👋 I’m Umar, a full-time software engineer and solo indie hacker.
By day, I work as a software engineer. By night, I build and ship my own products.
Currently building:
• List Maro: A makers-first product directory
listmaro.com
• Expenie: A simple personal finance app
expenie.com
• Shove: A tiny bidding experiment
shove.lol
Self-taught developer with 5+ years of experience, mostly working with TypeScript, React, Node.js, PostgreSQL, Redis, Next.js and AI APIs.
I share the real journey here: what I build, what works, what fails and what I learn along the way.
If you’re into indie hacking, AI products or building in public, follow along.
Genuine question for developers
What's one tool or technology in your tech stack that you absolutely refuse to replace, even if something newer or better comes along?
Good morning everyone, let's start the day with something new.
Let's build more and share more.
Let's connect if we are not connected yet
750 followers crossed! 🚀
We’re getting closer to 1,000.
Really grateful for everyone who follows, engages, shares ideas and supports what I'm building here.
Let's keep building, learning and connecting.
Next stop: 1K. Who's joining the journey? 👀
I will start with mine. I am currently shipping listmaro.com
A busy couple of days at List Maro.
Reworked the product submission flow, rebuilt the homepage, added a proper product showcase, improved upvote credits, and tightened listing rules.
Also shipped better admin moderation, sponsored placements, responsive layouts and a much better weekly newsletter.
Lots of small details, but they all add up to a better product.
Back to building. 🚀
🚨 Vercel New Font
Vercel just introduced their new font, Geist Serif. What are your thoughts on this?
Do you use Geist in your current Next.js application?
Claude just updated their plan names: they are now 5x, called Max, and 20x, called Ultra.
Also they have removed the 5-hour limit from the Ultra plan.
What are your thoughts on this?
We’re renaming our Max plans:
Max 5x → Max
Max 20x → Ultra
Max is still $100/month, and Ultra is still $200. If you’re a subscriber, there’s nothing you need to do.
We’re also removing the 5-hour limit for verified Ultra accounts, starting today with most existing subscribers. Newer accounts keep a temporary limit until they’re verified, which helps us prevent fraud and abuse. You'll get an email when it's removed.
Weekly limits remain unchanged. View our plans here: claude.com/pricing
700 followers! 🥹❤️
Started this journey with a simple goal: connect with builders, share what I'm learning, and build in public.
Every follow, reply, conversation and little interaction means a lot.
We're 700 people here now, and honestly, this feels special.
Thank you for being part of the journey.
Next stop: 1,000. 🚀
Let's keep building, sharing and growing together!
🚨Node.js 27 alpha is out now with `iterator.zip` and `math.sumPrecise`. The default heap is now half of your RAM, which is capped at 4 GB. Also NPM moves to 12 and the major thing is every major release now becomes LDS. Currently it's for testing, not production.
Curious to know what everyone's deployment stack looks like these days.
Where are you deploying your applications and where are you hosting your databases?
Vercel, AWS, Railway, Render, Supabase, Neon or something else?
Would love to see what other builders are using 👀
Just 8 more to hit 700 followers! 👀
Who's going to be number 700?
Drop a hey, let's connect. Always happy to meet more builders here. 🤝
Let's go guys. It's 669 followers. Let's go for 700 followers today. Let's try to achieve that.
Let's connect if you are the one who is working in tech, who loves building in public, and wants to connect with a person with the same interest.
Let's follow each other and let's follow each other's journey.
Let's make it happen: 700 followers. Let's go.
🚨 Honest question
When you start building a new product using AI tools, what's your approach?
Do you start with the backend, frontend, or build both in parallel?
Curious to know how other builders are doing it.
If you are a solo founder or indie hacker and you're building in public, let's connect.
Let's connect, share ideas, share our thoughts, and support each other.
