I couldn't figure out why people sign up for CareerKit but don't upgrade

So I built a Claude skill that pulls analytics from PostHog and Google Analytics

It showed me exactly where the funnel breaks

Main insight: I don't have enough data yet. lol

[Nishant Modi @heynmodi]

AI is now the leading reason cited for layoffs

123K tech jobs lost this year

Meanwhile on Hacker News: CEOs who think AI replaces their employees are just bad CEOs

AI doesn't replace people. Bad leadership does.

[Nishant Modi @heynmodi]

Built a budget app for myself, 2 weeks ago

Just a simple AI tool to manage our personal finances in Switzerland

She used it for a few days and said, why not share it with everyone

So now I'm launching a waitlist

The best product ideas come from solving your own problem first

[Nishant Modi @heynmodi]

@merishabh_singh the, restructuring emails never stop

hang in there and keep that network warm

[Nishant Modi @heynmodi]

@ConsoomerLs lol the bar is literally on the floor and somehow companies still cant clear it

[Nishant Modi @heynmodi]

@notes2men depends on the company culture tho. at startups we grabbed beers and shipped code together, some became real friends.

at big consulting? yeah total theater. context matters more than blanket rules

[Nishant Modi @heynmodi]

@Demo4fhs everyone optimizes like free agents because thats exactly how companies treat them

[Nishant Modi @heynmodi]

@RecruitmentPq such a clean framework. why this role, this company part is where most people ramble but its actually the hook that makes everything memorable

[Nishant Modi @heynmodi]

@knowRowan the belief that you need permission or the, right credentials to build

waiting for imaginary green light while others just ship and learn

[Nishant Modi @heynmodi]

@brightafia Start small with something you can ship in weekends. I built my first tools in 2-3 week sprints while at my 9-5. Key is picking projects that dont need constant maintenance once live

[Nishant Modi @heynmodi]

Bad data leads to bad decisions

Been staring at a flat rev for weeks. 10K signups, $4K ARR.

Built a skill to pull from PostHog & GA.

Funnel works fine for getting people in the door

Breaks when its time to pay

You can't fix what you can't measure.

[Nishant Modi @heynmodi]

Building Careerkit

✅ 10K+ signups
✅ 6K+ monthly visitors
✅ $4K ARR
❌ No new paid user today

Slow days are pain when you are building alone

But Ive learned the only way through a plateau is to keep showing up

Back tomorrow.

[Nishant Modi @heynmodi]

150,000+ tech workers laid off in 2026 so far

Most of them hadn't touched their resume in years

I build a resume tool. I see this every day, people scrambling to update a document they forgot existed

Your resume is not something you write when you're desperate

It's something you maintain while things are good

Don't wait for the panic.

[Nishant Modi @heynmodi]

10,000 signups on CareerKit

$4K ARR

The gap between those two numbers is where I need to focus next

Traffic isn't the problem. Signups aren't the problem.

Getting people to pay is the problem.

Most indie hackers optimize for the wrong metric. I am one of them.

[Nishant Modi @heynmodi]

@Gottalovechaze the best people always have options and leave first

[Nishant Modi @heynmodi]

@Lifeof_AG01 slow burn is the worst.

[Nishant Modi @heynmodi]

@Bloke_Baz i post on Linkedin to get out of my corp career. Do i count

[Nishant Modi @heynmodi]

@Nithya_Shrii after seeing people burn out climbing ladders that dont go anywhere

I can say, put your energy where theres actual upside for you not just the company

[Nishant Modi @heynmodi]

@mide_io wait what else could it possibly mean lol

[Nishant Modi @heynmodi]

@PathOfMen_ the structure of even a coffee shop or library completely changes the mental game.

idle at home hits different when job searching already messes with your head
