Stumbled onto Indie Hackers today, saw the top milestone was from someone in the same space as me who just hit 100K users in the same timeframe as me.

Here I am with ~20 users.

Their product is far simpler than mine, and they likely don't have to go through a Google audit.

I get jealous when I see those things. What am I doing wrong? Seeing that makes me feel like I've done everything wrong.

This is why I don't like to go on Indie Hackers anymore, what's the point? It's just a distraction.

I don't gain much benefit from learning they are at 100K users. You could argue that you could learn something from them, which is somewhat true. After seeing it, I looked closer into their business and their marketing.

But you can also argue it's just a massive distraction and probably will leave you worse off.

Not only did it make me feel shitty, but it makes me rethink my business and second guess myself.

If you second guess yourself every day, then you will never make decisions forward or progress.

Learn by failing by yourself.
