Sharing ideas and trends to help you build and grow apps.

They acquire their customers once and keep them in their ecosystem forever, constantly increasing the lifetime value.

Hot news.

X is potentially going to buy TikTok.

What do you think is going to happen to both platforms if it really happens?

Crazy ideas are welcome.

Internet: Knowledge for the masses

AI: Programming skills for the masses

I see more and more entrepreneurs moving away from risking everything on one big idea.

They are moving away from one big bet to many small bets.

I'm not sure if that's good or bad.

But one thing's for sure.

As a society, we also need people to take the big risks to change the world.

Discovered that Nero Burning ROM still exists.

I was quite surprised, because I'm not sure who still uses that kind of software.

But for me they had one of the coolest brand names back in the day.

Who remembers them from the good old days?

I'm probably late to the party with this idea, but the best way to create ChatGPT prompts is to ask ChatGPT to help you write them.

Total game changer for me.

Improved the output 10x.

How to make money from trends?

Identifying trends early on is difficult.

And jumping on a trend too late is not ideal because it is hard to beat the first movers.

So what to do instead?

Learn to spot anti-trends.

They are easier to predict because they are the direct result of trends.

Obstacle = Business opportunity

Every obstacle you face in building a business or in your everyday life could potentially be turned into a digital product.

Ideas don't matter.

Execution does.

Sure, man...

Try executing a shitty idea.

The number one problem why many indie hackers are broke.

And no, it's not marketing or distribution.

It's because many are solving super niche problems in super small markets.

And that makes it hard to find enough customers to make a living.

No market = no money

Most annoying thing ever:

You get all hyped up about a brilliant business idea.

Then you find out that someone else has already built something similar.

I'll never get used to it.

Why do so few people build start-ups like this?

1. Find a fast growing start-up in another country

2. Localise the name and brand

3. Adapt the product to the culture of your country

4. Launch it in your country

Do high living standards create mediocre and less ambitious people?

Because it feels like this is happening all over Europe at the moment.

Crazy how many of these niche AI wrappers are printing money.

All you need is:

- A niche problem
- A low code tool
- A simple landing page

Simple and effective.

I wonder how long this opportunity will last.

What happens when AI can persuade humans?

Crazy to think about this.

Positioning is about comparing how a problem is being solved.

Only a matter of time before the first SaaS companies start putting an "AI-free" or "human-made" label on their products.

Crazy how many faceless YouTube channels are popping up right now.

There is now a small window of opportunity to make money from this especially if leveraged with AI.

But it might take a year or two until there is too much of this AI content and monetisation goes to zero.

What do you think?

Has indie hacking become mainstream?

This rule has saved my ass a few times:

If I can't decide, the answer is no.

It works in my personal life and in business.

Hello World!

I'm sorry, but I couldn't help but write this as my first post here.
