Haven't posted here in ~6 months. Last time I was active, I went from 0 → 1k followers in 3 months, mostly by meeting people building cool stuff. Now I'm back with a new goal: meet as many indie builders as I can and actually test what they're building. I'm putting $1,000 aside to buy and try your apps. Time to start again 🚀

I see developers arguing about which AI model writes better code. Meanwhile, someone with zero coding experience just shipped their third product this month.

We're going to have millions of AI-generated apps. Most will look the same. Most will solve the same problems. Most will have zero users. The real skill is knowing what NOT to build.

What's one tool, library, or AI skill that genuinely improved your workflow this month? Not the most hyped one. The one you actually use.

I've started spending my own money trying apps built by people I meet on X. Already made my first purchase. If you've launched something recently, tell me what makes it worth trying. I might become your next customer.

Good morning to everyone building something nobody asked for yet. One day they'll understand.

Would you rather have 100k followers on X or a SaaS making $10k MRR?

Someone out there has built an amazing product with 12 users. And nobody knows it exists. I want to find those projects

At this point, knowing how to prompt Claude is becoming more valuable than knowing how to code. A lot of developers aren't ready for that conversation.

Some of you spend 3 weeks picking a tech stack for an app that could've been built in 3 days.

$1M cash today or $10k MRR from your own SaaS forever?

I want to find the next indie app worth paying for. Already bought one from someone who replied to my posts. Who's next?

Hot take: paying $200/month for Claude doesn't make you a 10x developer. It just makes you a developer with a $200 subscription.

Monday again. Who's building something instead of pretending to work today?

Building in public is slowly becoming a bunch of people selling to other people who are also trying to sell something. Where are the actual customers?

What's the most expensive mistake you've made while building a side project? Money, time, or both.

Sunday is for discovering new projects. I have $996 left of my $1,000 budget to try indie apps. If you've built something I can actually use today, send it my way. Paid apps welcome.

I don't get why people still spend months building an MVP in 2026. If you can't ship a first version in a couple of weeks with AI, you're probably overengineering it.

Sunday morning check-in. Who's actually taking a day off, and who's already opened their laptop?

AI coding tools are creating a generation of developers who can ship entire apps but can't debug a simple issue without asking Claude.
