I’ll be honest: I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve built.
Some were pretty slick.
But most ended up in the graveyard ⚰️ — not because the code was bad, but because I had no system for growth.
If you’re a dev, you know the cycle:
Hack together a cool MVP 🚀
Push to GitHub, deploy to Vercel
Post once on Reddit
…then nothing. Back to coding.
And then: crickets 🦗.
The problem isn’t skill. You can code.
The problem is discipline around the boring, unsexy growth stuff.
That’s why I built Indie10k.
It’s not a course. It’s not a community feed.
It’s a growth gym for indie hackers — designed for people like us who’d rather write functions than cold emails.
Here’s how it works:
🏋️ Simple weekly growth loops (TenK6) you can actually finish
📸 Evidence tracking (notes, screenshots, metrics) so you see real progress
🔁 Nudges that make sure you keep showing up (like your startup workout plan)
My theory:
Knowledge is free (Reddit, YouTube, X).
Discipline is scarce.
Indie10k is about building the habit of growth, the same way you’d build the habit of testing your code or shipping features.
If that resonates with you, I’d love for you to try it and tell me what feels missing.

Let’s finally turn some of our code into real $$ (and rescue those side projects from the graveyard). ⚰️✨
