Idea Invalidator

The lovingly brutal gut-check before you burn six weekends.

Paste the idea, get a playful roast, save yourself a sprint.

Describe your cursed idea

Give us the gist — audience, problem, why you think it’s spicy.

Why an invalidator?

Indie devs fall in love with bad ideas all the time. This tool yanks you back to reality before you overbuild. It hunts for weak distribution, weak wallets, and weak positioning—all with a wink so you can laugh while you pivot.

How to use it

  • Describe the idea honestly—audience, promise, why it wins.
  • Get a short roast calling out the gnarliest reason it flops.
  • Walk away or fix the flaw before writing a line of code.

Perfect for

  • Weekend projects that feel suspiciously fun to build.
  • Second-product syndrome after landing a bit of MRR.
  • Founders who need a friend yelling “not that!” before they vanish into Figma.
