I've been hacking on little projects constantly since I was 14 and have always wanted to have something of my own going. I ran a social network in the late 2000's that worked like Facebook and Twitter do today with rich posts, inline media, etc but never thought to try making money from it.
I've tried numerous SaaS side project ideas but none have really worked out for one reason or another. I joined Indie Hackers because the people here are doing exactly what I'm doing, some with the same success and some with actual success :)
