      Please don't make comments like this. You can go be negative a million other places on the web. I only have to say this to maybe 1 in 2000 indie hackers, tops. Don't be that guy.

    Spending time on things that will buy you time is always a good use of it.

    Favorite quote from the post :-)

    Like many here, I almost didn't read this because of the title. I think it's possible you don't care 😂 about that (I don't mean that in a negative sense). But I'm glad I did read it.

    Congrats! I was a little hesitant based on the headline, but was pleasantly suprised! As a content marketer my favorite part was this:

    "The right content, posted at the right time, can create unimaginable results."

    Way too many people try to find the "perfect time" to post a piece of content. But the reality is you just never know. So it's usually best to just publish content when it's finished instead of trying to "time it".

    The 2 hours of work doesn't matter.

    What matter is that you worked many years, so now you can do it in 2 hours.

    I think you and MKBHD have a similar affinity with black which may be what caught his eye. "Matte black everything!"

    First of all, props to you on being able to sell things that you think are cool to other people. It's crazy that if you do the right thing at the right time you can hit a home run, while enjoying it.

      I don't know how taxes are done in the UK, but in the US I would make a quarterly estimated tax payment Form 1040-ES using my estimated marginal tax rate multiplied by the windfall to avoid underpayment penalties.
