Ortwort

Ask people who are actually there.

September 7, 2026 Before You Build It, Ask First

I built Ortwort because I think we’re getting very good at building things before asking if anyone actually wants them.

With AI and vibe coding, you can build an entire SaaS in a weekend.

But validation is still the hard part.

Ortwort lets you ask a question to people in a specific place.

For example:

“Would you use a coworking space here?”

“Would you visit this restaurant?”

“Should this street become car-free?”

Instead of asking random people on the internet, you ask people who are actually there.

I’m a solo founder and built Ortwort myself. It’s live now, and I’m trying to find out where this is genuinely useful.

Would love to hear how other Indie Hackers validate their ideas before building them.
