Jason's indie hacker journey

By Jason Leow

A weekly newsletter of real stories from building a diverse portfolio of products & services to $10k/m.

I've been enjoying Jason's newsletter for a little while as he shows how he's trying to build a diverse group of products to reach a certain MRR. I particularly enjoyed his latest post "shipping slow as an indie parent" (I can definitely relate!)

Below the Surface

By Alvin

From my life to yours—life lessons beneath the surface.

"As a software developer, I was asked how to get started with coding. My answer? Just start building something." - I love this quote from Alvin! His newsletter is full of anecdotes and stories about personal growth. Definitely recommended.

Music App Stuff

By Adam Linder

Music stuff, app stuff, music app stuff

Albums is a great app that I use regularly. I really like how Adam is using this platform to provide release notes with a lot more detail.

The New Fatherhood

By Kevin Maguire

"Like one big group text with other guys fumbling their way through fatherhood." — Esquire

As a relatively new father (I have two boys aged 4 and almost 2) I've really been enjoying going through the back catalogue of The New Fatherhood. Tons of great advice and links.
