... everyone! I'm an Italian indie developer and I wanted to share a project I'm working on, hoping to get some feedback. As a huge movie fan, I used apps like CineTrak for years, until they started imposing limits on lists. I also tried other popular trackers (TV Time, Letterboxd, IMDb), but I couldn't find the perfect app for my needs. So, over the last year, I decided to build my own personal alternative

Then you open LinkedIn, X, or founder communities and see competitors posting MRR screenshots, traffic spikes, and growth wins nonstop. And if you do not have built-in credibility, it hits even harder. You are not ex-Google. You are not YC-backed. You do not already have a huge

... Real-World Use: From Wow to Daily Habit My daughter took her test of imagination seriously from the first press. As soon as she saw sounds happening, her eyes lit up and when the first print appeared a huge smile appeared followed by her immediately tearing off the sticker to color .

... most persistent and resilient. 2. If someone tells you there's a right or wrong way to run a startup, they are wrong. I've seen startups in all kinds of verticals, from tiny tools making millions to huge tools with no revenue, B2C, B2B, and everything in between, technically challenging and easy. There's no one-size-fits-all formula. 3. Beware of specialized experts preaching their method. When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like ... ... took us 3+ years to reach meaningful traction, and we were making $2k MRR in the first 2 years.

... This feels like talking to a PhD-level expert, he quipped, as the hype engines revved up proclaiming AGI s arrival. In reality, GPT-5 is a massive leap in speed, accuracy, and flexibility, with a huge focus on AI coding assistance, but it remains a static snapshot trained through April 2025, not a self-evolving mind.
