It's Friday night again. People are out drinking, dancing, partying. I'm in here, building, debugging, chasing the dream. Because I know - one day, it will all be worth it.

My monthly cost of living in Austria 🇦🇹 🏠 500€ rent (split with a roommate) 🥗 400€ food, lots of meat, fish, eggs 🍽️ 150€ restaurants, coffee 📦 120€ various expenses (online orders, etc.) ✈️ 80 € transporation (flights + in the city) 💰 50€ investing 💪 40€ gym + sports 📱 35€ internet + phone 🔄 30€ subscribtions Total: 1,405€/month

I just hit 4,000 followers 🥳 1 year ago: → 0 followers → 0 impressions → 0 users on own․page 2 months ago: → 650 followers → 100K impressions → 900 users Now: → 4,000 followers🚀 → 4M impressions 📈 → 1,400 users 🤩 Consistency compounds. Growth is not linear. If I can do it, so can you! Keep going!

Can we talk about how hard it is to keep building every single day when you still have $0 MRR? Shoutout to everyone doing it - full respect!

This is not my typical post and not what I usually want to share here, but I just had to… Because yesterday one of my posts went viral. Tons of positive comments, but also a shocking amount of hate. All because of stereotypes. Apparently, if a woman takes care of herself or looks good, she “can’t be” a developer or build a startup. Some comments were honestly disgusting. I even thought about showing a few of them But I won’t give those people that much credit. So yeah - I decided to show my face again even though it might not be easy after yesterday. If that doesn’t fit into your stereotypes, feel free to just not watch my content at all. I didn’t show my face for engagement or marketing. I did it because this is me and I’m proud of what I’m building. There are thousands of other people - and super good-looking guys - showing their faces too. Do you call them frauds? Do you accuse them of doing it just for marketing? So why the double standard? I’m not writing this to defend myself. I know what I’m doing and don’t need validation for it. When I was 19, I moved abroad alone to study informatics - in a language that wasn’t even my native one. I was surrounded by men in tech, and it wasn’t always easy to stay motivated, but I got amazing male colleagues with which we supported each other. I graduated at TU Vienna, did my master’s with distinction, joined a startup program, together with my Co-Founder we got 200K+ in public grants and support, wrote hundreds of thousands of lines of code, and didn’t give up when it got hard. So no, I don’t need validation. I’m writing this to encourage other people. Especially other women, who receive hate here - just ignore it. Focus on what you’re building. Do what you feel is right. Don’t let random people on the internet define your worth. Let’s break the stereotypes! And never judge someone if you don’t know them at all. Back to building and fixing bugs!

Today I hit 3000 followers! 🥳 0 → 650 took a full year 650 → 3,000 took exactly 9 days My advice - show up every day and keep the momentum going Thank you to every single one of you for being part of this journey 🫶

I finally unlocked monetization on X 🥳 It took: → 71 days of consistent posting → 5,000 posts → 5,000+ followers → Countless connections with amazing people I am genuinely happy and grateful! Thank you all for the support! 🫶 2026 is going to be amazing 🤩

I just launched own․page on Product Hunt 🚀 It’s my first ever launch there, and I’d really appreciate your support! If you could check it out and give feedback it would mean the world to me. I’ve poured my heart into own․page and devoted so much time to building it, so I’d love to get it in front of as many people as possible. Thank you so much 💜

Just got my first X payout 🥳 2-3 months ago, I thought this would take me 1–2 years. Turns out: Consistency compounds faster than you think. Getting paid now for posting and sharing my journey feels unreal. If you’re hesitating: lock in and post regularly. Thank you X! 🤩

Da Nang, I’m coming 🤩 Can’t wait to dive into the indie hacker hotspot and ship like crazy. Exciting times ahead 🚀

If you want to go viral on X, it’s actually pretty simple: → Quit your 9-5 and announce you’re all-in on indie hacking → Buy a MacBook and ask what you should install first → Book a one-way ticket to Southeast Asia to follow your dreams → Get your first paying customer and post your revenue dashboard → Launch your first iOS app and talk about how nervous you are about approval → Get rejected by the App Store (extra reach if it happens multiple times) → Ask pointless things like which AI tool people would delete forever → Work on a Friday/Saturday night and post a laptop pic about “the grind” → Share your monthly expenses in whatever country you’re in That’s it. That’s the formula. Follow me for more groundbreaking growth strategies.

While most people rest on Sundays, I work on my products and chase my dreams. And I genuinely enjoy it. Anyone else building on Sundays?

Me at 3:30 AM, finally solving a bug after hours of debugging 🤪 Is it ever possible to reach a point in product development with zero bugs?

I didn’t quit a 9 - 5 like many people here. I never really had one. I came to Austria 11 years ago. Left my family, friends, and my boyfriend to study. By the end of my master’s, I knew one thing: I wanted to build something of my own. Something I actually care about. So I stayed. Again, alone. This time for my startup. It’s 5:55 AM now. I’m at the airport, flying home. Moments like this hit hardest - especially around holidays. I miss my family deeply. Sometimes it's not easy knowing how much time I’ve spent away. But I also know why I’m doing this. And I know it will be worth it one day. One day, airports won’t mean distance. They’ll mean freedom. Travel. And time with the people I love. Building now. So later looks different.

My first video on X 🙈 I’ve been afraid to do this, but whatever - time to step out of the comfort zone. Quick update on what I improved in own․page analytics: • Faster loading • Several bug fixes • Better visuals Should I keep doing videos?

Explain your product to me like I’m 80 years old. No tech. Just why it matters.

If I can do it, you can too!
