Like to create apps to meet own needs or those of others. Apps that are fun to build and use cool APIs or otherwise allow an opportunity to learn something along the way. Have in the past built the Mac apps: - OwlOCR (v1...v5) (acquired since v5) - Big Weather

Starting the 30-day maker challenge 🚀
I've decided to join the $100, 30-day challenge to becoming an indie hacker. The challenge is a great way to set constraints when validating a product and growing to profitability as quickly as possible. When building my first project, I spent $4,000 manufacturing a new physical product (failed). My second project, I spent 12 months working relentlessly to build a product that wasn't validated (failed). This time, I plan to be meticulous about the way I allocate resources. By choosing to stick to a simple concept, I've created a clothing label for passionate makers like myself, called Maker Threads. There's certainly nothing innovative about a clothing label, but I'm excited to already see promising results in comparison to my past projects. Current breakdown: Spend: $35 (Shopify monthly fee) Revenue: $44 If you're a maker who's ready to get serious about monetizing your product, I'd recommend joining the challenge to see what you can achieve If you've previously taken the 30-day maker challenge, I'd love for you to comment below and share your learnings throughout the process.
