I’ve been a serial builder myself. Just building things on weekends, on holidays, every downtime available. Part of the reason is because I just like developing stuff and testing out new tech, but the other reason is because I like living an indie life.
Problem with this is that it is not sustainable, if you are coming from a somewhat wealthy / safe background you can pursue that with ease. But if you are a person with my background (little resources available) you can see that there are a lot of risks that come with that life. I know there are a lot of people that can relate to this and I also know a lot of people will be tempted to open and read this discussion.
Now I will be unapologetic in the fact that I indeed plugged my own project here but I am also presenting an opportunity to people similar to me. People who are risk takers, people with skills that believe they can start small and make a change to the world from zero. I want to help and reward those people.
If you are not one of them that’s fine but I would appreciate if you could keep your criticism more constructive less hostile.
Thanks for explaining. On HN there tend to be a lot of mindless, low-effort hucksters who paste their links without connecting it back to the discussion. As a reader, this is annoying.
You could have made a mean response to 'snap back' but you really turned it into an opportunity that made me want to check out your site. Thanks for that, I hope it works out for you.
