The Indie Hacker Podcast with Fexingo · 2026-07-21 · 9 min
In this episode, we break down the exact playbook of a solo developer who reached $10,000 monthly recurring revenue with a developer tool that was exclusively marketed through Hacker News. We analyze the specific launch strategy, how they crafted the Show HN post, the importance of timing (Tuesday morning, 9 AM ET), and how they maintained momentum by engaging in the comments. We also discuss the product's pricing model - a single $29 per month plan - and how the founder handled the inevitable HN criticism. Plus, Luna shares her own experience posting on HN and what she learned about the community's expectations. If you're building a SaaS for developers and wondering if HN is still a viable distribution channel, this episode gives you the concrete numbers and tactics you need. #HackerNews #IndieHackers #SaaS #SoloDeveloper #10KMRR #ProductLaunch #ShowHN #DeveloperTools #DistributionStrategy #Bootstrapping #TechStartup #Coding #CommunityBuilding #RevenueGrowth #BusinessPodcast #FexingoBusiness #IndieHackerPodcast #Technology Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
