Incredible, we did it!
@supastarter
crossed $100k revenue 🔥🤯
I am so stoked and thankful for all the support from the
#buildinpublic
community. This would not have been possible without you ❤️
Today I am starting a new daily tweet series on helpful tools for developers and designers:
👨🏼💻 Daily dev tips

✨
@tailwindcss
quick tip ✨
You can create a beautiful border gradient effect by stacking to divs and giving first one a background gradient and the second one a filled background 💅🏼
Let me know, what tips you would like to see next 🚀

It's just incredible. What started as a silly side project 9 months ago, now made me $3k+ the third month in a row 🔥
And you can probably call this 🍜 ramen-profitable now, all thanks to
#buildinpublic
🤯
Let's see where we can take it🚀
✨ TailwindCSS Quick Tip ✨
➡️ Snap scroll to elements
💡 Use snap-y or snap-x to automatically let the scrolling (vertically or horizontally) snap to an element.
Five months ago I started
@supastarter
as a small side project, not knowing if it would be worth anything to anyone 🤔
1st month: € 190 🎉
2nd month: € 145 🤔
3rd month: € 426 😏
4th month: € 362 😊
5th moth: € 2050 🔥
Learning: Keep going and be patient 🚀
This is incredible 🤯
I am actually coding on an iPad with an external monitor using
@github
codespaces 🔥
Something like this would have been unimaginable a few years ago
Indie hackers, what is ramen-profitability for you? 🍜 💶
For me living in Germany it is about €4.5k - €5k which is actually not that easy to reach 😅
Let me know what yours is and why 🎉
Can't believe what's going here 🤯
Another morning, another Stripe notification and around 60 new followers since yesterday 🎉
Seems like the commitment and marketing finally pays off a bit 🚀
What are your plans for today, friends? ☀️
For me, it's refactoring supastarter 👨🏼💻
On Sunday I turned 27 and since my last birthday I made $35k+ with indie hacking, compared to $2k the year before 🔥
Until my next birthday I want to reach $60k (starting from zero today), let's see if we can get there 🚀

✨ Tailwind CSS quick tip
➡️ Scroll margin
🤯 This blew my mind, when I found out it possible.
💡 Use scroll margin to scroll to an element with offset. This is super useful when you have a fixed header on your page and want to scroll to a section.

🏁 Another milestone
After switching to
@lmsqueezy
in February supastarter has finally crossed the €10k mark there, making it €15k+ in total now (prev Stripe) 🤯
It's incredibly motivating and I am really thankful for all your support 🔥
Crosses 1500 followers today 🤯
I have been actively growing my twitter audience for 6 months now. Here is how many new followers I got each month:
Aug: 15 🚀
Sep: 45 😏
Oct: 44 🤫
Nov: 179 🥳
Dec: 458 🤩
Jan: 661 (so far) 🔥
➡️ Engagement & consistency are the keys to success
After countless variations of my logo redesign here is the result for now 🔥
I need to sleep some nights to make a final decision, but I love it so far!
Thank you all for you feedback 🚀
Alright, let's revive daily
@tailwindcss
tips with a new design for the new year ✨
➡️ size-* utility
Since v3.4 you can now use size-* to set width and height at the same time.
What a morning friends ☕️🚀
I just found out supastarter is listed as the top boilerplate on , which is super awesome 🤯
Besides that I woke up to two new Stripe notifications, crossing € 4000 revenue in total!
Motivation is on 🔥
Enjoy your coffee!
After
@vercel
announced vercel storage yesterday I am incredibly excited for the next announcements of their ship week! 🔥
What you think it could be?
My guess is that it has something to do with auth 👀 We'll know in less than 3 hours.
Took a week off to go on a beautiful ski vacation and this was the view for the last days ☀️❄️
Just realised again, how important some rest is for indie hackers 💤
Now recovered to get back to work on supastarter 🚀
How was your week?

#14
I completely underestimated the power of pricing.
Last week I increased the price of supastarter from $149 to €299.
The result is a mind-blowing revenue of €1210 in one week🤯
Higher price ➡️ Increased perceived value ➡️ more sales
Tailwind CSS quick tip ✨
➡️ text-balance
Ever had the problem, that your headline broke into a new line strangely on a certain viewpoint?
Well no longer, because with text-balance your text will always be perfectly balanced for every width!
Don't know what to say 🤯 Not even 2 months ago I was far below 1k followers and now it's already 2k!
Just a huge thanks to everyone following me on my journey and I promise will keep the content coming 🔥
Wow, supastarter ended up in the top 20 on ProductHunt with over 100 upvotes 🤯
thanks so much to everyone for all the support! 🎉🚀
Now back to bug fixing and more marketing!
#buildinpublic
Ending October with unbelievable numbers for
@supastarter
🤯
💸 $25k total revenue ($6k this month)
👨👩👧 100+ developers using it to build their SaaS
📈 2.7k visitors on the landing page this month
Let's get back to work 🔥
Have a good week everyone! 🚀
Wow I can't believe it 🤯
Just crossed 4000 followers and therefore reached the first goal for this month 🥳
Now on to the second goal, releasing
@supastarter
v2 by the end of the month. Still 14 days to go 🚀
Quick announcement 📣
@supastarter
v2 (coming soon) will be using
@shadcn
UI (components built with
@tailwindcss
and
@radix_ui
).
I first started building someone similar based on
@ark_ui_
, but what they offer there is soo good.
I am pretty sure you are going to like it 🔥
My biggest mistake of supastarter:
🔴 Price too low
- started at $49
- increased to $99, $149, $199, $249, $349
- now at $299 again
Why $299? This is the price I got the most sales with over time, but I might increase it in the future.
Quick announcement 📣
I am taking a week off from Twitter to get some headspace and focus on building 🧑💻
I‘ll be back with
#buildinpublic
and Tailwind CSS tips next week 🙏
Keep hacking, friends 🚀
It's

✨TailwindCSS quick tip
➡️ Color opacity
💡 You can quickly give a color (e.g. text color or bg color) opacity by adding the value with a slash:
text-blue-500/90
bg-pink-100/10
Or use arbitrary values like text-blue-500/[.03]
✨
@tailwindcss
quick tip ✨
➡️ Divide items
Using the divide-x or divide-y class you can easily add dividers to a list of items (horizontally and vertically).
This is especially useful for navigations or lists 💅🏼
Indie hackers and bootstrappers, it’s

➡️
It’s like Vercel but for servers, databases and containers. Sync server code from a GitHub repo and have automatic deployments within seconds.
Brilliant developer experience and really good pricing 🔥
