Hello friend,

I can’t even believe that 2025 is almost over.

It’s been an amazing year. My life changed completely, and I’m so grateful for being able to have such a productive and intense year.

This is my last newsletter for 2025. I’m willing to take some time off for family and friends, and enjoy the winter holidays.

2025 was an amazing journey. So many things happened. To point out just a few:

Content creation

This year I became a content creator.

I started writing newsletters, consistently posting online, recording YouTube videos, participating in many Twitter Spaces and started talking to a camera.

I reached one important milestone: passed the 1000 followers on X/Twitter 🎉

Speaking of YouTube videos, I started a journey and a challenge for myself: I started a weekly vlog where I share behind-the-scenes of what I do and my day-to-day life basically.

This is my first vlog from the series, I hope you enjoy it:

Startups

Also, I started the “12 startups in 12 months challenge”. Unfortunately I didn’t take this to the end, and didn’t really finish all the 12 apps. But I still had like 10.

I wrote a whole post about it here: razvanmuntian.com/blog/this-is-not-a-click-bait-i-quit

My current focus is on two of the apps: Tech Terms and Luna Finder.

Travel

My wife and I traveled a lot this year.

We were used to having 2-3 weeks of travel per year, but we had 2 weeks in Alicante in March, 2 weeks in Porto in June and 10 days in Greece.

I wrote a post about our trip in Porto. Check it out here: razvanmuntian.com/blog/lets-talk-about-porto

Meeting people from Tech Twitter

One of my biggest achievements, and most rewarding thing I got from this year is getting in touch with so many amazing people.

On Tech Twitter there’s a saying: “finding your tribe”. I found my tribe.

I’m afraid to mention names, because this newsletter will get way too long, and for sure I’ll miss some.

If you read this, you know how much I appreciate you.

My plans for 2026

We’ll travel to Thailand in February, 2026. We’ll be there for a month, and hope to meet other indie hackers and digital nomads. I’m so excited about the experience, and, of course, I’ll create as much content as I possibly can. (That’s why I started recording the vlogs, so that I’m getting ready for Thailand).

Already mentioned the two apps I’m working on. Of course, I’ll maybe create some other small tools, and mini-apps along the way to have some fun, but I’d like these two to be a priority.

As I was saying, YouTube is something I really wanted to do for quite some time. I’ll for sure create more videos, and see where this takes me.

In conclusion

Thank you for reading my post. I hope you were inspired!

Happy Holidays, and see you in 2026! 🤩
