He took the idea of doing founder interviews to a whole new level.
His site, @IndieHackers, is well-built, beautifully designed, and tells founders' stories better than anyone else.
Now Indie Hackers is one of the most vibrant startup communities on the web.
Patrick is one of the best storytellers I've met.
And he's been sharing his story, and the lessons he learned along the way, from the time he created his first software company.
He doesn't always send a newsletter, but when he does, I read it right away.
Alli is a master of optimizing SaaS trials.
I really like this onboarding email teardown she did for Airtable:

Mojca can play a mean ukulele. She's a smart business person, but she's optimizing for a good life first (good coffee, sunshine, fast cars).
She's also really good at FB ads.
Marie's Instagram Stories are hilarious.
She's also a bad-ass Canadian, SaaS founder, and permaculturist.
Her and Ben are experts at creating online courses.
Garrett wrote one of the best books about starting a SaaS ever (Starting and Sustaining).
He's a no-nonsense, practical thinker, who knows about facing adversity (and coming out on the other side).
Adam is a machine. He doesn't back down from hard problems; he digs in. It's one reason why so many Laravel developers trust him: he helps them find answers to difficult questions.
He's also become a formidable businessperson, public speaker, and podcaster.
Mike has one of the most recognizable voices in bootstrapping.
He helped create the Startups for the Rest of Us podcast, which is what inspired me to want to become a solopreneur (and a podcaster!).
Also: his anecdotes on Facebook are really funny.
