Is anyone here building WordPress plugins? If so, share them below! ⬇️ I’ve been considering developing a plugin myself. What’s your take? Is the market too saturated? #SaaS #BuildInPublic #IndieHackers

Ahahhaha I’ve been thinking about trying to create some Shopify apps. What’s your take, do you think the market is too saturated? Also, what kind of marketing strategies do you use for your apps?

If you’re building b2b and target enterprises customers can be hard for you to use your own product. I experienced this first hand when building safephishing.com

This sounds super interesting!! Would love to learn more

Love it! Get feedback as early as possible!

0xsmiley.bsky.social @0xsmiley.bsky.social · 29/12/2024

Solid approach!! It’s like saying hello to the project

0xsmiley.bsky.social @0xsmiley.bsky.social · 29/12/2024

Do you take advantage of having the product first for some early demos?

0xsmiley.bsky.social @0xsmiley.bsky.social · 29/12/2024

Love it! Definitely this type of information is crucial for validating the idea! Curious, what are you using for analytics?

Personally, I feel it's good to create some basic features of the product if you can incorporate them into the landing page, sort of a sneak peek.

010

0xsmiley.bsky.social @0xsmiley.bsky.social · 29/12/2024

When building your project/startup, do you: 1) Start with the landing page 2) End with the landing page I prefer starting with the landing page. It helps me define the vibe and direction of the app early on. How about you? #SaaS #BuildInPublic #IndieHackers

I did a similar challenge in 2024. My advice: don’t focus solely on coding, make sure to leave some time for marketing/sales Good luck !!

0xsmiley.bsky.social @0xsmiley.bsky.social · 23/12/2024

Honestly, I don’t think having a great product is enough on its own. You could build something amazing, but if no one knows about it, there’s no one to share it or benefit from it.

100% game dev in general is super impressive. So many different skills need to align

110

0xsmiley.bsky.social @0xsmiley.bsky.social · 21/12/2024

Yeah can be pretty confusing! Actually I've made a game in Godot looking back at the UI it's pretty terrible 😅

Just learned something cool about Bluesky 🦋 Your Bluesky handle is actually a domain name. For example, if you search for 0xsmiley.bsky.social, you’ll land directly on my profile. How awesome is that? #Bluesky

I can totally feel this!! Which game engine are you using?

0xsmiley.bsky.social @0xsmiley.bsky.social · 21/12/2024

For sure! You only fail when you stop

110

0xsmiley.bsky.social @0xsmiley.bsky.social · 20/12/2024

So true!! Having a marketing angle is essencial

0xsmiley.bsky.social @0xsmiley.bsky.social · 19/12/2024

That's a great way to frame it!! The 3 big Cs! Feels like a winning formula 🤩

Congrats! Cool project probably a lot of use cases in the real estate sector! I'm working on a Chess app, basically Duolingo but for Chess

0xsmiley.bsky.social @0xsmiley.bsky.social · 19/12/2024

Congrats!! I'm at 0 MRR, built some products but I really need to focus on marketing / sales. A lot more night shifts to come 😄

120

0xsmiley.bsky.social @0xsmiley.bsky.social · 19/12/2024

Exactly, I can completely relate to that! Do you have any plans for when you might make the leap to full-time indie?

110

0xsmiley.bsky.social @0xsmiley.bsky.social · 19/12/2024

That's awesome! Helping users is a definitely a huge motivation factor!

010

0xsmiley.bsky.social @0xsmiley.bsky.social · 19/12/2024

Absolutely, even if it fails no none sees it or uses the app. It's still a win. You only lose when you stop.

100

0xsmiley.bsky.social @0xsmiley.bsky.social · 19/12/2024

Don't forget to leave some time to marketing and sales

Are you able to stay fully focused on deep work during those 2 hours? Do you use any productivity tools, like Pomodoro?

0xsmiley.bsky.social @0xsmiley.bsky.social · 19/12/2024

Some of them are super obvious! Personally it's an Immediate red flag
