I actually work quite hard on Indie Hackers. Since joining Stripe I've finally had the breathing room to focus on a long-term vision for the site. Making long-term changes requires a commensurate upfront investment, but it's still much better for everyone than me obsessing over the next week's ad revenue. I have certainly been less public about what I'm doing. I suspect that will trend will reverse itself in the coming months, but I don't intend to reboot the blog any time soon. The most valuable content on IH comes from other people sharing their stories, not from me, so I'm better off spending my time facilitating that. A few misconceptions I'd like to correct: - I stopped sending of hundreds of emails to find interviewees the day I launched Indie Hackers last August. Nothing changed after joining Stripe. - When I talk about building the forum, it's usually to illustrate the point of developers spending too much time coding. I think it's a bad idea for any founder to build something just because it's complicated, and I certainly wouldn't brag about it. - The forum has actually been growing nicely in recent months. I used to spend a lot more time seeding discussions, but it's been good to see it grow more organically. In a perfect world I'd have infinite time to do more commenting and lots of other things, but in the real world I have to prioritize.
