As a developer, I used to think success = great code.
But here’s what I’ve learned from studying indie hackers and SaaS founders:
The best apps aren’t the most polished.
They’re the most known.
Here’s how I’m retraining my brain 🧠
(and how you can too):
Spent some time yesterday improving Visionary:
- Added a bug fixes section so you can track & mark issues as complete
- Made features expandable, so you can keep things clean & organized
- Cleaned up the UI a bit
Feels way smoother to use now. Always tweaking & improving ⚡️
Every indie dev has two things:
1️⃣ A million app ideas
2️⃣ No way to keep track of them
I got tired of losing ideas, so I started building an app to store and organize them all in one place.
Spent way too long adjusting gradient numbers. Got tired. Built an app.
GradientLab lets you slide, preview, & copy the swift code instantly.
Way better than suffering.
