Business Idea: A curated, minimalistic platform showcasing a small selection of indie maker tools, designed to give new creators visibility and foster a supportive community for innovative products.
Problem: Many indie makers struggle to gain visibility in crowded marketplaces and social feeds, making it hard for their tools and products to reach the right audience.
Solution: A simple, focused website that features a limited number of products (e.g., 10 at a time), providing a fair chance for each product to be seen without overwhelming users or drowning out new entrants.
Target Audience: Indie makers, solo creators, startups, and small development teams seeking visibility for their tools and products without relying on advertising or complex platforms.
Monetization: The platform could generate revenue through small submission fees, featured listings, or featured placement options, while maintaining a free viewing experience for users.
Unique Selling Proposition (USP): Unlike larger marketplaces, it offers a clean, uncluttered environment emphasizing quality and care over quantity, giving everyone an equal shot at attention.
Launch Strategy: Start with a simple, manually curated site showcasing recent or highlighted products, engage with community feedback, and grow organically through building in public, personal engagement, and word-of-mouth.
