Stripe Acquires Lemon Squeezy🚀

Hey 👋

You’re reading the weekly wrap-up Sunday newsletter of what’s going on in the Indie-Hacking community on X.

This is our 7th edition of TwindiePoint.

So, last Monday started with marketing. Every Monday, Jaisal runs a tweet asking what people are working on. Such tweets make it easy for solo founders to share their work publicly and get discovered by other founders. 🚀💬

Rodrigo Rocco just hacked the entire system on how to increase the DR of your website. He shared valuable websites where you can list your site or ask for backlinks to boost your domain authority. 🌐🔗

This guy started a side project called Summify and sold it for $30,000 on Acquire.com. 🤑 Just amazing stuff! He shared his journey, saying he always wanted to be a solopreneur and only knew how to code. Now, he’s at a stage where he’s exited his first startup for five figures. 🚀💻

One of the biggest news of last week: Mercury announced that they are closing bank accounts for many users in various countries. 🌎 One person affected is Ilya, the founder of Microns, who is based in Ukraine. He is really frustrated with this decision, and it's not just about him; several companies and founders' businesses are impacted by Mercury's decision. 😡 Out of frustration, Ilya did some research and shared the top 5 alternatives to the Mercury platform: Brex, Wise, Revolut, Payoneer, Relay, and one more, Airwallex. 💡💼

Aadit Sheth shared great advice for CEOs on how to use AI in business efficiently. 🤖 He explained how AI can enhance the core business model, not just operations. 💼✨

Ayush shared his SaaS analytics stack: Mixpanel, Plausible, ChartMogul, Google Search Console, Ahrefs, Google Sheets, and Notion for his work. 📊💻

Romain De Wolff shared his amazing advice for entrepreneurs. 💡 From his experience with a successful entrepreneur, he learned to do one thing every day that you don't want to do. Make that phone call you’re avoiding, write that marketing email you’re dreading, record the product demo video you’ve been postponing for weeks, and participate in events to network with peers in your segment. 📞✉️🎥 Every single day, these little steps compound over time. The compound effect is the most powerful thing in the world. 💪🌍

Pieter Levels (multimillionaire developer) finally met his hero, Patrick Collison (founder of Stripe). 🐶🏡 He shared everything about Patrick: cute dogs, his house, and how chill and curious he is. They talked a lot about digital nomading and indie hacking. 📚💻 Pieter mentioned how Patrick reads a lot of books and shared Stripe's journey, explaining how Stripe makes it easy for businesses to accept payments. They are really good friends, and it's such a humble story. I loved it! Most successful people are down to earth and chill. 🌍✨

This guy sold his first startup of the year, and he shared everything about it: from the idea to shipping, growing to getting customers, and finally selling. 🚀📈💼

One of the biggest news this week: Stripe acquires Lemon Squeezy! 🚀💼 The Lemon Squeezy team is thrilled. They shared their journey, starting three years ago to make selling digital products easy. Over the years, their community has grown exponentially. 🌱💻 Now, they are working on the best way to combine Lemon Squeezy and Stripe to provide fantastic products to customers. You can read their full story. 📖✨

See you again next Sunday!
