I guess, my internship project at Apple: I added approximate string search to Spotlight. So even if you made a typo writing something, you’d still get correct search results. Considering Spotlight is used by millions, I guess that’s super i

This is so good that I can't tell if it's AI generated or a bunch of clips of Joe Rogan and Steve Jobs stitched together decently well. The "belief" threshold has been crossed.

Deploying has become a nightmare. It used to be transfer your source files via FTP, now it’s setting up Docker and Kubernetes and I don’t know what. Ofc the latter is better for teams, but now you must learn a whole stack just to deploy cod

I just made it clear from the beginning that that was what I was looking for. They had no issue with it. It does feel like 5 days in a 4-day grind sometimes, but at least I get the time to indie hack.

I’m a contractor working 4 days per week for a well known YC startup. I indie hack on Fridays and weekends. I found the job on Twitter, almost by mistake. The 4-day workweek was a non-negotiable for me because the indie hacking part is so m

It's all about ratios. A large chunk of the Lebanese people lived in poverty (add to that 100,000 Palestinian refugees who arrived in 1948).

Not pictured are the refugee camps and slums that have existed since at least 1948. The “Golden Age” was one for a (predominantly Christian) upper class that was out of touch (and still is) with the rest of the country. Source: am Lebanese

It should be working now? I think it's on Apple, itunes.apple.com has been slow for days. Mac apps == organic. iOS apps == mostly organic, I'm testing some ads for VidCap.

A year and a half is too long to launch an MVP. If you can't do it within 3-4 months tops, you shouldn't do it (again, I'm talking about an MVP). Self doubt creeps in when you work on something, perfecting it, but never shipp

If it takes < 1 month to build, and it fixes an issue you encounter every day, then it’s worth building an MVP of and putting it out there.

Do you have problems that need to be solved? Do you have the skills to solve them? That's how I started. Plus, looking at my own problems gives me extra motivation to fix them.

The bootstrapping-type posts got me excited to try my hand at it. I'm at $5k/month (mostly) passive income right now, while also consulting 4 days a week. Who wants to be hired helped me find my first freelancer gig.

You're mistaken. If you'd like to estimate how much apps are making, check https://app.sensortower.com/ (it's pretty accurate), you're going to be very surprised with the number of apps making > $5k&#

This gold rush started -at least for my generation- with the App Store. The reach of the internet is so great that even simple ideas are still raking in thousands of dollars per month. I remember sitting at a dinner table with new acquainta

I can offer some thoughts as to why this is the case: - Apple engineers are literally drowning in Radars. - Your F.A. Radar will arrive so late to an engineer (after being filtered by QA) that the engineer is working on new features and mar
