Sharing a laugh with my son is truly one of the purest joy I've ever experienced
Astro with Firebase might be my new favorite stack. Simple, scalable with SSR option. Maybe I'll throw Svelte or Vue on it as extra.
What I've tried:
Having a corporate job I don't like, while trying to bootstrap an indie project.
Result: constant feel of grinding, time pressure and stress.
New approach: become a freelancer instead & cooling indie hacking a little bit.
Feels like I was trying to jump two stairs at a time.
If finding a good problem to solve and entering the right market are the most important decisions as an indie hacker...
...does it also mean that being a great market researcher is the most important hat you'll be wearing?
This includes taking unsexy gigs as well.
My strategy and tip
to you as an indie hacker who hasn't yet found the right problem and product-market fit:
Just start helping business anyway you can. Let patterns emerge.

Whenever it comes to sales I suddenly have the urge to build something new instead. Ahh!
Validation without failure criteria creates unfinished projects, not completed research.

Thank you, ai?

I am trying a new strategy for my #indiehacker journey.
No MVPs. No prototypes. No auth. No landing page.
Instead:
Simple clickable UI, one minute screen recording explaining stuff, and a close beta access request form.
The goal is to validate ideas faster.
I'm offering MVP-as-a-Service with 10 years of experience in web development behind me!
Thanks if you share this with someone who might be interested!

Keep a backlog of low effort tasks for those "just get something done" days, when you don't feel creative or when you can only squeeze in 15 mins #sidehustle work.
Progress is progress, and shallow work needs to be done too. #indihackers #productivity
Seek truth, not compliments.
Use the Mom Test on AI by asking neutral questions without exposing your intentions, opinions or taste to get an unbiased, honest response that either enforces or challenges your inital beliefs.

That's why I use @bearnotesapp.bsky.social for my second brain - it's my favorite app of all time! It's a beautiful, lightning-fast note-taking app that is not only efficient but also a joy to use!
🤏 Starting small is the way.

Today, I've polished the preview site of my theme, Coffee World, and added a new, featured product section to the homepage of gaborify.com.
Last week I was learning about LCP optimization for #Shopify stores and practicing it on my own theme, Coffee World. Feels great to see actual results. 😍
This week's blog post is about feelings: disappointment and motivation. 💔

One of my favorite apps of all time is KanbanFlow. Might not have the fanciest UI, but it's a lightning fast Kanban board with built-in time tracking, and great customization options, that is also a mobile PWA.
I've done some research on form backends to get email notifications about form submissions on my contact page. The best I found was web3forms.com. Easy setup, 250 free form submissions a month, custom redirect, and working Reply button in your inbox. #indiehackers #solopreneur
Today, I've continued working on my portfolio website. Quite happy with the About page.
