Building digital products. Sometimes a digital nomad, but mostly not. Trying to figure out how to sell software online.

I have been quite, but also super scrappy in the recent period.

Even my latest project is called like this.

Focused on shipping.

Preparing analysis for The Mind Nomad - it will analyze your emotional state, blindspots, reoccurring topics and give a visual representation of your "mind" over the latest entries.

Super excited for this one!

Definitely not a point system.

But it looks amazing!

Super excited for this one!

Additional improvements - made the writing context focus more on what you are writing about right now, then what it already knows about you.

A few more features planned for the upcoming days!

Check it out!

Building in public is all about listening to feedback!

📉 Received feedback from multiple users that journal suggestions are forcing them to think too quickly

🚀 Added "Writing mode" - pick between automatic suggestions, manual or turn them fully off!

Wrote a piece on how I see AI an journaling going hand in hand - just a first of many, but hope it explains my vision just a little bit more

First three weeks at www.themindnomad.com - started to build some traction with ~60 registered users, and 40+ active ones.

Not bad imo

Until then, I want to thank each one of the 700 users.

Especially my power users who were there to give input, feedback and let me know about any issues.

We will be seeing each other with new regulations in 2026!

F1 will always be my passion, and once I have more time on my hands and more resources I can pour into it, I want to do it right.

I want to enjoy F1 races, not stress about all the data provider changes, potential bugs and e.g. carrying my laptop to the mountains on a Sunday - in case there is an issue with the data.

And I will pause it for this season.

And I promise myself (publicly) that I will come back to this project.

I love F1.

And I really want to do a project in that space.

But with everything going on in my life (The Mind Nomad project, 9-5 and continues pursuit of education and improvement) - there was no time to be dedicated to making an enjoyable experience for myself.

And most importantly, for others.

A 23x growth through seasons, with very limited ad budget (~$100).

I really loved using it. It was satisfying my own need - a social experience watching F1 races with friends and family.

But the app was fully free and not profitable at all.

Total costs of running it for 2 years: ~$1000

2 years ago I started Undercut.

A simple mobile prediction game for F1 lovers - something like a very basic fantasy.

I was playing it first with friends and family - around 30 users for the first season.

And the following one - 700 users!

A post mortem to Undercut project.

With a heavy heart, I am sunsetting the Undercut (F1 prediction app) for this season.

It was my first indie project with real traction.

And here is why {THREAD) 🧵

#indiehackers #buildinpublic #fail #f1
Au revior, Undercut!

Okay, then it makes sense - it would push the content to an audience it matches from the content.

It's a good tactic to go with that approach, kudos!

So the new account is fully without followers?

Found that TikTok was pushing the carousels to non-followers.

But for Instagram it was mostly showed only to my followers - has anything changed? Do you see it being delivered to non-followers?

This sounds like a new area of SEO (or AI engine optimization?)

Wondering if you made any changes to your SEO strategy to get to this?
