Indie Hacker Trap: Building for ‘everyone’ means resonating with no one.

Why niching down wins:
- Laser-focused messaging
- Less competition
- Faster feedback

How to niche:
- Pick a industry/role you get
- Build only for them
- Expand after they love it

Stop trying to ‘innovate.’ Most indie success comes from improving existing solutions, not inventing new ones.

You don’t need to grind 18-hour days to build a successful SaaS. In fact, burning out might be why your last project failed.

#buildinpublic

Building in public is a rollercoaster.

Today’s win: 10 new users.
Tomorrow’s crisis: a bug nukes your database.

The truth:
✅ You’ll feel unstoppable one day.
✅ You’ll want to quit the next.

But here’s the secret:
The community is your safety net. We’ve all been there.

If your SaaS isn’t making money, you’re not a founder you’re a hobbyist.

Building for “passion” pays in likes, not rent.

Why I’m nervous:

- What if no one cares?
- What if it breaks instantly?
- What if I’m way in over my head?

💡 What’s the ONE mistake you made early in your career that taught you the most?

AI will eat a lot of jobs.

Because it’ll make entrepreneurship 100x easier, pushing more people towards it.

- Solopreneurship will be the new trend
- Competition will be the hardest
- Big companies will shrink

Don’t miss the AI wave.

Never underestimate what you can build with code.

💡 What’s the ONE mistake you made early in your career that taught you the most?

#buildinpublic

Start with:

1. Talking to users

2. Validating the problem

3. Building the smallest version possible

#buildinpublic

Start that side project.

Write that first line of code.

Ship something, anything.

Progress > perfection.

#buildinpublic

What’s your "unfair advantage" as a founder?

#buildinpublic

The secret to shipping faster:
Stop overengineering.

Your first version doesn’t need to:

- Scale to 1M users
- Have perfect code
- Look like a Fortune 500 product

It just needs to solve a problem.

What’s the most underrated SaaS marketing strategy?

Give value first, then monetize.

Example: Build something free that generates traffic, then offer a paid service your audience actually needs.

#buildinpublic

What’s one thing you wish you knew before starting your first SaaS?

For me, it was realizing that marketing is just as important as coding. You can build the best product in the world, but if no one knows about it, it doesn’t matter.

What’s your biggest struggle when starting a new project?

#buildinpublic

Why do we spend so much time perfecting ideas instead of just shipping them?

#buildinpublic

Stop chasing shiny new tools master the fundamentals, solve real problems, and ship consistently. That’s how you win. 🚀

Some days, you’re crushing it.

Other days, you’re Googling “how to center a div” for the 47th time.

Other days, you’re Googling “how to center a div” for the 47th time.

Stop asking, ‘Will this work?’
Start asking, ‘What will I learn if it doesn’t?’

Every failure is just a stepping stone to something better.

#buildinpublic

What’s harder - building the product or finding the people who actually want it?

#buildinpublic

Authentication question

Magic links vs. email/password

what’s your go-to and why?

#buildinpublic

Here’s a lesson I wish I learned earlier:

Your first 100 users don’t care about your fancy features.

They care about one thing: Does this solve my problem?

#buildinpublic

What’s one thing you’ve been overthinking that you could just ship today?

#buildinpublic

Your first 10 followers won’t care about your product.
Your first 100 followers will care a little.
Your first 1,000 followers will start to believe in you.

But it all starts with showing up

#buildinpublic

Building in public is like showing your rough draft to the world.

It’s messy. It’s uncomfortable. But it’s also where the magic happens.

Start building!

#buildinginpublic

Here’s a harsh truth I learned the hard way:

You can build the most beautiful app in the world, but if no one knows about it, it doesn’t matter.

Marketing isn’t optional. It’s part of the job.

#buildinpublic

Progress > Perfection.

You don’t need a polished product to start sharing. You don’t need 10,000 followers to make an impact.

You just need to start.
