I've recently started an indie hacker journey and cannot emphasize how much work it takes. It's incredibly hard to develop the technical side, listen to feedback to improve the product/UX, do SEO, viral marketing, and more. H

It's not to translate the app's name, but rather for a metaphor on the landing page. That one is indeed translated in Spanish.

I wish LLMs asked more clarifying questions for precisely this reason. And that they disagreed with me more often. I'm not sure that when asking for a translation, even with context, they would have replied that my request doesn't

Sure, but mostly everyone in English understands speed bump. There's a standard word that's understood by most. In German, you can even see in this post how many people have heard only very different words (they don't even kn

Thank you! I will update the post

(OP here) I'm thinking of either using "speed bump" in English, or adding the typical European sign for speedbumps for clarity. For now, I'm using Wikipedia's word in the end...

When creating the site's landing page, I had to investigate where to find speed bumps in Munich. I couldn't remember any, but it turns out there's quite a few in the end. Probably not as popular as in other European countries

I've recently embarked on indie app development [1]. It's exciting but my first lesson has been how slow things move. Just submitting to the stores, waiting, getting users... already takes months. One of my fears is not being able

I built an app that no one wanted to use, unfortunately. It helps people reduce phone usage by displaying things like cats in your screen, the screen time police, annoying cookie banners, and more. Users complained the app was too annoying,

Breaking the email system so that it's not sent is the cherry on top. With companies as big as Google who have developed so many products, "security" feels fake. If every line of code is a possible vulnerability, with million

Anything other than programming would be super helpful. There are a lot of software engineers who are able to build great products. Also knowing how to market and sell them is where only a few shine.

Amber Case is awesome. I'm personally building a silly app that makes it annoying to use social media. It will sometimes display cookie banners, cats, and more in the middle of your screen :) https://nullderef.com/blog&

Right? It's generic, nothing far from the stereotypes; no specific information. I also found it repetitive at the end.

I agree with this completely. My issue with sport clubs was that as an adult I felt I joined too late. They all were already friends for some time, and although not impossible, it's harder to fit in.

This one is hard to get right. At the end of a class, I'd often be too tired to talk to them more. And it has to be a smallish, very interactive class. But the diversity of people you find is awesome. I loved getting out of the tech bu

Thank you for sharing - it's really hard to fight human psychology. Did you try to download apps to control screentime? There are already some solutions out there, though none of them are perfect. The closest thing to training I'v

November is my last working month! I'm giving entrepreneurship a try to solve a huge problem: phone overuse. It's been busy: - Reading books, currently "The Mom Test" - Looking for a startup community and being disappoin

The notifications feature sounds similar to what iOS 18 will have. Maybe you'll like it -- https://www.engagelab.com/blog/ios-18-priority-notifications . I find this better than having to manage your notification s

Do you think there's something that can be done in the area other than education?

I could agree with you on a personal level, but not for society. Solutions to phone overuse need to scale to a large amount of people, and I doubt we can ever reach a point where: 1. "People" completely delete social media. It&#x2
