Hey, I'm Ondrej

I'm an indie maker. I write about product ideas - how to come up with them, validate them and build them.

Projects

Ideas to Makers - one new product idea in your mailbox every week
‍IdeaPad - Notion system for capturing and evaluating product ideas
‍FinallyDot.com - We’ll find a .com domain for your business
‍MTBWeekly - a place where I write about my favorite pass time, mountain biking

Thoughts

Don't build products, build relationships

Pitching your idea to strangers is not validation. In order to validate your product idea, you have to first forget about it and start building relationships. You will unlock learnings from your future users and navigate towards the right product to build.

A Notion system for capturing product ideas

I've developed a Notion system to capture, organize and evaluate my product ideas. It helped me be more critical of my ideas, motivated me to find easy ways to validate them and let me see patterns between my ideas.

How to be a better idea communicator

I've been struggling with conveying ideas to others. On my journey to improve I discovered that writing down ideas I've heard or read about helped me a lot. I've also discovered how the curse of knowledge impairs my ability to clearly communicate something I've learned with others.
