Hi there,
Thanks for signing up for my founder newsletter. I've been using Opus 5.5 a lot this week and getting back into vibe coding little improvements here and there. I've tidied up my email signup form on my personal blog and I've been working on a few free tools.
Thanks to Gojiberry for sponsoring!

$14k MRR for recruiting tool
Congrats to Sanat for reaching $14k MRR with Hirevire, a video tool for companies doing recruitment. It's smart to sell to companies and make something not particularly cool because other indie hackers won't want to build it.

Fix the hole in your bucket
A great post here on fixing your funnel as a business owner. I like the idea of tackling and fixing one area completely before going on to the next thing.

Claude reverses startup credits
Yeah, unfortunately Claude has now cancelled its startup credit programme.
Sounds weird but seems like they underestimated how many people would sign up for free stuff.

Effort as an advantage
A great post here from the CMO of Ahrefs. Putting effort into something is the only edge now.
I've never really understood the whole 'use AI for all your marketing' thing because anyone can do that. You don't have any advantage.

LinkedIn cut-off calculator
I made a free tool for calculating how much of your LinkedIn post gets seen and how much is cut off. Hope it helps you get your posts seen by more people.
Let me know what you think. https://www.petecodes.io/linkedin-post-cut-off-calculator/
