What are Twitter post templates for indie hackers?
Twitter post templates for indie hackers are post formats for sharing what you build, with blanks for your own numbers and product. These come from real X posts that mention building in public, MRR, shipping, side projects or first customers, and each was seen by at least 5,000 people.
What should you post when building in public?
Milestones, numbers and honest misses. Post what you shipped this week, your revenue or user count if you're comfortable, how you got your first customers, and what didn't work. Specific numbers spread more than polished updates, because people can learn from them.
Posts that fit an indie hacker
| Post | What it shows | Example opening |
|---|---|---|
| Milestone | Progress | "Just hit $1k MRR. 14 months, solo." |
| Ship log | Momentum | "Shipped this week: 3 features, 1 bug I'm proud of." |
| Honest miss | You learn | "My launch got 4 signups. What I'd change:" |
