I really like to see we all have a life. Sometimes it even remembers me I should go out. But where I'm productive and want to be, I think it's better to hide it to only get motivated by people working on they own things too. Also, generalize it would help people understand they can have a life to...

What books and/or long-form articles are you reading? What do you like and dislike about them?

WIP's streaks are always a decisive topic. Some people claim it's what finally made them a productive maker while others dislike the unhealthy incentive to work every single day. For the people that do like streaks, it can be very demotivating when they eventually lose them and have to start fro...

When you join an accelerator like Y Combinator you not only getting funding and mentorship, but I believe they also offer various services like legal advice, setting up payroll, etc. Their goal is let you focus on your core business, and they take care of all the secondary stuff. VC firms do the...

WIP currently shows you their daily tasks and occasional milestones. What other things would you like to see? I'll list some ideas below, but I'd love to get your suggestions too! • Revenue / MRR for each project • Other metrics like user growth, engagement, etc • Weekly/monthly recap of their ...

We’re going to try something new. Have a specific topic for some of our weekly hangouts.  Which topics would you like to discuss? We might try and invite an expert to answer your questions. Thanks @ben for the suggestion!

When I initially added the #hashtag feature to WIP the idea was to group all your product's todos together in one place. That's still what most people use them for. However, more and more people have started using them for other creative usecases like #life (non-work related todos), tracking the...

I recently finished reading Poor Charlie's Almanack, which is a collection of Charlie Munger's talks. One of his most well known phrases is "Invert, always invert." which is a technique to come up with non-obvious insights when working on a goal. For example, if you goal is to decrease churn, y...

There's a new WIP feature I've been contemplating. Would love your feedback! The idea is to pick a topic each month and we all work on todos related to that topic. For example, one month the topic might be "SEO". At the start of the month we share our SEO-related goals, throughout the month we s...

I was thinking about the Idea because you see "build in public" projects do very well. But they are all about building online, right? I am about to acquire a piece of land in the mountains, and my goal is to build a nice hideaway, cabin/tiny house style. Would you follow this journey? All from ...

If you have any feedback for me, post it here. Of course you can also share it in the chat or email me personally. People occasionally ask me what the best place is to share their ideas, so I figured I'd create a post for it. 😁

Which great software have you discovered which makes your life or work much easier?

I'm in the process of simplifying WIP. The reason is that over time the codebase and UX gets more complicated as we add more features. It's important to sometimes also REMOVE features to keep things lean and progress on-going. Pending todos (i.e. todos that aren't completed) have been part of WI...

I just finished up watching Daniel Vassallo's and Sean O'Down's live session - $500 on Upwork by Monday, and it sparked a realization for me. Instead of further burning my savings while pursuing my indie hacker goal, I should boost up my morale a bit by making some extra money from freelance gigs...

Our community is quite diverse – many people are shipping their very first products while there are also folks with five, ten or even more years of experience here.  I also see established makers willing to share their knowledge and wisdom, and new makers willing to learn. It looks like there’s ...
