Every indie hacker’s starter pack: -$17.42 in Stripe -2 half-built dashboards -1 API key accidentally pushed to GitHub -eternal hope this one might be the one

How do you guys balance a 9–5, a side project, burnout, 3 existential crises, and still deploy by midnight? Asking for... me. 😁 #buildinpublic #indiedev

Just shipped a major update to my product after 2 weeks of deep work.😪 Tons of bug fixes, UX tweaks, and a new feature users actually asked for. Talking to users = clarity✅ What did you guys do this week? #buildinpublic #SaaS #IndieHacker

Solo founders: What's been harder - building the product or getting users? 🤔

Spent 10 years wrestling with bloated, overpriced affiliate tools. So I built my own solution! Rapid Affiliates a no-fluff, fast setup tool for bootstrapped startups. Branded portals, real-time analytics, PayPal/Wise payouts. Launching soon! rapidaff.io

Aren't you guys tired of duct-taping affiliate tracking with spreadsheets, Stripe exports, and half-baked tools? Same here. So I built Rapid Affiliates -> a dead-simple affiliate system for solo founders. ✅ Fast setup ✅ Real-time tracking ✅ Payouts via PayPal/Wise ✅ No

So... after rage-quitting 3 affiliate platforms in a week, I gave up and built my own. 😅 It started as a scrappy internal tool, just enough to track referrals, conversions, and pay people without losing my mind. Then I realized... every indie dev I know hates setting up

What's the best way to connect with other fellow builders? 🤔

Signing up with a VC sometimes feels like handing over the keys to my soul... but with an equity clause. 😅🔑

Not enough people talk about this part of building a startup: → You ship something you're proud of → Crickets 🦗 → You start questioning everything But then, 1 random user sends feedback that reminds you: You're building for real people. Keep going.

Building a startup feels like this: Monday: “This is going to change lives.” Tuesday: “Why did I even build this?” Wednesday: “Wait, someone signed up?!?!” Thursday: “I’m a genius.” Friday: “I need a nap.” The cycle continues..

You build a landing page. You write the copy. You believe in the idea. Still 0 signups. What now?

Startups break you before they make you. Sleep-deprived. Self-doubt. Silent launches. Yet we keep building. What’s kept you going when nothing seemed to work? 🤔

How do you guys go about marketing Mobile apps? Are there any particular platforms for those? 🤔
