FoundStep

FoundStep is a project management system built specifically for solo developers and indie hackers who struggle to finish side projects. Its workflow moves projects through idea capture, AI validation, decision-making, scope locking, building, and shipping. Before development starts, its AI researches an idea across market demand, competition, pricing, reach, founder fit, and buildability. Once a project enters development, FoundStep limits feature growth and requires a reason before locked scope can be expanded. Its AI Next Action feature examines deadlines, todos, scope changes, and project status to surface one priority instead of another long task list. An MVP Planner also creates features, subtasks, dependencies, estimates, and post-launch suggestions.
