what’s your build in public approach? what kinds of details do you focus on sharing?

i think that kind of connection is so much better than the online stuff

also, those bangs on the left remind me of the top of a fence

what do you do for good marketing? I’m at that stage right now and it’s more difficult than building

you see bug, i see cool feature

That’s the only notification I want lol

lol sorry I meant agentic but my phone apparently would prefer I were a biostatistician

I launched artsypetz to sell physical products instead of only digital. Then I stood up an MVP of genetic workflows to help with content generation because it takes up too much of my time and takes me away from building/marketing

this one hits hard

this assumes that non ai code isn't also a security nightmare

a super elaborate thumbnail makes me not click on it

like a wework that doesnt completely suck

focusing on the long term why

you get to keep all the lessons you learn from mistakes!

Took a gamble and booked a solo work-cation to focus. Condensed months of side-hustle into 2 weeks. Launched new products, learned marketing, and remembered why I love building things.

Turns out, creativity hits different when you’re not exhausted

Anyone else done the same?

I think this would be great!

If you’re indie hacking, solopreneuring, or dreaming of escaping the 9-5… let’s connect! 🙏

I started building. I created artsypetz.com — custom, affordable pet portraits you can order as wall art, clothes, mugs, and bags.

It got paying customers early on and that felt unbelievable.

I rebuilt my personal site by ditching Squarespace and learning next.js + React to make it myself.

I recognized my technical/creative skillset. I realized people in Jarvis’ book shared a similar skillset. They built products/offered services with a focus on the freedom that came with autonomy.

I wanted that autonomy so my family could make big life decisions w/o needing “permission” from work.

I’m CJ — a data engineer with a master’s in data science. I always thought the only way forward was climbing the ladder but I wanted more freedom and autonomy.

Then I read “Company of One” by Paul Jarvis and realized I need to change something.

Here's what I changed 🧵

Oh boy I went through all of them. Thanks for building that great resource!

Can any of your smart people help a smooth brain like me connect with indie hackers and solopreneurs? 🙏🚀
