I did the OSCP in April and I want to get done with OSWE by next year.
I have a good grasp of web basic attacks, etc and I have started to learn the different languages that I saw in the program's syllabus.
I'm also pretty new to python programming, but I think that it's easy since I have started scripting little things regularly now.

I would be buying the 3 month voucher and before that, I want to be as prepared as possible for the course, and I would be grateful if someone would come along on the journey.

If someone is interested, they can message me directly. Thanks!!

After an awkward or draining social interaction, I tend to replay everything in my head...

I'm curious about what people here actually do with those thoughts....

Do you keep journals? Write down everything what happened? Try to identify what triggered you the most or Set one small thing to try next time to improve ? Or do you find reflection just turns into more overthinking?

I'm especially curious about the difference between useful reflection and rumination. What makes reflection genuinely helpful for you?

I’ve been noticing lately that my social battery doesn't actually drain from just being around people. It drains from the constant mental editing.

​Trying to keep up the right voice for work, being the agreeable friend, and censoring my real thoughts just to keep things smooth. By the end of the day, I feel completely run down, like I'm totally disconnected from my actual personality.

​For anyone who has dealt with this kind of emotional burnout - how do you actually practice dropping the act and being more authentic during the day?

There is nothing worse than having a finished SaaS product ready to go, only to get bricked by a payment processor....

​Back on May 29th, our app was completely locked in. The code was tested, the UI was polished, and early users were waiting. All we needed was a way to process global USD payments, so we applied to Paddle.

​We expected a standard few days for review. Instead, we got 19 days of total silence.

​We sent multiple follow-up emails just trying to get a human to look at our ticket, but literally got zero replies. Our launch momentum completely tanked while we sat around staring at a pending dashboard.

​We are supposed to launch tomorrow morning. But instead of resting or focusing on marketing, I'm about to spend the entire night doing a massive, unplanned code overhaul.

​I have to completely rip out the old payment integration, rewrite our backend endpoints, and configure a whole new set of webhooks for a different gateway from scratch. It’s going to be an incredibly hectic...

​When you're shipping solo, legacy providers ghosting you right at the finish line is a special kind of hell.

​To the indie hackers building globally out of India - who are you actually using for international transactions? Learn from my mistake and build payment redundancy into your stack from day one.

what it is

QuiLie - you catch yourself wearing a "mask" (laughing at the joke that stung, saying "i'm fine," agreeing just to keep the peace), log it in 60 seconds, get one calm AI reflection back. over time it tracks your authenticity %, grows a little tree, gives you an archetype. mine opened at 10% - "the overachiever, hidden behind the mask."

​

backstory

kept noticing i behaved completely differently depending on who i was around - and i had no way to actually see the pattern, just feel vaguely bad about it. built this to make it visible instead of abstract.

​

tech stack

Python backend, React frontend deployed on Vercel, PWA + Android APK (direct sideload, no Play Store yet). AI reflection layer runs on Gemini.

​

what i learned

hardest part wasn't the tech - it was making it feel emotionally safe rather than like a productivity app with guilt mechanics. every design decision (watercolor cracked face, muted palette, "one calm sentence back, never a lecture") was trying to solve that one feeling. still not 100% sure i nailed it.

​

where it's at

v1.0, no revenue yet (payment integration being sorted), looking for early users and honest feedback more than anything.
