Starting my bootstrapping journey today

Hello Indie Hackers,

I am a Software Engineer with 6 years of experience. I have been starting and stopping projects on and off for a while now but finally, for the first time, I feel like I found my calling. I am super excited about this idea which I don't want to reveal yet but I know in my heart that I want to build this into the best product in my niche. I am just happy, pumped, excited, and wanted to share with the community. I am sure each one of you has been through what I am going through right now, but I wanted to share it with everyone. Wish me good luck.

    You have a business when you have customers. Learn how to describe the problem you will solve for your customers without describing your secret sauce. Explain what you can do for them without explaining how you do it.

    Welcome and best of luck! Would love to hear more about your idea!

    That's awesome. Welcome and congratulations!

    If you feel like working on it with a small group of other (mostly IHers), we have a new group starting Aug 15th for xoxo.vc

    Hey, welcome! You should definitely talk about your idea as soon as possible. Even before building anything. It's very likely that the upsides of doing so will outweigh any downsides.

    Hey, welcome to the community. It's good you already know how to begin.

    One small tip, Do log everything you do. It will help you in long run.

      Thanks @vd. Thats a good idea and I already have a habit of logging all my decisions :)

      I keep track of why I chose a particular tech stack or why I chose a particular niche etc. I may not write down everything but I make a note of decisions where I had to think twice or make a choice.

        Great. You are on right path then, I believe :)
