I've built things nobody wanted. It's the worst feeling in indie hacking.
Not a failed launch — worse than that. Building for weeks, shipping, and realising the demand was never there.
The obvious fix is keyword research. But every tool I tried assumed I already had a strategy. Ahrefs is powerful but built for marketers, not designers figuring out what to build next.
I'm a designer learning to ship with AI. I don't want to become an SEO expert. I want to know: is there demand for this idea, and can I realistically rank for it given what I build?
So I made Minepath — a keyword research tool for indie builders.
You share your role and what you make. It generates personalised keyword ideas with volume, competition scores, and trend signals — so you can spot opportunities that match your actual skill set, not someone else's.
Shipped it with AI tools. A bit embarrassed by the rough edges. But it's solving my own problem and I figured someone else here probably has the same one.
