You guys should try Fibery.io

2. faster as speed or development? Gem ecosystem in Ruby makes it super fast to develop stuff, I'm not sure is there any ecosystem that rich with up to date libraries.

How this gem compares to other similar gems? just because it doesn't use threads?

Mate, that's how most best-seller non-fictional books work

that's exactly what we did and doing very well. After trying lots of stuff in the last 12 years and actively participating in the indie communities, that's the easiest way to make it work.

Find a popular product, pick a growing niche that product serves not so well (you can see that in reviews, twitter, etc) and build a specialized version of that product with a friendly and modern UI. When serving different niches, usually products require different configurations for each and get quite heavy and confusing. You can fix that by specializing on one niche.

You can try building similar sites as much as you want, you won't get to that level. It's about timing, marketing, etc not just building something and done.

I fit very well in the article description. It's not only about finding the right niche and riding the wave, is also about execution, otherwise competitors will eat you.

There's luck involved of course, but after 10 failed tries you'll get an eye for it. Just an example: there are sub-markets that don't have specialized products, they all use products built for everyone instead that specific niche, like instead of a CRM for everyone niche it down as CRM for mechanics (i'm sure there are many of them, but you get the idea).

What awful comments here, you're all criticizing something really exciting. Of course AI can't beat real humans, what do you expect? But it's closer we've ever been, especially since is available to consumers. People in sales and marketing know how valuable is this on improving conversion rates... if you're not in those fields, that's not for you, saying something it useless just because you have no knowledge in other domains, it's highly ignorant.

Not really. I can give countless examples of mediocre products with no marketing doing super well because the market really needed that product.

Some wales know about this and ejected? That's why the drop today?

more countries will follow.

I'm in this place of hiring myself out. It's extremely hard to find someone you trust and capable of doing at least good on something you did great yourself. Since they are not involved personally in the business (% stake) how do you find such employees? Should i always give a % otherwise i won't be able to find someone involved enough to manage critical stuff? It's like nobody cares enough... or at least what I found so far.

Exactly. Like in 2017, it's mostly fueled by hype. All big companies that invest in BTC are NOT "hodlers", after a threshold they sell everything or a majority. I don't believe tesla will keep bitcoin if goes below 30%-50% of what they bought at.

When the panic selling starts is game over.

The limited supply logic has meaning if people hold, if they don't, nobody will care it's limited in supply because there's no demand for it.

Guys, this page is for indie hackers, mostly with B2B apps. You all give examples supporting free plans B2C products from well funded companies.

Free plans are usually bad if you're a small B2B startup trying your way...even more so if you're bootstrapped.

I also see that people disagreeing with this tactic are talking more about how they like it to be, not how it's best for the business.
