What I learned from Mocktopus: Your idea deserves to exist sooner than you think.

If you have an idea in your head that won’t leave you alone— build the dumb version of it. Just one page. See what happens.

If you’ve ever built something with AI tools, what surprised you the most?

AI tools don’t remove the work. They just move it earlier. You think harder, sooner. And that’s a good thing.

What if the best part of AI is that it helps bad ideas fail faster?

AI won’t build your startup. But it will absolutely lower the cost and pain of trying.

I don’t know if Mocktopus will “work”. But I know I’m glad I gave it a shot.

I used to think launching something meant everything had to be perfect. Now I think it means: it’s online and someone can click it.

Mocktopus is still cooking. But I’d rather share it messy than build it alone in silence.

I asked Windsurf to add a DB to mocktopus.app I barely understand. It didn’t work right away. And that’s when I remembered: AI doesn’t replace understanding. It just gets you closer to it faster.

I used Next.js and Tailwind CSS to build mocktopus.app. Windsurf didn’t use the latest React server/client setup. But that was OK. It was just fast. I could still guide it.

The idea behind Mocktopus is simple: Help indie hackers validate ideas before building. mocktopus.app

I didn’t ask Windsurf for a nice design. I got one anyway. Minimal. Professional. I shipped it as-is.

I tried Windsurf without expecting much. 30 minutes later I had a beautiful landing page!!!!

I didn’t want to build another big thing. Just wanted to test a small idea. One that wouldn’t take me down with it.

The hardest part about building solo isn’t the code. It’s deciding when to not build.

Building something new feels scary when your last project flopped. But sometimes, the failure gives you the clearest vision.

I once spent 4 months building a SaaS that I couldn' t even properly launch. After that, I decided to test my ideas before committing 100% to the product.
