Finally have confidence to take the plunge! Should I hire?
I've gone full-time Indie Hacker!
My SaaS has been a passion project for about 2 yrs, and before that it existed as an Elasticsearch database I shared with colleagues and friends interested in Internet scale cybersecurity research.
I'm doing something a little unique and haven't seen anyone announce they use or know of my technique, and I've kept very keen eye on my niche.
So it's time to learn how to make front-ends look pretty, i'm terrible at UI and will probably churn 90% of my time on it..
I have approx 2 years of runway, should I hire?
Sorry I accidentally picked the first option "A technical co-founder with frontend skills",
my actual vote is for "Remote frontend freelancer"
For option 1 - you really don't need a technical co-founder since you're already a technical co-founder yourself, this might cost more in the long run.
For option 2/option 3 - Best option in my opinion, especially if you find one that's competent. Cheaper and will save you a lot of time.
For option 4 - This will take a lot of your time, I think it's better if you focus your time on the startup.
That said - I'm a remote frontend freelancer, although my plate is currently full, I can recommend some people I know :D. Lmk if you're interested 😄
Thanks for voting. I'm interested, It would be part-time, and clearly yet to decide if it's the best option for us.
