Indie PRD Generator

What it is

Overbuilding and analysis paralysis kill momentum. The Indie10k PRD Generator turns a rough idea into a one‑page, shippable spec in minutes so you can move now.

It runs a first‑principles “thinking pass” (kept folded unless you open it), then streams a concise PRD you can actually build this week.

The output is opinionated and practical: Problem → User & Job → Success Metric (7 days) → Solution → Scope v1 → Risks → Next steps. No corporate fluff. No sprawling docs. Just momentum.

Why use it

• Ship faster: Cuts scope to a one‑week MVP by default.
• Stay focused: Forces one screen, one output, one metric.
• Shareable: Copy or export Markdown to align a collaborator.
• Repeatable: Same structure every time—no more “AI novel” PRDs.

Made by indie devs, for indie devs

We’re solo builders ourselves. This tool mirrors how we actually ship: server‑first, minimal infra, reversible steps, and tight feedback loops. It’s designed for makers who balance code, marketing, and life—and still want to launch weekly.

Under the hood we keep things safe and simple: fail‑open rate limits if unconfigured, optional bot protection, and template fallbacks when AI isn’t available.

What’s different from other PRD generators

First‑principles by default

Most tools pad PRDs with filler. We start by cutting—no auth, no DB, no dashboards in v1 unless essential.

One‑screen mentality

If it doesn’t fit on a single page, it won’t fit in a week. The template enforces scope.

Streaming output

Watch the PRD appear as it’s generated—the thinking stays tucked away unless you care to read it.

Indie constraints

Optimized for solo timeboxes and micro‑SaaS practicality, not enterprise committees.

Export & use your PRD

Copy your PRD to clipboard or export as Markdown. Use it to guide your development, share with teammates, or track progress during your one‑week experiment.

Pro tip: The PRD includes risk assessment and evidence collection guidelines to help you validate your idea as you build.
