@doktordos Hi Daniel, I'm Hlunur. I'm 38, dad of three, working full time as a software engineer and indie hacking after the kids are asleep. Lets connect!

[Hlynur Stef @HlynurStefDev]

@meiyouchen Congrats! What are your top tips on growing so fast in only 5 days?

[Hlynur Stef @HlynurStefDev]

@meiyouchen Had been thinking of trying out Mobbin, thanks for the code!

[Hlynur Stef @HlynurStefDev]

@TarunShipIt @trust_mrr Good luck, I hope it works out!

[Hlynur Stef @HlynurStefDev]

+60 followers since last night! I didn't think a "let's connect" post would actually work so well with getting in touch with other builders.

If you are a solo founder and are into tech, post your project below and I'll take a look. If we haven't already, let's connect!

[Hlynur Stef @HlynurStefDev]

@BattMatter Thanks, you too! I'll make sure to keep warm 🔥

[Hlynur Stef @HlynurStefDev]

@TarunShipIt Similar or same idea as @trust_mrr ? What sets your product apart?

[Hlynur Stef @HlynurStefDev]

@Stacki_TV I routinely pay a small fee in apps for a "remove ads" option. Might be an angle you could think about, ship it free with ads with a remove ads option. Maybe people would be willing to pay then?

[Hlynur Stef @HlynurStefDev]

@TarunShipIt Nice to meet you too! How's the building going? Do you have anything in production, any revenue yet?

[Hlynur Stef @HlynurStefDev]

@master_jpma I would not, I'd need more than that to support my family 😅

[Hlynur Stef @HlynurStefDev]

@NickelX @Domlokyn Viking marketing at it's finest

[Hlynur Stef @HlynurStefDev]

@SRuthrasan71495 Intereseting idea, kinda like accountability and getting founders to reach out to potential customers? Smart.

@FilipPanoski taking notes 📝

[Hlynur Stef @HlynurStefDev]

@JoyBoyeth Yeah, it surprised me.

[Hlynur Stef @HlynurStefDev]

@alexeyltd That's true and honestly sometimes building has to wait when you have to focus on family first, but it does teach you to be very productive with the little downtime that you get.

38 years old.
Father of 3 kids.
Just starting my solo founder journey.
Is 38 too late to start?

[Hlynur Stef @HlynurStefDev]

@TarunShipIt What's up Tarun! 👋

[Hlynur Stef @HlynurStefDev]

@meiyouchen What's up Kim 👋

[Hlynur Stef @HlynurStefDev]

Really appreciate all the recent follows!

It can feel a bit intimidating to dip your toes into this public building space on X but at the same time it's really inspiring to meet so many like minded people. Really inspiring.

[Hlynur Stef @HlynurStefDev]

@livesanches Sounds very similar to what I'm doing. Even when I'm out and about I keep checking their progress on the Claude mobile app 😅

@djraz369 Why did Apple terminate your account? Is there nothing you can do about it?
