After 30 min of work, quit and disappear into the mountains for 30 years.

Most people don't realize that trust-building vehicles like:
• newsletter
• freebies
• content
by themselves won't likely bring you sales.
They still need marketing (= visibility).
Small experiments, measuring results & iterating on the data moves you towards the sale.

Common advice about getting traction for your startup is often generic and missing key information.
"Build a newsletter!"
"Content on social media!"
"Offer a free lead magnet!"
Not wrong, but you need to market your #marketing
Funnels, KPIs, proper targeting, optimize conversions.

Why senior developers never write "clever" code.
Clever code is hard to read.
Hard to debug.
Impossible to maintain.
Your goal isn't to look smart. It's to write simple, boring code that just works.

I don’t think users want “advanced security.” I think they want peace of mind. That’s a very different product to build.

Everyone knows they should do data-first marketing.
But most people look at their numbers & go into emotional shutdown
The fix:
• remove your self-worth from the outcome
• treat it like a fun little experiment
• realize that the right diagnosis increases conversions fast

Added more props to my first Datten map today. It felt way too empty before, so I’m starting to give it more life. I’ve also been pushing the colors a bit so the level pops more. Still plenty more to add! 🎮

Sales tactics like
"you've got 24h to make a decision!"
"only 2h left, then price increases 500%!"
repel me.
When the business has to force people to buy, the question arises how good the product actually is.
Food for thought.

I used to build only on AWS, but their container and DB offerings aren't indie-friendly.
Now I run:
• AWS Lambda + SQS
• Neon database
• Fly io for Nextjs containers
Lambda + SQS is still unmatched for async data, but AWS databases are awful.
Where do you host?

Although most #indiehackers are very technical, they often don't do the math:

(improve your conversions)
• churn can be high for some SaaS
(optimize user happiness & need)
• consider fixed and variable costs
(e.g. decrease via open source)
