The TenK 6 Handbook — A Free Pocket Guide for Indie Devs

If you’ve ever spun your wheels on a side project, you’ll know the cycle:

  • Start excited → stall → abandon → repeat. 😬

I wanted to break that loop, so I wrote a small handbook.

It’s called The TenK 6 Handbook, and it’s 100% free to read online.

👉 Read the ebook here


What’s Inside?

Instead of 300 pages of theory, this is a pocket-sized method built around 6 simple loops:

  1. List — capture ideas worth testing
  2. Pick — choose one without overthinking
  3. Ship — deliver something small, fast
  4. Ask — collect actual evidence (not vibes)
  5. Measure — see what’s working
  6. Share — tell the story, attract feedback

Then… repeat.

Each loop compounds into momentum rather than “yet another half-built repo.”


Why Write This?

Honestly? Because I got tired of my own side-project graveyard.

I needed a system lean enough to actually use between coffee breaks, but structured enough to keep me accountable.

So I boiled it down, tested it, and now you get the cheat-sheet version.


Who’s It For?

  • Indie hackers tired of over-planning
  • Developers who want more than “just build”
  • Makers who like checklists but hate bureaucracy

If you’re trying to get to your first $1 → $100 → $1k in revenue, this will help you stay on track.


Grab It Free

No paywalls. No email gates. Just free.


💬 I’d love feedback — if you read it and try the loops, let me know what clicks (or doesn’t).

Happy shipping!
