Side Project Form Selector

Five gate checks plus a form recommendation, a one-page brief and a pre-launch 4-channel checklist.

Who it is for

  • Indie developers who want a small tool to bring users to the main product
  • People with a clear main product and audience, unsure which form to build
  • Not for: pre-product idea validation (start with the cold-start matcher and diagnosis)

Inputs

  • Main product audience
  • User pain point
  • Usage scenario
  • Spread scenario
  • Dev time budget (3 days / 1 week / 2 weeks / 1 month)
  • Preferred forms (multi-select: mini-tool / directory / template / checklist / scorer / mini-game)
  • Five gate checkboxes (audience overlap / open-and-use / no manual needed / spread reason / conversion entry)

Sample output (Sample)

Five gates (sample): audience overlap ✓ / open-and-use ✓ / no manual needed ✓ / spread reason ✗ / conversion entry ✓
Form pick: online mini-tool (MVP ~7 days, matching your budget)

One-page brief (sample): audience & single problem / spread reason / conversion entry / success metric
Pre-launch 4 channels: Product Hunt / directories / relevant Reddit subs / Hacker News (Show HN)

Free quota

  • Free plan1 runs/month
  • ProUnlimited
  • One-time purchase5 runs/month

Quotas are per calendar month per account and reset on day one of the next month.

Limits

  • Failed gates come with a fix direction, but no guaranteed outcome
  • Dev timelines use public baselines per form; yours depends on your stack
  • Mini-games depend more on virality and convert weakest — the tool states that risk
