I'm 30. Solo founder from Germany Looking to connect with more marketers, builders, indie hackers & designers, or just people figuring out theyre distribution!

every app is becoming a subscription. what software is actually worth paying for every month?

why do so many founders build tools for other founders? is that where the opportunity is or just where we spend all our time?

is building in public still worth it? or are u giving competitors a roadmap before u even have customers?

what if an ai model on ur iPhone didn’t need the internet? quantization shrinks an ai model so it needs less memory, by storing it with less precision, but output quality stays very close in one study, a smaller, specially trained Qwen model beat GPT 5 nano at identifying requests for sensitive information 👀 openreview.net/pdf?id=5EK40F… what would u actually use offline ai for?

30, from Germany Currently rebuilding my AI note taking app alongside my 9 to 5 👀 If you’re in AI or tech let’s connect ! Drop what youre building below 👇

would u rather have 500 people who regularly reply or 50,000 people who occasionally see ur posts? does the answer change if ur trying to sell something?

is building solo actually more freedom? or have u just given yourself every job in the company?

ai can build a working demo overnight. what would make u still hire a freelance developer?

is growing an audience still worth it for a founder if none of those people become customers? 👀

is living around other founders actually an advantage? or can u get the same opportunities from anywhere now?

what would make u leave X for a new social platform? better features? better reach? or are the people here the reason u stay?

is starting a business actually better than having a regular job? or does spending too much time on X just make it look that way?

100 people comment on ur launch. nobody buys. is that a successful launch?

a bigger creator launches a worse version of ur app + gets more customers in a weekend. what would u change about ur own business first?

“just talk to users” ok where are u finding people who aren’t also trying to sell u something 💀 where did ur first useful customer conversation happen?

me: i need more customers also me: this settings page could use a redesign 💀 what are u “improving” instead of marketing lol

teaching a local model like gemma 2b starts with examples: here’s the input + here’s the answer i want. in a 2026 study, researchers trained a small add on while keeping the original model fixed, and gemma got more cybersecurity test questions right afterward. aclanthology.org/2026.nlpaic… what’s one job u’d want to teach ur own ai?

ur posts sounds better, so does everyone else’s a 2024 experiment found short stories written with ai ideas got better ratings but became more similar to each other. doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.adn52… where do u draw the line between using ai to write + letting it speak for u?

Hot take: marketing is more fun than building. a feature has a spec. getting a stranger to care about it doesn’t. what’s the weirdest thing u tried to get ur work seen that actually worked?
