17yo indie hacker shipping 1 TOOL EVERY WEEK with Cursor 🚀
Balancing high school & building Webapps/Chrome Extensions with a $0 budget. #BUILDINPUBLIC

[Konstantinsio 🚀 @konstantinsio]

I am 17, still in school, and I have one goal: Launching my own software business the day I turn 18.Starting today, I am on a 9-month challenge to build tools with a €0 budget. But I am not starting from scratch. Here is my story so far. 👇 (1/4)

What's the first app you open everyday?

[Konstantinsio 🚀 @konstantinsio]

For me, it’s locking in a 1-hour deep work block every afternoon after school before opening X or checking emails. Protects the flow state at all costs!

[Konstantinsio 🚀 @konstantinsio]

The hardest part of the #buildinpublic journey isn't coding, it's staying consistent.

What’s the ONE routine or habit that has had the biggest impact on your productivity this month? ⬇️

@jackfriks @postbridge_ Claude is going to hit rate limits after calling 50 churned users by phone! 😂

[Konstantinsio 🚀 @konstantinsio]

@robwalling Analysis paralysis is the silent killer of early-stage startups. Making a 70% decision today beats waiting 3 weeks for a 90% decision every single time.

[Konstantinsio 🚀 @konstantinsio]

@jackfriks @arthuryuzbashew Prime real estate is prime real estate, no matter where it is on the globe... or moon. 😂

[Konstantinsio 🚀 @konstantinsio]

@buildinpublic Polishing the core features of my SaaS using Cursor and dialing in the onboarding flow. Focus this week is pure UX and getting ready for launch!

[Konstantinsio 🚀 @konstantinsio]

@jackfriks Focusing on ONE main project instead of chasing 10 new ideas every week is the hardest part of being a builder, but this growth curve proves why it pays off!

[Konstantinsio 🚀 @konstantinsio]

@levelsio Consistency in distribution is so underrated. Most founders stop talking about their product after week 2, right before the momentum actually hits!

[Konstantinsio 🚀 @konstantinsio]

@DeniTheMLFreak That 5 PM energy wall is real! Respect for listening to your focus levels rather than forcing late hours when the brain is fried.

[Konstantinsio 🚀 @konstantinsio]

Are you a night owl dev or an early morning builder?

When do you get your best deep work done?

[Konstantinsio 🚀 @konstantinsio]

Google review approved! Tool #2 is officially "Ready to Publish"

A 100% local, privacy-first screen-time tracker & domain blocker built with React, Vite, TS & Chart.js.

Hitting the launch button tomorrow afternoon!

@tibo_maker Love seeing real data instead of just opinions. Spending $12k for immediate trial spikes and massive brand visibility might actually pay off long-term.

[Konstantinsio 🚀 @konstantinsio]

@corbin_braun 100%. Fixing equity structures or tax setups AFTER gaining traction is 10x more painful and expensive.

[Konstantinsio 🚀 @konstantinsio]

@jonathan_wilke Yes, full title gives much better context at a glance. Increases click-through rates for bidders, which makes bidding even more valuable!

[Konstantinsio 🚀 @konstantinsio]

@hshipit Exactly! Nothing worse than debugging a missing comma or misspelled key in manifest.json for 20 minutes straight. AI takes that cognitive load away completely. 🎯

[Konstantinsio 🚀 @konstantinsio]

How AI handles the boring part of Chrome Extension dev

Spent 3 minutes letting Cursor audit the manifest, inject store-ready 16/48/128px PNG assets and compile a clean dist/ production build for Tool #2.

No manual file dragging, no missed manifest parameters, no broken icon links.

The current stack for this 52-week challenge:
- React + Vite + TypeScript
- Tailwind CSS + Chart.js
- Cursor AI
- 100% https://t.co/YVnciWa5Rz.local (Zero Cloud)

Next step: Wait for Chrome to review and approve the tool!

@Nawani232 Cursor for surce because it has no limits

@damonchen Building a betting layer on top of someone else's viral product is peak X meta-game. Wild times! 😂
