00:33 Idea 1

41:18 Idea 2

01:03:34 En finale

We talked about Marc Lou's being hacked and why it is not that bad.

Also a little about why VC-backed founders are actually poor even if they seem super successful.

The biggest part of the episode is John lecturing (again 😪) about how to make viral content on 𝕏 and Reddit. Pretty insightful, especially for makers who struggle to get attention with their content.

Enjoy!!!

This episode's biggest drama is coursebois vs makers 🤓 It is my favourite topic because I want to make a course, but I do not want to lose my reputation as a "real" maker.

And do not miss the "how to make viral tweets" part. 𝕏 is now accessible to anyone. You can build huge audience within a couple of years of constant tweeting. Check out how John did it to get from 0 to 40k in just 1.5 years or so. It is a gem.

Have fun!!!

In this episode, we explore the recent dramas on Twitter surrounding Product Hunt and its relevance to indie hackers. Listen to our debates over its understanding of its core audience, assess industry veteran perspectives, and examine emerging Product Hunt clones.

We also talk about insights on modern dev tools like Vercel, encouraging.

We also talked about Pear AI, the fork of continue dev that got into the YC without any significant code changes.

Oh and the new mkbhd's wallpaper app. Which is a good sign for the future of microapps and boilerplates.

Enjoy the special episode of The Indie Startup Podcast. We met in person and I asked https://x.com/johnrushx about his ways to generate startup ideas.
