Indie developer Marc Lou rebuilt his personal website into a "digital clone" that aggregates his health metrics (sleep, recovery, biomarkers), revenue from 43 startups ($1.27M over 12 months), travel map across 44 places in 22 countries, a backup of all his tweets, his book, newsletter and GitHub commits.
He says the trigger was wondering what happens if he loses his X account, gets hacked, or dies. Top earners include TrustMRR ($40K/mo), DataFast ($30K/mo) and Ship or Die ($16K/mo).
