I'm bored with content from founders with millions of followers.

Advice from real founders juggling a day job, kids, and family is really rare. But it's far more valuable to me.

What do you think?

Any great podcasts or channels I may have missed?

Remember when #Jest claimed to be "painless JavaScript testing"? After all this years, this is still one of my favorite comments on testing 😈

Back at #indiehacking!

Real life came along and I took a break.

Building a mobile app with @expo.dev. Smooth sailing so far!

Skipping Figma to do a mock up with pen and paper saves you a ton of time.

I don’t care about the new features you’ve added to your app.

I AM NOT YOUR CUSTOMER!

I’m here to follow your journey and learn from your experiences building that feature.

It’s #buildinpublic, not #advertisement

Consistency matters for success.

But as a dad, I’ve learned to accept inconsistency.
Kids come first, building comes second.

It feels liberating to admit that.

I always figured UI mockups as an indie dev would be a waste of time.

The first customer of my new project will be my wife. I now find it quite useful to discuss her ideas on a mockup first first.

Cloudflare Startup Program now has a tier for bootstrapped founders.

You can get up to $5k in credits for a year.

Eligibility criteria look easy to pass 👀

Take you changes, I added a link in the comments.

(There are other tiers if you had funding)

Again, I am thinking about making a German #podcast on indie hacking! 🎙️

The market is so underserved compared to English content.

How is it in your native language?

Switched from 11$ X premium and 12.50$ Typefully to 0$ Bluesky and 0$ Buffer per month.

Typefully was so nice to refund my yearly payment after my moral break up with Elon and this fascist ideas.

Always make me really happy to see my work out in the wild.

Thinking about starting to invest into the stock market.

Pretty sure Trump can make it a even a little cheaper.

Realized selling your soul for business isn’t worth it… so I quit X.

Glad to be here with you lovely people who got a backbone.

My solution to lervage image caching in @nextjs.org with presigned urls feels over-engineered.

-> Fetching the image in server route (/api/images/[imagekey]) omits signing and leaves plain image url, which enables caching.

Any better ideas?

From AWS to Vercel and back.

Recently, a voice in my head said: "Use Vercel! It's fast and easy"
Yeah it is, but once a project grows nothing is easy anymore and I really missed my infra as code.

Switched to console.sst.dev - the perfect middle ground between AWS and Vercel.

Started building again!

Winter time + small children = serious consistency killer.

Honestly, not sure we had a single fully healthy week since Christmas! This wiped out my habits, but now crawling back to productivity.
