Solo founder building free wellness tools - launching IdeaFuel next week

Hey Product Hunt!

I run NicheHubPro, a free mental wellness and productivity blog with 71 research-backed articles. No paywalls, no subscriptions, just useful content for people dealing with stress, anxiety, and overthinking.

I also just built IdeaFuel, a free Android app that combines a Pomodoro focus timer with a habit streak tracker. Same idea: completely free, no account needed, no ads inside.

Launching it here next week. Would love to connect with people who care about productivity and mental health tools.

What Pain-Point are you Solving and How did you discover it?

We re all builders here, which usually means at some point we looked at something clunky, slow, or frustrating and thought, there has to be a better way. Most products don t start with a grand vision; they start with irritation, curiosity, or firsthand pain.

I d love to learn more about how others here have navigated that journey:

How did you uncover the problem you decided to work on?
What signals told you this problem was worth solving?
How did you validate (if at all) whether people would actually pay for a solution?
Has your product stayed true to the original problem, or did it evolve into something different?
What surprised you the most along the way?
