My tea is either 👍 or 👎 Just like my humour. Trying to grow my app to $500 MRR. Follow along for the ride.

What no one tells you about building solo:

- You won't hit your MRR goals as fast as you planned
- A newborn will humble your shipping schedule
- Small revenue is still real revenue
- Rejection from users teaches you more than praise
- It's worth it anyway

@JonBuildsHQ Got completely awestruck by my 5 month old when she smiled at me

@denisyurchak I've heard really good stuff about dataforseo apis from folks who do serious seo stuff.

[Mriganka @heymriganka]

people ask how I find time to build products with a 5 month old baby

simple:

I replaced sleep with conviction
meals with coffee
and investor updates with whispering “please just nap” into the void

[Mriganka @heymriganka]

solopreneurs delete and rebuild more than anyone realizes.

if you saw every failed launch, every $0 month, every feature nobody used.

you'd think they had no idea what they were doing.

But one app hits.

One pricing change clicks.

And that covers everything. That's the whole game.

daycare quote came in higher than my app's MRR.

so i asked my 5 month old if she could expense herself.

she drooled on the invoice.

taking that as a yes.

[Mriganka @heymriganka]

@theo Wtf this is mad cool

@LucaCaponeX Parental delusion is the best

[Mriganka @heymriganka]

my current stack:

frontend: next.js
backend: supabase
mobile: react native
analytics: posthog
funding: parental delusion
ops: bottle sterilizer
advisor: 5 month old baby girl with strong opinions on nap architecture

[Mriganka @heymriganka]

One thing I keep coming back to is how OBEDIENT your app is to your beliefs about it.

Tell yourself it's not good enough to charge for, and it won't be.
Your brain will find every bug, every bad review, every competitor doing it better.

Its not doing this to protect you.
Its doing this to obey you.

If you ship believing you're building something people need, it'll find proof of that too.

its often said "the market decides."
But you decide first.

build like it's already working.

be unreasonably stubborn

@robj3d3 Love it! Feels obvious almost

[Mriganka @heymriganka]

the secret to getting your first users isn't to go wide.

it's to find 5 people who would be genuinely bummed if you stopped building.

not 500. not 50.

five.

most indie apps fail because they try to make something decent for everyone instead of something obsessive for a tiny group.

find those people first. make them unreasonably happy.

that's the whole foundation.

[Mriganka @heymriganka]

@BatsouElef Yes, the foundation at least.

[Mriganka @heymriganka]

@BatsouElef My legacy

[Mriganka @heymriganka]

my 5 month old has been up since 3am, has no roadmap, ships nothing, zero revenue, and is valued infinitely by her investors.

strongest pre seed pitch i've ever seen. kids got potential.

[Mriganka @heymriganka]

Me: can you please centre the div?

Fable: hold my beer…

[Mriganka @heymriganka]

@annieqyang “Make no mistake”

[Mriganka @heymriganka]

@VoidStateKate Fuck this is both mind blowing and terrifying at the same time

[Mriganka @heymriganka]

i'm a little disappointed with my 5 month old daughter.

she's already slacking

she hasn't shipped her first agent yet
did not A/B test her own birth announcement
still fully human in the loop
babbles all day with no clear value prop

honestly, she should just consider becoming an astronaut.
