Show HN: I built a $5 AI tool to stop me from overthinking startup ideas (satisfice.app)

1 points by schmommy ↗ HN
Hi HN — I built Satisfice.app because I’m a chronic overthinker and kept getting stuck in idea loops instead of shipping.

The problem: I’d get an idea, research it to death, tweak the concept endlessly, and lose momentum before building anything.

What Satisfice does: It helps you pressure-test an idea quickly so you can decide whether to: - ship now - simplify - pivot - or stop wasting time on it

The goal isn’t “perfect analysis” — it’s helping founders move forward with enough clarity to act.

Why the name: “Satisficing” = choosing an option that’s good enough to meet the goal, instead of optimizing forever.

Who it’s for: - indie hackers - side-project builders - founders with too many ideas and not enough launches

I’d love feedback on: 1. What makes you personally stop overthinking and start shipping? 2. What signals do you use to validate an idea fast? 3. What would make a tool like this actually useful in your workflow?
