Indie hacker's growth trick: ride every new LLM release with tiny theme reskins to boost MRR
marclou · x · 2026-09-25
Indie developer marc lou shares a lightweight growth play: build a tiny theme picker for your product (regular, "CornHub", "Chinese vibe" skins), then ride each new LLM release with posts like "I redesigned my site with Opus 5.5" to harvest trend traffic. Small dev cost, repeatable on every model launch — he admits his MRR depends on this kind of move.
