I few years back I made an ETH collectibles game, like Crypto Kitties, but simpler. It was just to learn how eth/solidity worked, but to my surprise people actually started buying and selling the items. It made me around $20k in a few

Cool, just signed up! Transitioning my Zapier-powered twitter alerts over. Love the thought you've put into this, like ability to hide results authored by certain usernames.

Nice work! I'd love something that alerted me to mentions in Discord servers. Not sure if that's doable without having a bot in every server.. but I'd pay for that.

I jumped from freelancing to full-time on my startup when I hit $2k/month.

Next.js does server-rendering and has API routes built-in. No need for Express or Fastify unless you like the DX of those frameworks better.

I don't see any issue with giving them a discount as long as you're covering costs (and future support requests). I do this fairly frequently when people reach out and ask if I have a discount for students, although generally don&

Been working on a React codebase generator ( https://divjoy.com ) for the past year and seeing some decent traction with agencies. There’s definitely a need!

I'll happily take "WIX for hackers" :)

Looks like the issue is that the element below it has a negative top margin of -22vw and is overlapping the button. Removing that fixes it for me ;)

Yeah I guess the game equivalent to my tool would be one that helps people build faster with Unity or Unreal. Like I do with React, better to latch on to a tech that already has huge mindshare. > Hit-driven markets that attract large num

Nice, cool idea. Is that a one-time fee or monthly? If one-time then I'd suggest emphasizing that fact and saying something like "lifetime access" (from my experience most people assume monthly for something like this). Also

My experience has shown me that tools that help others build faster can be quite profitable. Currently make my living from one such tool and most of my customers are indie hackers ( https://divjoy.com ).

This is my experience as well. One way to put it is that people that tend to demand more also demand lower prices.

What’s the advantage over just giving someone access to the repo?

I prefer to experiment with ideas and ideally get an MVP out way before officially deciding that I’m “starting a startup”. I worked on https://divjoy.com for 6 months on the side and only decided to jump into it full-time after

I've done the program twice and was one of the grant winners. I found the program super valuable, particularly the groups sessions. I really like the new continuous format and excited to keep participating. Nice work Kyle and team!

With Next.js it's just a matter of dropping a file in the src/pages/api directory. So I'd create API files like create-user.js, update-user.js, etc.

I generally use Next.js, Bulma, Firebase Auth, and Firestore. For more complex apps, will move Firestore behind a REST API and use react-query for data fetching/caching.

They're both awesome and I think have borrowed ideas from each-other. I went with React Query because I like the query key format (object instead of a string with SWR). https://github.com/tannerlinsley/react-query#

This is an interesting idea, but you need a lot more info on the site. The "how it works" section doesn't tell me anything. I'm assuming you're still expected to pay hourly? How does equity vesting work? Is this all

I got into YC as a solo-founder in 2012. Didn’t have any connections or go to an ivy league school. I was working on an app that was growing quickly and doing $15k/month in ad revenue. The odds are stacked against you as a solo-founder

I’m not particularly convinced consumers want to pay with micro-transactions nor that it makes financial sense for producers. What’s the experience? Do I need to click a button to commit to paying someone $0.01/week or is it somehow au

The only successful ideas I've had didn't seem like particularly great business ideas and I only had a vague sense of what I was building before I started. All the "great business ideas" I've had failed miserably. M

Honestly, I was just super tired and filling out my bio was one of the last things I did. I think a lot of people mention age because it's something to say when they can't think of anything else. Didn't mean to come off as ag

I'm guessing they mean everyone else could talk via text chat, which is the same with Chatparty.

Potentially allows for more people to be in a video chat at once. Beyond that though.. no idea. Thought it would be interesting to put it out there and see what happens :)

Hey HN, one of the creators here! This was for a hackathon project where we wanted to play around with a unique twist on video chat. It was also a chance to learn how to build video chat with the daily.co API (surprisingly easy). AMA.

I’m doing around $2k/month with https://divjoy.com , a tool for a React developers. Not wildly successful, but it pays the bills and I’m optimistic I can grow that to $10k+. If anything I’ve seen a slight bump from COVID. L
