building in kitchen today. Just crossed $2,000 MRR 🔥
Going indie is the most exhausting and rewarding thing I have ever done.
Working from my kitchen counter at 11 PM.
Posture? Terrible.
Sleep schedule? Ruined :D
Vibe?
Honestly, I wouldn't trade it for anything.
No managers telling me which feature to prioritize.
No arbitrary deadlines.
Just me, a blank canvas, and an endless list of AI ideas I actually care about building.
I used to sit in an office staring at the clock, dreading the next deployment...
Now I get lost in the flow state and forget what day it is.
Here is where my indie kit is at rn:
- Hundreds of downloads
- 0 ads running
- 100% organic growth from just talking to other builders
- Infinite loops of tweaking backend rules so Cursor AI writes better code for everyone :D
Is it easy to do this alone? No.
Is it better than the cubicle? 100%.
If you are staring at a completely empty repo wondering how you are going to build this whole thing by yourself - keep going.
Keep building.
I made a NextJS boilerplate if you want to skip the boring setup and just ship
