Technical engineer → indie hacker. Building SaaS in public.

Failed my first SaaS (0 customers). Now documenting everything: customer discovery, technical lessons, real metrics.

8+ yrs production systems. 1.5k+ readers.

🔗 meysam.io
atuin + ble.sh killing my terminal

10-30s startup wait with 191k+ history entries

jumping ship to try ddworken/hishtory and cantino/mcfly

moving from slow & rusty to nimble & fast.

Launched on ProductHunt last week.

11 upvotes. Not featured. Invisible.

But: 800 visitors, 7 email signups, and actual data to improve against.

Lesson: 15k LinkedIn followers = 200 impressions. The "audience" isn't the audience.

here's some thought on my daily grind: 💭

the faster I get to finish the chores I MUST do but I don't enjoy... 🫡

the sooner I get to get to things that I really DO enjoy doing and it enriches my sould 😇

time to get to work... 🏃‍♂️

unpopular opinion:

`ll` is better than `ls`

and if you have no idea what I'm talking about.. then we can't be friends

It ain't much.. but it's honest work..

avg 15min/day commenting on other people's post...

engaging in communities where I feel I can bring something to the table..

that's it.. nothing fancy.. no 6-7 figure ARR..
just daily grind and hustle

pay attention folks... another reason to use ISO-8601 time format instead of the idiotic "12-30-2025"

𝗜𝗦𝗢 𝟴𝟲𝟬𝟭 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗹𝗲𝘅𝗶𝗰𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝘀𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲.

meaning you can compare the string literals and it works!

you know how people post something like "I woke up to this new hockey ski MRR"?

well I woke up seeing that my post blew up in HN 🫠

nothing as sexy as those 5-6 figure MRR, at all... but still...

I did not expect this 🫡

Less than a day until we launch on Product Hunt

I'm not worried about rankings

I'm worried about whether this actually helps someone

That's the only metric that matters

Awesome Directories → 300+ curated launch directories → Open source

Friday 12:01am PST

See you there 🚀

not bad... not bad at all for spending an hour a day on social media marketing..

without drowning myself too much into this, I still get to get online, interact with people, learn from their journeys and their insights..

I'm happy with the result

48 hours until Awesome Directories launches on Product Hunt

Quick thread on what I learned building in public for 3 weeks 🧵

(Spoiler: Follower count is a lie)

I started with:

- 15k LinkedIn followers
- 200 avg impressions (lol)
- 150 X followers
- Zero engagement

Shoutout to parents who are builders...

working a 9-5 yet sacrificing a few extra hours at nights and weekends to build for their own dream

shoutout to those who didn't wait for the universe to happen.. those who get up, get the work done, and make things happen...

one step a time
