Maker Journal July 2026

July was challenging. I have been busy with this mega freelance project since last year, and one of the biggest milestones finally happened in July. For the event, I built the main site, mobile app, and event app. The biggest pressure was making sure everything could survive the full 3-

Maker Journal June 2026

June was busy. Mainly because of my freelance work. Two of the key milestones for the project were squeezed into these two months: launching the mobile app, and getting a few sub-sites ready for an important event in July. On top of building everything, I also need to make

Product Weekend May 2026 - WebHookHQ

This is the first Product Weekend where I didn’t really complete the MVP. At first, I struggled with what to build. I have way too many ideas as usual, but I eventually decided to revisit WebHookHQ, one of the very first products I worked on in my early indie-

Maker Journal May 2026

May is always a unique month for me because it’s my birthday month. May 2026 was even more unique. My wife was away for a week, which meant I had to handle all three kids by myself during my birthday month. On top of that, I needed to bring

Maker Journal April 2026

April feels like one of those months where I’m busy the whole time, but not exactly on the things I planned. I got swamped by freelance work, so product marketing basically didn’t happen. Not ideal, but at the same time, this is part of the game. Work comes

Product Weekend Apr 2026 - Landing Pages

I’m trying to keep the momentum going from March. Felt like I finally got back into a good rhythm building things, so naturally I want to continue… but also not rush into the wrong thing. I was stuck between rebuilding HookFeed or revamping ClipSend. Spent some time going back

Product Weekend

Product Weekend Mar 2026 - Statify

I decided to pivot and rebuild Statify during Product Weekend in March. The previous version I built last year didn’t really go anywhere. I was trying to do too much — GUI builder, backend engine, pulling external APIs… it felt heavy and not very practical. So this time I stripped

Maker Journal March 2026

March always feels like the real start of the year for me. After the whole Lunar New Year period, everything kind of resets. You stop drifting, start tidying things up, and mentally switch back into “let’s go again” mode. So I kick-started my product-building engine again. With

Product Weekend

Product Weekend Feb 2026 - Echo Series

The Feb Product Weekend is a little bit different from my usual ones. Normally I spend the weekend building my own ideas. But this round I decided to try something else — pick up a few ideas from my clients and build quick prototypes for them. Honestly, sometimes building based on

Product Weekend Jan 2026 - MD2Page

I’ve had this product idea in my mind for quite a while. With the growth of AI agents recently, Markdown content seems to be getting more popular again. It almost feels like Markdown is slowly becoming the common exchange format between AI agents. Because of that, the idea came

Maker Journal February 2026

So what happened in February? February always feels like a short month. Not just because it has fewer days, but because of the Lunar New Year. You spend weeks preparing for it, a few days celebrating, and then suddenly the month is almost gone. This year, I didn’t really

Maker Journal January 2026

January feels like a reset. I didn’t build much this month, and that was intentional. Instead of shipping, I slowed down and focused on learning—especially around AI. There’s a lot happening in this space, and I finally spent proper time getting my hands on Gemini and the

My Product Planning 2026

After a lot of back-and-forth (and some long conversations with ChatGPT), I finally sat down and made some hard decisions about the products I built in 2025 — and what I want to carry forward into 2026. Honestly, this feels more like clearing mental clutter than planning. But it’

My 2025

It’s already mid-January 2026, and this will be my last post about 2025. Looking back, I wouldn’t say 2025 was a blank year. The products I tried to build didn’t make a big impact, but I still learned something from every single one. The biggest lesson?

Product Weekend

Product Weekend 2025

I started Product Weekend in 2024 and kept it going through 2025. By the end of the year, I completed nine Product Weekends. Every single one was about building something. Not everything shipped. Some stayed as prototypes. Some lost momentum halfway. But honestly, I looked forward to each month’s

Maker Journal November & December 2025

Just a quick summary to close out my Maker Journal for the last two months of 2025. November and December went by faster than I expected. November was overwhelming with work, and December was supposed to be a recovery month. In the end, I didn’t manage to write anything

Maker Journal 2025

Maker Journal October 2025

October was packed — not because of Hacktoberfest, but my mega freelance project. It’s been burning up all my time and energy. Basically, no space left for product work. I did plan to market ClipSend this month, but honestly, I had zero energy. Whenever I managed to squeeze some free

Maker Journal September 2025

It’s already the end of October and I’m only writing my September post now. Honestly, that says a lot about how packed the past few weeks have been. I’ve been buried in my freelance project — almost every hour went into it — and my product work completely took

Maker Journal August 2025

August was supposed to be my marketing month, but honestly, it didn’t go as planned. I wanted to push ClipSend harder, but then Craft dropped their official Chrome extension out of nowhere. Since most of my target users are Craft folks, that move basically killed my original plan. I&

Maker Journal July 2025

Trying to recover after pushing too hard during the Bolt World’s Largest Hackathon. I thought I’d slow down a bit—maybe do something simple, like clean up RenderTogether. I still haven’t finished the “create image from uploaded image” feature. Or maybe work on some videos for my

Product Weekend July 2025

Honestly, after missing Product Weekend last month (I dragged it out until the last week and ended up with last-minute work I couldn’t skip), I told myself—don’t let that happen again. This time, I actually started Product Weekend early to avoid the same mess. What did

EchoMood

Built EchoMood during Bolt’s World's Largest Hackathon—first time messing with this type of vibe code tools to ship something fast. Originally, I tried to go all-in and build a mobile-native app, but I hit a weird error that only showed up on a real

Maker Journal June 2025

June was all about the Bolt World’s Largest Hackathon for me. I dove in headfirst, trying to catch up with the whole Vibe Coding trend. I’ll share a more detailed breakdown of the product I built during the hackathon soon, but here’s a quick update on how

Build Products

I'm Knight Dev

The idea behind this is quite simple. I've noticed that many indie hackers have their websites listing all the products they've built in the past and what they're currently working on. I've created this site for the same purpose: to inform others

Maker Journal May 2025

Hey there! I’ve been super busy this May, and I’m thrilled to share some of my accomplishments. I’ve been really focused on building RenderTogether, and I’m almost done with everything! I built a simple playground to show it off, created a landing page to explain it,
