Super Individual System Building Guide

Practical checklists for Technical, Business, and Influence systems

What is this page?

Helps indie developers build three core systems: Technical, Business, and Influence.

No abstract theories. Only practical actions. Each system has executable checklists and real case studies.

  • Enforce Code Standards - ESLint + Prettier, avoid silly mistakes
  • Write Tests for Core Features - Cover critical paths, reduce deployment anxiety
