I studied at IIT Delhi, worked for 5 years amazon & at a startup based in US. Yet 2 months of indie hacking has been most fulfilling & full of learnings. I started indie hacking during a sabbatical but this is so much fun. Who's the best indie hacker you know?.

My first startup is now profitable 🎉. While building an App, I created flutter starter sit to help myself ship apps much faster. I bought a website, documented it well & made it live. This was a byproduct of what I'm building & it's now profitable in its first week :).

Everyone knows what’s entrepreneurship. But I am trying something different - it’s called Indie Hacking. During my time at Amazon and Real Vision, my work was limited to backend but I wanted full ownership. Here is a mega thread on what’s Indie Hacking! 🧵.

Our parents are struggling in Varanasi after doing nothing wrong in life. Someone wants to just take over his property & has been threatening them. We've filed the complaint last night & there's no action that has been taken. This is absolutely horrible. Law & order needs to be.
🚨 Urgent Appeal for Justice 🚨. I'm in the US right now & it's so painful to see my father suffer with thugs trying to take up his property with Police literally looking the other way. I'm posting this on behalf of my father in case X can help. A senior citizen, Mr. Rajendra.

People often say that I should not be working on indie projects because I went to IIT. That’s a script we’ve been told about. Chasing brands. Reality is that I got more done in the last 2 months than my 2 years at Amazon. Don’t think, do the thing.

🚨 Shipping my new app to help you focus!. In a world full of distractions, it's hard to get yourself focused. I've read some books to help you reverse hack your productive time. When we're working constantly, we often get tired. Pomodoro is a technique where you focus for 25.

I’ve heard so many people who have amazing ideas but can’t build it because they don’t have a technical cofounder. If you’ve an indie idea that can be built by 1 engineer - share them in this thread & I’ll build one of them. I’ll also share 10% of lifetime revenue with you! :).

Starting from nothing, I got so much traction from X on day 1! It's a no brainer for people to invest time on X. I'm trying to build a single person company & doing SEO or investing in ads would take so much time for same results. It's such a no brainer to spend $12 on X

I left my job to be an indie maker. I launched my first product & it didn’t get featured & it didn’t do too well. Being from a good school & working at great companies, it crushed my confidence. But at the same time, it was such an amazing humbling experience, one I’ve never.
I’ve loved Product Hunt since I first discovered it in 2014. This take from Nico actually stings. For Product Hunt to realize its potential in 2024, with the abundance of talented builders and inspired products, it needs one thing above all: . Interesting products on the.

The most time-consuming parts of software development:. - Deciding on that perfect variable name.- Cleaning up code without breaking.- Writing good tests.- Debugging errors on deployment . It’s the small stuff that takes the most time, but it all adds up to quality :). What eats

Coding is 90% reading, 10% writing. With copilot and all the new AI based tools, speed of writing code has definitely increased 10x - but reading speed? Still feel the same. What do you think? I still rely on good old documentation. 😁.

What’s the hack?. Indie (independent) hackers are individuals who build, ship and market product/service themselves. “Hacking” term is used to refer to a mindset of creatively solving problems, often with limited resources.

I just launched my first project as a solopreneur. I couldn't find a good starter kit when I was coding an app using Flutter, so I built one. I'm enjoying building apps using this as a base, I'm sure you will too. Check it out on Product hunt :).

Build the quickest way to solve the problem at hand or MVP to validate your idea. Reach out to community to get your product/service to customers. Once you have a few customers, iterate based on user feedback and continuously improve your product.

How to be successful at Indie Hacking? . Indie hacking is hard! It can be overwhelming to do all the development and promotions alone. Initially, it is important to pick the tech stack you’re already familiar with and use all the available tools in the market.
