Weekly startup ideas, early-stage product features, and builder-friendly tools - all shared in public as we grow. Idea TBD is a casual, community-first newsletter for people who love building from zero.
Your next product idea might be hiding in this newsletter.
We built Idea TBD because we didn’t just want to write another newsletter - we wanted to build a collaborative community for people who love creating from scratch.
This isn’t a one-way broadcast.
Every issue features ideas from the community, early-stage products built by real folks, and tools/templates that we’ve all found useful.
We’re learning out loud, shipping in public, and helping each other figure things out - together.
If you’re building something (or thinking about it), we’d love to feature you.
If you’re just curious and want to follow along, that’s cool too.
Let’s build cool stuff, support each other, and maybe turn some TBDs into something real 💡🚀
It s a 100% free, minimalist writing tool that uses AI to:
Find the best sources
Fact-check
Spell-check
but puts the onus on you to actually write.
As someone who enjoys writing, I love using it myself and I think anyone who wants to keep their own voice, research well, or jot down ideas will benefit from it without having to rely on AI to do the thinking.
After reading that MIT study on how using AI to write can reduce memory and critical thinking, we at IdeaTBD knew we wanted to build something fast - a tool that helps you write, not write for you.
So we gave ourselves 48 hours to ship an MVP. Here's what made the cut and what didn t.
What We Shipped
A simple, clean writing editor
Real-time fact-check and spell-check
A research side panel that pulls from trusted sources
We ve been building Idea TBD in public - a weekly drop where we share raw product ideas, highlight early-stage tools, and experiment with building a community around curiosity and creativity.
