Thanks, James! Good question — but definitely not something that’s a problem today, since we just started yesterday. 😊

At the moment, founders can only book one slot per month. Maybe a paywall could reduce this risk in the future.

What would you do?

Each one takes over for a short time to launch, test, or tell their story — before passing the torch.

Every pop-up adds momentum to the next.

A living showcase of what’s being built right now.

Feel free to add your product. I am super excited.

Dear #Indiehacker, this post is for you.

The web used to feel alive — full of moments. We’re bringing that energy back.

Popup.so is a virtual pop-up space: a single domain that rotates between founders.

text-decoration-style: wavy; should be used more often.

It's coming soon. 🎉

Markdown export on Facet.ink: own your words, publish anywhere.

Would you use it?

Good. Maybe refine the contrast, font sizes, and alignment of the elements a bit.

Nailed it.

Just found this old, very playful draft of the Facet logo. I guess we made the right decision, but it's super interesting to see how iteration can lead to change.

Updated iOS a few days ago and have to admit: I like Liquid Glass. 😊

Facet.ink

And it looks great, too. For writers and readers:

👉 To everyone still exporting eBooks or long texts as PDFs:

Check out facet.ink and compare the difference.

Your readers will thank you and I will too. ✨❤️

That’s why we built facet.ink differently.

We don’t just optimize the writing experience for authors — we also give readers the best possible reading experience.

On any device. Without the hassle.

Why?

📥 200 MB downloads
🔎 Constant zooming & scrolling
📱 No reading comfort on mobile devices

A PDF is made for printing, not for reading.

Every time I search for “free ebook” on social media, I notice the same thing:

Endless eBooks offered as PDFs. 🤯

For longer texts, let’s be honest —that’s one of the worst choices for readers. 😊

How do you shape software features from idea to final concept in teams with 2 or more members? How do you align on the potential scope?

Oh wow, may I ask what kind of product it was?

It might sound a bit crazy, but I love the idea so much that I really want to turn it into a tangible product. I’m already working on the prototype.

I’m thinking about building a hardware device. Have any of my followers done something similar and brought it to market? What were the biggest challenges you faced?

We just launched Essays on Facet!

Not every idea needs a book — some are stronger in fewer words.

Now you can publish essays or books, depending on what your message needs.

Would love your thoughts: facet.ink/publishings/... (example)

I think AI will be able to build software, but it won’t replace what makes businesses competitive — brand, trust, creativity, and emotional connection. Tech progress isn’t always linear. Some innovations plateau, while others change the game. The future is for those who master human differentiation.

Epic idea

Me four years ago. Nobody listened. Now we have the Schlamassel. 😊

Btw: It has been a major inspiration for the design of the Nela protocol.

Chinese Checkers is a delightful board game with a beautifully elegant interface that every UI designer should know. The goal is simple: move all your pieces to the home base using two primary actions — hopping and stepping. That’s it.

Focus is definitely an important ingredient for success.
