HN is a fantastic indiehacker/solo-founder community.

We, the people, love transparency, numbers, and analyzing bootstrapped businesses.

What is your current (solo) project, and what is your monthly recurring revenue? Share your wins, losses, and tech stack.

New to HN, is it always so empty?

Asking people to share their project with revenue numbers rarely gets replies. Risk is too high the project gets copied.

Copying basically costs nothing. Successful marketing of a said copy is hard (and has always been).

Cannot leave unattained the fact ppl openly share metrics in various “those making X$/month” threads.

HN hasn't been an indie hackers community in years, if not a decade, so I doubt any is actually seeing this thread.

While I do partially agree, I’m still seeing sparks every now and then.

Not, usually it is not. Generally speaking it is a combination of nuances.

Hi Senad, building autonomous SecOps with agentic AI means serious API spend. Researching how founders handle cost control at scale. 15 min? No pitch.

Built a few projects:

- http://sfxengine.com/ $2000 MRR

- https://sparkpod.ai/ $250 MRR

- https://coderscreen.com/ $50 MRR :)

Definitely trying to focus on coderscreen since it has the most durable potential as a project.
