Short, bite-sized conversations with indie hackers that have started small, profitable and bootstrapped businesses. You'll learn how they come up with ideas, what they do to validate, find those first customers and make a sustainable income.
Making a full-time income working just one day per week - Ramy Khuffash, Page Flows
Ramy Khuffash is the founder of Page Flows, a library of inspiration videos for product designers. Ramy started Page Flows after building a UI newsletter to thousands of subscribers, trying to improve his own skills as a developer who cares about design.

- Is the full-time indie hacker dream all it's made out to be
- Why Ramy tried six startups in six months, was it a success?
- Do founders work on things for too long?
- Ramy's journey working for a VC backed startup
- How it compares to bootstrapping
- What is Page Flows?
- How does it earn money?
- The trend of content / directory businesses
