Gonna pin this 📌. After 7 years working as a dev, I quit my job to pursue my dream: build software I love and make a living out of it. I have:.– Ideas.– Backup plans.– No wife, no kid.– Saving for 2+ years.– And most of all: Faith in myself. Let's see if I can make it! 👊.

We rented the house for the @HackerResidency event, haha. I still live with my wife in a 52 square meter apartment (~560 sqft). I may not ever buy a house/villa 😄. Living in an apartment is much more convenience I think. Away from the noise, pests, and good security.

"but build in public doesn't work anymore!!!". pessimistic views are self-fulfilling, stay a way from those people.
BUILD IN PUBLIC. What NOT to do:.❌ Post AI-generated replies.❌ Post 10 engagement-farming tweets like "what are you working on today?" in 1 day. What TO do:.✅ Share your stories.✅ Join others' conversations and add thoughtful comments (yes, "thoughtful" is not easy, but

I’ve built and been using the fork chat feature for @TypingMindApp since 2023 ☺️. For all models, not just ChatGPT (Gemini, Claude, DeepSeek, etc).
ChatGPT needs a 'fork chat' feature. I want to be able to branch a conversation from any point like git branch -> explore alternate timelines without ruining the main thread. or copy pasting like a freak.

$146,373 in August from my products. This is more than my annual salary 3 years ago, now I make it every month. I quit my job to go indie for the freedom to work on my own term building software I love to use, but then AI came along and helped me reach financial freedom too.

It's the way to moderate an online community now. 1. Write rules.2. Let AI enforce it, remove post or ban users for violations.3. Human review and adjust rules occasionally. OpenAI even has a dedicated API for this.
@levelsio Yes, 99% is AI moderated now. One challenge is that there’s no official API to do this, so we have to use hacks that are imperfect. If we would have full API access to moderate the community, I think we could do a much better job.

The gang at @coderabbitai also sponsored us $10K. Thank you!!!. Gonna print a big logo and stick them everywhere at @HackerResidency 😍
I met a few indie friends in Da Nang, Vietnam earlier this year and we decided to host a 1-month hacker house this November!. We rented a villa (pics below) for the location. The point is to create a distraction-free cowork space to lock in and build your startup with 9 other

Thinking about adding a semi transparent watermark “for verification only” when I send the passport to for example. Do you think they will accept it?.

Just renewed my passport. How do you stop your passport image from leaking all over the internet? My previous ones are all over the places because of KYC and verification requirements I've done over the last 10 years. Thinking about how to do this more safely from now on.

Wait until you have to explain why your company is making so much money but you don't have any employees 🙃. Things you have to go through because you are not in “the norm”.
So my personal broker @saxobank has now frozen my brokerage accounts for months now. They keep asking me ridiculous questions like. "Explain why you logged in from the US? Why are you spending so much time in the US?". I was literally in the US for 2 weeks to travel. "Why are you
