Have indie founders ever thought of raising investment for their idea or app?

I have build close 2-3 applications till now, none succeeded. But, while starting building or even starting to market, I never thought of making it big enough. It is simply because I was working on small problems and creating small solutions for it and to be honest, never wanted to raise investments.

But, in the startup and saas scenario, there are companies and saas with minimal idea have taken investments. For me, investments are a way with which you come under pressure of increasing your numbes faster. While indie saas owners can benefit all the profits themselves while never have to be under pressure when app or startup is down etc.

What do you think? Raising investment is a good choice for founders or when is investment needed?

How do you actually measure remote productivity without just tracking hours?

Hey everyone! I have been working as a developer and project manager for a while now, and this is a challenge I keep running into.

We have been doing remote work for years, yet many companies still measure productivity exactly how they did in an office. They look at the hours logged on a screen or how quickly someone replies to messages. But sitting in front of a computer for eight hours straight does not automatically mean you are doing great work.

Sometimes you solve a complex technical problem in two hours. Other days you spend the whole afternoon just organizing your tasks. The time spent online does not always match the actual value created.

I really think we need to shift the focus. Instead of counting minutes, we should look at the impact of the work and the general pulse of the team. Did we hit the milestone? Is the quality of the output high? Are people communicating well?
