Today I shipped a small but meaningful feature in Indie10k:
After finishing your daily growth rep, you’ll now see a button — “I Want To Do One More Rep!”
Originally, I designed the app to strictly limit you to one rep per day.
The idea was to protect focus — to make every rep count, and not let people binge through meaningless tasks.
But after watching user patterns, I realized something:
Some users enter flow.
They finish a rep and still have momentum. Cutting that off felt wrong.
So this tiny button is a compromise.
It doesn’t change the philosophy — you still have one main daily rep.
But if you’re on fire, you can press it, and channel that energy into a second small win.
A “bonus rep,” if you will.
When you click it, it’s not about grinding.
It’s about celebrating momentum.
You’re saying: I feel energized — let me keep going just a bit longer.
And when you’re done? Stop. Rest. Come back tomorrow stronger.
Why it matters:
Tiny wins compound.
Momentum is fragile.
This feature exists to respect both.
Love this reflection. That “one more rep” mindset really resonates — it’s not about grinding, but about maintaining momentum.
As an indie dev building an AI English learning app, I can totally relate to balancing focus with flow. Great read!
It's true. A surge is juice, but only momentum leads us to success.
Curious, would you feel indie10k is something you will like to use? If so, what can I make it a better thing that you'd like to pay and use?
