Do-List person or a Not-To-Do-List person?

What are your social media logins that you use? I use Apple, Google and Facebook. I have a large portion covered with these. Nearly 60% use the social login function

#buildinpublic #indiehacking #indiehackers #buildinginpublic
I think a completely simple MVP is just too little. The user should get a feeling of what is possible with the product.

#buildinpublic #indiehacking #indiehackers #buildinginpublic
discipline is not just required for “when to start working”, but also about “when to stop working” — the right timing to start and to end is how sustainability is achieved

one lesson learned from converting my landing page into more mobile-responsive is:

#tailwind is designed to be mobile-first, I should have started a mobile-first design

How do you manage several projects at the same time? I always focus on one project for a certain time, then I wait to see if the new features/functions in the project are successful. In the meantime I have time for other projects.

what's the best advice you've received or could give to someone starting their #indiehacking journey? 🤔

Over the past few years, we've seen a surge in solo founders.

And the trend isn't going anywhere 🌟

Staying resilient and persistent is key.

What are your tips for maintaining motivation on this solo journey?

#buildinpublic #indiehacking
The end user doesn't see the framework used, so it doesn't really matter if you use React, Angular, Flutter or whatever!

But I need the kick every now and then to have learned a new framework, so I also like to take the time and learn something new #buildinpublic #indiehacking
Who uses Twitter not only as a means of communication but also as a kind of diary? I use it partly to just write down my thoughts.

If it has to go fast with product validation I try to post directly in online communities where relevant customers are present, then you get directly the right traffic, at least until you are blocked.

Releasing 1 feature is better than developing 1000 features

agree?

What would happen if more and more content is written by @ChatGPT and less and less by "real" people. Would it then eventually run out of steam? ❓ #buildinpublic #indiehacking #indiehackers #buildinginpublic
of a few days ago.

Why am I telling you all this?

Because if you're #indiehacking or #buildinpublic and you're not building an MVP in a week like all those young 'uns whippersnappers, I think you shouldn't feel bad at all.
How i do pricing: Since I mostly develop projects that I use myself, I estimate it according to my own feelings. And then I add 50%. Not the best strategy 💲You?

So if you don't know how to build something initially, don't worry, it happens to most SW engineers, even older ones. What distinguishes the good engineers from the bad ones is that the good ones learn, and fast.

Most of the time you invest 1-2 months of work in an MVP, which you can save if you see that nobody is interested in the landing page. So validate first with a simple landing page and try to get some waiting list signups✉️

#buildinpublic #indiehacking
I have never built a successful startup company or product. Instead, I have failed multiple times 😓

But oh boy, did a learn a lot!

Consistency is the key

#buildinpublic #indiehacking
Don't promote your product directly, just write what you do. Share your key learnings and technical info. Product info rarely gets good engagement. 🚀

#buildinpublic #indiehacking #indiehackers #buildinginpublic #softwaredev #softwaredeveloper
You know what doesn't work? Trying random fixes and praying to the gods it works by magic. Don't do that, ever! Step by step instead. Find the cause first, then fix. Don't do things up-side down.

#debugging #SWdevelopment #indiehacking #buildinpublic
To avoid overwhelming my audience, I schedule 50% of my posts. I generate around 10 tweet ideas daily, but scheduling them for later allows me to take a break for 1-2 days when I'm occupied with coding or other tasks. ⌚⌚⌚

🚀 Aiming to launch Ellen AI on product hunt by this weekend

📣 Announcement & website tomorrow

👉 Pre-sale also goes live tomorrow

Glad I’m finally taking action & launching my first project ✨

Guess the pre-sale price? 👇

#indiehacking #buildinpublic
What should I do😭

I have a #freelance client I have been working with for 1.7+ years.

Not on different projects🥹On ONE project, with 50 unshipped versions

Working with him is good for my Revenue, but my experience in #indiehacking wants to FORCE him to ship?

#buildinpublic
Do you also have fun projects? I built a credit calculator a few months ago (German: kredit-app.net) - absolutely no ulterior motives to earn something with it someday. Fun projects must also be allowed!

Couldn't take my Sunday Rest today🥹

Decided to take a small #freelance project

Now ofcourse, compared to #indiehacking ,this is like resting for me. lol

Besides, the month is ending soon- someone has to pay those bills👀
