I actually joined IH when it first launched a few years ago under a different name. I tried launching my own side projects many times, with feedback from fellow indie hackers, but nothing stuck.
Courtland built a great service and there was a lot of inspiring interviews - I never forgot them. It took me many years to finally launch something I consider a success and that is transforming my life on many levels.
I've come back to IH using my crypto handle because I hope my story can inspire people to keep trying.
