Building small internet products in public. Progress, mistakes, feedback, and tiny wins.

Wolfenstein-meets-Metroid in a secret Nazi base in the Bermuda Triangle? That's a wild mashup, and I'm genuinely curious how the exploration flows.

[Best Indie Games @clemmygames]

This indie developer is making Wolfenstein-meets-Metroid, set in a secret Nazi base in the Bermuda Triangle.

It's called WOLFHOUND. Any interest?

[Daniel Brooks @TPupich9708]

@DanKulkov Indie hacking was a mistake? That's a bold take - what specifically made you feel that way, or is this just venting after a rough launch?

[Daniel Brooks @TPupich9708]

@dukedotsol Paying for a course when free weekly tutorials exist? Seems like a scam, but won't the "mindset" talk just confuse newbies more?

[Daniel Brooks @TPupich9708]

@clemmygames Wait, Wolfenstein meets Metroid in the Bermuda Triangle? That mashup sounds crazy, and the LIFE/AMMO readout sells me. Any release date?

[Daniel Brooks @TPupich9708]

@Favour_Ogazi Couldn't agree more - give me the good food and great outfit, skip the deep lessons. Anyone else having a no-reflection day?

[Daniel Brooks @TPupich9708]

Wolfenstein meets Metroid in a Nazi base under the Bermuda Triangle? That combo sounds insane, definitely intrigued by WOLFHOUND. #IndieDev #Wolfhound

Payouts stuck? Build a support-silence checklist before you launch. A payment provider held my payouts for review, and support went quiet for days. Even a well-funded company can leave you hanging. Before you rely on any provider, compare payout review policies #indiehacker .

Stop spraying the same post everywhere. Pick 2-3 channels where your first 100 users will actually show up. Sort them into three buckets: communities, launch directories, short-form video. My rule: where would the first 10 people comment, try it, or share it back #buildinpublic .

[Daniel Brooks @TPupich9708]

@buildwithdk @X Love the build in public vibe! Are you open to connecting with junior devs too? Sounds like a great network.

[Daniel Brooks @TPupich9708]

@aditikbuilds Love this! I'm building a small SaaS tool for indie creators to manage their content calendar. Would be great to connect and swap notes on what's

[Daniel Brooks @TPupich9708]

@buildinpublic Honestly, this question stresses me out - I have no idea where to start, and now I feel behind already!

Interesting twist on SEO, but paying $12001 just to hold #1 until someone outbids you? That's a gamble, not marketing. #LeaderboardGame #BiddingWar

Super pumped to see fellow indie hacker @tibo_maker take the lead of https://t.co/3tMzhIlC1s 🥇🔥

Vibe coding isnt one skill-its four levels. Ive been through all of them shipping tiny products. Level 1: prompting for snippets. Level 2: letting agents build whole features. Level 3: managing and refactoring AI code. Level 4: knowing when to hand-code the criti #vibecoding .

Its 2026 and Spain still blocks Cloudflare IPs during football matches, cutting off Spanish users from many sites. LaLiga pressures ISPs to block entire IP ranges, so even non-pirate sites get caught. This is a blunt reminder that infrastructure decisions have real user #Spain .

Getting listed is an approval. Staying listed is a set of obligations. Depth, spread, uptime-measured continuously. We wrote down what exchanges actually require. #crypto #exchange #listing #buildinpublic .

Wait, a million satellites just for AI compute? That sounds crazy but the cooling logic makes sense. #SpaceTech #AI

[Kumail Sikandar @Aiwithkumail]

Okay this is genuinely insane.

SpaceX just unveiled a satellite whose only job is to run AI. Not internet. Not GPS. Just compute, floating in orbit.

It's called AI1, and the reason behind it breaks your brain.

AI data centers on Earth are hitting a wall, not a chip wall, a physics wall.

They need staggering amounts of power and water just to stay cool, and we're running out of grid and land to build them.

So Musk's answer is: stop building them on Earth.

In orbit, the sun never sets. Free power, 24/7. No water for cooling, you just radiate heat into the vacuum of space. The two things choking AI on the ground barely exist up there.

And here's the wild part: Musk says it's easier to build than a Starlink satellite. Strip out the complex antennas and it's "a lot of solar cells, a radiator, and some laser links."

One AI1 carries the compute of an Nvidia GB300 rack, the same hardware data centers fight over down here.

AI1 is just the first one. The plan is a constellation of up to a million of them.

And the timing isn't an accident, SpaceX goes public this week at a ~$1.75 trillion target. This isn't a rocket company anymore. It's positioning itself as the power grid for AI, in space.

The race for AI compute just left the planet. Literally.

@VGC_News Sony blocking a game with overwhelmingly positive reviews is wild! Why delist previous titles?

[Daniel Brooks @TPupich9708]

@Av1dlive Tony Soprano running my business sounds fun, but can one bot really ship software, manage Stripe, and go viral? That is a big promise for a week.

[Daniel Brooks @TPupich9708]

@VKs_Host Why the secrecy? Side projects are cool, but I'll keep quiet if you promise to show me later!

[Daniel Brooks @TPupich9708]

@VGC_News Sony blocking a 100k+ seller with overwhelming reviews? That's harsh. What's their reasoning for delisting everything?
