My Product Planning 2026

After a lot of back-and-forth (and some long conversations with ChatGPT), I finally sat down and made some hard decisions about the products I built in 2025 — and what I want to carry forward into 2026.

Honestly, this feels more like clearing mental clutter than planning. But it’s probably necessary.

FiiHQ

I’ve decided to give up the idea of building more FilamentPHP plugins. I still love Filament, but instead of plugins, I want to focus on integrating it with NativePHP — basically building an app (Statisfy) over Filament and bring native experiences on it. That direction feels more interesting (and more me) right now.

RebuildHQ

This started as a hobby project — my first “proper” AI product launch. I didn’t expect much from it, but turns out it has more potential than I originally thought. I’m still undecided, but I might put more thought and effort into it and see where it goes.

InkSG & ClipSend

These two will be my main focus going into 2026. They’re clear, practical, and actually solve problems I care about. If I’m going to push for product revenue this year, these are the ones I’ll bet on.

HookFeed & PaidVerified

These are still very much “built because I need them” products. No big revenue expectations — just tools that make my own workflow easier. If others find them useful later, that’s a bonus.

VisionGPT

I built this because I was genuinely impressed by AI vision capabilities. The tech is cool, but so far it hasn’t really received much positive feedback. That’s a signal I can’t ignore, so for now, it’s on pause.

RenderTogether

Archived. Not much traction, not much potential. Time to let it go.

EchoMood

Also archived. This was built during my Bolt phase, and since I’m no longer subscribed, it doesn’t make sense to continue. Platform-based vibe coding feels a bit like no-code to me — exciting at first, but often hits a ceiling fast.

So yeah, I’m basically splitting everything into a few clear buckets:

Products for profit

  • InkSG
  • ClipSend
  • Statisfy

Products for self-use

  • HookFeed
  • PaidVerified
  • Statify

Archived products

  • RenderTogether
  • EchoMood

Undecided (for now)

  • RebuildHQ
  • VisionGPT

That’s the plan. No big promises, no hype — just trying to be more intentional with where I spend my time and energy.

Let’s hope 2026 turns out to be a different year. We’ll see how it goes.
