IdeaBoard95
A community idea board that looks like Windows 95
Hey Indie Hackers-thanks for stopping by.
I'm an indie developer. I recently quit my job to focus on building and shipping my own projects, and IdeaBoard95 is one of the first things I'm putting out there from that new chapter. It's a public idea board: post product ideas, upvote what you want to see more of, and filter by tags like App, Website, and AI.
Why I built it
- My ideas lived everywhere-notes, chats, random docs-and I kept losing track
- I wanted one small place where inspiration sits in the open and people can show what actually matters
- Without turning it into another tool I dread opening
The Windows 95 look is intentional for me: nostalgia on the surface, but I cared just as much about readable layout, fast scanning, and flows that work on desktop and phone. You sign in when you want to post or manage your own ideas (Firebase under the hood).
I'm shipping in public now, so honest feedback really helps. What would you use a board like this for? What would make you come back? If something breaks or feels off, say so-I'll fix what I can.

Hey man, I love what you're building and the fact that you're shipping a community focused idea. I am building BrewChat, a platform around connecting individuals with one another over short, direct video chats, and we have over 550 users signed up after 1 month live. Feels like there is a much bigger opportunity here. Would you be open to a quick 15 min chat?
