Putting it out here: $10,000 in monthly revenue/MRR from my SaaS or digital products (not freelancing)
Is it possible it can do a running list through the year? Like end of Jan, it shows Jan wrapped.. then in end of Feb, it shows Jan and Feb, and so on, snowballs till the end. I think monthly is a good timeframe. If too much, maybe quarterly. Weekly is probably too much, and few would review things weekly i think. Maybe the tone of the text could be more informal, fun, indie speak too
That's an interesting idea. Incrementally building it up. But it would mean we no longer have a yearly reveal of everything you did. You probably wouldn't read all the previous months anymore, since you already did so before.
As for the language, I agree it was a bit too corporate. I actively worked on making it more informal, but I never quite got it where I wanted. I will need to experiment with some more approaches.
We miss ya, Cat! More feral writing needed in the community haha.. please come back! 😊🙏
Hey Jamie, not sure if semi-public journaling is your thing, but that's what we do over at Lifelog - golifelog.com
Just 100 words a day. Streak tracking for daily writing. But most of us stay for the community - that's my fav part of running Lifelog too. Over time we're like a mastermind group
I was hoping to see you mention LifeLog here!! I really need to come back and participate more ❤️

Maybe priorities best explains it. Code is secondary to me. It's just one piece out of many moving pieces. I don't care if I learn how to code comprehensively or not. I ship crappy code. I only care enough that it makes customers pay. For SWE, code is primary.
One is for enterprise, good to have CS credentials, fundamentals is a must, good to learn what companies are hiring for (like React). Indie hacker, you don't need to get CS cred, learn just enough coding to launch, also must learn business, learn what helps you ship fast.
I think this is a different question you're answering.
It's not about getting a job.
It's about learning to code: reasoning about the task at hand and solving it with the tools that the language provides.
The nuances come into play at a much later point: working at faang vs working at regular company vs working in body shop vs working in a startup vs indie maker.

If you want a community too, check out Lifelog - built this for myself, and it's a small tight group just writing daily
