Who is Tony Dinh?
Tony Dinh is not your ordinary developer. Once working a regular nine-to-five tech job, he felt something missing: excitement, purpose, and that creative spark. So, Tony switched gears, diving headfirst into the world of indie hacking—the art of building, launching, and growing digital products solo.
The Indie Hacking Spirit
Indie hacking isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a philosophy. Imagine saying goodbye to big teams and investor demands and instead building cool projects from your bedroom (or favorite café). Tony embodies this spirit perfectly. Through his journey, he’s created successful digital products like “Black Magic” and “Xnapper,” all while sharing his wins, struggles, and lessons learned with the world.
What’s “Build In Public”?
Tony is a huge believer in transparency. He doesn’t just launch products—he documents every step along the way. From revenue stats to productivity slumps, Tony’s Twitter timeline is a treasure trove of openness. Why? Because sharing the real journey inspires others and builds authentic communities. In fact, Tony’s “Build in Public” approach helped turn followers into fans and customers.

My Indie Book: Stories, Struggles, and Success
“My Indie Book” is more than a memoir—it’s a handbook for every solo entrepreneur and dreamer. The book lays out Tony’s path from a burnt-out employee to an empowered indie maker. It’s filled with stories of risking it all, side projects that flopped (and some that soared!), and practical advice for anyone wanting to build something meaningful.

His story is a rallying cry for anyone dreaming of starting something on their own. So, if you’re sitting on an idea, wondering if you should take the plunge—Tony’s journey (and “My Indie Book”) is proof that the indie hacker path is worth exploring!
