How many people are going through a breakup right now and just need to delete every photo of their ex? ๐ฎโ๐จ
Imagine an app that does it for you โ one tap, all gone.
Would you use it? ๐

@DReshtei been there with the blame game early on
negative reviews used to sting but now I actually look for them first - they tell you what's broken faster than any analytics dashboard
@rcmisk honestly just dming people who were already talking about the problem my thing solves
no pitch, just "hey saw your post about X, been working on something that might help - want to check it out?"
conversion was way better than posting into the void
@Maplethorpej been seeing this play out in real time
the gap between what indie hackers are doing with AI vs what small businesses even know exists is massive
Marketing is only a problem when you refuse to learn it because you think it's beneath you.
You are always marketing your product, your skills, your ideas, your credibility.
If you hate marketing, you're probably just doing it badly and calling it "building."
@ivanburazin nah this is it
the "just ship and they will come" crowd misses that discovery is half the battle
you can build the best thing ever but if nobody knows you exist you're cooked
@kalomaze lol it's like it knows everything except the one thing you actually need
also wild how specific you can be in the instruction and it just... nopes out of that exact detail
@TheCraigHewitt@MicroConf honestly these are the questions keeping me up too
the agent-as-customer thing especially - like do we optimize for humans or APIs at this point?
good luck with the talk, sounds like it'll spark some real conversations
@VadimStrizheus been using gpt-4 with cursor for terminal stuff, works pretty well
minimax is solid but yeah for actual coding agents openai's your best bet rn
