Build or Skip
A product research and market validation tool for indie hackers, builders, and SaaS teams — score ideas by estimated monthly orders, growth, and repeat-purchase signals to decide whether to build, watch, or skip before writing code.
Introduction
Build or Skip is a product research and market validation tool designed for indie developers, builders, and SaaS teams. It helps you decide—before writing a single line of code—whether a product idea is worth building, worth watching, or best skipped entirely, so you never waste time and resources on ideas without real market potential.
Key Features
- Estimate monthly orders to gauge the commercial potential of any idea
- Track growth signals to see whether demand is rising or fading
- Analyze repeat purchase signals to validate sustained willingness to pay
- Get a clear verdict for every idea: Build, Watch, or Skip
Why It Stands Out
- Validation before development: make the go/no-go call before investing engineering time
- Data-driven decisions: rely on real signals like orders, growth, and retention instead of gut feeling
- Save time and money: filter out weak ideas fast and focus on projects with genuine potential
- Built for builders: a simple, focused workflow that requires no prior market research expertise
Who It's For
- Indie developers searching for their next project direction
- Builders and hackathon participants who ship fast
- SaaS teams and product managers validating new ideas
