Just WOW. I wish I had written it!

I'm still in the first half of the book, but my mind never stopped thinking at all the insights I've come thru

This is really The Honest Guide to Indie Making. Thanks for sharing your story and struggles so openly!

I followed you because I bought your book yesterday and just wanted to let you know its really good. I'm currently on chapter 11 and was reading it until 2am last night.

Things I like:

1. The way you tell stories
2. You show your product weaknesses
3. Useful frameworks
4. You mention other Indie Hackers that I think are intelligent like Pieter Levels, Sahil and Arvid
5. I feel like Iโ€™m on a similar journey to you

Bought this on your recommendation. Just read "The Evidence of a Great Idea" graph and it's such a great way of thinking about 'validation'. Thankyou! ๐Ÿ™

Thanks! Your book has cleared up so much for me, Iโ€™m so glad Iโ€™ve found it

Yes, the book of @bagelsangranola is a great and honest No-Code / Indie Maker story

At $14 it's a no-brainer. Only a few more copies at this price.

Why did I buy it?

The maker of @hey_its_harold is going publicly with an infoproduct.

So much to learn from, and for 10 bucks is a bargain. Deal!
