The Indie Hacker Podcast with Fexingo: Solo Developers, SaaS Side Projects, and Independent Tech

Lucas and Luna explore the world of solo developers and indie hackers building SaaS side projects into sustainable businesses. Each episode examines a specific founder's journey — from the first line of code to first paying customer, through product-market fit and the grind of customer support alone. Lucas brings the numbers: revenue splits, churn rates, customer acquisition costs, and the real economics of a one-person tech company. Luna pushes on the human side: burnout, motivation, the loneliness of building in public, and the moment when a side project starts earning more than a day job. Together they dissect case studies like Pieter Levels' Nomad List, Marc Köhlbrugge's Bouncy Ball, and TinySeed-funded startups, always with concrete data and honest talk about failure. This is for the developer who has a domain name but hasn't launched, the bootstrapper hitting a growth plateau, and anyone who believes a single person can still build a million-dollar business. No hype, no funding rounds, no 'growth hacking' — just the real work of making software that people pay for. What does it really take to replace your salary with a side project? #IndieHacker #SaaS #SideProjects #SoloDeveloper #Bootstrapping #RevenueGraphs #Churn #CustomerAcquisition #ProductMarketFit #TinySeed #PieterLevels #MarcKohlbrugge #OnePersonBusiness #BuildInPublic #Technology #Business #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo© 2026 Fexingo.

Lucas and Luna also discuss the broader impact on the indie hacker community, where technical founders are increasingly embracing visual development to validate ideas faster.
