No viral launch. Just weekly shipping, smart listens, and a YouTuber boost.

I love building cool stuff as much as the next person, but sometimes you just need to frolic.
Don't forget to frolic.

Curious to see what model was the most popular over the weekend. Though given that Anthropic is consistently rate limited, I think they'll be the LLM of choice.

B2C founders: you don’t need to pivot to add B2B.
Coursera kept its B2C site.
They added a new section for businesses.
Tailored the messaging.
Now B2B brings in $136M a year.
Simple, smart expansion.

It’s Friday night, so naturally I’m thinking about how we all try to grow by piling on more.
More content.
More tools.
More features.
The pros do the opposite.
They simplify.
Then scale.
Less noise = more traction.
Anyway, have a great weekend everyone.

Just a heads up: If you're on Substack and want to boost your growth, try using Notes. I was pretty skeptical when they added the feature, but after being a bit more active there, my follower count has jumped 25% in just 48 hours.

Most startup advice is written like you’ve already made it.
Here’s some for when you're broke, tired, and unsure:
– Sell before you build
– Focus on cashflow
– Stay small, stay alive

I’ve got four daughters.
When I sit down to work, I don’t get to coast.
Every hour has to matter. For them and for me.

Most people quit because it’s quiet.
No likes.
No feedback.
No sign it’s working.
That silence is definitely part of the process.

indie hacking is f*cking hard.
people post revenue screenshots but not the stress, the sleepless nights, the uncertainty and doubts.
you're building solo, competing with teams who have way more money + time.
if you think this is some easy cash grab, you're gonna be disappointed.
