Why 90% of Indie Hackers Are Building the Wrong Thing

Every indie hacker is building "the next big SaaS" while the real money is in making boring software addictive.

The harsh reality:

• 90% of indie projects fail because users don't stick around
• Your "revolutionary" feature gets ignored after day 3
• Meanwhile, simple apps with smart recommendations make $50K/month
• Todoist isn't the best task app—it just knows what you need next
• Your users don't want more features, they want to feel understood

The indie secret sauce:

• One smart recommendation beats 100 generic features
• Personalization makes users feel like your app "gets them"
• Sticky products = recurring revenue (MRR that actually grows)
• AI recommendations cost $30/month, hiring devs costs $6K/month
• Your competition is shipping AI while you're debating color schemes

Stop building features. Start building habits.
