After a hiatus from #indiehacking, I'm finally back in action! 💪 Life's thrown some curveballs, but I'm determined to reignite my passion for building in public. 🌟 #IndieHacker #buildinpublic

Made some progress with Socialbuddy today.

1. Google auth with passport in express 🟩
2. Authentication page and protected routes setup in Nextjs 🟩

The passport part took me a while though 😅

Is X premium worth it ?

@JFTucci How do you make this 😋

[Benard Ogutu @chiefogutu]

@salnetx Js honestly.

[Benard Ogutu @chiefogutu]

Motivation is a key factor when doing anything. For me staying motivated when building has been a major challenge. How do you guys stay motivated ?

Anyone tried Bloomtech before? Is it worth it ?

@thejorgemedina Yes I have

[Benard Ogutu @chiefogutu]

@grinich @authkit Not yet, how is it?

[Benard Ogutu @chiefogutu]

@nazranf_ I can relate 😅

My side projects life cycle:

1. Come up with an idea
2. Start implementing
3. Get stuck on some tech I don't know
4. Do research
5. Get bored
6. Abandon the project

How many abandoned side projects do you have😅.

@p_mbanugo @buildinpublic That's awesome, I just created an account on Cron Atlas, sounds like an interesting project. Looking forward to watch it grow.

[Benard Ogutu @chiefogutu]

@FlavienNorindr @buildinpublic So true

[Benard Ogutu @chiefogutu]

@fraserdeans Honestly it's a bad habit and I'm totally guilty.😅

Do you think 1 and 2 should be interchanged though, I feel like finding a problem and trying to come up with an idea to solve the problem should be a better approach.
