Hello y’all :D Haven’t been posting here for almost a year. I think I need to be more active here! So what happened while I was offline: - built 2 SaaS projects that made some money - created a portfolio of my projects - started building an app for dog owners! - and much, much more!

Just posting and commenting isn’t enough to build a personal brand. You have to: - Provide value - Engage with others - Show up every day

Dovydas @dovydass.bsky.social · 10/04/2025

Today I: - Slept for 8 hours - Walked for 3 hours - Implemented a new calendar view feature in my time tracking app - Made dinner for me and my wife - Got some rest Life is good

Building in 2025 with AI feels like the early .com era all over again. Opportunities are everywhere. If you’re not building something right now - you’re seriously missing the wave. #startup #indiehackers #business #ai #work

Yesterday, I took a day off - no phone, no PC, just me, my wife and our dog. It’s okay to take a break; you don’t have to work 24/7. You should also do meaningful things.

Dovydas @dovydass.bsky.social · 06/04/2025

Damn, there's no better feeling than a morning walk - early sun, birds, a bit cold. Those things are so fking special.

Dovydas @dovydass.bsky.social · 02/04/2025

The main 3 things I learned in the last 2 months just blew my mind. I knew them, but for some reason, I wasn’t doing them. 🚫 Don’t build in silence – you need traffic. 🚫 Don’t just build because it looks cool to you – use data. 🚫 Join communities – share your ideas, thoughts, talk, write.

Dovydas @dovydass.bsky.social · 02/04/2025

Simple principles for cold emails: ✅ One clear goal ✅ Sound human ✅ Personalize ✅ Keep it short ✅ Show credibility (past wins) ✅ Solve their problem ✅ Provide a clear next step (e.g., 'Reply if interested') #coldemails #colddms #marketing

Quick reminder for those feeling guilty about not hustling all day: 1️⃣ Hustle culture is toxic for your mind & body. 2️⃣ Deep work (2-4 hrs) > grinding 12+ hrs. 3️⃣ Working smart beats working nonstop. You don’t need to grind 24/7 to succeed. Focus on what matters. #deepwork #business #work

Dovydas @dovydass.bsky.social · 01/04/2025

The more I dive into the indie hackers community, the more I see people glorifying hustle culture 1. Hustle culture is toxic for your physical and mental health. 2. It’s better to do deep work for 2-4 hours a day. 3. Working more ≠ success. You have to work smart. #work #mentalhealth #health

Dovydas @dovydass.bsky.social · 01/04/2025

Man, my head always feels so fresh after walking my dog. Walking in nature gives me a lot of energy. Quick tip for you: Don’t forget to rest, you don’t need to hustle 24/7 #relax #deepwork #dogs #nature #working

Dovydas @dovydass.bsky.social · 01/04/2025

Yeah, 2025 is wild for creating and shipping. I think there’s never been a better time than now!

Dovydas @dovydass.bsky.social · 01/04/2025

Damn, nice results! Keep going, Macr! 💪

Dovydas @dovydass.bsky.social · 01/04/2025

Just finished my workout! 💪 To all my fellow indie hackers - don’t forget to move your body and stay hydrated. A healthy mind needs a healthy body! #workout #indiehackers #startup

Dovydas @dovydass.bsky.social · 01/04/2025

Am I the only one tired of seeing those ‘perfect’ morning routines? A few years ago, I chased them too. Now, I just stick to what works for me: ✅8 hrs of sleep ✅2-4 hrs of deep work ✅Time blocking Most importantly I don’t force myself into strict hours - I just do stuff ;) #productivity

Dovydas @dovydass.bsky.social · 01/04/2025

My March Results 📊 1. Cloudie – 40+ users, ~6 daily active (still free) 2. FreeInvoices – 500+ visits, ~30 daily active (completely free) Super happy with these results, especially since both projects launched in March! #indiehackers #startup #business #work #happy

If you think hustle = success, you’re dead wrong. Hustle only gives you: 1. Burnout & mental health issues 2. Decline in productivity 3. Poor work-life balance Grinding 24/7 doesn’t make you a winner - it just leaves you with fucked up mental health. #mentalhealth #work #hustle

010

Dovydas @dovydass.bsky.social · 31/03/2025

Looking back, it’s kinda funny, but I used to think hustle was the key to success. What did hustle actually give me? 1. Panic attacks 2. Anxiety 3. Stress If you think working like crazy will make you successful, think again. You’ll just end up with fucked up mental health. #mentalhealth #work

SEO is Dead for Online Businesses 1. AI-generated content floods search results 2. Users prefer AI tools like ChatGPT over Google 3. Google prioritizes AI, hurting traditional SEO What works now? 👇 1. Build a brand 2. Leverage social & YouTube 3. Learn from founders #startup #business #marketing

Dovydas @dovydass.bsky.social · 31/03/2025

After 3 years of building businesses and almost 1 year of working on my own, I started realizing my mistakes. 1. You need traffic. It doesn’t matter how good your app is 2. To get traffic, you either spend on ads or build your personal brand 3. TAKE SMALL STEPS EVERY SINGLE DAY

Dovydas @dovydass.bsky.social · 28/03/2025

Thanks! I changed it, but with the green color. You can check it out - freeinvoices.online

Dovydas @dovydass.bsky.social · 27/03/2025

After failing a few times, I’ve learned this: 1. Validate your idea first. 2. Think about marketing - how and where will you reach your audience? 3. If your SaaS is small, try niching down. 4. Don’t believe in overnight success. 5. Consistency is key #startup #buildinpublic #indiehackers

Dovydas @dovydass.bsky.social · 27/03/2025

I started freeinvoices.online just to solve my own invoicing problem, but here I am: bought a domain, built a landing page and made it completely free for everyone. Now, I’m getting ideas to improve it even further... and who knows, maybe introduce a pricing plan someday? #buildinpublic #startup

Dovydas @dovydass.bsky.social · 27/03/2025

You know what’s cooler than grinding 16 hours a day? Working smarter, taking breaks, and building something people actually want to pay for. No one cares about your ‘grind’ if you’re still broke. #productivity #hustle #indiehackers

010

Dovydas @dovydass.bsky.social · 27/03/2025

You can hustle all you want, but if you’re building something nobody cares about, it’s just glorified busy work. Solve real problems, not imaginary ones ;) #startup #indiehacker #business #buildinpublic #work

Dovydas @dovydass.bsky.social · 27/03/2025

Feeling stuck? Do ONE thing to move forward today. Big goals are just a collection of tiny steps. Start stepping. #indiehacker #startup #buildinpublic

AI generated text is generally not considered plagiarism because it produces content based on learned patterns and large datasets rather than directly copying from specific sources or the internet.

Dovydas @dovydass.bsky.social · 26/03/2025

Haters will hate, while others move forward :)

Dovydas @dovydass.bsky.social · 26/03/2025

What version is this? Looks like you’re digging up old info just to prove your point. I get it, you really want to be right, but guess what? :D You’re not. Just because you don’t know how to use AI doesn’t mean it’s bad, your opinion isn’t as deep as you think ;)

000

Dovydas @dovydass.bsky.social · 26/03/2025

Calling ChatGPT a "lying machine" shows zero understanding of how it works. It generates responses based on patterns in data—it’s not "lying" and it doesn’t "plagiarize" Funny how the lazy ones are usually those too scared to learn how to use new tools :D

200

Dovydas @dovydass.bsky.social · 26/03/2025

Interesting you say that because I do understand LLMs and generative AI. They generate patterns from training data, not facts. The key is knowing their strengths summarizing, coding, creativity and limits like fact-checking. You hate it because you don’t get it ;)

000

Dovydas @dovydass.bsky.social · 26/03/2025

OMG, did you even know AI is based on text? That’s like asking a kid to do adult stuff and saying, "Dude, this kid gets confused about taxes" With every comment, it’s clear you don’t know how to use AI, that’s why you hate it. Lack of knowledge.

000

Dovydas @dovydass.bsky.social · 26/03/2025

What do you mean by "regular basic"? ChatGPT handles basic tasks just fine, unless your idea of "basic: is building a spaceship or solving quantum physics. The problem isn’t AI; it’s your ridiculous expectations. Just another hater with zero knowledge :D

010

Dovydas @dovydass.bsky.social · 26/03/2025

Tell me why? Just because you dont know how to use or…?

000

Dovydas @dovydass.bsky.social · 26/03/2025

If you don’t know how to properly use AI, that’s on you. Just because you struggle with it doesn’t mean everyone else does. Maybe learn how it works before telling people to stop using it LOL

Dovydas @dovydass.bsky.social · 26/03/2025

Because an idea is worthless without action. I was in that position too, and I’m really happy that I’m finally taking action to move my ideas beyond just the idea stage.

000

Dovydas @dovydass.bsky.social · 26/03/2025

Why do so many indie hackers post screenshots of their Notion workspaces like that’s the key to success? Bro, go build something instead of organizing your to-do list for the 5th time. #productivity #work #indiehacker #buildinpublic

Dovydas @dovydass.bsky.social · 26/03/2025

Hey, I didn’t even think that my free tool would have users so early. LET’S GOO! #buildinpublic #startup #business #indiehacker

Dovydas @dovydass.bsky.social · 25/03/2025

I don’t know about you, but seeing posts about working from sunrise to sundown feels kinda weird. Humans can only focus deeply for about 4 hours. So how are you doing 12 hours? I’m betting the other 8 hours are just fake work 🫠 #productivity #DeepWork #Focus

Dovydas @dovydass.bsky.social · 25/03/2025

My secret to staying focused? "Deep Work" by Cal Newport. This book is an absolute game-changer—highly recommend it if you want to level up your focus and productivity :) #productivity #DeepWork #Focus

Dovydas @dovydass.bsky.social · 25/03/2025

After a long walk with my dog, I feel so refreshed and ready to work like never before. Remember: taking a break from time to time is essential. Your mind (and your work) will thank you :) #selfcare #productivity #indiehacker

000

Dovydas @dovydass.bsky.social · 25/03/2025

It’s okay to take a break - you’re human and feeling tired is normal. Rest, recharge and come back stronger. Trust me, even 1 day of self-care gives me a huge energy boost. #selfcare #productivity #mentalhealth

Dovydas @dovydass.bsky.social · 25/03/2025

This quote has saved me more than once: “Never let your mood dictate what you do. You have to take action first because movement changes your mood” Action beats procrastination every time. #motivation #productivity #quotes

Dovydas @dovydass.bsky.social · 24/03/2025

Quick tip for my fellow indie hackers: Don’t forget to work on marketing too. It took me 10 months to realize that I was working almost without any marketing and wondering, "Why the hell is no one using my tool?" I was missing a really important part. #startup #indiehacker #buildinpublic #business
