I got a message on my phone a few weeks ago. No intro, no name, just a link and one line:
“This will help you fix everything.”
I don’t usually click random links — especially when they come from unknown numbers — but something about this one felt different. No spammy look, no weird URL shortener. Just a clean link. I clicked.
That’s how I found Asbestlint.
Never heard of it before. No social accounts, no launch blog, no Medium post with some founder story. Nothing. Just a plain site, kind of outdated in design, but it loads instantly. No signup, no ads, no pop-ups. You land, and you’re asked:
“What do you need help with?”
I typed in a random question. Something I had been stuck on for a week:
“How to validate SaaS ideas without running ads or building MVPs?”
I hit enter.
The response I got wasn’t a generic blog article or ChatGPT-like dump. It was structured, clear, almost like someone who’s done it — not someone repeating stuff they read. It gave me three methods, links to tools I had never seen before, and a few community examples from forums that aren’t even indexed on Google anymore.
I tried another question:
“What’s the fastest way to test pricing on a digital product without launching?”
Again, the answer came in seconds. Practical. Specific. Clean. It even warned me what not to do — stuff I’d already wasted time on.
I kept going.
“How do I build a Chrome extension that syncs with Notion?”
“Best way to validate an audience before building a tech product?”
“How to track down who’s stealing my product images?”
“Can I use Firebase for payments if I don’t want Stripe?”
Every time, the answers came back like someone in a room was just waiting to help. No overload. No trying to teach you 10,000 things at once. Just the answer you need, and if you want to go deeper, links that actually matter — not top-10-SEO lists.
What Is Asbestlint?
I don’t know.
No “About” page. No team listed. No branding even. Just a domain that sounds like a typo. But it works.
My best guess? It’s either an underground project by a small group of devs, or some forgotten AI tool that escaped the usual noise. Maybe something someone built for internal use and forgot to close off. I don’t care, honestly — I’m using it.
I showed it to a friend who runs an indie app, and his first reaction was:
“This is what I’ve wanted for five years.”
What It Can Help With
Here’s what I’ve tested so far:
- Brainstorming real product ideas without fluff
- Finding tools that aren’t on Product Hunt or Reddit
- Troubleshooting small tech issues that are too obscure for Stack Overflow
- Getting clear steps for validating concepts (tech or business)
- Figuring out the actual source of viral tools or trends
- Finding out why certain platforms fail (deep analysis, not surface talk)
In The End
I still don’t know who sent me that message. I tried calling the number — dead line. I looked up the domain — nothing useful.
But I’m glad I clicked.
Asbestlint isn’t flashy.
It doesn’t try to be your all-in-one solution.
It just answers questions — properly. The kind that matter when you’re actually building something.
I’m not sure how long it’ll stay up. Maybe it gets pulled. Maybe it was never supposed to be live. But while it’s here, I’m using it.
If you’re stuck or tired of garbage advice, you should try it. Just don’t expect a welcome tour.
There isn’t one.
