Indie developer martyamark is launching RSS to Kindle on Product Hunt tomorrow, admitting the launch plan was mainly for backlinks.
The product came from personal need: morning doomscrolling left him anxious, but reading on his Kindle didn't. He vibe-coded a tool to push RSS content to the Kindle for morning reading. Building for himself led to something new: users sending thank-you emails, which never happened in his 7 years of launching products. The launch prep also shifted his mindset from build mode to marketing mode.
