Show IH: I built 6 AI-powered web apps while working full-time and writing 15 books

Hey IH! I'm Chad -- author of 15 books, former Director of Sales Enablement, and now a full-time indie builder.

Over the past two years (while still working my corporate job), I built and shipped 6 AI-powered web apps. All live, all free to start.

Here's the lineup:

1. ContentForge (contentforgehq.com) -- Paste any text and get platform-native posts for LinkedIn, X, email, Instagram, and more. Powered by Claude AI. This is the one I'm most focused on growing.

2. Palette Pro -- AI color palette generator for designers and developers.

3. Momentum -- Daily habit tracker to build consistency.

4. PawFormance -- Pet health and wellness tracker.

5. PillPal -- Smart medication reminder system.

6. HomeGrown -- AI garden planning assistant.

The stack: Claude AI + Replit for all of them. No custom backend infrastructure. Just AI + a hosted frontend.

What I learned:

• You don't need a team to ship. You need focus and AI leverage.
• Ship ugly, ship fast, iterate based on feedback.
• Building 6 apps taught me more about product than 10 years in corporate.
• The hardest part isn't building -- it's distribution.

I'm now going full-time on these and would love feedback from the IH community. What would you want to know about building a portfolio of AI micro-apps as a solo founder?

Happy to answer any questions about the stack, the process, or the economics.
