Stop trying to ‘innovate.’ Most indie success comes from improving existing solutions, not inventing new ones.

The secret to shipping faster:
Stop overengineering.
Your first version doesn’t need to:
- Scale to 1M users
- Have perfect code
- Look like a Fortune 500 product
It just needs to solve a problem.

What’s one thing you wish you knew before starting your first SaaS?
For me, it was realizing that marketing is just as important as coding. You can build the best product in the world, but if no one knows about it, it doesn’t matter.
