🚫 Don't Build — an AI tool that talks you out of your bad ideas

You know those late-night "genius" startup ideas that feel world-changing at 2 AM but dumb by breakfast?

Yeah. I built a tool for that. 👉 https://indie10k.com/tools/dontbuild

You type your startup idea. It instantly roasts it — with brutal honesty and a touch of sarcasm. Example of making a verdict for itself:

“You’re building a tool for a problem that’s already solved by friends and self-doubt. Expect endless support calls, a lack of users, and a major time sink!”

💡 Why I built it

Because most idea validators out there are too polite.

They tell you “maybe you should survey 100 people,” or “run a waitlist.” But let’s be real — what we often need is not validation, it’s a reality check.

I wanted a quick, funny way to kill bad ideas early and move on to the ones that survive the punchline.

⚙️ How it works

Type your idea.

Hit “Validate.”

Get roasted by AI.

Laugh, cry, and maybe... build it anyway to prove it wrong.

🎯 The goal

It’s not anti-building. It’s pro-focus. Every indie hacker has a graveyard of half-built apps. Maybe this tool saves you from digging one more.

If you’ve ever said “I have too many ideas,” you probably need Don’t Build more than caffeine.
