After my last startup failed, I went back to the corporate world — and that failed too.
Not financially, but I couldn't deal with the damn politics.
So I stepped back and asked myself what I really wanted:
To build something on my own again. Just a simple product that solves a clear problem (and hopefully makes people smile).
That’s how Meme Studio started.
⸻
I’ve been creating memes, but every meme started with the same pain:
Finding a clean, high-quality version of that template.
Most are scattered across random corners of the internet. Blurry, watermarked, poorly cropped.
So I fixed that.
🔍 I collected 107 of the most iconic meme templates
🎨 Used AI tools to restore, upscale, or recreate them
👨💻 Wrapped everything in a fast, free meme generator
I built it solo: Frontend: Vanilla JS + Firebase in the front, Node.js + Firebase in the back.
It’s live now — I’d love your feedback, questions, or thoughts:

Have you ever revisited indie building after a failed startup? Or after leaving the 9-to-5 again?
