Simple and clean. The keyboard shortcuts make it so easy.

I use Pasta to manage my Clipboard and Proxyman whenever I am working with HTTP requests. Both serve a good purpose, improve productivity and solve a niche problem. Both made by Indie developers. After macOS Big Sur is out, I can add my tool for iOS developers, Swimbols, to the list.

Luck does play a role but you can't quantify it, because it is just random. But you have you have plan and work on improving the product before and after luck plays its role. Otherwise you will be shutting down soon.

Learning how to market your product.

When you are not sure of the price, see how much your competition is charging. If you think your product is good, price it higher than the competition and let people know why your product is better.

I use Clockify for time tracking. I use it only for tracking time spent on tasks that are either important or urgent. At the end of a week, if I have clocked more than 40 hours, I consider it a productive week.
