Ivan Terekhin (aka Vanka) - Invidious

Ivan Terekhin (aka Vanka)

Hey! I'm Ivan, a solo indie developer with 10+ published apps and 20K+ users. I build health, sobriety, and fitness apps as a one-man studio (Trifoil Trailblazer).

What you'll find here:
- Building apps from scratch: ideas, code, launches, real numbers
- Indie dev life: raw and unfiltered, no team, no investors
- Life on the move: mostly based in Tbilisi, previously Bangkok, but always building and moving

Currently at ~$1K/month. The goal? $20K/month so I can roam the world and goof around.
