Hi Everyone 👋
Hope you are having an awesome week so far! If you are new, welcome! and thanks so much for being here.
Last weekend I took a break and did some doodling in Porcrate (a drawing software). I constantly hear good feedback about this software but have never tried it. It was fun to doodle and experiment without much of an end product in mind. This is a break that I very much needed.
I heard a saying recently: it is better for a digital product to be known for a feature than trying to cover all the bases. This is true for Procreate. This software is simple and focused on nailing the drawing aspect of the tool. It was a joy to use with so many brushes you can experiment with. I really love how simple it is.
I also caught up with my co-founder Wenting, who recently joined me on the indie founder journey. She is writing about her first 30 days as a full-time indie hacker publically in her newsletter. Though she had started many different side projects in the past, starting a newsletter is a new frontier. During our meeting, we talked about her lessons and learnings, which you can also read here. Her learnings really resonated with me as a newsletter creator.
Lastly, a little good news: Our newsletter got featured in this Product Hunt tweet. This definitely made my day. : )
Now, let’s dig into our post this week!
