@adamlyttleapps Since the rise of AI, I think that’s the only way I feel good about making an app, something that feels crafted, since the coding joy is gone completely.
Just as an official Hi to the indie hackers community,
My name is San Soro,
I am a senior iOS developer, with 10 years of experience,
I also make games on the side sometimes.
It's been my dream to publish my own apps some day, and earn a living from it, but now since the rise of AI, I should admit, it became harder to stay in love with the craft, as it doesn't feel like a craft anymore,
I learned to embrace it though, now I can create at 10 times the speed, I can create the parts I couldn't before,
I just miss writing code by hand, but it is time to change,
And I am learning to adapt,
This pushes me to focus more on a great UX, which I love, but more than that, the part I kinda hate,
the marketing,
But I think I hate it because I don't know it
I guess if I taste some success in it, I will start to like it,
Also I am planning to just see it as a fun experiment,
I am also an idea guy, I have around 700 organized app ideas in my Notion, and I have a hard time deciding which one to focus, but my first goal is to learn marketing, so it won't matter that much, but it needs to have proven demand, since I can't have two variables to work with, the idea should be proven, so if it doesn't work it just means my marketing sucks
I am trying to learn from the community a lot, and I will share here if I also learn something, which hopefuly I will
I hope we all reach our goals together, the pie is big.
