Building Innovativ.es By Solving My Own Problem

Hey Indie Hackers,

I built innovativ.es because I was using indiepa.ge and really wished it had a private dashboard feature. So instead of waiting for someone else to build it, I just did it myself. 💡

What It Does

It’s a simple, clean way to track projects, ideas, and progress – privately. No public profiles, no pressure. Just you and your projects. And of course, like Indiepa.ge the possibility to publish your own page.

Tech Stack

• Built with Next.js (because I love speed & flexibility).

• Keeping it 100% free for now – I just want to see if people find it useful before thinking about monetization.

The Challenge

How do I make this bigger? Right now, it’s just something I built for myself, but I think others might find it valuable too. My focus now:

1. Getting early users & feedback.

2. Refining the UX to make it as intuitive as possible.

3. Figuring out if/how it could grow beyond a personal tool.

Would love to hear your thoughts! Have you ever built something just because you needed it yourself? How did you take it to the next level? 👇
