Andrea | Solo Tech Founder | Building In Public

I was preparing a presentation for a conference and my notes were everywhere. Notebook. Laptop. Phone. Random docs. Half-formed thoughts. So I dumped everything into one big Word document. Technically, it was all in one place. But my brain still couldn’t see it. I kept needing to draw what I was thinking. Arrows, clusters, mind maps, connections, little “wait, this belongs with that” moments. And I remember thinking: Why isn’t there a notes app that lets you think visually? Something with the freedom of a mind map, but the depth of actual notes. Kind of like Miro or Figma… but for thinking and writing, not design boards 😂 I looked for it. Couldn’t really find the thing I wanted. So I started building it. That became Nodex: a visual workspace where you can dump messy thoughts, connect them, and slowly turn them into something clearer. At first, I thought it was just how I think. Then I realized a lot of people work this way. People with ADHD. Neurodivergent people. Indie devs. Writers. Students. Creatives. Anyone whose brain doesn’t naturally move in a straight line. Not every thought starts as a clean document. Sometimes it starts as a mess. Nodex is for that part. Give your thoughts a map: nodexcanvas.com

@DreamyDesignerX Absolutely! I'm glad you're trying too.

@indieappstudio True. From your hobby, repeated tasks, or something you'd not imagine that could be really productive could be starting point of being a great product nowadays. I'm trying to achieve like that, too.

"Do I really need another productivity app?" Probably not another one telling you to be more organized. But maybe one that accepts the mess first. Not every idea starts as a task. Some start as half-thoughts, fragments, links, questions, and weird little clusters.

@moonfarm_dev I know! 🥳🥳

@indieappstudio That's a lot more than 0! 🙌

Awww look at the extension go 😂

Scattered thoughts create stress because your brain keeps trying to hold everything at once. Tasks, ideas, worries, reminders. Nothing feels finished, so everything stays mentally “open.” Getting thoughts out of your head is not just organization. It’s relief.

@vadym_petryshyn Thank you! Doing my very best here, I really want this app to be useful for other people.

@indieappstudio Building for your own needs is the ultimate filter for quality. Keep iterating through those bugs!

Day 6/30 of the challenge. (forgot to post yesterday). Still no paid users but lots of good feedback. The app is taking shape and bit by bit is turning into a really useful product. I used it yesterday for a while and there were a few bugs, so I fixed them and carried on using it. I'm still very interested in what you people have to say about it. I hope you all give it a go!

@matt__makes Thank you!!

@indieappstudio congrats on the release Andrea! 🎉

Yaaay 🥳🥳

Morning builders 👋 I’m building Post See — an AI-powered social media scheduling platform for creators, startups, and agencies. post-see.com Now looking for the first 100 users to get free early access. If you’re building something interesting, drop your project below too — would love to connect with more founders and discover cool ideas.

Managing ADHD often means turning scattered thoughts into visible, manageable next steps. Externalizing ideas, using structured time supports, and grounding the body can reduce overwhelm and make it easier to start, prioritize, and follow through. These tools do not erase executive dysfunction, but they can lower the friction between thinking and doing.

@makani20 It seems like I can't message you

@makani20 Sure! I think I'll message you so the comment doesn't get banned if I send a link.

@LaunchLlamaHQ Hi! 🙋🏻‍♀️ I’m building a visual workspace for people whose brain doesn’t think in straight lines. You can dump notes, connect ideas, and start making sense of the chaos. Free while it’s in beta.

Good morning devs. What are you building today?
