Hey there!
Welcome to my personal blog, and glad to know somehow you come here. So, first, let me tell you that, this blog is written by me & not any AI tool. So, Its human to human sharing. We're in super fast going world, nobody has time for outsider, Because we're into fast moving AI world. Somehow, its reminding me of "Genesis" from Terminator series, It was my favourite movie series & I watched it on repeated more than 100 times.
I'm into strange situation, I'm 26 year old, and I'm IT company employee doing 9-5 like most of people start their career. I have no magic skill or no extra talent. I have certain characteristics like finding always best thing, in anything, best movies to watch, best books to read, best places to travel, best home things to use. I always look for the best, and so that, by default my research skills is really good. I'm good at pattern recognition, I don't like to do repetitive boring work, I have diverse area of interest, I want to do everything.
But, now, let's go back to in 2020, corona hit, come to 2021, chatGPT comes, then GitHub copilot comes, and then, cursor and then perplexity and now claude code , and codex and then Openclaw, meanwhile we all gone through MCP and all those thing.
Like everyone, who are active on X, I seen people building on Build In Public community. I'm still figuring out, because, its hard to make your first dollar with your product, to be honest, freelancing is much easier, you cold dm/email someone, show your work and get work, Its easy. But building your product, teach you more than anything, Now a day building any product is someone anyone can do it, now, product like, lovable, laracopilot, Claude code, Cursor , made things easy, you can ship production ready app in less than 48 hours with payment ready.
Still, why people are failing and why I'd failed or give up on midway before seeing real results, I built almost 4-5 indie products as a Indie-hacker. I love build in public and engaging with community, I real love talking to people from different countries. That's the journey you'll enjoy, those secret group you make on journey. Those call you make with people, those personal DM conversation. Those growth hacking tips, those product validation ask.
But, its journey to you enjoy and when you see real results, I can't explain how you feels actually.
So, now, let's come to what I'm building & why I'm building, what I shipped till now.
My first product was promptnoon, its vibe coded platform through lovable and cursor. I keep finding top-notch prompts and i keep loosing prompts, that's why finally, i decided to build a platform where I can save my any prompts, which either I create or find, I don't need to save in my notes, WhatsApp dm or in notion, or in google doc. & finally I launched my first free platform back in august 2025, with no payment integration, free to use, no plan to monetize, I done marketing while building in public on X & on sharing in subreddit in comment and via post, I crossed almost 100+ users, but there's no thinking to monetize it. Then, in between, as trend changes, I come to next business idea.
By the time 3-4 month passes, I was working in product related to digital identity verification and then I got idea of building Privacy-First Consent Management for India as there's gap in Indian market. There's no provider from India. so, i started building it, launched Accordkit in November. But I know it was long term game, I started doing marketing on linkedin & X, for almost 2 month, started doing cold-dm, but seen no results. So, I left it dormant for now.
Then in November, I got inspired from laramap and launched Indiemap for Indie-hackers & solo-founders. It was one map to gather all indie-hackers to connect with same builder same city from worldwide. Currently, I have 70+ indie-hackers there. I done build in public marketing for almost 2 months, then I took break due to family function and due to wedding season. I integrated payment gateway to monetize it with popular polar.sh for indie builders.
But then, now see any solid way to monetize it, now, its ideal as of now.
Now, finally after wedding season over here in India. I get back to building, I launched Nextjs Development Agency - Aizecs. I started working on SEO & totally relying on in-bound leads. Meanwhile, I launched my personal brand website - avinashvagh where I offer end to end product marketing & GTM strategy & execution in feb, 2026. Working on SEO and cold dm strategy relies on outbound and inbound for productize services.
Now, finally In March, I launched light weight alternative of product hunt which is NoonLaunch. A platform to launch startup product and get do-follow backlink and get traction for early products.
That's my journey in short, let's see way forward & how it goes.
If you like this raw writing and raw journey with no sugar coating words. Connect with me on X. Yet, I'm figuring out for product which make me real money apart from my 9-5.
So, let's go indie, Let's keep building.
Untill next time,
Avinash
