It is mentioned in the article - $27,500. [Edit: Got that number not from the original article, but from the Ars article another person posted in this thread.]

If anyone is looking to do the opposite (i.e., make a dumb bike smart) check out the QZ app (qzfitness.com). Made by a solo dev who is amazing at support despite the tiny price and lack of subscription. I have no affiliation, just thought a

I just completed two weeks with Lingo by Abbott. It was decent. I wish it had better integration of the data with Apple Health, but I liked the Lingo score as a way of "gamifying" it and the UX overall was decently done.

The timer makes it competitive. Every day I "compete" with a friend of mine across the country to see who can finish the mini crossword faster. Without that it wouldn't be fun (for me at least). I unwind with the bigger cross

Yeah, I’ve been pretty disappointed to see the indie hacker community mostly remain there. Not sure what event would finally trigger the exodus at this point.

I think they could have had moderate success with a cleaned up, somewhat ‘moderated’ version of Second Life given they have the hardware and largest installed base for VR, but instead it was these disparate ‘worlds’ of varying quality that

What ‘broad support’ are you referring to? https://www.newsweek.com/doge-support-collapsing-poll-elon-m...

This is exactly the issue. The minute a group of humans gets too large you face the same challenges, regardless of whether it is public or private.

I miss the days when they had to at least write a ‘white paper’ to try and sell their pump and dump scheme. Now it’s just low effort grifting, yet it somehow seems to keep working.

For anyone avoiding X these days, sahilbloom.com is the most direct resource for more content like this (no affiliation, just pointing this out).

Will there be a way to disable this?

Earlier you posted about TDS. You’re the one that made this thread political and not about technology.

Are you sharing your process anywhere (like on YouTube)? I’d be really curious to see behind the scenes of how you’re building these types of products. For example, are you just using Claude or Claude with Cursor (or something else)?

I wish I could do that. I have to train fasted in the morning because it feels like my body is processing the food (even plain oatmeal) and taking away from performance. I'll try the coffee before sauna idea tomorrow though - never tho

Weren’t most of the COVID handouts done under Trump? I recall people getting up in arms because Trump wanted his signature on the handouts.

Voting for lower interest rates to come back will certainly fix that. https://www.reuters.com/article/business/trump-heaps-pressur...

Not a lawyer, but my local university (a registered non-profit) had an AI department that took in a ton of grant money before they rolled it out into a for-profit. The "founders" got fat salaries and bonuses after the conversion.

Thanks for the reply. That all makes sense, especially around moderation and focus. I’m not using anything now. I’ve tried out various products like Focusmate but what keeps me away is I experience ‘waiting mode’ where I’ll waste time waiti

I'd love a "slimmed down" version of this since the UI looks really clean and usable. I don't need the coaches, and having an ongoing jump in/out session would be cool. Is something like that available or on the roa

When you click ‘Community’ it goes to X. That’s not at all what I was hoping for or expected after clicking that link. Especially since you have another link directly below that to ‘Follow on X.’ I’d strongly recommend having your own commu

Same here. Expansion is great and all, but if it all goes down due to a massive CME we’re all screwed. I’ve heard estimates of $500M to improve resiliency for solar events. Why isn’t funding going toward that?

Has he shared this workflow anywhere (i.e., YouTube)? I’d be very curious to see how it works.

Years ago we used to tease a guy in our incubator about using SQLite in production. Who knew he was just ahead of the curve…

I get doing it to feel less alone in the journey, but unless your target customer is other indie hackers it just invites unnecessary competition. I get that ‘it’s not about the idea - the execution is what matters,’ but why make an already

Who is your target customer? It’s difficult to give non-generic advice on this question without having some context.

I want to like Airchat, but I find the UX to be horribly confusing. Maybe it’s intentionally that way, much like how Snapchat supposedly started out?

I’m surprised by these comments and how much some people seem to hate audio. Audio can be great for conveying emotion versus text (and without the awkwardness of video). It’s also 3-4x faster than typing out comments. I’ve seen stats saying

My bad. They are between $100-$300 to manufacture according to this article and a few others I found - https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2021-06-08/column-hea... They are then marked up 1,100%. If this n

If loosening the definition creates a lower end of the market and puts downward price pressure on the ‘high end’ manufacturers then I’m all for it. My parents just got absolutely robbed buying hearing aids for my great aunt that I’m sure co

Not to be pedantic, but there isn’t any evidence he ever actually said that. It’s also used as justification for all sorts of bad business decisions that could have been solved with a tiny bit of research first.
