👤 Samy Dindane & Yannick Veys (Samy, a dev deep in the build-in-public crowd, shipped the MVP in 3 days; Yannick, found on Indie Hackers, ran the growth.)🌐 site𝕏 Samy𝕏 Yannick
Samy asked X for a thread scheduler, got silence, built it in 3 days — now a 7-figure bootstrapped SaaS vs Buffer.
Will it work? · our read
Niche beat scale. A tweet found the gap; 3 days shipped it; build-in-public sold it. But the whole product depends on X — native scheduling or an API change could kill it fast.

Founder-disclosed on Indie Hackers; exact current ARR not public. IH case study
Bootstrapped, no VC. The founders disclosed MRR milestones and "crossed 7 figures" — never an ARR figure.

Indie Hackers: co-founder AMA, $22K MRR, 1,000+ customers (Jul 2021)Indie Hackers: how Yannick and Samy scaled Hypefury to 7 figures (Jan 2024)Baremetrics: Hypefury growth story, $10K MRR, inch-wide-mile-deep (2020)Hypefury blog: surviving the 2023 X third-party-app banHypefury pricing: $29-199/mo tiers
Revenue is founder-disclosed but ambiguous. Hypefury shared MRR milestones on Indie Hackers: about $10K MRR by late 2020 (Baremetrics), $22K MRR with 1,000+ customers by July 2021 (co-founder AMA), and "crossed 7 figures" by January 2024 (IH case study) — which never specifies annual recurring revenue versus cumulative lifetime revenue. Independent tracking (Latka) puts ARR far lower (about $567K, 2024), and the disclosed MRR trajectory does not support a $1M run-rate. So we do NOT claim $1M+ ARR; we report the founders' own "7-figure revenue" and surface the conflict rather than hide it. Bootstrapped, no VC. The "inch wide, mile deep" framing is the founders' own; the platform-dependence and near-death-in-2023 reads are our interpretation, tagged [our read]. Competitor prices are approximate. We never score you.
