Do you do enough? Do you feel enough? Are you enough?
I know the Indie/Startup game well. It's long, hard, and sometimes lacks fulfilment (sounds like my Saturday nights too tbh).
Especially as a solo or duo-founder, you're just so busy doing stuff that you never really feel like you're doing anything meaningful...
I work 9-6, go to the gym, and then work on my side projects at night for the final couple of hours.
I feel like I never do enough. Never productive enough. I don't feel like enough.
Who else shares this?
I'm creating a supplement product developed exclusively for IH's to help combat lack of productivity. What do you guys think? https://www.noothackers.com/
I don't know if I do, feel, or am enough. I know that I try my best and that's all I can do.
Then you are enough mate. As you say, the best you can do is more than enough. Keep going man.
Hows Vidon.ai going for you? Funny enough I've built the exact same thing but the opposite lol: https://tube2blog.com/
BTW I effin love your homepage. Did you code and desig n it yourself?
Ah thats very cool! Together we will take over haha!
Things are going well, we've found a great niche by talking to agencies, as they have huge reach!
I wasn't looking for this, and It's completely fine if you're not interested - but would you consider teaming up on our projects?
Again, no hard feelings if not.
Wishing you all the best buddy :)
I'm currently exploring the product space on my own at the moment, but will probably start looking for a co founder once I start getting some product market fit.
All good buddy! Best of luck to you!!
Can I ask how did you create your animations and videos on your homepage?
In particular, the 'rank higher on Google' 'stand out on social' and the virtual 'give it a try' tab thing?
They're so cool and defo make me want to sign up lol
Hi Louis, start with this one, it's worth it, it gives you a great framework "why do you actually do it" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qp0HIF3SfI4&t=276s
Is its easy to grab traffic from social sites
Not anymore. Apart from TikTok.
What are you creating to get traffic for though?
hi how to get traffic from wordpress
What do you mean?
It's all about your why dude. Without it, it doesn't make sense
What's your why?
You should have confidence in yourself mate
How do I have confidence in myself?
And thank you for your comment bro. much appreciated!
So, I know self promotion is encouraged here on IH.
And I'm not intending to be purposely antagonistic towards you or the product you've put together, and all of the time you've spent on it.
But your product on your squeeze page is literally the equivalent of an erectile dysfunction supplement, aggressively targeting indie hackers with cognition enhancing nootropic drugs.
There's even a mention of testosterone boosting ability in your copy 😭.
It reads like a gym supplement ad.
It doesn't seem like any of the other commenters even clicked thru to the article or made mention of this.
Is this not against IH ToS?
from the other comments, looks like you are the only one clicked on the link...lol
See comment above bro ahhaha
Hey bro. I really do appreciate your feedback and how you've put it so nicely.
I don't know if you understand the pharmacokinetics of these drugs and their mechanisms of action, but these ingiridnets are backed by studies to prove their effectiveness - and yes that includes Testosterone.
Primarily Ashwagandha, Vitamin D, and Tongkat-Ali have all been used to genuinely increase Testosterone in young healthy males (trained and untrained).
This is a gym supplement (as well as a productivity supp). Alpha-GPC is both a nootropic for cognition and a supplement I use for boxing/gym as it increases power output upwards of 14%.
I'm not trying to be spammy and look like an ED ad. I put the landing page together a few days ago. I'm just testing to see feedback and see what IH's struggle with - so I can help.
I only added the link at the bottom last night, so that's why not many people have seen it. Although, I've had a few users message me already! Promising to say the least.
I genuinely want to continue having a positive effect within the IH community.
Hope this clears things up.
Lou
no however as @alex_vidon_ai says i can only try my best. yes i feel enough and i am enough.
That's the best you can do mate. I hope you're doing good.
What are you working on?
i have two projects one is this https://github.com/newbeelearn/sserver i am thinking if it would make sense to start a hosting service instead of giving it as a self hosted binary. There is another project related to engineering productivity for that i have to start marketing campaign.
Nice one bro! Keep it up.
How do you manage all this workload by yourself?
I have a fixed routine for work. I don't set hard deadlines on anything, i just create a task list of what needs to be done and everyday i prioritize some tasks based on the need (external request) or mood (when there is no expernal request) and get to it in my worktime. Once my worktime is over i get busy with other things i.e. things other than work, cooking/cycling etc. I am not sure if i am doing a good job :-) however it works for me as i am mostly at peace and contented with overall things.
