I feel like the word 'failure' should be split into two words. Failure after trying and failure from never having tried at all bc in one you actually gave something a shot and learned from it, and that's a totally different thing from having failed because you never even tried

Talking to someone in your customer segment? 🎙️ End the conversation with 'Who else should I talk to?' The number of conversations you're having will start to snowball⛄️

Read The Mom Test and learned a lot about how to conduct market research/customer interviews 💬🔥 In short: 1. Talk about their life instead of your idea 2. Ask about specifics in the past instead of generics or future opinions 3. Talk less, listen more

Does anyone use Goodreads (if so, add me!) or have book recommendations? I've been trying to read more (not just startup-related books) 📚

Excited to share what I've been creating. In order to protect ecosystems, we need to know where invasive plants actually are. Checkwoods is a live database of invasive species and their locations, powered by AI and volunteers 🌿 checkwoods.com/ #forestry

Last week I quit my job. I'm going to be working on my projects full time. I'm also a little burned out, so I'm hoping to catch up on some rest as well. I'm excited for the future & to build and share some awesome projects with the world! #buildinpublic

Don’t know what to build? Try going to trade shows, and ask people what problems they have that could be solved with software. Ask them if they’d pay for a solution. Did this yesterday and came up with a very interesting idea (stay tuned) #buildinpublic #indiehackers

Spent $100 CAD on Facebook Ads, initially the results weren’t too good but after optimizing it we were able to get some sales! 🔥 (Note this is in CAD, not USD) #buildinpublic #indiehackers

Something I learned: create a customer persona before running ads. You’ll get a better conversion rate if you show your ads to people actually interested in using your product

Just returned from a month of working remotely from Sydney - had an awesome time, but 3AM meetings are tough 😅 Next up, I'm going to an AI hackathon at UC Berkeley this weekend - can't wait to build something cool! #buildinpublic #indiehackers

River pollution often results from agricultural runoff. Phytoremediation uses certain plants to cleanse polluted areas. I want to make an AI algorithm using satellite/soil data to identify ideal plant species and locations for reducing pollution 💡 Thoughts? #buildinpublic

Combining all the AI tools we built in a week into one SaaS product! We've been able to get 45 purchases of our individual templates without doing much marketing, so hopefully we can convince people to pay for a subscription! #buildinginpublic #indiedev

I used to console log with emojis inside my products to make it more visually distinctive. Until one day I onboarded a client and realized we had put code that was printing eggplant emojis to their console by mistake on their live site Don't be me #buildinpublic #indiedev
