I keep building projects nobody wants. So this time I'm doing it backwards

3•thefern•1h ago
The problem: You have an idea, you build, buy domain, spend weeks, months, no one shows up.

The idea: A profile page where you list all your project ideas. People can signal interest, and you collect emails — before you build anything. With hatchd, you wouldn't need to spin up a validation page in vercel, or other hosting platform.

Think Linktree, but for your side projects. One link to share everywhere.

Why not just use Product Hunt? PH is for launched products. This is for ideas you haven't built yet. It's your personal page, not a marketplace where you compete in a feed. No reviews or pressure to be polished — just "I'd use this" signals.

Why not Gumroad or a landing page builder? Those are for selling. This is for validating what's worth building first. One page holds all your ideas together, not scattered across platforms.

I threw up a validation page to see if anyone else has this problem: https://hatchd-validation.vercel.app/ If this sounds useful, vote on it, join waitlist. If it's not, tell me why.

So validating your idea before building is better, but there is an even more "backwards" way:

You're still assuming people will be interested in one of your ideas. There is far from 100% chance of that.

To increase this chance closer to 100%: ask people what they are interested in. "Extract" the #1 problem shared by at least 10 people/businesses (that would be worth paying at least $50/month to fix). Then offer a solution to this problem.

> There are three types of problems: 1. hair-on-fire problem, 2. 2nd biggest problem, 3. everything else
