Common advice says to invest heavily in stocks when you're young, but without planning for future expenses first, that can be the seed for losses and frustration later on.

I just published a new post on the saveabit blog. It’s the article I wish I had read 10 years ago, when I had very little money in the bank and thought the first thing to do was invest in stocks. I hope it helps. saveabit.app/blog/posts/f...

The Case for Opinionated Personal Finance Apps
Most finance apps show numbers. The better ones should teach you what to do next.

Today I sticked to theory and in a couple of hours I had the blog post. What were the odds?

How to write a blog.
Theory:
✅ 90% → actual content
✅ 10% → theme/design
Practice:
❌ 2% → draft title, get distracted
❌ 47% → write a new theme from scratch
❌ 38% → debate button radius
❌ 11% → custom hover animations
❌ 2% → realize I have no content
*repeat*

As someone who’s not on Cursor , I’ve gotta say that the new Claude Code VSCode extension nails the balance for me. Helpful, but not annoyingly in-your-face every time you type a letter.

Here's what worked for me with saveabit's landing:
* Keep the tech stack boring (HTML + Tailwind CDN).
* Focus on your content and message first.
* Once you're happy, generate the CSS locally and ship it.
Don't let tools distract you from what matters.

Let’s say someone has no idea how to start promoting their project. What are the best resources available for indie hackers? Asking for a friend, of course.

🚀 Finally putting this out there: the landing page is live.
It’s very much a work in progress, but if you’re curious (or want to join the beta), here it is: saveabit.app

I said I was done changing the title of the landing page, but I guess I was wrong ¯\_ (ツ) _/¯ .

Spent a couple more hours refining saveabit’s landing today. I must be on headline attempt #27 and I'm still not 100% happy with it, but it’s nice to see the progress. The hardest part is grabbing attention without sounding like a get-rich-quick scheme
