's first 20 startups were just content
i never understood how building loads of gimmicky apps, each with low revenue potential, led to huge success
but each app was content
that built an audience
around a community
that he now serves with real businesses

Indie Hacking is brutal.
Just as I start to get traction for the 1st time ever - after years of failed attempts, reality kicks me down again.
I don’t wanna cry about it, but I wanna work through my feelings in this thread - cos I can't sleep.

Hardest 2 weeks of my life.
Rushed our newborn to the emergency room because he was vomiting and passed out.
Since then he’s been in intensive care but today he’s finally stable enough for the children’s ward.
Never felt love or fear like this. So grateful he’s improving.

Early days of indie hacking are emotionally exhausting.
My self esteem has become tied to:
⚖️ How much progress I make on my project
⚖️ How I'm doing on Twitter
Only probs is this fluctuates ALL the time.
Q for more experienced peeps - does this get easier?

Then another guy kinda bragged that he made his own copy in a couple of hours.
Both of these guys were people I'd given free beta access to - so it felt like an kick in the gut that it had been shamelessly copied.

Honestly It's demoralising when you keep trying & failing. Deep down I feel like a loser.
It gets harder and harder to justify giving up family time to work on another project with a track record like mine.

It’s terrifying being a dad and loving something this much.
Never felt joy like when Arlo smiles at me. It’s literally exhausting how much happiness flows through me while I’m with him.
