  1. I made my first sale building SaaS

    it's crazy stupid if you think you can do it

    but it's even crazier and more stupid if you think you can't

    I feel happy, happiest I've ever been for a very long time

  2. Right now I'm actively #buildinpulic 2 projects:
    💼 camelotai.tech - AI agents orchestration tool for developers
    📿 lamabot.social - AI chat-bot supporting in emotionnaly hard situations
    Thank you in advance for feedback and using.

  4. Just got quoted in @LeadDev alongside
    @Anthropic-level experts! 🎉

    Topic: AI agentic coding addiction

    My take: "Earlier, you'd stop because you got
    stuck. Now you just keep moving."

  6. This time I managed to make the video short enough for other platforms (but in turn it seems very rushed :/). But: Presenting the output and a mini-overview of the stages to get there of Morsel, our prototype to find problems in technical documentation :).

  10. Every step in a media workflow is a place where your AI stops being useful.

    Forge handles it. Your agent handles the technical details. One flow. No handoffs. No separate storage dashboard.

    Your content is free to grow. Just connect to Forge, and have a conversation.

  15. Post 1/2

    You can build a fully functional SaaS without spending a penny 💡

    Core stack:

    • Supabase → database & storage
    • Upstash → Redis cache
    • Netlify → hosting
    • Zoho → email inbox
    • Resend → transactional emails
    • Google Analytics → analytics
    • cron-job.org → scheduled jobs
    • Free AI coding tools → dev acceleration

  16. 🚀 I got tired of QR generators being slow, ad-ridden, and privacy-invasive. So I built my own.

    QR Studio Ultra is live! 🦀 Built with a high-performance Rust rendering engine and a Svelte frontend.

    ✅ 100% Offline & Private ✅ Custom Gradients & Logos ✅ Native Android Performance ☘️ Get the code from GitHub and check it/build it yourself or download the apk

    Grab the APK from GitHub and let me know what you think: github.com/Cypher-Shadowbourne

  17. I built DMARCguard because every DMARC tool told me what happened
    never what to do

    that's the core philosophy I built DMARCguard around:
    tell me what to do, not what happened

    9+ protocols
    28+ free tools
    23+ RFCs referenced
    no VC funding
    no enterprise sales team

    just a product built by someone who got tired of translating XML into action items at 2am

  18. You’re Closer to Making Money Online Than You Think

    There are people making money right now doing things that would sound almost insulting if you framed them honestly. Renaming files. Cleaning data. Converting formats. Generating variations. Organizing chaos into something usable.

  23. Just launched Inviteful — a simple way to send event invitations, track RSVPs, and know exactly who's coming.

    No group chat chaos. No spreadsheets. Each guest gets a unique RSVP link, reminders are automatic, and you get a live headcount dashboard.

    Works for everything — birthdays, weddings, team events, holiday parties.

    Free to start. No credit card required.

  24. I built a thing 🛠️
    Threads doesn't let you bulk delete your posts. You have to tap delete on each one. Manually. One by one.
    So I built ThreadsDelete.co — select what you want gone, hit delete, done.
    Solo dev, built it myself, been iterating on it for months.
    If you've ever rage-quit a platform but didn't want to leave a trail behind — this is for you.

    Hi everyone 👋

    I’m the creator of an open-source project: zoomment.com/

    The project already has users and I’m actively maintaining and improving it. I really enjoy working on it and would love to invest much more time into development.

    The challenge is that I also need to earn money to make that possible.

    I’m curious if anyone here has experience turning an open-source project into something sustainable financially.
    What models worked for you? (donations, hosted version, paid features, consulting, sponsorships, etc.)

    Any advice, examples, or suggestions would be really appreciated 🙏

  26. I built a thing.

    InboxToKindle converts your email newsletters into clean EPUBs and sends them straight to
    your Kindle. Substack, Beehiiv, Ghost, Medium — all supported.

    Free tier is 15 deliveries/month, no credit card needed. Pro is $10/month or $100/year.

  27. Hey Fediverse! Just joined Mastodon. I'm Chad — author of 15 books, founder of 6 AI apps including ContentForgeHQ, PillPal, PawFormance, and more.

    I write about AI, creativity, building in public, and making things that help people create, heal, and grow.

  28. Launched my first SaaS two days ago.

    Already have my first paying customer.

    FreshBill — dead-simple invoicing for freelancers and micro-businesses.

    → Create an invoice in under 60 seconds
    → Send it as a clean PDF
    → See what's outstanding at a glance

    Free to start. No credit card required.

  29. I built a free tools website with:

    No login
    No signup
    No ads

    Just open → use → close.

    Because simple tasks shouldn’t feel complicated.

    I shared the full story here:

  30. 2/4 I used Pelican, a Python static site generator that turns markdown files into HTML. It is old and boring and it works. Hosting: Cloudflare Pages for static files, Cloudflare Workers for backend logic like the feedback form. No dedicated server sitting idle. Cloudflare does set some essential cookies. I cannot avoid that. #IndieHacker #FOSS #selfhosted #privacy

  31. 3/4 For source control I run my own Gitea instance instead of GitHub. I want to control my own code and not depend on a platform someone else can pull out from under me. Self-hosted act_runner handles deployments. Getting the Docker networking right took longer than it should have. Turns out it was a misconfiguration on my end. (Event Weather Planner saves anonymous cache data, purged after a timeout. Nothing in it identifies you.) #IndieHacker #FOSS #selfhosted #privacy

  32. 4/4 Updating content on this site is a pain. There is no CMS. If I catch a typo, I have to edit the markdown file, push it to a staging branch, then manually approve the merge to production. Every single time. I knew this going in and I chose it anyway.

  33. goal for the next 30 days: find 10 real users who will test it and give honest feedback.

    not friends being polite - people who will actually use it and tell me what works and what doesn't.

  34. Tự xây dựng hệ thống xử lý webhook để tiết kiệm 20$/tháng cho bán template Notion. Dùng .NET 10, Docker, SMTP, chạy trên VPS rẻ, gửi email tự động sau khi bán. Mở mã nguồn giúp ai cũng có thể dùng. #OpenSource #Notion #Webhook #SideProject #IndieHacker #TựĐộngHóa #KinhDoanhOnline #CôngNghệ

  35. The Best Affiliate Programs for Developers in 2026

    If you create any kind of deployment tutorials, server guides, or DevOps content, cloud hosting affiliates should be your foundation. The recurring commission model means a single referral can pay you for an entire year.

    Wenn du Links teilst (Messenger, Mail, Social Media), hängen oft Tracking-Parameter dran – utm_*, fbclid, gclid usw.

    SafeShare entfernt diese Anhängsel lokal im Browser: kein Login, keine Cookies, keine Server-Logs.

  38. Một nhà phát triển độc lập ăn mừng thành công đầu tiên: bán được $49 cho sản phẩm Artifact UI Pro – bộ component UI cho trang landing page SaaS. Sau nhiều tuần nỗ lực, tiếng chuông thông báo bán hàng đầu tiên mang lại niềm vui lớn. Anh ấy chia sẻ bí quyết "xây dựng trong công khai" và nhắn nhủ mọi người hãy kiên trì với dự án của mình!

  39. Moin, Day 5 & letzter Tag der Vibe Coding Journey Woche! ☀️ Heute im Gründer-Modus: Brainstorming für neue Features & KI-Ansätze für Neucode. Mal ist es der Flow der Kreativität, mal der Drill am selben Bug. Beides muss sein: Ohne neue Ideen keine Produkte, ohne Konstanz keine stabilen Releases. Was treibt euch mehr an: neue Ideen oder Feintuning? 👇

  40. Day 3, fast geschafft! ☕️ Wieder mal über ein absurdes Problem mit 'ner Drittanbieter-API gestolpert. Doku für die Tonne.

    Aber hey, Community-Power! Kurz im Forum gefragt, zack – Lösung in Minuten. Genau das liebe ich am Dev-Space: Niemand ist allein mit seinen Problemen. Geben und Nehmen regelt.

    Shoutout an alle, die ihr Wissen teilen! Ihr seid Gold wert. 🤝

  41. Scrum-Daily: Storypoints schätzen bleibt tricky. 😅 Wieder zu optimistisch gewesen, sitze länger dran als geplant. Agile Dev ist top, aber Planung – das ist der Knackpunkt, besonders mit SaaS-Sideproject und Kunden parallel. Egal, Prioritäten neu setzen, weitermachen. 💪 Was sind eure größten Challenges im agilen Alltag?

    #vibecoder #agiledevelopment #scrum #indiehacker #developer #neucode

  42. I think I know everything to start a new project! 😅 I managed to create an intent that is shareable between apps, widgets, and is available for users from #ShortcutsApp. 😁
