Amire Steve → Indie Hacker

Everytime you follow through on what you said you'd do, you're telling yourself "My word means something."

When you hit snooze, skip that task or waste the day scrolling, you're saying the opposite.

Treat yourself like someone worth kepping promises to.

Completely relatable! Part of the growth and learning is understanding that:

Stopping early saves months. Quitting ≠ failing; it’s reallocating.

💭 What’s your go-to move when motivation dips?

#startups #shipit

✅ Decision sprint:
pick one pending fork and decide. Momentum is mostly clearing stalled choices.

#productivity #makers

🗣️ Signal sprint:
DM one target user with 1 question: “What’s the last workaround you used for X?”

Zero surveys, just one answer.

#userresearch #founder

🔧 Support sprint:
Fix the smallest user-facing friction (label, copy, load time). Quick win, less churn risk.

#productdesign #ux

⚡️ When motivation is low, I do 3 things that still move the product:
- 10mins of “support sprint” - (fix one papercut),
- 15mins of “signal sprint” - (talk to 1 user),
- 5mins of “decision sprint” - (kill/keep one idea).

New one all the way 🙌🏻
I should be calling you Gameboy! 🤣

Hoenstly, for a dev, being an indieHacker is a dream that seems unreal - until it becomes REAL. Everything you want in one package. 🧘🏻‍♂️🧘🏻‍♂️

I really counting down to that day when I can drop my letter and fully focus on my products and making it better for the world to use ⏱️

Shipping a new feature

Third time's the charm? 🤞

This time I'm doing it right:
• Reading guidelines ✅
• Exploring gradually ✅
• Starting slow ✅
• Learning from mistakes ✅

New to Bluesky? Learn from my mistakes. Explore & engage slowly.

If you see me going too fast... stop me! 😅

#growth #buildinpublic #indiehackers

The lesson: Study before you leap.

I should have:
✅ Read guidelines first
✅ Explored gradually
✅ Started with 1-2 replies/day
✅ Spaced replies hours apart

Instead I:
❌ Explored everything immediately
❌ Replied to 4 posts in 10 min
❌ Looked like a bot twice

Oops. 😂

#lifehacks #buildinpublic

Here's what I learned the hard way:

First: Exploring too fast = bot-like behavior.
Second: Rapid replies = spam detection.

I was so excited I forgot to:
• Read guidelines first
• Understand limits
• Start slow

Enthusiasm is great. Without research? Chaos. 😅

#lessonslearned #indiehackers

So I appealed. Explained I'm a real person, just curious.

They unsuspended me. Even whitelisted my account.

I thought: "Great! Now I can engage properly!"

*replies to 4 posts in 10 min*

Bluesky: "Suspended again"

Me: 🤦‍♂️

3 hours. Suspended twice. Same account.

#relatable #fails #buildinpublic

Me: *joins Bluesky*
Me: *immediately starts exploring*
Me: *adds profile picture*
Me: *checks every hashtag*
Me: *roots through feeds*
Me: *very curious, very excited*

Bluesky: "Suspended for bot-like behavior"

Me: 😳

I was just... exploring? Too enthusiastically?

Rooting for you Martin!
3weeks is 21 days.. it's achievable 🚀 ✊️

Exactly! I'm building NameWatchlist and keeping it simple: one VPS, straightforward deployment.

The "if it works, leave it alone" philosophy is underrated. What's your favorite simple setup tool?

This resonates so much! I'm building a domain search tool and constantly fighting the urge to over-engineer.

What's your process for deciding when to add complexity vs keeping it simple? Do you have a rule of thumb?

If you're on a similar journey (9-5 → indie hacker), building something, or just curious about indie hacking - let's connect!

Always happy to chat about building, shipping, and the messy middle of product development.

Say hi! 👋

#buildinpublic #indiehackers #100DaysOfCode

So I built NameWatchlist 🚀

A tool that:
• Saves your domain search history (auto-save, cloud-synced)
• Monitors availability with automated email alerts
• Never lose track of a great domain idea again

Still at my 9-5, building this on the side.

#microsaas #buildinpublic #IndieDev

Hey Bluesky! 👋

New here! I'm Amire - Frontend Engineer by day, indie hacker by night (and weekends).

After 7+ years building products for others, I'm building something for myself.
