Pieter Levels says that he's tried something like 70+ ideas to make money and only 3 of them have really made some money, and only one have done it substantially. So his conclusion is that you need to get good at trying new things &#x2

If by "pampered" you mean you don't want to be scammed by some popup kitchen that can easily rename/rebrand itself once it amasses a bunch of negative reviews... then yes, you're "pampered". Always better

Dual clutch in more expensive (fast) Porsche's are a lot more fun bc you have less to worry/freak out about going at speed (I'm not that good of a driver...). In cheap Porsches like the Boxster the manual is a ton more fun, s

Everyone knows the real problem is in the funders, like the NIH. They could easily correct the problem by yanking / giving funding for "boring" activities like proper peer review, proper fraud detection (why is all of it fall

I'm just parroting what other people say— If it's a startup, a thing you're trying to make money on, or a community-oriented thing, market your app before you start. Marketing looks like talking to ppl you think are or will b

The "horn instrument" being reused in every song is a giveaway that they're using the same generator, without even changing the parameters of the instruments. It's like they're basically using a fancy "arpeggia

Is this culture of 'high quality posting' inspired from other high quality posts, instilled from the voting mechanism, from up/down voting or from the FAQ? How come much smaller Facebook groups have a tendency to devolve into

I do the work of Product designer / UX designer / full-stack "engineer" at a research hospital lab in Sydney (moved here from the US a few months ago). I work on a clinical trial, analyzing data, building databases, web

Is this metric meaningful on its own? The article insinuates that developers aren't productive, but if I spend a few hours thinking, planning, designing the system etc. and "only" spend an hour putting all that work into code

aw this is so cool! Is there a way you (or someone) could swap out the sounds w/ the Sydney trains announcements?? The announcements really sound similar...

I'd do it this way as well for most cases. Complicated URLs are hard to remember and annoying to share. The one benefit of the nested URL is that you get is of being able to "inspect" what organization or section or comment a

Saves me a ton of time to use Supabase or something similar — as a single developer / "indie hacker" this frees up time to work on other things, or for more naps :) Also, I don't have to worry about my code being terribl

I received an invoice like this in my PayPal account; it showed up in an email notification and actually appeared as an unpaid invoice in PayPal. I tried to dispute or flag it, but there's no such option in their interface — and there

There was another post a while back about all the complex problems that arise from event sourcing — problems similar to race conditions that end up being really tricky to solve. I've always wanted to build a small tool on top of event

A friend of mine tagged the bag with an Airtag, knew where the bag was, and the Calgary police still didn't cooperate. They didn't want to track down the bag and worse, told him they'd arrest him if he'd tried to steal &

I'm still enjoying using Mailgun. No problems there so far... knock on wood.

I didn't even know Mailchimp supported transactional emails. I thought it was for newsletters and stuff. It's kind of funny that Mailchimp treats a company as large as Digital Ocean as if they're a one person newsletter.

I did a job for a "famous fried chicken chain" in the US once, and the end-goal was to "increase consumption of 'heavy users' from 3x a week to 4x a week". They didn't even bat an eye at their use of &quot

Another mitigation technique the article missed: Instead of resetting everyone's status to zero, you can create a new status game. E.g. if you've implemented "likes" to your posts, you can add a "voted most helpful&

I like that HN doesn't emblazon the user's points/status so clearly compared to something like FB/Twitter, where "likes" is front and center. I also like that the quality of the post is reflected in the # of vo

I've used Retool as UI and Airtable as DB for so many tiny custom apps, it's great. Retool ends up being used to create "constraints" on top of Airtable in a way that enforces how people add / view records. It'

I love JSON5! My only gripe with it is that I have no idea what the "5" means, and I don't think it's documented / alluded to anywhere...

Articles like this worship the act of writing on paper, not the process of iteratively putting down thoughts and shaping them. I use Notion. I also use paper. I tried using "fancy writing equipment" that ended up too nice for

this looks useful! Could you please create actual use cases, e.g. a "learning center" for what is email marketing and how could indie hackers use it? I think you could get a lot of us who are completely new to this concept — tea
