Our failed startups also deserve the spotlight. Failed projects mostly holds the most valuable lessons.
Do not sweep your failures under the rug. Submit them at indiefails.vercel.app

99% of indie projects fail quietly. No launch thread, no post mortem. Just silence.
I'm collecting those stories so we can learn from them.

Submit yours.

All I asked from Claude Sonnet 4 is to create a dynamic route and just generate its JSX. Nothing more, nothing less.
Just look at a summary of all it did with my simple instruction.

The rate at which AI is growing, hmmm....amazing!!!
Seriously, you could sneeze into your keyboard and Copilot might turn into a React component

Most indie devs aren’t failing because of bad code.
They’re failing because no one knows they exist.
You’re not in the software business.
You’re in the attention business.

Everyone celebrates wins.
But what about the losses?
What about the projects that quietly died in a Notion doc?
Let’s talk about failure and why I built Indiefails, a public database of indie hacker failures.

So I built IndieFails: a public space to share failed indie projects.
Postmortems, lessons, honest reflections, no shame, just stories.
Think of it as a graveyard with purpose. Bring your broken dream. Leave with perspective.

"I am thrilled to announce..."
"I am happy to share..."
"I had the opportunity to..."

My own life keeps teaching me that I can never achieve anything without discipline. Lately I diverted from my main goal to try something else only to get bombarded with anxiety and acute depression. Coming back to my goal and I feel okay.
Discipline > Shiny object

Free AI: "Here’s your function. Maybe it runs."
Claude Sonnet 4 by @AnthropicAI: "I fixed your logic, added a feature you forgot, and optimized your thinking patterns."
Didn’t ask, but respect. 💀
Premium AI hits different.
Shoutout @github for the free superpowers for students

Being a student has its perks. I have access to all these premium AI models on vscode all for free. Made possible by Github student developer pack

We celebrate wins. But failures? We bury them.
I think it’s time we honor our indie hacking losses too.

I asked ChatGPT to describe me and here is what it came out with. It even offered to turn this into a hero section for my blog. AI keeps getting better and better. The future looks promising.
A thread.

You’re looking for leverage, not just effort.
In short: You’re an indie hacker with clarity, character, and code chops—building in public with eyes on long-term freedom.
