EST. 2025 / A DO-ERS' CLUB
7 days,one validated idea.
A hands-on accountability club for one-person companies and indie hackers. No courses to binge — every week you push one idea all the way to a testable MVP. Failure counts as a data point.
52 weeks = 52 iterations · 10 members
01 / WHY IT'S HARD
Building a product solo, the hardest part isn't the tech —
it's that nobody holds you to shipping
The idea graveyard
47 tutorials saved, 0 products shipped. The collection keeps growing while the product stays stuck at “someday”.
No accountability
Procrastination is free and quitting goes unnoticed. A solo builder's worst enemy is the missing deadline.
The feedback vacuum
You ship and nobody looks, so you never learn what's wrong. Without real users, iterating is just talking to yourself.
02 / THE 7-DAY LOOP
Seven days is the smallest honest cycle
- D1
Nail the idea down
Turn the vague idea into a one-page testable hypothesis.
- D2
User research
Find 5 target users and ask until the real need shows.
- D3
Clickable prototype
Core flow only — a demo you can walk through in 30 minutes.
- D4
Core build
Cut everything non-essential and go all in on the main path.
- D5
Ship it
However rough, get it into real users' hands first.
- D6
Real distribution
Go where your users hang out and earn your first traffic.
- D7
Public retrospective
Let the data talk: what got validated, what's next.
A week is too short to fool yourself, and just long enough to meet real users.

“大三学生，第一个项目"食堂排队实况"。D1 选题的时候觉得全校都需要，D2 蹲了三个食堂数人头，发现高峰就 40 分钟，窗口期比想象短得多。”

“纠结要不要把每日 build log 同步到公开博客。担心被抄想法，但又想要公开的问责压力。”

“产品开始有付费用户后，每天花 1 小时回邮件。大家是用 AI 客服、异步文档，还是干脆限定响应时间？”

Frequently asked questions
Q01What is the 7-Day Club?
A hands-on, accountability-driven community for one-person companies (OPC) and indie developers. Every 7 days is one iteration unit: turn an idea into a testable MVP, then into a product with revenue.
Q02How is it different from a course community?
No courses to watch or hoard. Every week you push one idea to a testable MVP for real — failure counts as a data point. 52 weeks a year means 52 real iterations.
Q03Does it cost anything to join?
Joining is free for now: register and you're a member — posting, the library and our in-house tools are all open. The only paid item is the Founder Seat: ¥299 lifetime membership, limited to 100 seats released in 30/40/30 batches, never restocked once sold out.
Q04Can I get a refund?
Founder Seats come with a 7-day no-questions-asked refund. We sell membership itself and promise no returns. Joining is free at this stage, so there's nothing to refund.
Q05Will there be a Demo Day?
Yes. The first Demo Day module is on hold; we'll announce on-site before it returns. For now members post public retrospectives in the community and build real data points.
Q06How do I get started?
Join anytime. Register a free account to post, read the library and use the tools.
06 / JOIN THE CLUB
Join free, right now.
Sign up and you're a member: posting, the library and tools are all unlocked. Demos, camps and paid perks return later — announced well before they do.
