Whenever it comes to sales I suddenly have the urge to build something new instead. Ahh!

Validation without failure criteria creates unfinished projects, not completed research.

Thank you, ai?

I'm building an email client for people who use cold emails to grow their businesses! Try the demo yourself - no registration required - at mailcommando.com #indiehackers #solopreneur

I am trying a new strategy for my #indiehacker journey.

No MVPs. No prototypes. No auth. No landing page.

Instead:

Simple clickable UI, one minute screen recording explaining stuff, and a close beta access request form.

The goal is to validate ideas faster.

My portfolio status after 7 weeks. Feels good to look back and see the results!

✅ Portfolio website
✅ First theme published on Gumroad
✅ First theme preview on Shopify
⏳ First technical article on blog
⬜ First e-commerce article on blog
⬜ Shopify Partner verification
⬜ First Fiverr gig

Today, I've polished the preview site of my theme, Coffee World, and added a new, featured product section to the homepage of gaborify.com.

Last week I was learning about LCP optimization for #Shopify stores and practicing it on my own theme, Coffee World. Feels great to see actual results. 😍

Week #7: Motivation Last week my theme, Coffee World, got hard-rejected by ThemeForest. This means that the theme does not live up to their standards - as a matter it's so far off, they won't even provide me feedback.…

This week's blog post is about feelings: disappointment and motivation. 💔

Today, I've continued working on my portfolio website. Quite happy with the About page.

Yesterday evening, I couldn't help myself and started to design my portfolio website. I really fell in love with the color "chartreuse" 😍

My first Shopify theme submission to ThemeForest got hard-rejected. First, I felt devastated. Then I quickly realized: this is just the first of many. There will be many more slaps on the way; no time for self-pity. Let's shift gears, come up with a new strategy, and do the work. 💪
