Hi! I'm Soraya, a frontend web developer. Now freelancing, I specialize in Next.js and React. I'm also passionate about self-improvement and business !

What I learned from Mocktopus:
Your idea deserves to exist sooner than you think.

[Soraya Cantos @Sosobloom]

If you have an idea in your head that won’t leave you alone—
build the dumb version of it.
Just one page. See what happens.

[Soraya Cantos @Sosobloom]

If you’ve ever built something with AI tools, what surprised you the most?

[Soraya Cantos @Sosobloom]

AI tools don’t remove the work.
They just move it earlier. You think harder, sooner. And that’s a good thing.

[Soraya Cantos @Sosobloom]

What if the best part of AI is that it helps bad ideas fail faster?

[Soraya Cantos @Sosobloom]

AI won’t build your startup.
But it will absolutely lower the cost and pain of trying.

[Soraya Cantos @Sosobloom]

I don’t know if Mocktopus will “work”.
But I know I’m glad I gave it a shot.

[Soraya Cantos @Sosobloom]

I used to think launching something meant everything had to be perfect.
Now I think it means: it’s online and someone can click it.

[Soraya Cantos @Sosobloom]

Mocktopus is still cooking.
But I’d rather share it messy than build it alone in silence.

[Soraya Cantos @Sosobloom]

I asked Windsurf to add a DB to https://t.co/6dIbAKZYht I barely understand.
It didn’t work right away.
And that’s when I remembered: AI doesn’t replace understanding. It just gets you closer to it faster.

[Soraya Cantos @Sosobloom]

I used Next.js and Tailwind CSS to build https://t.co/6dIbAKZqrV.
Windsurf didn’t use the latest React server/client setup.
But that was OK. It was just fast. I could still guide it.

[Soraya Cantos @Sosobloom]

The idea behind Mocktopus is simple:
Help indie hackers validate ideas before building.

[Soraya Cantos @Sosobloom]

I didn’t ask Windsurf for a nice design. I got one anyway.
Minimal. Professional.
I shipped it as-is.

[Soraya Cantos @Sosobloom]

I tried Windsurf without expecting much.
30 minutes later I had a beautiful landing page!!!!

[Soraya Cantos @Sosobloom]

I didn’t want to build another big thing.
Just wanted to test a small idea. One that wouldn’t take me down with it.

[Soraya Cantos @Sosobloom]

The hardest part about building solo isn’t the code.
It’s deciding when to not build.

[Soraya Cantos @Sosobloom]

Building something new feels scary when your last project flopped.
But sometimes, the failure gives you the clearest vision.

[Soraya Cantos @Sosobloom]

I once spent 4 months building a SaaS that I couldn' t even properly launch.
After that, I decided to test my ideas before committing 100% to the product.

[Soraya Cantos @Sosobloom]

I just published From an Idea to the First Version of my App with AI Code https://t.co/FE8q2tGz5E
