The Indie Hacker Podcast with Fexingo · 2026-07-03 · 8 min
Episode 88 of The Indie Hacker Podcast dives into the story of Taylor, a solo developer who built a micro-SaaS called TweetGenie that scrapes Twitter data to help creators optimize their posting schedules. Taylor reached $10K MRR in 11 months with zero funding, no paid ads, and a product that does exactly one thing: tells you the best time to tweet based on your followers' activity patterns. Lucas and Luna break down how TweetGenie's simple API integration with Twitter's v2 API works, why Taylor chose to charge $9 per month (and never raised it), and how a single tweet from a well-known creator drove 80% of his initial user base. They also discuss the risks of relying on a single platform, the technical challenges of rate limits, and why Taylor's biggest mistake was not charging more from day one. A focused look at how a narrow, utility-first tool can win in a noisy market. #MicroSaaS #TwitterAPI #SoloDev #TweetGenie #10KMRR #IndieHacker #SaaS #SideProject #Bootstrapping #APIFirst #Revenue #ContentCreators #SocialMedia #Tech #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #IndieHackerPodcast #Fexingo Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
