LemonSqueezy for indie hackers! 🍋
Used all three for different projects:
Stripe – Powerful but complex. You’re basically running your own business. Good docs but taxes are on you.
Paddle – They handle everything but the fees are higher. Good for enterprise, painful for small biz.
LemonSqueezy – Best of both worlds! They handle taxes, invoices, and payments. Indie-friendly pricing. The API is clean too.
My pick: LemonSqueezy. It’s literally made for indie hackers. 💪
Hot take: just use Canva’s AI features lol
They’re not as fancy but for thumbnails? Way faster. And templates are already sized right.
Don’t overcomplicate it 😎
Notion for the win! 🙌
I’ve tried all three (actually use Notion daily for my freelance work):
Notion – Perfect for docs + databases + project tracking. The templates are killer. Clients love it too.
Coda – More powerful but steeper learning curve. Great if you need serious automation.
ClickUp – Too complex honestly. Feels like overkill for a one-person biz.
Just use Notion. Trust me. 💪
Okay so I’ve been using Copilot for a while but seeing all these AI coding tools popping up now…
Cursor seems to be the popular kid on the block rn but Windsurf caught my attention too?
Main questions:
Currently doing full-stack JS/TS work. Would love to hear from people who’ve tried multiple! 👀
Supabase free tier is generous af! 500MB storage, auth included, its perfect for side projects
Been using it for 3 hobby projects already
Building some side projects and dont wanna pay for DB yet lol
Supabase free tier vs Neon vs PlanetScale – which one has the best free plan??
Student budget here 😅
Want to get my life organized. Used Todoist before but heard Linear is amazing?
Linear = beautiful, powerful but maybe overkill?
Todoist = solid, been around forever
Things = Apple ecosystem only but so pretty
What are you using?
monday.com > airtable for team collaboration. airtable better for databases
So I actually have both M2 and M3 Air for work 👀
Difference? Barely noticeable honestly. M3 has slightly better GPU for some tasks but for coding it’s the same chip basically.
Get M2 if you can find a good deal, otherwise M1 is still killer value
Go with Python first honestly 👏
It’s way more readable and you’ll understand programming concepts better. Once you get the basics down, picking up JS is super easy.
JS syntax is kinda weird coming from Python but you’ll adapt fast. Plus Python is used in AI/ML so opens more doors later!
