Product Weekend May 2026 - WebHookHQ

This is the first Product Weekend where I didn’t really complete the MVP. At first, I struggled with what to build. I have way too many ideas as usual, but I eventually decided to revisit WebHookHQ, one of the very first products I worked on in my early indie-hacking

Product Weekend Apr 2026 - Landing Pages

I’m trying to keep the momentum going from March. Felt like I finally got back into a good rhythm building things, so naturally I want to continue… but also not rush into the wrong thing. I was stuck between rebuilding HookFeed or revamping ClipSend. Spent some time going back

Product Weekend Mar 2026 - Statify

I decided to pivot and rebuild Statify during Product Weekend in March. The previous version I built last year didn’t really go anywhere. I was trying to do too much — GUI builder, backend engine, pulling external APIs… it felt heavy and not very practical. So this time I stripped

Product Weekend Feb 2026 - Echo Series

The Feb Product Weekend is a little bit different from my usual ones. Normally I spend the weekend building my own ideas. But this round I decided to try something else — pick up a few ideas from my clients and build quick prototypes for them. Honestly, sometimes building based on

Product Weekend Jan 2026 - MD2Page

I’ve had this product idea in my mind for quite a while. With the growth of AI agents recently, Markdown content seems to be getting more popular again. It almost feels like Markdown is slowly becoming the common exchange format between AI agents. Because of that, the idea came

Product Weekend 2025

I started Product Weekend in 2024 and kept it going through 2025. By the end of the year, I completed nine Product Weekends. Every single one was about building something. Not everything shipped. Some stayed as prototypes. Some lost momentum halfway. But honestly, I looked forward to each month’s

Product Weekend July 2025

Honestly, after missing Product Weekend last month (I dragged it out until the last week and ended up with last-minute work I couldn’t skip), I told myself—don’t let that happen again. This time, I actually started Product Weekend early to avoid the same mess. What did I

Product Weekend Apr 2025

Two days before my product weekend in April, OpenAI released the Image API gpt-image-1 model, which drove tons of traffic when they released the image-generating tools through ChatGPT. This allows you to generate AI images without access to ChatGPT.I immediately thought of building a tool to utilise the API

Product Weekend Mar 2025

My product weekend for March is relatively straightforward. Since I'm still engaged in my freelance project, I aim to build and release an open-source plugin for FilamentPHP.  Initially, I considered converting my earlier CMS concept, Flow, into a plugin.  However, a new idea emerged: I want to create

Product Weekend Feb 2025

I have just launched the 2025 edition of the Product Weekend, a series I began in 2023. Each month, I dedicate a weekend to focus on my products, whether it involves enhancing existing features, developing new ideas, or researching and creating prototypes. The series typically runs from February through November,

Product Weekend #10 2024

My product for Weekend #10 is to build a payment verification tool for my upcoming product release. Since I am planning to release a paid product, I need a system that verifies users are paid customers by their email addresses. Therefore, I'm developing a product that checks whether

Product Weekend #9 2024

My product weekend #9 was relatively straightforward: I explored various AI tools to see what I could build. Here's what I've planned https://x.com/imknight/status/1849812999701397813 What I have done so far. https://x.com/imknight/status/1851263374736441847 I included Zed AI, Cursor AI,

Product Weekend #8 2024

This is another delayed post for my Product Weekend #8 in September. The idea for Product Weekend #8 emerged after I built SimplifyAI and some prototype AI widgets. The foundation of these prototypes is AI and APIs. I thought, what if I create an API that interacts with AI and

Product Weekend #7 2024

I had a challenging weekend for The Product Weekend #7. It got delayed, and I didn't make as much progress as I had hoped. However, I did come up with something interesting in the end. Product weekends typically start on Friday and end on Sunday, sometimes extending to

Product Weekend #6 2024

I had the idea for this product while working on my fifth product weekend. After waiting for nearly a month, I finally added it to my latest product weekend, and I hope to launch it soon. Here's what I've planned https://x.com/imknight/status/1816836646614237315

Product Weekend #5 2024

I am proud of myself for continuing the weekend campaign for our fifth round since February. Although I haven't seen significant growth from this weekend's campaign, consistency is the key. Here's what I've planned https://x.com/imknight/status/1801636530483863949 What I

Product Weekend 2024 #4

I've been doing this every month, and I'm really into it. I set aside a weekend every month to focus on building products or trying something new, and it feels great. Here's what I've planned https://x.com/imknight/status/1791469212395032625 What

Product Weekend 2024 #3

I know it's a bit late, but I finally finished writing my post on Product Weekend #3 before the next Product Weekend. During Product Weekend #3, I focused on building up HookFeed. Here's what I had planned: https://twitter.com/imknight/status/1781329002793472098 What I have

Product Weekend 2024 #2

After having a successful first Product Weekend, I thought of trying to push my product-building momentum by having the same campaign once a month. However, the second Product Weekend didn't add much value this time. Here's what I had planned https://twitter.com/imknight/status/1768644988986925226

Product Weekend 2024 #1

I love to focus on doing my own things over the weekend. It's like a hackathon from the old days, although I never officially participated in one. Sometimes I clear a few tasks over the weekend, while other times I focus on building a product prototype. In any

Product Weekend #2

I managed to have some free time last week; it will be another long weekend, so that I will have some time for myself from Saturday to Monday. That’s why I decided it was time for Product Weekend the second time. Results of my Product Weekend include 🚀 build one

Product Weekend #1

For the past few days, I put aside all my freelance work and tried to focus on three things for my products while celebrating my 42 birthday. The results are not so bad; I didn't complete all my goals, I learned something about the hard limit, and it
