I'm floored by how good this article is, and I just read another, and was also floored. His writing reminds me a bit of Raptitude in its - everything-is-fucked-heh-let's-try-to-function-anyhow attitude. And the writing is so, so g

This is an interesting topic of its own, but there have been a few books/ideas that have made a significant difference on how I operate day-to-day. There are many more books and ideas I nod along to and never implement.

I'm surprised this works, I thought Reddit effectively killed apps that rely on its API?

I stayed away from Reddit for probably nine months after that scandal, and pop back in occasionally now. It has gotten significantly worse.

Congrats on launching; it's a big step that a lot of people shy away from. And congrats on the traction and comments you're getting! I think there's nothing wrong with entering a crowded market or building an alternative to s

I'm a big believer in the fact that you have to hear the right lesson in the right way from the right source. This piece might not resonate with everyone, but it really spoke to me. I needed to hear it.

I've had that happen. I recently bought a few Muji notebooks for $2/piece[1]. They're thin, beautiful, and relatively cheap. I want to use them to doodle with less constraint or self-judgement, but still with a good experienc

Yeah, both are true for me. I love Spotify, and the app is getting worse. They got rid of the "make a radio from a playlist" feature, which made no sense to me - the tech is there. Instead, they're suggesting the "Enhanc

Aw damn, this is just a landing page. Gah. I get that you're validating a product idea, but you can't say "That's why I created IndieHackerStacks, a platform that makes finding the right tools easier and quicker" if

I think this is a nice idea. I've always been fascinated by the distinction between how we build MVPs/quick side projects, and how we build stuff as employed engineers. There's the classic trope of an ex-FAANG engineer workin

I'm not very familiar with Billie Eilish's music, but any interview I've seen her brother Finneas has been really great. Seems like a cool dude and a great musician.

One of the things I love about his autobiography is that he talks with the same sense of wonder about the people he wanted to be growing up, and reflects on meeting his heroes. In one of my favorite passages in the book, he talks about grow

Am I missing something? I've never read Ballard, but found this article to be pretty terrible. Is it meant to satirize or mimic Ballard's writing? The run on sentences, the [a and b, c and d, e and f] structure, the superfluous la
