SparkTower
SparkTower helps founders and solo builders plan, practice, and execute by choosing a goal path (Ship an MVP, Systemize a business, or Run a company) and using Nova plus a simulations marketplace to generate real artifacts, pressure-test decisions, and build in a startup community.
SparkTower is an interactive hub for startups and builders. Create a profile, explore projects tailored to you, follow new ideas as they grow, and connect with collaborators who want to build something real. Share progress, discover inspiration, and turn curiosity into momentum.
The problem: Ambitious builders stall because the path from idea to execution and operations is unclear and scattered across tools, advice, and noisy communities. They struggle to know the next best step, to create the right artifacts (plans, pitches, roadmaps, operating systems), and to validate decisions before committing time and money. SparkTower provides goal-based paths, simulations, and a builder community so people can move forward with confidence and compounding momentum.
Who it is for: Solo builders and indie hackers who want flexible accountability to ship projects consistently.
Built with: React, TypeScript, Vite, Tailwind CSS, shadcn/ui, React Native, Expo, Node.js, Express 5, PostgreSQL, Drizzle ORM, OpenAI API.

Latest updates
2026-10-22: Would love some feedback on SparkTower. Feel free to create an account and join the journey!
2026-10-14: spent today getting ready for actual strangers: terms of service, a cookie choice, a hold on payouts so nobody can cash out stolen money, and alerts that tell me the second sign-in or payments break. next up: marketing. for three months this feed has been me talking to me. pretty soon it's going to be you talking to me, and I really can't wait. come build something.
2026-10-13: first real outage. shipped a change at 2am that cut the site off from its own database and everything went down for about an hour. just me, the logs, and me talking myself through it out loud. found it, fixed it, wrote down what I check every single time from now on. humbling night. Nala slept through the whole thing.
2026-10-11: the simulation gets creators now — a YouTube channel or a podcast earns from its audience and sponsors, not from selling seats. ran my own channel in it all evening. lost money in month two. painfully realistic.
2026-10-08: and one more for today: a marketplace where people can publish the simulations they build. the money waits until the refund window closes so nobody gets burned.
2026-10-07: it's live. sparktower.app. a real address on the real internet. three months ago this was a note I wrote to myself at night and now anyone can sign up. I told Nala the news and explained what a domain is. Nala is not convinced. I am.
