Indie Builder Alex Nguyen Ends One-on-One Mentoring After Coffee Chat Copycat
Last updated Sep 30, 2026
Nguyen, creator of popular AI tool Notewave.app, opened up about marketing tactics and content formats during the personal meeting, only to see them mirrored soon after. He still shares publicly across dozens of channels pulling 100K–500K daily U.S. views but now skips private one-on-one sessions to protect his strategies. The story resonates in the indie hacker world, where building in public fuels growth but copycats are testing trust, prompting talks of clearer boundaries between broad transparency and personal advice.
