3 patterns I noticed reviewing 18 indie launches (Episodes 1 & 2)

I've now reviewed 18 indie tools across two Aura++ video episodes.

Patterns across the strongest launches:

1. One painful workflow, end-to-end — Seekdown (content → chatbot), PromptMan (prompt → paste in 5s). Not "AI-powered X."

2. Show the output, not the dashboard — AIWriteBook shows the finished book. CreateVision shows the generated video. Proof beats features.

3. Niche positioning wins — Revshare (affiliate attribution), WisGate (cheap LLM routing), Human Write (humanize without losing meaning). Specific beats broad.
