Today is a memorable day! I got 3 sales in 3 different products: Supabugs (Unlimited), ReplyGeek (Pro), and Upvoted (Standard). Thanks to everyone who made this possible!

A casual breakdown of how software development has changed in the age of AI vs the old school way. 10 real-world comparisons, code examples, and some mildly panicked humor. https://www.nextscribe.cloud/posts/dev-life-then-vs-now-in-the-ai-era

A casual 2025 showdown of React state management tools: Redux, Zustand, Recoil & Jotai compared across 12 key points like performance, setup time, bundle size & more.

I'm going to work on a showcase directory page for all public project boards in Upvoted. What do you think?

New feature added on Upvoted: now each status column shows only 5 cards, with a "load more" button to fetch the others.

Just added expandible description on Upvoted feature requests. Now you can upvote longer features!

Just built and published my own NextJS + Supabase microblogging platform, NextScribe. What do you think? 👇

To optimize your Next.js app, leverage static site generation for pages that don't change often. This approach pre-renders pages at build time, improving performance and reducing server load. Consider using dynamic imports to load components only when needed, which reduces the bundle size.

How you guys can post 20-30 times per day? Where do you find the time? I'm using Reposter for my publishing calendar, but I can't find what to say more than once per day.

Balancing a corporate software engineering job by day and indiehacking at night is challenging but rewarding. The late nights and early mornings may be exhausting, yet each small win ignites the passion to keep pushing forward.

Launching a SaaS involves deciding between building from scratch for complete control or using a boilerplate for quicker development with pre-built components. While the former allows for unique solutions, the latter saves time but may limit your design choices. What's your strategy?

Building a valuable SaaS MVP starts with identifying a specific problem your target audience faces. Next, focus on developing core features that address that problem effectively. Finally, gather user feedback to iterate and improve, aligning your product with customer needs .

When building products, the MVP focuses on essential features to test the market. In contrast, the MLP (Most Lovable Product) goes a step further, emphasizing user delight and emotional connection. Striking the right balance can lead to not just adoption, but genuine love for your product!

Success in SaaS isn't just about hard work; it's about finding the right problem to solve. Two founders can put in the same effort, but the one who targets a pressing need will see results sooner. Focus on impact, not just hustle.

Building a SaaS app with Next.js is quick and efficient. Its features like server-side rendering and static site generation enable scalable applications. Simplified routing and API handling let teams prioritize user experience. With strong community, Next.js is ideal for both MVPs and full products

Building a SaaS? The options for programming languages are endless! From Python to JavaScript, Ruby to Go, the choices can feel overwhelming. 🤔 Each language has its strengths and weaknesses, making the selection process both exciting and challenging. What's your preferred SaaS language?

Corporate engineer by day, indie hacker by night. 9-5: Meetings, sprints, and stable paychecks. 6-12: Building MY vision, MY users, MY rules. One career pays the bills. The other feeds my soul. The secret? Skills flow both ways, making me better at both.

Boost your solopreneur productivity with the Pomodoro Technique: work for 25 minutes, then take a 5-minute break. This method enhances focus, reduces burnout, and helps you achieve more in less time while keeping your mind fresh.

🚀 Performance Tip for Next.js: Utilize Image Optimization! 🌟 Use the built-in `<Image />` component to automatically serve optimized images in the right format and size. This can significantly reduce load times and improve user experience. Don't forget to enable lazy loading! 📸✨
