Exploring the popular 'building in public' trend from my authentic perspective. I'll share personal experiences, including times it boosted my motivation and times it led to unexpected pressures or even negative feedback, offering a balanced view and a guide on how to do it authentically without burning out.

Navigating the overwhelming choices of modern tech stacks can paralyze solo founders. I'll share my personal framework, the 'Scrappy Tech Decision Matrix,' which helps me quickly choose the right (and often simplest) tools for rapid MVP development, balancing speed, cost, and future scalability.

As a solo founder, I don't have a marketing department. This post outlines my experimental, bootstrapped approach to attracting early users and generating interest, focusing on organic strategies and practical tools that don't require a large budget or marketing expertise. I'll share what's worked and what hasn't for my products.

The anxiety of needing to learn new tech or marketing skills quickly for each product, and my personal 'Rapid Skill Acquisition' process for efficient learning as a solo founder.

Forget the '4-hour workweek' fantasy. I share my honest, often messy, approach to balancing product building with personal life, and why 'balance' might be the wrong goal.
