Why a tool idea generator works
Most people do not lack the ability to build tools — they lack a starting point they can get excited about. Staring at "build something useful" is paralyzing because "useful" is abstract. A concrete, slightly opinionated idea — "a clipboard shelf for snippets you paste daily" — gives your brain something to react to: you immediately know whether you want it, who would use it, and what the first version looks like. That reaction is the real product of an idea generator.
The indie-hacker playbook backs this up: small, single-purpose tools win by doing one job well, shipping fast, and staying maintainable by one person. Browser utilities, tiny productivity helpers and developer micro-tools fit that shape perfectly — no accounts, no heavy infrastructure, no support burden on day one. ToolTinder's categories are chosen around exactly that sweet spot.
How the generator works
Type an optional keyword — "invoices", "photos", "habits" — or leave it blank and browse the full menu. Choose one or more categories: browser utility, productivity, creator, developer, or just-for-fun. Each idea comes as a name plus a one-line pitch describing what it does and for whom. Randomness comes from crypto.getRandomValues, duplicates are filtered, and every idea has its own Copy button. Use Copy all to keep a shortlist, or Download .txt for your idea vault.
