Indie Hackers Build-in-Public Post Example

Rewrite a vague launch note into an Indie Hackers post with learning and context.

Original AI draft

I launched a new tool today. It helps founders write better posts. Please try it and share it with your friends.

What feels off

  • - The post does not share what was learned while building.
  • - It jumps to promotion before giving useful context.
  • - Indie Hackers posts usually work better with real numbers, tradeoffs, or lessons.

Community-friendly rewrite

I spent the last week building a tiny tool around a problem I kept seeing: AI launch posts often sound too polished for founder communities. The first version only does one thing: it rewrites a draft into a more natural community post and explains the risks it removed. I am still figuring out pricing and whether people care more about Reddit or Product Hunt support first.
