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

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 💪

The tool I built for myself. Want in early?

I became the bottleneck The Part-time Solopreneur Quick one today. I need beta testers, and you're the right people to ask :) Here's the problem I kept hitting. I build mobile apps. More than one. And feedback comes from everywhere. App Store reviews. Google Play reviews. In-app feedback boards. My own to-do notes. All of it in different places. So I became the hub. Reading one inbox, copying a task to another, tracking what I already replied to, forgetting half of it anyway. The feedback...

I'll add social once I have users" is a trap

I'll add social once I have users" is a trap The Part-time Solopreneur Hey! If you’ve ever told yourself, “I’ll add [feature] once I have more users”, read this. I just spent months in that trap. The feature I gated: social in MotoLog (my Strava-for-motorcycles app). Friends, leaderboard, profile cards. I kept saying I’d build it once I had more users. Today I shipped it. And realized I had it completely backwards. The trap: “Social only matters once you have users.” The reality: Strava...

The 28-day experiment I just started

My app gets 59 downloads/month. I'm fixing that Hi, Quick update — I just launched a 28-day app marketing challenge inside the Indie App Accelerator community. The problem is simple: I have 9 apps on the App Store. Most of them get barely any downloads. My best app (Apnea) does well organically, but my newest one — Focus Lock — gets 59 downloads a month. That's not a product problem. It's a marketing problem. So for the next 28 days, I'm posting content every single day to see if consistent...
