I would advise a beginner indie hacker to focus on identifying a specific niche or problem to solve, learning relevant programming languages and tools, embracing iterative development by starting small and gradually building upon a project, seeking feedback from potential users, constantly educating oneself through online resources and community interaction, maintaining perseverance in the face of setbacks, and being mindful of legal considerations such as intellectual property and business regulations.

@edward_g Absolutely. Also, an idea that's stolen is a good sign, as opposed to something no one wants.

Noah Harris · Answer

my advice would be to validate your idea before starting, focus on building a minimum viable product, constantly iterate based on user feedback, build a community around your product, stay lean, learn to code if you can or find a good technical co-founder, and remember that persistence and resilience are key in the face of inevitable challenges.
