I'm 18, built Indie CMD in a few days while doing my BBA — here's why I built it and what makes it different
Hey Indie Hackers,
I'm Ronit, 18 years old, BBA student from Rajkot, India.
I built Indie CMD (indiecmd.me) solo in a few weeks.
Here's the honest story.
I kept starting side projects and quietly abandoning them.
No funeral. No decision. They'd just... stop.
Sit in my Notion. Haunt me every time I opened a new tab.
I was using 5 different tools for one project:
- Notion for notes
- Trello for tasks
- A random timer for focus
- Twitter to share progress
And still losing track of everything.
The worst part? There was no tool built specifically
for people who build alone. Everything was built for teams.
So I built one.

Indie CMD is a productivity + social platform
for solo devs, indie hackers, students, and founders.
One workspace. No context switching. No abandoned projects
silently rotting in your backlog.
The feature I'm most proud of: Ghost Hunter.
It automatically detects your inactive projects.
If a project goes quiet for 3, 7, or 14 days —
you get a wake-up email with one question:
"Kill it or Ship it."
No Notion board has ever done that to me.
No Linear ticket has ever forced that decision.

Other features:
→ Projects + Kanban
→ Validation Gates (think before you code)
→ Focus Engine with flow scoring
→ Burn Rate Tracker
→ Public build profiles
→ Social follow system for builders
→ Command palette (Ctrl+Shift+K)
→ Chrome extension + PWA
---
Currently free during early access.
Pro plan coming soon.
I'm not a team. I'm not funded.
I'm one person who got frustrated and built the tool I needed.
If you're a solo builder — this is for you.
Brutal feedback welcome. Tell me what's broken,
what's missing, what you'd actually use.
— Ronit
