What are some of those cool ideas?

I don't agree with the person you're responding to, but to answer your question, one possibility is pressure from the competition. If, say, Burger King wants to compete with McDonalds on price, they can pay their workers less. Thi

Understand that your compensation can take many possible forms. It's all up for negotiation. Don't hamstring yourself by assuming you must be paid in cash, or that the payment must all be upfront, etc. Consider the myriad other

You can click "Newest" at the top of the forum to see threads by creation date. I'm planning to rework the nav bar. It's not as easy as simply adding a link, as there are numerous links people want faster access to, not

I do plan on adding a navbar link. However, I don't think this eliminates the advantages of bookmarking or directly visiting the desired URL for someone who finds no value in the homepage. (For example, I never visit Reddit's home

I agree that the learn section needs a lot of work. For one, it's tough for the user-written articles to be as consistent as the native content we produce ourselves, so I'd like to create a cleaner separation.

Got a few questions for you: 1. Why not bookmark the interviews page instead of the homepage? 2. Would it be helpful to you if the interviews/podcasts were more prominently linked from the homepage, or is it only sufficient if they are

You're hitting me with the tough questions, appreciate that they're all in good faith :) - I enjoyed blogging about IH, but it was also quite time-consuming, and not that many people found it interesting relative to the other st

Thanks for the feedback. I haven't written a blog post about it, but the TL;DR is that engagement and views are significantly higher than a year ago. We've experimented with a variety of different homepages, including the old list

"Subreddits" are coming eventually! The other phenomenon, of people asking the same question over and over, is an interesting one. Unlike StackOverflow, sometimes the same question (e.g. "How should I improve my landing page?

I actually track this (roughly), and the percentage of people asking for help hasn't decreased over time. It increased in January of this year and has stayed relatively steady since. That said, one thing I may investigate is either rem

Although it's a bit harder to find at the moment than it should be, the early content on Indie Hackers still exists and we're still conducting interviews at the same pace as in the past: https://www.indiehackers.com&#x2

Thanks for listening! You can read the transcripts, etc without signing up now, as of a few weeks ago.

Feel free to email me with suggestions! courtland@indiehackers.com EDIT: I should say that the navigation is a work in progress, and the interviews/podcast/etc will eventually be easier to get to.

I'm a software engineer, but I worked a construction job once while I was young. I barely lasted a week. The job was to help with building a hotel during a sweltering hot summer in Georgia. I'd be soaked in sweat before noon. We s

Walling off the content directories was an experiment to boost community membership signup, as community members are far more active than anonymous visitors. It's worked — people have joined the community at a much higher rate — but th

Brand new to this! And not even sure my taste buds are discerning enough to get into it, but I'd like to try. Not sure where to start. Was guessing that a wide variety of exotic options would be great, so I don't get bored and qui

Every business decision carries risk. The question is whether or not the risk is acceptable. If you don't want to serve any customers making under $10M, then other companies serving those customers are not your competition. At least no

Certainly! There is a biological element to compassion, but there's a knowledge component as well. Simply knowing that someone may actually be worthy of your compassion is half the battle.

Free will is about ultimately having control. If your decisions are randomly determined by quantum mechanics, you aren't any freer than if your decisions are the result of a deterministic process.

People seem to be wondering what the takeaways can be from this point of view. Even if every decision we make can ultimately be traced back to some quirk of our genes or environment that we didn't choose… so what? We still have to live

Honest answer to your question: Because they have to-do lists a million miles long, and "make an HTML-only version" is often at the very bottom of that list, because it may require high investment while providing few benefits rela

Governments, politicians, business leaders, etc. regularly say things out loud to generate a desired perception among the public, when the real underlying reasons are actually different. This is not rare or exceptional — it's the norm.

You're not supposed to call our media propaganda. That's a word that can only be used for other nations' media.

Curious what you mean by "deal with" it. Somehow make it non-radioactive, or improve our disposal techniques, or what?
