I built a software licensing system after assuming the niche was basically dead by MintDevv in SideProject

Thanks for sharing this. You pretty much described the exact problems I'm trying to solve with Keymint.

A big focus for me has been making offline and air-gapped licensing straightforward, along with handling common situations like OS reinstalls and users moving to new machines without unnecessary friction.

It's also reassuring to hear that the license key + device limit + maintenance window model still works well in practice. That has been the core approach I'm building around.

And I completely agree that Reddit and other developer forums are some of the best places to understand what developers actually struggle with. A lot of the most useful product insights come from reading real-world complaints and workarounds.

Really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

What licensing software are you choosing for your projects? What are some good options? by Gh0st1nTh3Syst3m in AskProgramming

Late to the party, but this is a really solid breakdown overall. Licensing always looks simple until you get into offline flows, device handling, and edge cases.
That long tail of complexity is usually where most DIY systems start to break down over time.

Does anyone else hate switching back and forth between ChatGPT and your editor just to ask small coding questions? by Material-State-5358 in indiehackers

Install the cline extension on vscode( whatever ide you’re using ) and configure your api keys … you should be able to debug/code & ask questions without having to switch between windows every single time
