The Manifesto
- I.
Build what you'd use yourself.
The best products are born from personal frustration. We scratch our own itch.
- II.
Ship fast, iterate faster.
Perfect is the enemy of shipped. Launch early, learn from real users, improve constantly.
- III.
Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.
Every feature we add must justify its existence. Complexity is debt.
- IV.
Independence over infinite scale.
We choose freedom over unicorn dreams. Sustainable beats hypergrowth.
- V.
Profit is freedom — embrace sustainability.
Revenue is not a dirty word. It's what lets us keep building.
- VI.
One person can make an impact in the world, one commit at a time.
The indie hacker spirit: small teams, big impact.
