Counted my side-project folder for 2026:

45 apps & websites
37 web · 8 apps

~4/month — on top of a full-time dev job.

Most “prolific indie” posts are ~6–8 products/year with no day job.

Not sure if that’s skill or focus. Probably both.

@Pawzgm That’s the whole idea. Add a pack as a row with what it used to cost, tap every time you don’t buy one. The week adds it up, the total keeps going.

[pertti studio @pertti_studio]

1.5k installs already!

@liechti_dev Thanks Steven!

@marclou Same here. I made 3 iPhone/Android apps in the time they reviewed my first. Crazy.

[pertti studio @pertti_studio]

Got 177 Android installs in 2 days, crazy!

Building my own mission control for all my projects, in public.

New: personas. It reads last week's DataFast visitors, AI groups them by what they actually did, and every visitor gets a label.

Agree, comparing changed vs untouched pages is the honest version. The hard part is knowing which pages changed. A deploy doesn't tell you that (CMS edits ship without one, and a shared component touches every page), and mapping code to routes is framework-specific.

So I'm making it page-first instead of deploy-first: read the sitemap's lastmod per URL, and since lastmod is often just the build time, also hash each page's main content daily. Changed hash = changed page, whether it came from a deploy, the CMS or a one-off edit. Then compare those pages to the untouched ones.

New Trends page. Once a day it flags what's unusual across all my projects: spikes, drops, records and weekly shifts. The AI writes a short overview, and Explain tells me what any change means.

[pertti studio @pertti_studio]

Good call. Trends now shows where a spike came from: the exact search query, page or referrer behind it, and it flags when it's not real traffic

Next: GitHub and Vercel connectors, so deploys show up as markers on the timeline.

The tricky part: a deploy rarely lines up with a spike. Google takes days or weeks to recrawl and re-rank, and Search Console data arrives 2–3 days late. So deploys will show as context on the chart, not as "this caused it".

Added a small AI box. It knows my projects and what each data source can show, but not my numbers. I ask "what should I track for Carvex?" and add its suggestions in one click.

New: combine data sources in one widget. Search clicks, signups and revenue on one chart, or a formula like signups per 1k clicks. Every source stops at the same last full day.

Today: a query builder for whatever data I've connected, like PostHog, MySQL or Search Console. Pick what to count, split it, see the result and save it as a widget.

New integrations for looker!

[pertti studio @pertti_studio]

Thinking about making it available to others. Would you use this?

[pertti studio @pertti_studio]

I was tired of jumping between DataFast, Search Console, Slack and my own database just to see how my websites & apps were doing.

Visitors here, clicks there, signups in a SQL query somewhere else.

So I built one app that puts it all on one screen.
