MRR progress bar in profile: is it becoming viral?
Some days ago I stumbled upon a tweet from @dr saying that he added an MRR progress bar to his Twitter profile.
Then, @jsjoeio went above and beyond, automating it — inspired by @yongfook tweet.
@levelsio also jumped on this micro trend (micro seems to be a trending word nowadays) and is now featuring his MRR progress bar.
Then, a few more cropped up on my timeline:
Have you seen other indie hackers adding it to their profile? Are you also planning to create yours?

What's the point of AI generated comments?
Why can't your target customers always find your product? - Experience sharing
Why I’m building an AI marketplace instead of another SaaS

thought it was a fun thing to add to my profile and it took me less than 15 mins to automate it.
don't over-analyze any more than that.
This is just a tool to show off. In the end influencer live off the fact that their audience didn't develop to the person they want to become:)
And, actually, influencer don't strive for their audience and the audience succeeds. Because that means, the influencer would loose follower:)
That does make sense.
It's a bit tacky, isn't it?
@noahwbragg started a thread asking who else is doing it here
Yes there are few others like noahwbragg, volodarik, damengchen
Not sure if you I'm going to do it.
Nice post! I was going to write something up on this but looks like I don't have to. :)
It's a nice to have.. maybe it's an ego thing.. I dunno, there's not too much value there.
Is there a tutorial somewhere on how to do this?
Could something similar be accomplished using IFTTT or Zapier?
Added docs this morning: https://github.com/jsjoeio/twitter-stripe-mrr/tree/update-docs#twitter-stripe-mrr
Probably! Another indie hacker did it with no code here: https://twitter.com/mddanishyusuf/status/1374277179610071044?s=19
@jsjoeio Thank you! Seriously, so helpful!
Question, why the focus on revenue when intuitively, net income or take home is what matters?
Thanks for the mention, Leo! I've seen a couple others add it. It would be cool to have a Twitter List of all the indie hackers using it.
