I’m tired of building in silence. That’s why I started building Droon.

very good indeed, it's the same difficulty I have and what I thought about starting to develop too, I was looking for a real community where I can talk and interact with people to test my product

Feel that everyday bro, running company, paying 4 developers, I was ready for this, but hard as it should be even more.. but I'm privileged not giving up, my platform is reconized locally by museums, festivals, providers and tourists, but yet I need in team co founder/s to fight beside me. In that regards I'm meeting next week some rock star developer from Berlin, he told me he will involved and he will help finding other developers, if we do so, right team right product, we solv couple of problems, success is already predictable.

You’ve hit the nail on the head. This pain is experienced by all builders. Building distribution is challenging and if this effectively helps with that then you’ve found the right PMF.

Solid move calling out the real pain—early-stage founders do get lost in the noise and ghosted in communities. Droon sounds like a much-needed antidote to the empty hype and spam fest most platforms have become.

I’m intrigued by the searchable public journey and smart user insight layer. That’s the kind of thoughtful design that can actually add strategic value instead of just noise.

Key will be execution—making sure it stays authentic and doesn’t become just another dead channel. If you nail that, this could be a game-changer for founders who feel isolated in the grind.

Count me interested. Keep it real, keep it useful.

I hope you will continue to move forward with the forum you created as your wings.

Building in public is a great way to stay motivated! I'm curious to learn more about Droon. What's the problem you're solving with it?

Man I feel this deep.
I’ve launched multiple ecommerce stores before, scaled one of them to $30K/month, helped another brand go from zero to over $1M ARR. But recently it’s been so much harder to start something again.
Not because I’m afraid — but because I’ve tried so many things already, burned through savings, and this time I’m low on capital, doing everything alone, and don’t have a co-founder or even a real partner to build with.
It’s exhausting.
Seeing your post reminded me I’m not the only one. Thank you for sharing this.

This would be soo helpful👍

How will you prevent exactly the same issues that you mentioned in your post? I can imagine that this will turn into a "spam my promo and close the tab again" project if not done carefully. But maybe I'm also just a bit burned by the subreddits that all wanted to become this and got overrun with "hey please try my saas" posts :D

I love it

Hey there,

Just saw your post about Droon — it really resonated. Love the idea and the way you're framing the problem.

I'm with Radiance — we help early-stage SaaS teams with UX, product clarity, and flexible design support. If you ever need a hand making Droon as intuitive as it is meaningful, happy to chat.

Either way, signed up and cheering for the launch 🙌

Cool idea - I think the feedback/features request loop is especially important. At least for me. @devris when will it launch?

Good approach. That's a real pain for founders or startups. I'm really looking forward to using it 😅

I don't know how you are going to avoid the noise generators from populating your platform. All social networks are designed around traffic maximization. The traffic is created by shitty post that trigger people to comment. Toxicity is rewarded. Hard work posts are boring, they don't create user engagement, so no traffic.

I see in indiehackers platform that same behavior with spammers flodding all the channels with hundreds of useless AI generated posts.

Internet doesn't care if you have been working for years in a project, only if you are toxic enough to drive traffic of their sites up.

Finally the tech-bro culture of the tech startups is extremely toxic where the founders believe to be a superior race and exploit everyone around them.

I don't think there is space for decent hard working people in this morally dead wasteland.

Are forums publicly accessible and hosted on a custom domain?

This is so true, all this "amazing ideas" on how to get first users. "{Just make a launch there" and you will get 1000 users in one day. So fake, almost all this platforms are garbage and find first customers is not so easy

I’ve felt the same — launched a few products, posted updates, asked for feedback… and silence.
It’s tough when you’re building solo and feel like you're shouting into the void.

Right now working on a small tool to help people find TikTok creators just by describing them (e.g. “mom who makes fitness videos” → real profiles). Still MVP, but building in public — and totally relate to the need for a space like Droon.

I resonate with this so much looking forward to see your progress :)

Isn't this same as Product Hunt, Indie Hackers and other communities on Discord etc.

What's the difference with Indie hackers?

Looking forward to seeing what it looks like. Building alone is definitely... lonely 🥲
