Building in public-ish 👨🏽‍💻
🟩🟨⬜️⬜️⬜️ $5K MRR 🌟

[Milod @milodific]

My 2026 has been crazy 🤯

🐣 My son was born in January
🚀 Launched first SaaS in April (CRM)
📞 Did 100 cold calls => $0 MRR (crowded niche)
☠️ Killed the CRM and built 4 iOS apps
💵 First dollar in June.
📈 experimented AND succeeded with ASO / SEO / AEO / AI vids / social growth
💰 $1K MRR in September!
🐦 I’ve been sharing my journey on X

In the mean time learning a ton about marketing + psychology 📚

Chasing my dreams has been the best thing I’ve ever done 🔥

Excited for what 2027 will bring 👀

If you’re an indie hacker, let’s link up! 🔗

@Biemjo I’m now submitting when I’ve literally got a domain and 3 pages up. Impressions start early —> by the time clicks come I’ll be built up.

[Milod @milodific]

Submit your sitemap the day you buy the domain.

Google takes weeks to crawl, weeks more to give you impressions, weeks more before a single click. That clock starts when you submit, not when you launch.

I lost about a month on my first app learning this. What's the one setup step you wish you'd done on day one?

[Milod @milodific]

I’m now about 5 apps deep. I’ve been building building building. I’m marketing one (semi successfully at 1K MRR)

I’m soon going to move into full marketing mode. I’m talking SEO, YouTube, instagram, TikTok, the whole shebang across ALL my apps. 📈

Follow off you’re tryna see how this story develops 🔥

[Milod @milodific]

@DanTtweets Constantly gotta reposition, otherwise I’m just chasing dead ends

[Milod @milodific]

What building 4 iOS apps in 5 months actually looked like:

CRM launched in April
100 cold calls, $0 MRR
Killed the CRM
Built 4 apps instead
11 users
23 trials running
Sitemap submitted on day one for all of them

Still not profitable. Still going.

@jilyannori How else are we going to all grow 🤝

[Milod @milodific]

Every indie hacker building in public should follow everyone else here. Real feedback, real users, and real MRR faster.

[Milod @milodific]

Everyone wants sustainable income until the work is slow and invisible.

[Milod @milodific]

@MarioNawfal not much of an entrance is it

[Milod @milodific]

@thsottiaux @antigravity It doesn’t look good when the company releasing a product that’ll take all our jobs keeps dunking on other companies btw

[Milod @milodific]

This is based on the trend of everybody making a video for their app.

The whole point of uniqueness is that it creates demand for something which nobody else has. If everybody has it, it’s no longer cool or unique.

[Milod @milodific]

everything you think LLMs are doing good right now design wise will be considered slop in 1 month time because all LLMs will build the same output

[Milod @milodific]

@BobLoukas The issue is that when you incentivize growth, everyone will do anything they can to grow

[Milod @milodific]

@greg_ip I mean, isn't that just how randomness works? If not them, another?

[Milod @milodific]

@aapakari I think I finish it about 3 days on avg before it resets. But I use ChatGPT too.

[Milod @milodific]

@antigravity Congratulations guys, a lot of hate coming your way, but you’ve done work and you should be proud of it.

[Milod @milodific]

@bobde_yagyesh @theo Thanks that’s another thing I’m trying to navigate — away from my laptop 😆 I’ll check it out

[Milod @milodific]

@bobde_yagyesh @theo How has it changed the way you work?

[Milod @milodific]

@denisyurchak It’s on my radar! Been there once, can never forget tbh

[Milod @milodific]

In the age of AI, your customer should not have to do anything in order to use your product. It should run by itself.

[Milod @milodific]

@theo Those are the exact things I’m using right now (Switching and alternating between the two) so I’ll look into this, thank you
