i’ve been having an existential crisis about indie hacking. is it dying? have i wasted three years building apps that AI will commoditize? am I trapped inside the X bubble? should I pivot to robotics? well, i built an app to talk myself through it all. today, i’m launching it to the world, not with a traditional founder video, but with an indie-rock music video born from some of my existential dread. walky talky is what i use to vent, process my thoughts, capture ideas quickly, and make sense of whatever’s on my mind. it asks me thoughtful questions as I speak, and then summarizes my rambling into useful notes I can revisit later. most AI products give you more answers, more content, and more things to consume. I want AI to do the opposite: stay quietly in the background and give you more space to think. if you've been feeling some of the same uncertainty lately, i hope this little app can help.
