This morning I woke up to a surge of new App2Pro signups
Not because of marketing
Not because of ads
But because one user tweeted about how it saved them money
Real growth often starts quietly

Another two weeks done
Still learning, still iterating, still grateful
The indie path isn’t linear — but it’s worth every step

Today I looked back at my first line of code from years ago
It was messy
But it was the start
Every big product begins as something small and imperfect

Late-night coding sessions used to feel chaotic
Now they feel peaceful
It’s just me, the screen, and the quiet
That’s when the best ideas happen

There was a time I measured success by downloads
Now I measure it by retention
If people keep coming back, I know I’m solving something real

App2Pro was born from frustration
Too many apps made it hard to know what was truly worth paying for
So I built something to fix that
Real problems create real products

A user once asked why I still answer support emails personally
Because every message is a window into how real people use the product
Feedback is the most valuable currency

When you build alone, you wear every hat
Designer, developer, marketer, support
The hardest part isn’t the workload
It’s keeping your energy consistent

Sometimes indie life feels like a roller coaster
One day, excitement from a great review
Next day, frustration from a random crash report
You learn to enjoy both

One of my early apps failed completely
Almost no downloads
But that app taught me more about marketing and product positioning than any course could
Failures are tuition

Others start with user feedback that breaks your entire roadmap
Adaptability is the only constant when you’re building alone

There’s something satisfying about pushing an update at midnight
No fanfare, no marketing post
Just quiet progress

Started the week fixing a bug I swore I had fixed last week
Turns out I didn’t
This is the indie cycle — fix, test, ship, repeat
Every mistake just means the system is getting stronger

Three years ago, Sixbytes was an idea
Now it’s a small suite of tools helping thousands of people daily
Bootstrapped, steady, and growing quietly
The indie way works

Halloween thought
The scariest thing for an indie dev isn’t bugs or low downloads
It’s building something no one needs
That’s why talking to users early is everything

Every indie dev has that one feature they built just for themselves
For me, it was offline access
No one asked for it
But I needed it
Turns out thousands of users did too
Build what you need, and you’ll find others who do as well

A funny thing about indie life
You become your own product manager, marketer, designer, and QA tester
Some days it’s exhausting
Other days it’s freeing
Every day, it’s worth it

And each one made the next product stronger

No roadmap, no structure, just raw energy and curiosity
Now it’s more focused — still chaotic, but with purpose

Every app update looks small on the surface
But behind that changelog line is hours of testing, rewriting, and doubting
Shipping small updates consistently beats waiting for the “perfect” version
