sab kuch waise hi chalta hai
jaise chalta tha jab tum thi
kaash tumhare jane per
kuch fark to padta jeene mein
pyaas na lagti pani ki
ya nakhun badhna band ho jate
baal hawa me na udte
ya dhuan nikalta sanson se
sab kuch waise hi chalta hai
jaise chalta tha jab tum thiโฆ
when youโre a DESIGNER, itโs natural to go extra miles for perfection
PROGRAMMERS tend to write reliable code which cover edge cases that may never happen
but when youโre a FOUNDER and handle all these, you learn the balance and that not everything needs to be perfect
You know one thing Iโve had to unlearn is this programmerโs mindset around requirements.
Programmer me looks at something like webhooks and doesnโt even question thatโs needed before taking money.
Wrong.
The way you did it is correct.
Nicely done!
โhow can a person who hasnโt designed can be good design advisorโ
thatโs how I comprehended it, whatโs wrong in it?
tweets donโt come with expressions, sometimes you gotta understand the sentiments ๐
confession time:
I didn't have Stripe webhooks setup for user subscription updates in Pika until ~$1000 MRR ๐ , was checking the subscriptions manually(worked pretty well tbh) ๐
Yeah, free API is being abused badly right now by bot scammers & opinion manipulators. Thereโs no verification process or cost, so easy to spin up 100k bots to do bad things.
Just ~$100/month for API access with ID verification will clean things up greatly.
for deciding to charge for Twitter API access ๐ช
hope basic tier costs at least $200 a month so we can get rid of all these @ memai @ replyai @ โค๏ธda @ lahsun

honestly, it does makes sense, they have bills to pay too
but we all are so used to free access to the API, hope the pricing is indie-maker friendly :D
UPDATE:
Response on this tweet was kind of overwhelming ๐คฉ
We've all ad slots sold out on Pika till April, excited to be partnering with some amazing Indie hackers ๐
Will open further slots in March end, if you're interested in further slots feel free to DM me :)
Just sent side-project updates and some interesting discoveries in my latest newsletter, highlights:
- Dockhunt, app to share macOS dock apps
- Personal site design by
I'm putting myself to launch a fun side project in less than 1 week. Let's see how it goes :)
PS:
- i have no idea about "image generation with AI"
- no idea about how to host stable diffusion servers
- no idea about email notifications and streams
LET's see how it goes
as a solopreneur, i try to optimise expenses on side-hustles for minimum spend and maximum ROI(๐)
that means sending emails manually, less services in workflow to help, no marketing expense, overall more investment in terms of time etc.
but I think I love it this way ๐
12 days still left in current cycle and my apps already consumed almost all of Vercel account's bandwidth
This month's bill is going to be hard to look at ๐

I've been trying intermittent fasting(24hr) once a week for couple months now, apart from being able to work/function long without eating much I don't notice any difference ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Anyone tried Intermittent fasting? How did it work?
1 week since I increased Pika's pricing from $12 to $15 a month for experimentation, have gotten 13 new paid users since then, which is confusing ๐ค
$12 a month feels about right to me, thoughts?
In India kids don't say "did you steal my pencil?", instead they say "bunty mdrchd ruk teri mummy ko batata hun tu pencil churata hai", and I think that's cute ๐
