Business Idea: A simple, vibe-based launch platform for indie tools, apps, and games that highlights quality projects without algorithms, feeds, or comments—just raw community judgment to shine deserving projects.
Problem: Indie developers often struggle to gain visibility and recognition without relying on heavily curated or algorithm-driven platforms that may feel impersonal or overwhelming.
Solution: An ultra-minimalist, daily-launch site where only 20 projects are featured each day. Users vote once per day, no likes or comments—just genuine, vibe-based judgment—giving talented indie projects a fair chance to stand out.
Target Audience: Indie developers, hobbyists, small teams building tools/apps/games, and early-stage entrepreneurs looking for honest visibility outside mainstream platforms.
Monetization: Possible revenue streams include sponsored placements, premium features for developers, or a small entry fee for project submission to sustain the platform.
Unique Selling Proposition (USP): Unlike Product Hunt or Hacker News, this platform emphasizes simplicity and community vibe over algorithms, fostering genuine appreciation without social clutter.
Launch Strategy: Start with a minimal website showcasing the daily project submission and voting system. Invite early indie developers for beta testing, gather feedback on vibe and usability, then iterate before promoting to wider communities.
