In this episode, we have a conversation with Conner Pope, the founder of DailyDeals, AdTrace, and Liftz. Conner talks about his journey from being an employee at Adobe and Zoom to becoming an indie hacker. We learn about how he started his indie hacker journey and why he decided to work on DailyDeals as his first project. He also shares how he came up with the idea for AdTrace. Conner shares insights into how he determines whether a Saas project is successful or not, and when to stop working on a project. He also talks about his plans for creating a greater company around his projects and his decision to leave the Shopify space for something entirely new with Liftz. We also discuss Conner's open approach to communication with the community, how he takes their feedback into account for his products, and the benefits of this approach. Finally, Conner gives advice to those starting their indie hacker careers and shares what excites him about his space and technology in general right now. --- Show notes: Conner's Twitter: https://twitter.com/digitalconner AdTrace.ai: https://www.adtrace.ai/ Liftzs.ai: https://www.liftz.ai/ GalacticApps: https://galacticapps.com/ You can find this podcast on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.codeandconquer.fm⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 👀 We love to hear feedback about our podcast and you'll also find blog posts about all of our episodes and the biggest learnings there.

Hosted by Tobias Arweiler, an indie hacker who founded Ice Bear Labs, Code and Conquer-The Indie Hacker Podcast pulls up a chair for candid conversations with founders who build businesses on their own terms. This isn't about Silicon Valley glamour; it's about the real, often messy work of creating something from nothing. Each episode is a deep, one-on-one dialogue that moves beyond theory to focus on the tangible experiences, hard-won wisdom, and actionable insights of a different entrepreneur. You'll hear the specifics-the early days of grinding at $0 monthly recurring revenue, the unexpected hurdles, and the strategic decisions that led to breakthroughs. Tobias guides these discussions with a genuine curiosity, making space for stories that are as much about resilience and personal growth as they are about revenue graphs. For anyone curious about the solitary yet vibrant indie hacker path, this podcast offers a rare blend of practical advice and human perspective, documenting the quiet victories and lessons learned while building a company line by line.
