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 :)

During my time at Amazon and Real Vision, my work was limited to backend but I wanted full ownership.

🚨 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.

I’ve heard so many people who have amazing ideas but can’t build it because they don’t have a technical cofounder.

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 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.

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 :)

This Astro app got me $0 & might be the first addition to the graveyard of my projects.
Should I spend some time & give it another shot next week? The project was a bit broken & didn't have proper payment integration.

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.

SEO: I'd recommend checking out Levelsio. He has cracked SEO for nomad list & he's the most successful indie hacker on the block.
Newsletter: Audiences on any platform isn't owned by you, except newsletters. If you're great at writing, start a newsletter on substack.

You can start indie hacking with just a small idea/problem that you’re passionate about.

What could be done better?
During my tenure at Amazon, shipping in prod was a big deal - there were so many protocols for testing and approvals.
Sometimes it would take weeks. But the process helped me learn the importance of shipping clean.
