Yes, I’m Slashing One More Button Away From Indie10k!

Every time I remove a button, Indie10k feels lighter — and better.

I used to think more options meant more power. Turns out, it just meant more hesitation.
Users don’t need to think twice; they just want to do.

So I simplified again in project library page.
No more “Do it” or “Swap it.”
Just one clear choice: “I want to do this rep!”

Behind the scenes, it still works the same magic. But on the surface — pure calm.

It’s a small change, but every pixel of friction you remove is a small gift to your user.
They don’t thank you for fewer buttons, but they feel it.

I keep reminding myself:

Complexity is the tax you pay for saying “yes” too often.

Today, I said no — and indie10k said thank you.

    Haha, love the hustle and the iterative mindset! Funny how removing one button can sometimes move the needle more than adding a new feature.

    Curious — what made you decide to remove it? User drop-off in analytics, feedback, or gut instinct?

    Also — what’s been the biggest driver in pushing toward your Indie10k goal so far? Always enjoy seeing what levers people are pulling in real time.

      Ty! I dogfood indie10k every day so

      You can see my biggest driver at https://indie10k.com/about
      I simply want more indie devs to have better outcome.
      Because without more indie devs success, Indie10k won't be a successful project. :)

      So, Indie10k is not just a project for me.
      It's a movement.
