Marcel Cruz on X: "MAKE This book by @levelsio was a great read to me. It showed me how to think when it comes to building a product, how to be fearless and how to iterate quickly. I'm still a work-in-progress indie maker, but my confidence increased after this read. 🔗 https://t.co/1ZPxTILh7u"
I've been indie hacking for a few months, and during this time I've found some resources that are inspiring and resourceful. Here are my favourite resources for #indiehackers: 🧵 👇
Gatsby I'm a JS/React developer, so I chose
@GatsbyJSto develop with. Gatsby is great for performance and fast development: - fast static site - code-splitting - image optimization - several plugins to automate/simplify common tasks 🔗 gatsbyjs.com
Chakra UI
@chakra_uiis my go-to tool when it comes to creating components and dealing with CSS. It has ready-to-use components like modals, tooltips and boxes with aspect ratio, on top of out-of-the-box accessibility and a lot more. 🔗 chakra-ui.com
Indie Hackers It's impossible to talk about indie hacking without mentioning Indie Hackers, right? So many inspiring stories from
@IndieHackersand a community that thrives in sharing their knowledge and helping fellow indie makers. 🔗 indiehackers.com
Indie Hackers Podcast Yes, Indie Hackers again, but now the podcast. There were countless days were motivation was low, but listen to
@csalleninterviewing other creators always brings motivation up, while learning a lot from their experiences. 🔗 open.spotify.com/show/4ex8hmrHC…
