This is the most inspiring story I have read. Thanks for sharing it, Tony.

I like this from Takeaway,

Ship early, ship small, ship frequently.

Practice shipping products more frequently to build “muscle memory”

Thanks Tony for sharing your story. It's inspiring!

Btw, may I know what prototyping tools you are working on your products? And design tools as well?

Tony Dinh's avatar

thanks!

I don't use any prototyping tools, I use photopea.com to edit images (like social poster images) for the apps.

A must read for all people who want to become indie hacker.

hey Tony,

thanks for this inspiring post!

I loved it when you wrote to be a generalist and apply the 80-20 rule. I wish you the best and waiting for the $90k/mo post.

What a story. Thanks Tony. I've always believed developers are the most gifted people in the world - they can code their way to freedom unlike anyone else.
