👨‍💻 I’m doing this for 7 days — want to join?

Published 4 months ago • 1 min read

Hey Reader

Last week, I was in Bucharest — mostly in vacation mode.
But I did some light work as well:

✅ Spent a couple of focused hours working on my app
✅ Posted content about it every day

And guess what? My downloads and trials started growing again.
No grind, no hustle — just consistency.

Then I went home.
Client work, real life, distractions.
Back to zero progress.

That’s why I’m launching something I’m calling:

👉 The 7 Hard Indie Dev Challenge
Like 75 Hard but for App makers. Just 7 days to get back on track and build momentum.

Here’s what you do each day:

🚀 Work on your app for 2 hours
📢 Post 1 piece of content (tweet, reel, blog, whatever)
🎯 No zero days

To help you stay consistent, I created a free Notion template with:
✔️ Daily prompts
✔️ Viral content hooks
✔️ A results tracker

P.S. If you want personalized feedback on your app or content, check out the Indie App Accelerator — it's where I can give people feedback, do calls, and help more deeply.

Let’s make these next 7 days count 💪
