Welcome, introduce yourself! (Week of Dec 27th)

Rosie here -- the Indie Hackers community manager. Welcome! 👋

This short guide is meant to help you get the most out of Indie Hackers.

First, introduce yourself!

Indie Hackers is a community of people helping each other build profitable businesses and side projects. The key word here is "community." Don't be shy!

For starters, take a second to introduce yourself and share your goals in the comments below. 👇

Just say a few words about who you are, why you're here, and what you hope to accomplish or learn.

Take a moment to say hello to someone else as well!

Dive into learning.

We've interviewed hundreds of successful indie hackers. I recommend reading a few of their stories. It's a great way to get an overview of what's possible.

If you prefer audio to reading, check out the Indie Hackers Podcast Network and find a show you like.

Now is the best time to start.

There's no time like the present. Check out the "Start Here" page for a list of practical steps and articles that can help you take action.

Not only will it help you get started, but it should also introduce you to some of the best parts of the Indie Hackers community.

Good luck!

This is just the tip of the iceberg. If you're ever feeling lost or confused, post a question in the Meta group, or tag me (@rosiesherry) in any comment or post.

Don't forget to introduce yourself and say hi to someone else below! 🤗

    Hi, I'm Qudus from London, I'm a software engineer at a fintech company. I'm currently working on an app to help social media influencers/brands run giveaways and competitions to engage with their audience.

    Hi all! I'm a software developer who was making decent progress climbing the ladder, but realized that entrepreneurship is what really makes me happy. I'm currently on a note taking app that was originally built for myself. It has saved me countless hours at my day job and while building the product itself. I've been working on commercializing it the past few months.

    I love talking to other entrepreneurs. As a solo founder, it really helps to share stories and help each other out with business/product strategy.

    1. 1

      This looks great! :) Really like the "Stop Doomscrolling" idea. Bring back the wholesome internet!

      1. 1

        Thanks! I just found myself constantly wasting time scrolling FB or rescrolling all the same news articles when I realized that none of it was giving me any value. I do have a collection of bookmarks that I told myself I'd read when I have time so I built that function into Dynomantle.

    2. 1

      Hey there seems interesting. I tried signing up but got a 404 there :/ Anyway I am also a software dev looking to build out my idea, would be great to connect!

    Hi everyone, I'm a law student working on a tool to make personalized email a more effective outreach channel for founders. We have a free tool available at lionfish.ai and would love any feedback. I would also love to know: who out here has tried cold email? Does it work for you? Why or why not?

    1. 1

      Bit of a late reply but I just tried your link. What is this supposed to do?

      I’ve emailed people cold with some success, let me know if I can help

    Hi Everyone, I'm Danny. I've been reading stories of many of the successful projects here and seem to be in good company.

    My story can be summed up as this: after years of doing software consulting, I landed my dream job- then covid happened. Unemployed and soul-searching over the summer, I built BetterMorningReading.com to help me replace my social media habit with reading actual literature. Shipping the first version of it the night before I started my new job doing consulting again was an achievement in itself, and I wanted to avoid feeling like I hadn't at least put my idea out there. Since then I've continued work on the occasional night and weekend and hit a few milestones including making 100 books available, signing up a handful of users, and acquiring my first paying customer.

    Though I don't necessarily aspire to quit my day job like some here have or aspire to, I do look forward to continuing to develop BetterMorningReading and learning and growing with everyone here.

    Cheers!

    1. 2

      Love the idea Danny! Would be great to get more people off social media and consuming more useful and enjoyable forms of content :)

    My name is Jermaine and we are working on a Fin Tech app that will allow anyone to invest in the music industry by creating their own record labels

      Sounds cool. Share more :D

    Hey,

    I run a marketplace of vetted engineers lemon.io (about $2.7m GMV in 2020) and share about everything about it at volodarik.com.

    Happy to join and learn from the amazing community. Let's connect on Twitter.

    1. 2

      I love the spoopy graphics on the website :D

    Hello! I'm Jacob, a software engineering manager at a consumer tech company in Seattle. I've only recently discovered this community and got excited to see so many people exploring bootstrapped businesses. I've always wanted to start a business, but had assumed the VC route was the only viable one.

    I've been so inspired by all the storied on here and looking to make my own in 2021. I'm going to start by building a number of similar apps all focused on writing that are mostly of the scratch-my-own-itch variety. However, a big goal of mine this year will be to give equal time to not writing code stuff that doesn't come as naturally to me (marketing, user research, etc). Looking forward to hearing more stories and making some of my own!

  8. 2

    I know this will change - today I am a well seasoned developer with broad and deep experience both inside and consulting for a large number of organizations - and I need revenue for reasons well beyond the scope of this site or post.

    This means I'm a great value to anyone who needs help now. ;)

    From build and ship to code to product development, there is very little I have not done. I love helping businesses (people) grow, iterate, and get better.

    For context, I have helped businesses and startups of all sizes for 20 years. Yesterday I helped 2 startups at 2 very different stages. I spent 2 hours with one "Serial Start-UP Preneur" he walked away saying it was the most valuable time he has spent with someone in his 20 years doing his work. I LOVE helping people. That is why I'm here.

    My business site is https://indiehackers.stso.us and you'll find my number, and various means of contacting me there. For the TL;DR use this page instead https://www.sterlingsolved.com/engage

    I do have several startup projects that will find probably a way into this site in time. For now, I'm just putting myself out there as an individual - with open arms - ready to help.

    Ready to make the magic happen!

    +AJ

    PS ... read several of the posts in this thread, and it was great to "meet" you @qudeuce @ProfessorBeekums @volodarik

    Hey everyone new here from a phone call! I'm building a competitor to onlyfans its awesome.

    1. 1

      Hey Christopher, this already sounds like an interesting prospect. If you want to expand on it, feel free DM me at @AhmedGorashi11 on Twitter. I'd love to hear more about it! =)

    Javier here, software dev with a background in Systems Thinking/Architecture. Looking to make an e-learning platform that applies pedagogical science to make it more effective. (I want to solve the problem of people not finishing online courses). I am currently building it in public in twitter @javier123454321 and would love to connect with anyone doing that as well!

    1. 1

      That’s awesome! Would love to learn more, will give you a Twitter follow

  11. 2

    Hello there, I'm a business person (procurement and finance) and have been working for big manufacturing companies for a while now. I've gotten really interested in building software and tried the whole, learn to code and then magically found no-code, specifically @bubble.

    Current app is a Lessons Learned Software to help companies collect, consolidate and implement lessons learned from projects.

    Looking forward to feedback and building connections with you indie hackers that are smarter than me at this!

    All the best, Tom

    Hi,
    Am Guru from USA [currently in MN]; born In India [Southern Part of India - we dont speak Hindi; we speak Tamil].
    My spouse is a freelance literary translator - Spanish/French/Italian to English/Tamil.
    We both have a great love for Tamil - one of the most ancient languages which did not vanish, and is still read/written/spoken in various countries of the world.
    I keep helping friends with ideas, products, to make things better etc. Have always felt, do I have it in me to launch and run something on my own?
    Can I do something more in vernacular language as the language base is diverse in India, and digital penetration is increasing, want to build local lang apps to tap into the population that is left behind or forced to learn new language - mostly English.
    Want to combine this with my wife's literary translation skills. And actually BUILD something.
    I got so inspired in Indiehackers twitter feed, I came in and enrolled.

    Hey All,

    My name is Rick, I'm a British designer living in SF.
    www.rickyrichards.com

    I've always maintained a day job but have tried to launch many side projects over the years. Despite not hitting it big I've learned a lot and have amassed a great network of talented friends and I'm looking to meet more.

    I've got no plans but broad strokes for what I look for in projects...

    **- Making over 500k a year+ **

    • More than I can earn in employment, but doing my own thing.

    - Premium products / brands both physical and digital

    • I think my superpower is creating premium brands and I believe in 'less but better'. I also try to mitigate downside as even if a project fails I have more portfolio work to attract the kinds of work I like to do.

    - A project that entails adventure & camaraderie.
    The times I've been happiest in my life was when I was around friends hustling and making stuff happen. I try to look at my life as I'm the lead role in a film so I'd rather be broke than waste time doing something bland.

    Always interested to meet people with similar goals, especially if you're in the Bay Area so do reach out. My Instagram is @MrRickyRichards also.

    Rick

    1. 1

      Hi Ricky, I’m on the other side of the planet, but i have one or two physical products that might fit into your premium, less but better approach. Will connect on Instagram so you can see some of the work. Steve @themakerspace.co.za

    Hi, it's leon from beijing(I am a beijinger). I come here after I listened to the Acquired podcast recent episode introducing indiehackers. I am in the telecom. industry working for a US telecom. equipment company.

    I think everyone can be a hacker of his own life. Someone in China recently said "wechat is not the internet", I believe we can say the same for facebook and the like. I want to say internet is not the life, either. Hope we can expand our world, here, together.

    1. 1

      yes to expanding the world!

      Hey, also decided to join after the episode on Aquired.

    Hi! I was originally a hippie artist nomad but then I realised what I actually love the most is uphill mountain sports 🤙. I have traveled, photographed, and drawn many notebooks of sketches and generally created an astounding amount of content in a disorganised way, and came here to see if I can be more disciplined about it! I also write code but have only done so for work and to make silly and unfinished art projects. I grow weary of the conventional livestyles of those around me and want to see the weird ways people are earning clams in order to feed themselves while they pursue their best lives of shredding and rad creating.

    1. 1

      So what are your plans? What are you interested in creating or collaborating on?

      1. 1

        No plans! only eclectic enthusiasm for creation in general! In the most recent past I’ve made technical & travel zines, run a technical zine-making workshop, drawn geology explainer comics, and made some app side projects (an exercise tracker and an avatar maker). Usually squeezed between alpine climbing! and work. Those are some time-consuming activities.

    Hi, I'm Mike from Toronto. A lot of the work that I've done throughout my career has been around, entertainment and finance where I've been guiding management teams. I hope through being apart of this community, I'll be able to leverage some of the knowwlege and insights I have to create something of value.

    No product yet, only frameworks and knowledge ATM. Looking forward to changing that.

    Cheers.

I have been building 3 projects over the last 2 years and am hoping to launch them all in 2021.

    Hi, I am Kaan

    kaanuzdogan.com

    Originally from Turkey, currently an MSc. CS student at TU Munich and part time dev at MPDL. Based in Munich but looking into relocating, possibly to Berlin.

    I built the simple Turkey Google Trends bot and will be expanding it to other countries. I also have a side project to keep track of your Followers/Unfollowers on Spotify, and to see which of your friends are following your playlists (...yes you can't see this on Spotify). I also have a side project left rotting called Blogletter that will send you the posts of a blog chronologically as newsletters. To follow the stream of thoughts of great bloggers.

    Recently I've fallen into the rabbit hole of indie hacking. I'm aiming to build and write more public and meet some likeminded people.

    Hi everyone

    I'm Fabian but actually everyone calls me by my nickname Paul :)

    After starting and running my own startup for several years, I recently had a change of mind and went full indie in late 2020 and will use 2021 to continue to lauch my first paid media/tools product. I'm keen on reading other experiences and to connect with fellow indie hackers around the globe.

  33. 1

    Hieee everyone. Following the community from a long time and finally diving in. I am a generalist having experience in business, programming as well as marketing. gained a lot of experience working with different clients in past couple of years, and finally looking to productise my knowledge. 2021 is year of learning for me, and I will be experimenting with lot of small side-projects in this year with measured metrics to know I am building something meaningful. Looking forward to sharing what I build and getting tonnes of feedback.

    Hi
    The world needs a proper website on diving for beginners. So thats what I’m working on.
    Currently I’m doing everything myself, and have reached a high concept level, but I know the next steps will be difficult.
    I’m working “live” on www.underthesurface.pro where you can follow the progress.
    The plan is to launch in march if everything plays out right.

    Thanx for having me

    Hi, I'm Lorenzo and I am based in Helsinki.
    I worked as a business analyst for a few years before moving into web development. I still have a bunch of things to learn, so every project is a step forward.

  37. 1

    Hello all! I'm Raphael, co-founder of Droyd.

    We help teams share progress by automating reports on their key metrics, from any apps to Slack and other channels.

    Think for instance of MRR, in #general, every day. How many users we got this week vs the same week last months; sales activity targets in a dedicated channel... and so on.

    We've seen companies do this custom. It's a simple way to get everyone aligned on goals and build transparency. It creates great engagement and sticks from 3 to 100s of employee. But it's hard to maintain, tweak, add granularity when it's built on custom code.

    We're working on it as a bootstrapped side project. A few companies are using it daily already, and our goal is to get our first paying customer this month.

    We're also building it in public. You can see me tweeting about it on twitter and my co-founder Brieuc here.

    We'd love your thoughts on this so please share!

  38. 1

    Hey folks!

    I'm Nikolay from Sofia, Bulgaria. I'm a team lead at a service company and I have a handful of half-baked semi-abandoned side gigs.

    Currently I'm building an app for organizing your sport friends - contact groups for each sport you're interested in, so you can check who to call when your usual partners are not available.

    I have been reading IH for some time, and what a lovely place it is : )

    Cheers!

    Hello indiehackers. I am making 📚🎧 bookcasts.io which collects podcasts about books. I quietly let it into the live a week ago 👉 https://twitter.com/bookcasts_io/status/1340639800475336704

    I'm in the early stages of testing whether this meets a need both for readers/listeners & for book authors/publicists:

    • for readers/listeners, finding new books to read or going deeper by listening to authors of books they've loved
    • for authors, getting return on their podcast interviews by sharing with new potential readers or existing fans

    It is mostly no code: bubble, listennotes plus a little aws lambda

    I welcome feedback, questions or suggestions! Let me know which author podcast interviews have you enjoyed and I'll add them.

    Happy 2021. I have worked in enterprise systems for 20 years in consulting and corporate roles. The best part of that career has been working with late stage startups. I am not looking for investment opportunities, especially ones related to my real estate passion. Besides my corporate role in technology I also own a real estate development company so looking for opportunities where technology converges with real estate (development, acquisition, etc)

    Hi Guys! My name is Carlos, originally from Spain now living in the US. I am a software engineer with over 8 years of experience at a Cyber threat intelligence company. I just bumped into Indie Hackers and I wanted to be around to meet interesting people and get inspired by such amazing community.

  54. 1

    Hello World,

    My career spans just over 20 years going from software engineer to dev manager to product management leader. During that time I pretty much always was tinkering with an idea. Plenty of failed-stalled-quit projects along with a successful e-commerce launch and a not so successful video game launch (we shipped but didn't make back our marketing spend).

    During the 2 1/2 years that followed, I took a break, focused on work, changed jobs during a pandemic.

    Now that familiar startup itch has returned. Not sure where my journey will take me, but it begins again.

  55. 1

    Hi there! I am Anders from Denmark. I'm a trained doctor (MD), looking to make an app that allows people from all over the world to get in contact with top-of-the-line medical experts to answer whatever medical questions they may have, e.g. relating to a personal medical issue, need for a second opinion, etc. The idea in the longer term is to make the service free, if advertising revenue can sustain it. In this way, even people from 3rd world countries with minumum financial support can have access to internationally renowned medical experts (who are paid from advertising revenue). The dream scenario is to enable individuals with complex health issues from countries with poor health care systems to receive treatment abroad, all supported by donations and revenue from this app.

    I am looking for someone to help develop such an app, as I am technically inept.

    Looking forward to hearing from you!

    /Anders

    1. 1

      Hi Anders, perhaps we can talk, I have a doctor friend and I who are busy with something very similar, we are based in South Africa and this is a very big need. Our initial prototype we have done is a "self-learning" system to help get to initial diagnosis from a professional who "programs" the diagnostic flow - we were thinking of calling the system docknowsys or docnosys :). Let me know if you are interested in a colaboration.

    Hello. I'm a developer working on an ed-tech startup. I only have a few friends knowledgeable enough who could have an interest in my daily progress but I'm certain I'm boring them with comments on my every insight, plans, and features I create. Hoping to find a community who are getting excited about the same kinds of boring insights as I.

    Hey all, I'm a data scientist making decent progress climbing the ladder. I mostly enjoy my work, but feel like something's lacking. I want to explore (solo-) entrepreneurship as a possible solution for that. I'm hoping it'll bring me closer to where value is created, and that it'll give me more freedom to live more deliberately. No biggie... I'm not working on anything specifically just yet. Not sure where I'd start, so to start with I'm trying to write more, and to be more active on Twitter (and hopefully here).

    Hi, I'm Andre, I love coding and I'm passionate about teaching people. I've been part of a number of start ups and my main skills lie in Pascal (Delphi) and PHP.

    I started contributing to open source software in 2006 and have a concept called Tina4 - This is not a Framework. Its aim is to make programming fun and to do most of the heavy lifting. I'm a bit of an old school programmer and I know a lot of developers who get stuck where they're at, scared to move forward into unknown concepts.

    Tina4 is my answer to "upgrading" "old" coders into new paradigms of best practice. I have a fondness for tasting whiskey and I'm never far away from a guitar or piano as I love music.

    I'm looking for people I can mentor and grow with me on my journey of building a framework which is not a framework. Tina4 may be able to help get your coding dreams realised. Currently the language is PHP and I'm looking to expand the concepts in Python and Lua. At some point I may need funding but right now I just need community to grow.

    Here is the project link
    https://github.com/andrevanzuydam/tina4-php

    Happy coding & happy new year to everyone!

    Hi,
    I’m khadijah,
    I’m a y13 student in England, I study the sciences biology and chemistry and I’m really keen on developing an online business in the near future providing videos tailored for student learning and also tutoring for students.
    One of the key reasons of me using indie hackers is find out more about entrepreneurial success, how I can go about starting my online business, whether I should develop my online website myself by learning how to code, or get someone else to do it for me.
    Would love it if someone more experienced gave me further insight/ professional advice.
    Thanks a lot!

    Hello, I'm Manit from Toronto. I've been working in the corporate sector for ~9 years now.

    I'm looking to build a vertical community for a group of people that have a strong common interest, and I'd like to empower this community with features, such as video (recorded and live sessions), audio drop-in and community based Q&A, so that they can share and add value to each other. I have the same common interest as the community i'd like to build and have spoken to many friends who would benefit from this community. I've done the initial story boarding, identified the participants and value they derive from various actions on the community, and have developed the features required (mostly doable via off the shelf APIs) required to launch this. Currently, working on the wireframes for the website and the app. Also, I'm researching that how far I can take the product and build an MVP to launch beta with #nocode. I'm not a software engineer - my background is on the commercial side - strategic partnerships, M&A and growth. I've worked in different kind of companies (from consulting, start-up to big tech) across Asia and North America helping other entrepreneurs / businesses to either raise money or grow organically and inorganically.

    I believe staying connected with the indie hackers community would give me the motivation (maybe connect with resources) that'd help me take this from an idea to having product-market fit.

    Hi I'm Naman, writing from Amsterdam. I'm a game developer learning SaaS and I'm exploring ideas that I can build with limited resources. The idea of attaining financial freedom by building an online product that helps improve users' lives sounds so exciting to me.

    I've been listening to podcasts, following SaaS achievers on Twitter and other communities online.

    My main learning so far has been that there are 5 categories of online businesses:

    1. Data businesses: Easy to build if you have access to data(or restructured form of widely available data) that isn't easily accessible e.g. AdForum(20 years video ads library)
    2. Operation businesses: Tools that perform specific tasks for you. Great because you build once and sell forever e.g. Metafizzy(computationally heavy JS plugins)
    3. Aesthetic businesses: Enable you to build visually appealing brand for yourself or your business with little effort e.g. SqSpace(build a b'ful website), Calendly(a b'ful professional appointment calendar) etc
    4. Themed User Generated Content Businesses: These businesses rely on users to create content for them to keep other users engaged e.g. Indie Hackers, Twitter etc. General purpose UGC businesses like Twitter Facebook Youtube have all been taken, so now its about finding niche communities that need a discrete product with low noise
    5. Infrastructure businesses: Help you move something to the cloud. e.g. Hostifi(move Unifi devices to the cloud), Apexminecrafthosting(Minecraft server hosting). These businesses are backend heavy and don't need a pretty UI or great visual appeal. Ugly websites and single scripts doing heavy lifting is enough

    The goal is:

    1. Find a category that works for you
    2. Find a niche within that category that is underserved
    3. Build a website for your idea and reach the community where it is engaged online
    4. Get preorders or signups for the product before building it to gauge its appeal/need
    5. Go from idea to product within 3 weeks, while getting feedback from early adopters
    6. Profit

    Follow me I'll be posting more nuggets regularly!

    Hi, I'm Stanislav from Russia. I'm an experienced nomad and have 15+ years on executive positions in international business development and GR. Mostly in B2B for Oil&Gas and Aerospace industries. I can be useful for the community as a mentor in these topics as well as if someone is interested in talking about Russia/ business in Russia/ business with Russians and all this stuff. I also have a representative role in MXSPACE - Mexican aerospace association, and I had 5 years in an Advisory Board of a VR-production studio. In 2020 I've made a pivot and now I'm a solo startup founder. Of course I have some excellent people around with high level expertise in DevOps and creativity helping me to MVP and launch. 360 live streaming platform for travelers and local tour guides - is what I'm creating. In 2021 I'm going to relocate my startup and my family to Canada and manage all things as a Canadian company CEO. Here I'm looking for open minded people, brainstorms, discussions, sharing important thoughts, networking with founders from the USA, Europe and Canada. And probably advisers and mentors. HAPPY NEW YEAR AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS FOR EVERYONE!

    I’ve been a big Indie Hackers Podcast fan for a while now and thought it’s about time I joined the community.

    I want to push myself more as a developer so I recently decided to start knocking out some side projects I've been putting off. To start, last week I built an iOS 14 icon generator. myicon.io a fun little project that's helped me learn a lot more about working with SVGs. It was also fun trying out Tailwind CSS for the first time too.

    Hi everyone, I'm Liam. I've worked through a few beginner Python/Flask online tutorials (give me a shout if you want recommendations!) and now I'm trying to build my first web app.

    I'm under no illusions that they'll be terrible and make no money, but as long as I learn some new stuff I'll be happy. My main hobby is cycling so most of my projects will be related to that.

    I really like the idea of working on lots of small projects without investing too much into each of them - inspired by @tinyprojects Six months of launching tiny projects

    Hi, I'm a lawyer and angel investor who created a legal templates website - https://gigcontracts.com/ - that is of much higher quality and affordable compared to what's out there. These templates are based on my real world experience over 18 years. This is a modest start, but I'm interested in growing this site and building or partnering on other projects.

    Hello fellow humans! After leaving my full stack engineer job at big N, I spend roughly half my time freelancing (ML, data science, back-end) and with the other half I'm getting into entrepreneurship. I realized my big pile of (mostly bad) ideas has just been sitting on my computer, so I'm trying to learn how to validate them and gain enough confidence to launch something. Many of them are centered around my passion for music production and AI.

    I'm always happy to chat about music, Ableton, python, NLP, data science, etc. Don't hesitate to reach out!

    I hope to contribute to this community & to learn from these interactions. Cheers!

    Hello Hackers, I am a software developer and currently building a re-imagined API Testing DevToolkit, it would be no-code and will have an end-to-end feature set. Aiming to keep it easy for both devs and testers, and reducing the development to deployment time by 10 times.
    I like to represent my product in short as => (Easy + No-code) * (Functional + Load + Performance) of API Testing.

    I love the SaaS community and startup culture, looking fwd to meet and help each other here.

    Hello fellas, I'm Tony from SF, currently working as a backend engineer(even though I have literally touched every piece of the tech stack, from web to big data) for a visual discovery company. I haven't started anything yet as my side project, partially because of my busy daytime job, but I have always thought of this since I always have some tiny new ideas of apps that may be useful for some specific audience. So glad I found out this community so that I can be more motivated to finally get my ideas implemented! Eager to see what I can learn from this community.

    Hey guys!

    After getting my CS degree I tried to start my own startup with friends from school which is now http://opus-vr.com/demo a platform for creating web vr and desktop virtual experiences for art galleries and artists, the project has lost steam in the last few years but I'm still trying to figure out how to make it something that can self sustain.

    I currently work as a full-stack developer in NYC and am looking forward to being a part of this community!

    Hello, Mauro from Italy here!
    I spent 10yrs working as an engineer in the energy sector and recently shifted into data, at the not-so-young-age of 38.
    Moving from the traditional old-school family businesses to startups was the punch in the face I needed. Love the enthusiasm and fast pace. I'm not that creative, so don't have my own idea yet, but I would be excited to bring some value to the community.

    Hi folks!

    I’m Chris, and right now I lead a small team of research engineers doing applied machine learning at an enterprise software company. I’ve been lurking here for a while, high time I say hello! I’m here on Twitter.

      heyy good to know that you are working on machine learning project, i am really fond of this field and want to know where can we get all the required resources for the ml??

      1. 1

        Hey! It depends what you mean by required resources? Zero to expert is a long journey :)

        If you're new to ML, I recommend starting with Data Science from Scratch if you're more comfortable with code, or An Introduction to Statistical Learning if you're comfortable with math.

    Hi! Im Pablo from Spain, working remotely as NoCode consultant and willing to learn from this great community.

    Hi, I'm 23 years old and living in the U.S. After finishing college studying Business I spent the last year working as a Bonds trader. I quickly realized that the future is in software and if I don't quickly pivot my career, I will quickly be in the unemployment camp within a few years.

    So I quite my job, and decided to learn how to code... As I was researching the best way to learn I found out about the no-code movement which led me to Indiehackers.

    My goal is to reach profitability for my no-code venture on January 1st 2021.

    Hello,

    I've been reading comments here on IndieHackers for about a month and I thought it was time to finally make an account and contribute a little bit.  While I am new here, one thing is for certain, this is a special community. Unlike other corners of the internet where people are easily argumentative by any comment, the members here are genuinely interested in helping each other no matter how silly or contrarian a comment may be. That's pretty cool.

    As IndieHackers, we have similar goals in mind, so let's work together and achieve some of them.  Looking forward to learning more from the community and sharing where I can!
