Dark mode is coming to Facet.ink soon.

That’s definitely not something you should add late in the process - not even with AI support. 😊

I've shipped a few updates to my side project, Popup.so. You can now chat about the pages in the showcase. 😊

Late ’24 and ’25 felt like a moment for bold design moves - Jaguar, Apple’s Liquid Glass, nothing Phone (3).

I’d love to see the same kind of fun, confident design progress again in ’26.

Did anything else stand out beyond those?

Playing with agent engineering + Swift right now.

CloudKit for sharing data between users (no backend, no infra) is growing on me.

Lock-in aside, feels like a great fit for small AI-native apps. 😊

Claude Code is absurdly good at building native macOS apps in Swift. No errors. No IDE. No Swift knowledge. Built multiple tools that speed up my daily work.

✨ New on Facet: Timelines

You can now embed Timelines directly into your writings on Facet.ink.

See what Claude brought to Facet today.

Nice! It really feels like everyone spent Christmas and New Year’s playing around with AI. 😊

Facet - Writing, without friction. Facet is a modern writing platform where you create, publish, and connect. No more file formats, no thinking about hosting — just focus on your words.

Today’s a good day to start writing — which also means we’ve updated our website at facet.ink 😊

#indiehacker #writing #buildinginpublic

Big progress on Facet.ink.

Your words belong to you! Not us!

As a special gift just before Christmas, authors can now download their texts written on Facet — chapter by chapter — as Markdown.

No platform lock-in. 🎁✍️ Go try it yourself! 😊🙏

Thanks, James! Good question — but definitely not something that’s a problem today, since we just started yesterday. 😊

At the moment, founders can only book one slot per month. Maybe a paywall could reduce this risk in the future.

What would you do?

Each one takes over for a short time to launch, test, or tell their story — before passing the torch.

Every pop-up adds momentum to the next.

A living showcase of what’s being built right now.

Feel free to add your product. I am super excited.

Dear #Indiehacker, this post is for you.

The web used to feel alive — full of moments. We’re bringing that energy back.

Popup.so is a virtual pop-up space: a single domain that rotates between founders.

#indiehackers, #buildinpublic

text-decoration-style: wavy; should be used more often.

It's coming soon. 🎉

Markdown export on Facet.ink: own your words, publish anywhere.

Would you use it?

Good. Maybe refine the contrast, font sizes, and alignment of the elements a bit.

Nailed it.

Just found this old, very playful draft of the Facet logo. I guess we made the right decision, but it's super interesting to see how iteration can lead to change.

Updated iOS a few days ago and have to admit: I like Liquid Glass. 😊

Facet.ink

And it looks great, too. For writers and readers:

👉 To everyone still exporting eBooks or long texts as PDFs:

Check out facet.ink and compare the difference.

Your readers will thank you and I will too. ✨❤️

That’s why we built facet.ink differently.

We don’t just optimize the writing experience for authors — we also give readers the best possible reading experience.

On any device. Without the hassle.

Why?

📥 200 MB downloads
🔎 Constant zooming & scrolling
📱 No reading comfort on mobile devices

A PDF is made for printing, not for reading.

Every time I search for “free ebook” on social media, I notice the same thing:

Endless eBooks offered as PDFs. 🤯

For longer texts, let’s be honest —that’s one of the worst choices for readers. 😊
