Real experiments. Real users. Documenting everything — what works, what flops, and what might go viral.
Each mini-app is a live experiment. Play it, share it, beat the odds.
Guess the number challenge. Only 2% solve it on the first try. Simple, addictive, and very shareable.
Test your internal clock and stop the invisible timer at the exact right moment. A precision game built for quick retries.
Deduce the secret passcode with customizable digits and attempts — a polished logic puzzle.
Still in the lab. New experiments every day — some will fail spectacularly.
Another fast, shareable mini app is already in the queue. Built to be simple, sticky, and fun to post.
IndieLab is a 30-day public challenge where one indie developer builds and launches 30 small web apps — one per day. Each app is a hypothesis: can a simple idea go viral on TikTok or Instagram?
The goal isn't perfection. It's speed, honesty, and learning. Every app gets shared as a short video. Every result — views, clicks, shares — gets documented openly in the blog.
This is a real-time indie experiment you can follow, try, and learn from. Some will fail. That's the point.
The same 4-step process, repeated 30 times.
Something fun, shareable, and buildable in a few hours. Simple always beats clever.
Code, design, deploy. The whole thing goes live the same day. Speed over polish.
A short video on TikTok and Instagram. This is where viral potential lives — or dies.
Views, visitors, shares — tracked and written up in the blog. Completely honestly.
Daily write-ups — what was built, what happened, what I learned.
