Hey everyone

I m Rui, an indie iOS developer.

For years I kept discovering great movies, music, books, apps, and games and losing track of them days later. Watchlists helped, but everything was fragmented across different apps.

So I built iCulture. A single place to save everything I discover culturally, with a premium, minimalist focus.

We re all builders here, which usually means at some point we looked at something clunky, slow, or frustrating and thought, there has to be a better way. Most products don t start with a grand vision; they start with irritation, curiosity, or firsthand pain.

I d love to learn more about how others here have navigated that journey:

How did you uncover the problem you decided to work on?
What signals told you this problem was worth solving?
How did you validate (if at all) whether people would actually pay for a solution?
Has your product stayed true to the original problem, or did it evolve into something different?
What surprised you the most along the way?

Hi everyone!

I'm Kris, a frontend engineer who cares deeply about UX design. This is my first experience as an indie maker, currently building Monit247, an uptime monitoring tool, and investing a lot of time developing new ideas to solve problems.

Excited to learn from the community and exchange feedback along the way.

Hi! I'm building my first solo project. I'm not a dev, but surfing the big wave of vibe coding last year I built MasterPlan AI: an all-in-one tool for paid media professionals using AI builders without spending a single penny on them.

It s now in the final stages and I m preparing to launch on Product Hunt.

If you run paid campaigns and want to try it early, please join the waitlist on the landing page or contact me for a beta tester seat your feedback would help me a lot.
