Build in Public

[video] Hi everyone, I just open sourced OpenBrand - extract any brand's logos, colors, and assets from just a URL. It's MIT licensed, open source, completely free. Try it out at Why we built this: while building another product, we needed to pull in customers'

[video] I build a route optimization engine, 100% in Rust and can run 100% offline. Live demo in browser for San Francisco. Easily calculates 100.000 stops on a laptop (never possible before? And on a laptop). MIT Licence

[image] 3 months of building in public: - $11 profit 🥳 - 950 people decided to follow my journey 🥰 - shipped 4 projects 🚀 - everything so far has failed 😅 It's never easy but showing up daily keeps me going 💪 So here's to all of us building in public 🥂

[image] built a 450k users company in san francisco with: 1 macbook yerba mate dangerous optimism

[image] 1 year ago, I left my 9–5 job after 14 years in corporate. Since then: ❌ 3 MVPs failed ❌ $0 monthly income ❌ ~$200/month tool costs Still, the learning I gained and the audience I built are priceless. Not there yet. Not going back. Saving this tweet for the future.

[image] GM builders, From tomorrow I will be officially self-employed in Germany. Three products already. No sales so far, but I will continue shipping. Lets connect!

[video] Today I tried installing the @shadcn skill into Claude Code and built some components with it. It works exactly as expected, Claude Code picks up the skill and builds everything using shadcnui components. Check it out here →

[image] 1 million Naira bro, just 1 million… that’s all you need, once you make your first 1 million as a techy you’re never going broke again.

[text] After a lot of thinking, I’ve decided to quit indie hacking and go back to a 9-5. The unpredictability, the loneliness, the constant pressure of wearing every hat, every day… it’s just not for me anymore. 🥲 I miss having a manager tell me what to do. I miss pointless

[image] Just submitted my first app to the App Store for review. Wish me luck!

[image] X is shutting down Communities on May 6. Ours, #buildinpublic with 250,000+ members, is one of the largest affected. It's not going anywhere. We're building a new home for it. Reserve your spot (and your username) before May 6:

[image] Software engineers are the happiest people on Earth now. They pay $100/month for Claude Code to do the work. Their employer pays them $10,000/month for the results. $9,900 profit for sipping coffee and talking to AI. The funniest part? Not a single dev with a full-time job

[video] I'm 15. Left games. Left DoomScrolling. Building startups. Goal: Build a $10K/mo SaaS & document everything Progress: Pivoting based on feedback, relaunching soon This can be the best or worst move in my life 🤷‍♂️ (Oh, & building while in school isnt easy)

[image] Not everything has to be celebrated publicly, I just hit 5m impressions and got eligible for creator revenue on x and i never said anything about it . That’s maturity.

[image] After 3yrs into software engineering, I built my first startup “ CalcPro” a premium calculator that lets you pay to see the answers 😊

[text] I see EVERY indie hacker has the same exact problem: Marketing 🙃 I’ve never really seen someone stuck in the building or technical phase. Yet somehow, I still don’t think we’re spending enough time on where the real problem actually is.

[image] So you vibe coded an app, and somehow managed to get Google OAuth working. Congratulations. A shame your visitors bail out, when they see your sketchy Supabase url during signup. I recently found out how easy this is to fix 🤦🏻‍♂️ Here's how to do it, and 10x user trust 🧵

[image] My younger son is nearly 2 years old, and my wife’s maternity period is almost over. So instead of going back to her 9–5, I suggested she become a mobile app developer 😀 so she can work from home and spend more time with us. She’s very much into design but not a tech person,

[image] Just made my first ever SaaS sale 😭🎉 10 minutes after launching Snapester V2 🚀 Honestly… such a crazy feeling seeing something you built actually make money online 🥹 It’s a Chrome extension that makes screenshots look beautiful (just like this one)
