I'll start:
I made a long blog post titled "The Most Powerful keyword in Google's History"
Did quite well on Medium and I truly believe it brought people a tonne of value!

It was a twitter thread:
🔥 Learn React in 10 tweets (with hooks) 👇
It went pretty viral, and it's probably the best short intro to React I've ever written!
I saw it the other day in my timeline! It must feel great to get retweets for something 6 months old. Totally deserved though, great content!
Neat! Yeah, it feels cool to have people keep liking it months later :)
I truly love this: http://influence.directory/creatorscape/
Didn't take as long as I thought. Not sure why this didn't exist before. It's incredibly useful to new creators and old creators alike.
It also proved to myself that "Influencer Marketing" is a subset of the creator economy.
I had 20+ blogs in my Medium profile but I decided I would only write ONE and write it beautifully. I deleted all others and wrote just one.
Here's the link: https://medium.com/craft90/now-new-and-neu-f42a0346d0c0
A paragraph from the article:
"We make different choices in our life. We assuming things. We judge what’s right and possible by looking behind. We stay rigid to our expectations confirmed by patterns of yesterday that we forget the outcome this time will be totally different. We sometimes forget that we are in charge of what we can do and create. We can construct a new, exciting, and ambitious life. But all this is going to be possible only if we let go of yesterday. With yesterday go all your biases, assumptions, judgment, certainty, knowledge, and confidence."
Made the home page of Medium, was a proud moment 😊: https://medium.com/solomonkingsnorth/the-extraordinary-case-of-mr-yamazaki-18739ebb4980
Very cool!

Writing for Software Developers is a book that I have been working on for about six months. It launches on Tuesday!
Good luck with the product launch!
Great question Louis! Can I add two?
Here is one from Quora:

Also I had a comic created as well (I wrote the story, but am not the artist):

This year I started a company that performs web app vulnerability tests. I am very excited about it! www.tritoninfosec.com
Hope you enjoy the links!
Thank you very much Lucas! I will take a look and I hope many others do too!
I appreciate you sharing them :)
How is your company coming along?
:) Always a pleasure! We are off to a good start! We have our first client signed up. So any overflow web app testing that needs to be done, they will hand it off to us.
Our goal is to enable people that would otherwise be destined to a low wage job and give them the skills and opportunity to perform web application security testing.
So are you providing training or am I confused? ahaha
Sorry I have no background at all in your industry!
You already have a client paying you in the ££££ range?
No problem at all! It is helpful practice explaining what we do to people out of the industry.
Our business offers web application security testing to companies. If your company depends on a web application for income, it would be wise to test it to find potential security vulnerabilities that could expose your client's data.
Our main clients are companies that already offer this type of work to their clients. When they have too much work, they can sub-contract the work out to us.
We have signed up our first client this month. However, due to COVID-19, we are expecting to start working only in September/October time-frame. Once that happens, we should be making somewhere between $$$$ and $$$$$ per year.
One of the main reasons why I wanted to start Triton Infosec, is to enable people who would be destined to low-income work to perform skilled web application security work. Our business doesn't offer classes as part of our business plan. But rather, our on-boarding process includes extensive training.
Hope that helps! I would be happy to get on a call to discuss further, if you like.
That's a perfect explanation even someone completely outside of the industry (me) can understand.
It's actually quite relevant to me as I am building a web application...
Thanks for informing me more :)

Both made it to the top of Hacker News and were discussed and shared a lot around.

It’s definitely this one: https://stackingthebricks.com/pick-your-brain/
A) I used the rules in the article to create the article
B) it gets shared more often than anything else I’ve ever made!

"A Machine Learning Environment with Ubuntu and GPU acceleration in 5 steps"
I wrote this post over 2 years ago after struggling for days on setting up my dedicated ML computer.
At the time there were barely any posts that covered the complete process in sufficient detail. Can't believe how fast things have changed.. So I decided to publish my steps and notes in an online article.
To this date it is still being read and I'm still receiving claps from people around the world for it. So apparently it is still an accurate manual.

Almost done!

The most comprehensive and practical piece of content I ever written.

I would say a recent one that shares a few approaches and templates to keep getting paid work during these times:

Most proud of: Privacy Has a Price We’re Just Not Willing to Pay. Yet. I tried to explain a key point about online privacy which, I think, is mostly ignored.
Most successful: How to Write Callbacks in Node.js Now over 74K views because it ranked super well on Google. I wrote it mostly to come to grips with a programming concept, apparently it helped others too!
My most popular post has definitely been this! No/Low code is a hot topic right now and I think people also found the post quite divisive.

People seemed to enjoy reading the story of going from idea to finished product.
😊 I have to say I was a bit surprised about the reception because (a) I write so infrequently and (b) it got 50-100x of the average reception of all my other blogposts.

I made a blog post a while ago, where I share what I think it takes to make a successful bootstrapped business:
https://www.kevinconti.com/why-didn-t-you-buy-my-product/
Specifically I talk about the concept of a 'pull' product, and why it's so important to make a pull product vs a 'push' product for indie hackers.

My reasons:
I posted here a few days earlier. Just because I wanted to tell people about something exciting that happened to me. I thought no one would care but it got to the first place in home page for quite a few hours. That was pretty awesome.

I'm not much of a creative person. I can tell computers to do a lot of things, but I kinda suck at storytelling. Every once in a blue moon something worth reading pours out of me. :D

The best researched article is this one that I finished recently: https://scalecuts.com/why-photographers-didnt-move-the-dial-for-airbnb/
Perhaps, the most useful from an Indie-Hackers point of view is this one :)

I made a blog post titled I Taught Myself Web Development When I Was 11, Here's What I Learned.
It did well because it had lots of valuable advice, was easy to read, had lots of awesome images, and had a podcast episode tied on.

I work in the animation industry and I wrote a blog post back in 2015 that described my experiences interviewing with DreamWorks Animation for a summer internship. So many students have reached out to me because of that blog post, and I feel a little bit proud every time it happens. I don't think there's a lot of content online that caters to people interested in working at the big animation studios, so I accidentally tapped into a niche.
My second interview with DreamWorks Animation
This is an awesome post and still relevant till today. Would you mind re-publishing on careermove.io?
To add to this - I just released this Indiehackers post too
