code first, words later. #buildinpublic

masters nationals this weekend. PB in almost every event. wanted sub-27 for 50 free, got exactly 27.00 (lane 8). swimming gods have a sense of humour. months of training done while building in silence. time to ship the ecosystem. watch this wave. #buildinpublic #swimming

failed another coding interview last week. im so bored of hour-long leetcode marathons that reward speed over sense. so ill keep building this orchestrator for my entire SaaS ecosystem. traceability all green so far. at least something actually passed. #buildinpublic

save for your next debug #buildinpublic {SYS-CTL} {SYS-REQ} what key architecture mistakes + corrections should be identified to fulfil the requirements outlined above? your design should be driven by clarity, precision, and implementation discipline, producing scalable and verifiable outputs

dev maturity is unlocked when you realise: 1. everything is just JSON 2. github copilot is a goat 3. django is insanely powerful 4. refactor = distractor, fix the bottlenecks 5. keyframes are easy, youre just impatient 4 is a life lesson. 5 hit different. #buildinpublic

I've been playing with cursor a bit and find it frustrating, even though I only gave it very simple tasks. It hallucinates icons, doesn't correct them when I tell it to use the real ones & messes up functionality when I just ask it to change UI colors. How to work smoothly with it? #buildinpublic

morning espresso for thought ☕ keywords = what people search for: "best coffee grinder" tags = how your content connects internally: "kitchen/morning-routine/daily-grind" one targets discovery, the other builds relationships. completely different jobs. #buildinpublic #seo

2 years ago: django api = full day, mvp deployment = full week. this morning: deployed staging/testing/prod for an authenticated vault server syncing to local JSON. controls + syncs entire app config straight from notion. ai made this stupidly fast. #buildinpublic

if you've ever wondered why #python just clicks... this documentary explains everything. guido van rossum walks through the decisions that made python feel human. 90 minutes of pure programming history (chef's kiss 🤌) youtu.be/GfH4QL4VqJ0?...

The foundation of every #marketing channel: • measure KPIs and iterate on data • meet your ICP in their moment of pain • ask "so what?" until you find the root benefit • communicate in a language they resonate with • make your offer so attractive that you don't need to hard sell #buildinpublic

small win alert. devarno.com jumped +11 DR points to 21 this week. somehow landed #1 on the weekly leaderboard. building in public is working. slowly but surely. #buildinpublic

lane 5. 7am. last call. race simulation to close out the weekend. 21km total since friday. back to building tomorrow. different kind of blocks to tackle. #buildinpublic

day 3: found my rhythm. 9k total across morning and evening sessions. more drills, less survival mode. saudi team still making it look effortless. one session left then back to shipping reality.

session 3: butterfly and block work. also trained alongside the saudi national team this afternoon. these guys make it look easy.

7am session: weather redeemed itself. 5km vs yesterday’s storm-shortened 2.5k. tired legs met their match but that’s why I’m here. sunrise alarm was totally worth it.

thunder cut day 1 short. arrived exhausted, pool went from perfect to this in an hour. travel legs didn’t help much either.

unplugging before shipping gets serious. heading to spain for a swimming camp at an olympic training facility. gonna micropost the brutal sets. still hunting for other swimmer software nerds. there’s gotta be more of us out there. #buildinpublic

been hoarding good prompts. trimming the fluff, keeping what actually works. less is more. turns out most of my best outputs came from like 5 core patterns. cheatsheet format cuts hours to minutes. might share some gems. #buildinpublic #indiehackers

summer got messy. had big plans, reality had bigger ones. learned to flow with obstacles instead of wrestling them. endless new ideas keep popping up but im not touching anything until skyflow ships. bluesky analytics built different. #buildinpublic

I'm the bear

competitors are free market research. if theyre solving it, the problem is real. dont fight the waves. learn to surf them better. #buildinpublic​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

nice to see a few more faces here 👌🏻 @andrei.blue @builditn0w.bsky.social @danny.webmobix.com @philippkeller.com

linkedin feels pointless for indie hackers. posting updates to old coworkers feels awkward. everything reads ai-generated and the engagement farming just makes it worse. any saas builders actually seeing marketing success there?​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ #buildinpublic #marketing

my biggest productivity hack so far: leave your phone somewhere you physically cant reach when working. note which apps you actually miss (most are just habits). use desktop versions if needed. easily 2-3x my usual output. would recommend. #buildinpublic

brilliant.org earned a spot in my morning routine. short programming and math challenges that actually feel fun. free version works great, premium lets you stay sharp daily without pressure. guilt-free brain training that feels like playing.

cheapest dev lesson ever: buy a random domain. then add subdomains for every project idea (i.e. start deploying instantly). e.g. space.devarno.com will take first place soon. learn by doing. #buildinpublic #indiehackers

morning swim = creative unlock. starting the day underwater clears my mind and fires up everything else.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ top life hack. would recommend.

5 days with zero wifi. any time i felt like building, i brain dumped instead. my entire backlog of blog ideas is now full of raw content. even started journaling with astonishing results. we spend way more time consuming than creating. disconnect to unlock more. #buildinpublic

should have switched to Obsidian ages ago. way more dev-friendly + actually works offline (looking at you @notion.com). perfect CMS for developers keeping it simple. already migrated my writing and templates. thanks @obsidian.md for building something that just makes sense. #buildinpublic

pov: spending a week somewhere with zero wifi. docker containers to the rescue. #buildinpublic #docker

well this made my entire week. wasn’t expecting support like this at all. got a whole new chapter coming. #buildinpublic

2.2k people believing in what i'm building. still processing this. 'thank you' doesn't feel like enough. i just want to keep making things that save people time. that's what this is all about for me. grateful for everyone following along. we're just getting started. #buildinpublic

visual chaos vs. clean focus. old: overcrowded text walls, competing buttons, visual noise. new: space backdrop, minimal content, mission control vibes. your hero sets the tone for everything that follows. mine is the command centre for my SaaS empire. #buildinpublic #indiedev

holiday means reading > coding. been diving deep into SaaS pricing models (freemium vs traditional). i get the impression that most tools are leaving money on the table by not having a free tier. something brewing from these insights 🛠️ freemium vs paid-only: what's your take? #buildinpublic

has anyone here tried both @post-bridge.com and @postsyncer.bsky.social? keen to hear about real experiences and what makes each one unique

just joined the IndieDevUse directory by @hboon.com. great way to discover what other indie builders are using. check out my stack: indiedevuse.com/developer/de...

in Italy, this is happiness.

started playing with Rust yesterday. already thought of a SaaS to build with it. but finishing the other two projects first before I add more scope creep to my life.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ #buildinpublic #rustlang

Childhood: The Thief of Always - Clive Barker Current: Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy - Douglas Adams

Latest side project cooking nicely. 90 seconds from commit to production. Pizza as a Service has way better margins and zero churn rate 🍕

i suck at budgeting. so far its just been a stream of monthly costs from my business account. im totally locked in on building, but a complete noob on financials. i want to be ready when MRR hits. any recommendations? (tools, approaches, mentality… ill take literally anything). #buildinpublic

Personally, I find an exceptionally well executed foundation much more attractive than "build fast and break things". Because I'm building a business that should last, is maintainable and a joy to run. Having to put out fires every 2 hrs isn't the way I want this to be. #buildinpublic #marketing

I've given up on standard Bsky feeds to deliver me content that I like (ie. has no politics and is just about nerdy tech) so now I'm just adding cool software obsessives to a list which pulls their posts into a feed. It works GREAT 👏

Just keep building and posting until the internet can’t ignore you

perfect day to remember why remote work exists. grateful to be building something that makes work feel like play.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ #buildinpublic
