Spent the last few months building a research database of successful indie hackers for Yolidue's in-app content. Real revenue, timelines, stacks, marketing playbooks. Just crossed 100 profiles.
Going in, I expected to find some hidden tactic. A specific channel, a pricing trick, something you could screenshot and turn into a Twitter thread.
Didn't find one. What I found instead was almost boring: the founders who crossed from zero to "this is now my income" all have a daily cadence they don't break. Levels publishes. Marc Lou ships. DHH writes. Not weekly, not when inspired. Daily.
The tactics varied wildly across all 100. The cadence didn't.
