One of Those Days: Building from Zero EP001

This post is the first in this series, which I'm starting with the goal of documenting my journey as an indie developer building a product from zero.

Brief Introduction:
I'm a full-stack software developer, and my name is Jude Eigbiremonlen.

I'm currently building Moriod, an AI powered exam preparation platform that helps students study smarter, understand their courses better and achieve excellent grades. Starting with students at the university, where I'm furthering my education. The platform is tailored specifically for students at the university.

When I started:

I started building this project last year and deployed it to production in December 2025. Without building every feature before deploying, I just focused on the core features.

And for the past 5 months, my focus has been mainly on distribution and adding user-requested features with a goal of having a stable web version and then building a mobile version by the end of 2026.

Journey:

I focused on distribution and adding features requested by users because I've worked at a product-led startup at its early stage and this has helped me discard the popular assumption that having just a good product or a product that solves a particular problem alone is enough, which is not entirely true.

I'm bootstrapping from zero with no investor or any kind of funding yet and documenting the whole journey here.
So I'm sticking till the end.

In my next post I will share how we got our first 20 signups (all active recurring users), the challenges I encountered, my expectations & dose of reality and what I decided to do.

Product Stats:
Revenure: $0
