Decided to turn my side project into a real product — building PostFuel

Hey Indie Hackers,

I recently finished a side project during downtime at work — it started as a small AI news generator for fun. After a lot of tinkering, I realized it could be more useful as a real product.

Now I'm officially building PostFuel:

An API-first tool to fetch news, scrape linked articles, and generate AI-enhanced content drafts — designed to help websites stay active and SEO-friendly without heavy manual writing.

Right now, the MVP is live with:

• API authentication (token-based)

• News fetching + scraping

• AI content generation (via OpenAI)

• Free tier for early testers

I'm working on polishing it, gathering feedback, and figuring out where it can be most useful (marketing sites, newsletters, SEO blogs, etc.).

Would love early thoughts:

• Does this solve a real need you’ve faced?

• If you run a website, how do you keep fresh content flowing today?

• Any early reactions on PostFuel’s idea or execution?

Happy to share more details if anyone's curious! 🚀
