  I've built Audio Diary (https://audiodiary.ai) which is in a similar space to Obsidian and found this post interesting, but very puritanical. Using funding as a "shortcut" to growth is very important as time is limited (by runway, lifespan, motivation, etc). He even says at the very start that he doesn't expect his app to live forever. If so, why not get some help to have the best chance of growth and get a great... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Ask HN: How many of you are self employed?

  I am working on https://audiodiary.ai as a solo founder, I recently have been getting enough income to just about cover my living expenses and haven’t received any funding and didn’t do any marketing, with 9k users so far since launch last May. It’s fulfilling and great to see people use and love a product I’ve built. I’m obviously highly motivated to grow so it keeps me busy. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Ask HN: What side projects landed you a job?

  Https://audiodiary.ai is a flutter app i’m building atm and it’s helped me get a few contracts. not really a side project and tbh I think it turns some people off. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Don't Build AI Products the Way Everyone Else Is Doing It

  Completely agree with the other commentator here—AI apps are lame. Disagree with the article though as I think there are use cases where calling ChatGPT is more than enough. What I did was build an simple old-school type app that aims to be solid and useful, and then add AI to give the user nice features on top of it. Users seem to be really happy with the result so far. https://audiodiary.ai. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Ask HN: How many of you are self employed?

  Self-employed, running https://buttondown.email as a solo founder. (My day generally looks like — 30% engineering, 40% onboarding + support, 10% marketing, 20% operations.) It was a profitable nights-and-weekends project from 2017—2022; took it full-time in 2022. I think the thing that I would say about self-employment is that people understate the day-to-day flexibility and overstate the month-to-month... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Ask HN: Advice for turning my side project into a real business

  I did this. I grew my project, Buttondown [https://buttondown.email] from high three figures to low five figures while doing it as a nights-and-weekends thing at Stripe and then quit to work on it full time. It was a great decision and I'm happy I did it! (I also did it, frankly, with significant runway in the bank if I needed it, and no dependents besides my wife so the tail risk of "this goes to zero and/or I... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago
