Sprout: Side Hustle Planner: Plan & grow your side hustle

Hey Product Hunt! 👋

I'm the indie developer behind Sprout.

A little background on why I built this.

I was recently laid off from my job, and it made me rethink a lot of things, especially financial independence and having more than one source of income.

I've always been interested in side hustles and entrepreneurship. I love discovering small businesses, exploring business models, and seeing how ordinary people turn simple ideas into something profitable.

But I kept noticing the same problem: finding ideas is easy. Knowing how to actually start is much harder.

There's so much information online, but it's scattered everywhere. You can spend hours researching an idea without ever taking the first step.

So I decided to build Sprout 🌱

With Sprout, you can:

Discover side hustle ideas.
Explore real businesses and see how they work.
Understand where and how to sell.
Turn an idea into a step-by-step roadmap.
Break your goals into smaller daily actions.
Get help when you're unsure what to do next.

I'm building this because I want to make starting something of your own feel less overwhelming.

I'm still early in this journey, and I don't have everything figured out. That's also why I'm here.

I'd especially love feedback on:

What would make Sprout genuinely useful to someone starting their first side hustle?
What information do you wish you had before starting your own business?
What's missing from the current experience?

Thanks for checking out something I've put a lot of work into. I'm excited to hear what you think! 🌱
