Word from the Creator
Built for Builders
(by a beginner)
Hey I'm Lewis ๐ and I've been following the indie dev scene for a while now. This December, I'm finally trying it myself. I'm starting by learning the reiterative cycle of ship โ feedback โ improve โ ship by building 25 tools in 25 days. Each tool is a chance to practice shipping fast, gathering real feedback, and iterating quickly. If you're also on the journey of building in public, let's learn together. So have a play around with the site, leave some feedback, and let's make something great this December!
