From Dorm Room to Dozen Startups โ€” My 12x12 Indie Journey Begins

Hey there! ๐Ÿ‘‹
Iโ€™m Fayaz, a software professional and indie hacker with an obsession for building products fast. After spending months experimenting, learning, and lurking in build-in-public threads, I finally decided to challenge myself in the most intense way I could think of:

## 12 Products in 12 Months.
Yup โ€” Iโ€™m spending the next year heads-down, launching one product every month from my dorm room. Tiny SaaS tools, niche utilities, AI-powered helpers โ€” if it solves a real problem and can ship fast, Iโ€™m building it.

## ๐Ÿšง What I Just Built (June 2025): loremapis.com
My first launch is loremapis.com โ€” a no-code mock API generator for developers. Think of it as:

Mockoon + Prisma Studio โ€” but schema-driven and AI-powered

Hereโ€™s the pitch:

  • Visually design your database schema

  • Instantly get mock data + hosted CRUD APIs

  • Use the endpoints right away in your projects

Why I built it?

As a frontend dev, I was tired of wasting time spinning up fake APIs or mocking data manually just to test things. So I figured โ€” why not automate the whole thing?

Whatโ€™s Next?

Another month. Another idea. Another tiny product. Another lesson.
Stay tuned โ€” Iโ€™ll be back by the end of July with a fresh build.

Until then, check out loremapis.com.
