we're 10 days into our first batch – would love feedback :)

can't log into https://amazon.com either after logging out; so many downstream issues

an alternate to exporting kindle ebooks: https://github.com/transitive-bullshit/kindle-ai-export

Not sure I want to trust an LLM with a bulk transcription task that I want to be 100% faithful.

thanks, nadis :)

love zoxide; been using it for a long while as a replacement for built-in `cd`

definitely; our main goal is to see how much we can accomplish in a month and do a mini social demo day at the end. more info in our faq https://www.hackerresidencygroup.com/faq

really excited to see what hf0's container concept is like in a completely different country :)

i really like the saying "talent is uniformly distributed; opportunity is not"

this is def an experiment and our first time doing anything like this in SE asia, but i'm personally really excited to see who this attracts, and i just hope it ends up as a semi-organized non-shitshow ;)

Hey HN,

I've partnered w/ indie hacking legends Tony Dinh and Minh-Phuc Tran to host a new type of month-long Hacker Residency at a dope villa in Da Nang, Vietnam, this November, 2025.

*This is an experiment*

We're looking for 10 experienced devs who want to lock in with us for a month to take their startup / indie game to the next level!

We're also looking for some select sponsors who align w/ our mission to help us cover our costs (program is free for residents unless you've taken venture funding, and includes housing, cleaning, catering, laundry, etc for the month).

Would love to hear your thoughts!

We're inviting 10 hackers to come live & build with us at a dope villa in Da Nang, Vietnam for a whole month this November, 2025.

We're offering this for FREE (taking no equity or rev share or costs) as an experiment because we're all passionate about the indie hacker lifestyle and want to shine an aspirational spotlight on it. I went through HF0 in SF, and the vibes are heavily inspired by that experience.

Applications open now && lemme know if you have any questions.
