Why I'm Building Ideatr
Ideatr exists to close the gap between ideas and execution. This blog documents the real, unfiltered journey of building Ideatr from zero to 100k MRR — including product decisions, growth experiments, mistakes, and lessons learned along the way. The goal isn’t hype or shortcuts, but momentum, clarity, and building something people genuinely rely on.
Why I Am Building Ideatr
Most people don’t fail because they lack ideas.
They fail because turning an idea into something real is slow, confusing, and lonely.
I’ve felt that friction over and over again.
Every time I had an idea, the same loop followed:
Sketch something in my head
Open a dozen tools
Get stuck deciding how to start
Lose momentum before anything real existed
The gap between “this could be cool” and “this exists” was just too wide.
Ideatr started as my attempt to close that gap.
The real problem I care about
Building today is paradoxical.
On one hand, tools have never been more powerful. On the other, actually shipping something meaningful still requires:
Context switching between too many products
Technical decisions you’re not ready to make
Marketing, copy, positioning, and distribution before you even know if the idea is good
For solo builders and small teams, this overhead kills speed and confidence.
What bothered me most wasn’t the lack of tools — it was the lack of momentum.
I wanted something that didn’t just help you build, but helped you keep going.
What Ideatr is (and isn’t)
Ideatr is not just another website builder.
It’s not a template library.
It’s not “AI magic” that promises overnight success.
Ideatr is designed to be a thinking + building companion.
You start with an idea — messy, half-formed, imperfect.
Ideatr helps you:
Clarify what you’re actually building
Turn that into a real product or site fast
Generate the words, structure, and logic needed to ship
Keep iterating instead of restarting from scratch
The goal is simple: reduce the distance between idea and execution as much as possible.
Why I’m documenting this publicly
I’m not writing this blog after the fact.
I’m writing it while things are uncertain.
Right now:
Ideatr is early
Revenue is zero
Distribution is the hardest problem
Every feature decision matters
And that’s exactly why I’m documenting the journey.
This blog will be a real-time record of:
What I build
What works
What doesn’t
How I think about product, growth, and mistakes
No launch threads. No fake metrics. No hindsight bias.
Just honest progress toward a very clear goal.
The goal: 100k MRR
100k MRR isn’t about flexing a number.
It’s a forcing function.
It forces clarity:
Who is this actually for?
What are they willing to pay for?
What must work for this to scale?
If Ideatr can reach 100k MRR, it means:
People genuinely rely on it
It creates repeatable value
It earns its place in someone’s workflow
That’s the bar I care about.
What comes next
This blog will cover:
Product decisions and tradeoffs
Feature launches and removals
Growth experiments (good and bad)
Distribution strategies
Lessons from users
Mistakes I won’t repeat
If you’re building something, thinking about building something, or just curious how products actually grow from zero — this journey is for you.
I’m building Ideatr because I believe ideas deserve momentum.
Now it’s time to earn it.
