Indie maker tibomaker says his new product Squad is off to a strong start with $8k MRR, calling it his most ambitious product yet. Squad matches everything Grok Bot does, but lets you run any model you want on your team's own cloud computer. He sees it fitting best for established, revenue-generating companies, with the challenge being the lack of a simple story to explain it. A quoted RT adds that Tibo turned an $8M exit into a bootstrapped-only startup studio whose portfolio now exceeds $1M MRR.
