I noticed many people struggle to find clear, simple explanations of core ideas - so I built a site that solves that.

I'm also adding practical checklists you can run through before launching your service.

Plus, I'll share useful tools and resources there too

Just launched something new for all vibecoders

https://vibecode.care

It's a knowledge base with key concepts explained through easy analogies, all in one place.

It's free and especially useful if you're just getting started.

Sometimes we need to learn from young #indiehackers who #buildinpublic.

Many of them don’t have an imposter syndrome unlike us.

They just do all they can and often don’t think about architecture and best practices.
Love to read progress of newcomers.

Occasionally while building own #SaaS in solo one have to make several steps aside. It frustrates.
I want you to know: solo !== alone.
Come here in #buildinpublic and just drop a word about it. You’re sure will be encouraged by someone.
Sometimes easy at first look issue might be only the tip of the iceberg.
Going deeper into the issue you’re getting to realize that to fix it one have to step aside, and it’s not a step, it’s a huge number of steps.
But as soon as you fix it you’re overwhelmed with emotions.
And now you can go even faster. Tell about it in #buildinpublic community.
I love solving issues and become more experienced.
Solving issues makes us really stronger.

#OpenAI DevDay event almost started. I wonder what new opportunities it will bring to #buildinpublic community.

Recently there was a leak about new things.. but let’s see)

While working suddenly faced an issue with docker and want to share it with #buildinpublic community and save your time.

Command docker ps shows: request returned Internal Server Error for API route and version...

After some research I've find out that one need to install rosetta that solves the problem.

It turns out that if you have latest docker desktop they recommend to install Rosetta 2 manually:
$ softwareupdate --install-rosetta

Here is the [explanation] #docker (https://docs.docker.com/desktop/install/mac-install/) under "Mac with Apple silicon" section.

"Mac"

"Install Docker for Mac to get started. This guide covers system requirements, where to download, and instructions on how to install and update."

Sometimes you’re out of motivation and don’t want to write smth with #buildinpublic
If it’s a weekend I could suggest you to get motivation out of films :)

Here are some good for you:
- The billion dollar code
- Silicon Valley
- The Social network
- Halt and catch fire

Hey, #buildinpublic, do you have any plans to delegate development to someone in future?
Or maybe you’re already?

The main codebase in my project is written in Golang. And I was hesitating to implement some needed microservices in other languages.
But then I realized that it is not a problem cause later I can found someone and delegate development.
So a microservice in nodejs appeared in my project )))

When it comes to marketing, there’s no silver bullet.

Generally, it’s going to involve a mix of content (blog, YouTube, podcast), doing SEO, and some paid acquisition (ads, affiliates).

All of it will take time and effort, and your chances of success depend on:

- how well you understand your category
- how well you understand your customer
- how good you are at producing content, building a brand, getting attention, PPC, SEO, etc
