marclou · x · 2026-09-25
Indie developer marclou wrote a letter to his newly-created account: he once dreamed of 10,000 followers; today 400,000 people follow him. Citing his earlier confession of spending five years quietly building apps without shipping publicly, he pledges to keep building and sharing. He notes that after starting to build in public in Bali in 2022 and writing down a 10-year wishlist, almost everything happened within 3 years, often beyond what he imagined.
