Solo Indie Dev

Hey, I'm Marco. I'm a solo indie dev building small apps, AI tools and internet products from idea to launch.

I like simple interfaces, fast shipping and products that feel useful before they feel polished. Most of my work starts as a tiny experiment and ends up on the App Store.

Timeline

I did not start with a perfect plan. I kept trying things, failing, learning distribution the hard way and slowly moving closer to the kind of indie products I want to build today.

2025 - now

Mobile AppsatiOSIndie Dev

Started shipping mobile apps and landed a viral hit with Bagio, my packing app. That gave me a huge push. Since then I have been learning the hard parts: onboarding, paywalls, tracking, ads, UGC, App Store growth and retention.

2024

Vibe CodingatVCStartup Attempt

Spent about a year trying to build a startup through vibe coding. It failed because the technical problem was not really solvable, but it was the first time people were willing to pay.

2022

Suitcase StartupatSUHardware Idea

Tried to build an innovative suitcase brand. The concept was strong, but the actual innovations were far too expensive to produce. I did not know that yet and learned it the hard way.

2020

Clothing BrandatCBOwn Store

Started a clothing brand, built the website myself and tried to grow it through social media. It was my first proper attempt at mixing product, brand and distribution.

2017 - 2019

Local ProjectsatLPFreelance

Kept building smaller local projects. Nothing huge, but enough real-world work to understand clients, constraints and the difference between an idea and a shipped thing.

2016

First WebsitesatWPLocal Businesses

Started by trying to sell WordPress websites to local businesses. A lot of cold outreach, rough pitches and learning how the web worked by doing.
