I'm 30. Solo founder from Germany Looking to connect with more marketers, builders, indie hackers & designers, or just people figuring out theyre distribution!

“just talk to users” ok where are u finding people who aren’t also trying to sell u something 💀 where did ur first useful customer conversation happen?

me: i need more customers also me: this settings page could use a redesign 💀 what are u “improving” instead of marketing lol

teaching a local model like gemma 2b starts with examples: here’s the input + here’s the answer i want. in a 2026 study, researchers trained a small add on while keeping the original model fixed, and gemma got more cybersecurity test questions right afterward. aclanthology.org/2026.nlpaic… what’s one job u’d want to teach ur own ai?

ur posts sounds better, so does everyone else’s a 2024 experiment found short stories written with ai ideas got better ratings but became more similar to each other. doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.adn52… where do u draw the line between using ai to write + letting it speak for u?

Hot take: marketing is more fun than building. a feature has a spec. getting a stranger to care about it doesn’t. what’s the weirdest thing u tried to get ur work seen that actually worked?

AI makes it easier to build more. i’m less convinced it makes it easier to decide what’s worth building. where has it actually made ur work harder?

what’s a 'best practice' u stopped following once REAL customers showed up ?

u lose ur X account tomorrow. how would ur next customer find u?

try local ai on pulling names + companies out of documents u want to keep on ur device. a 2024 study found gliner-l beat its chatgpt baseline on entity extraction, scoring 60.9 vs 47.5 f1. aclanthology.org/2024.naacl-… where could this help in ur own work + what would u need to trust the results?

when asking local ai about a document, ask it to quote the passage behind its answer. get the page number too + check it. as a 2023 study of four ai search engines found “only 74.5% of citations support their associated sentence.” aclanthology.org/2023.findin… which begs the question: u have an x-page document to get through. what would u trust local ai to handle + what would u still check urself?

what makes u uninstall an app 30 seconds after downloading it? forced signup? 10 welcome screens? a paywall before u’ve done anything? i’m doing a major rewrite of pocket orbit, my ai note-taking app, and working on onboarding today. tell me what to avoid below 👇

u can’t touch your code for the next 7 days. your only job is to get one new paying customer. what’s your first move?

i copied the format. the post was still mine. one of my best posts came from taking a format that already worked for someone else + adapting it to my own story, footage + point. do u call that copying or just learning how to get ur work seen?

if ai ran entirely on your device, what’s the first thing you’d trust it with?

u get $1,000 to spend on ur project today. where does it go?

Lets see where this goes lol

whats one subscription u refuse to cancel? curious what’s actually worth paying for every month 👀

whats the job of ur next post: get discovered, prove something sell a product or something different? are you aware?
