A user once asked why I still answer support emails personally
Because every message is a window into how real people use the product
Feedback is the most valuable currency

When you build alone, you wear every hat
Designer, developer, marketer, support
The hardest part isn’t the workload
It’s keeping your energy consistent

Sometimes indie life feels like a roller coaster
One day, excitement from a great review
Next day, frustration from a random crash report
You learn to enjoy both

One of my early apps failed completely
Almost no downloads
But that app taught me more about marketing and product positioning than any course could
Failures are tuition

Some mornings start with coffee and code
Others start with user feedback that breaks your entire roadmap
Adaptability is the only constant when you’re building alone

There’s something satisfying about pushing an update at midnight
No fanfare, no marketing post
Just quiet progress
That’s what most real building looks like

Started the week fixing a bug I swore I had fixed last week
Turns out I didn’t
This is the indie cycle — fix, test, ship, repeat
Every mistake just means the system is getting stronger

It’s about enjoying the build

Three years ago, Sixbytes was an idea
Now it’s a small suite of tools helping thousands of people daily
Bootstrapped, steady, and growing quietly
The indie way works

Halloween thought
The scariest thing for an indie dev isn’t bugs or low downloads
It’s building something no one needs
That’s why talking to users early is everything

Every indie dev has that one feature they built just for themselves
For me, it was offline access
No one asked for it
But I needed it
Turns out thousands of users did too
Build what you need, and you’ll find others who do as well

A funny thing about indie life
You become your own product manager, marketer, designer, and QA tester
Some days it’s exhausting
Other days it’s freeing
Every day, it’s worth it

Now I think success means waking up excited to work on something that matters
It’s not hype, it’s consistency

Looking back, the best decision I made was not giving up after the first failure
Every failed idea taught me what not to build
And each one made the next product stronger

Sometimes I miss the early days of chaos
No roadmap, no structure, just raw energy and curiosity
Now it’s more focused — still chaotic, but with purpose
That’s the evolution of every indie dev

Every app update looks small on the surface
But behind that changelog line is hours of testing, rewriting, and doubting
Shipping small updates consistently beats waiting for the “perfect” version

Coding at midnight, debugging with coffee, testing a feature that no one will see for weeks
That’s the unseen part of building in public
The part that makes everything else possible

There was a time I released an app, refreshed analytics 50 times a day, and saw… nothing
No users, no downloads
But that silence taught me more than any success
It forced me to focus on solving real problems, not chasing metrics

When I first started building apps, I thought coding was the hardest part
It wasn’t
The real challenge was learning how to stay motivated when no one was watching, no one was downloading, and no one was cheering
That’s what builds endurance
