        We are building a data transformation and analysis tool which can work work with the Modern data stack. It is for data analysts who are familiar with excel but lack of SQL and python skills. It is a cloud-native product and can pay by usage.
        I hope we can deliver it in Feb 2001.

          Looks amazing. All the very best.

  10. 3

    For 2022 I decided to set myself some goals;

    1. Build 4 SaaS platforms in public 💪
    2. Write about my learnings ✍️
    3. Grow my Twitter followers to 5.000 🚀
    1. 1

      Good luck, Paul! You are truly indie hacker. Keep sharing your leanings on Twitter.

  11. 3

    Stop working as a freelancer and get the MRR goals I plan to for my SaaS.

    1. 1

      Great goals. What are you building?

      1. 2

        Lead Generation tools, I will add also routines for mass messaging, but I've read everywhere I gotta keep it simple and separate into different SaaS projects? Or should I integrate all features into the same SaaS?
        This is the website: https://leadgen.tools

        1. 1

          Good to know about your lead gen tool idea.

          Actually, I am also looking different methods of acquiring clients. Will I get client/s using tool?

          P.s. Never tried any tool.

          1. 2

            I am on the stage of "getting customers using my own tool"
            Like adding the emails as Linkedin contacts, Cold emailing, and right now coding a regular expression to get Skype ids to mass outreach with a function. It has worked so far.
            What confuses me, shall I adapt all these scripts and functions into the same SaaS? or will it be better to create different SaaS for different networks?

            1. 1

              Can't add anything. But, all the very best for this.

  12. 2

    Launch a multi-platform backup software and service.

  13. 2

    I’m gonna be kinda modest here as I have been having the hardest time getting anything started outside of work (super burnt out currently).

    1. Build something with React - Been a back end engineer for years now and I essentially forgot everything MEAN/MERN/full stack. Making progress here already!
    2. Generate my first $1 in revenue - told you, modest.
    3. Grow spiritually - 2022 I’m spending less time in the future and more time in the present 🧘‍♂️
    1. 1

      These are amazing goals. Good luck!

      I would love to add you in my Indie Hackers Twitter List. Are you active there?

      1. 2

        Thanks!
        And honestly, Twitter should be a resolution too...
        Find me @fdglabs

  14. 2

    I'd like to talk more with people
    Also, I would love to form a journalling habit

    1. 1

      These are good goals. Keep interacting & writing.

  15. 2
    1. 1k subscribers on my YouTube channel on Tech, Life, and Doggos - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfkoSZa1K63X5hTu-CrV9lg/featured
    2. Finish the NYU Deep Learning Course
    3. Get promoted to Sr. Software Engineer at my day job

    I don't have anything for my side project Caratdrop but doesn't mean I can't make one later!

    Happy new year!

    1. 1

    1. 1

      These are amazing goals, mate. Rock it in 2022.

    After years of tinkering finally launch a paid product and make money from it. Also building an audience by sharing more things on the internet which will hopefully serve as marketing for what I plan to launch.

  21. 2
    1. Do some building in public
    2. Reach + $1k/mo

    I can't wait to be free from my day to day job, it'll require more than $1K though :D

      Hope you achieve them. And 1k maybe less in US, but it's much more in India. :)

  22. 2
    1. Be consistent, both in shipping products & sharing my thoughts on Twitter and IH
    2. Create a product that's profitable (goal: $2k MRR)
    3. Meet and engage with new people
    4. Get out of my comfort zone
    1. 2

      Hope so you achieve all goals in 2022. Happy new year.
