SAVE TIME UNLESS YOU KNOW YOU CAN SHIP YOUR OWN SOLUTION VERY QUICKLY (not more than 2x than using firebase etc..)! DON'T BE ME. caps lock is a choice, I am screaming to you and to myself!
Thanks for your answer. It helps me realize that I should be able to ship my own backend quite quickly. I don't have prior Firebase experience, and though it was made to save time, that time saved would be ineffective in my case since I would have to do a lot of googling.
Do I know which specific action will guarantee the results I want? Of course not.
I don't mean this.
Do I have a pretty solid understanding of what needs to happen to have a good chance of getting the results? Yep.
Ok, it seems the kind of zone that I mentioned before, now, what's the first step? e.g. Making the first 5 episode as "pilot" for learn while pooping? Make the landing page? Pooping with a stopwatch to understand what will be your limit constraint? Whatever is, just do it ® .
If you don't know exactly what the first step, this is probably the real problem, you didn't seriously wrap your head around this idea...
Are the steps needed to get to the next level well defined, or are they only ideas? I tend to think a lot about things but until I spend some time putting down some actionable steps I don’t do nothing if not thinking about the same thoughts again and again
Having actionable steps help me jump quickly in the work and this often help getting in the zone and “unlock” situations where I feel blocked.
I don’t know, probably it is just me, but keeping an idea “vague” it leaves me in this strangely comfortable zone where I think: “I have this great idea that when I want to do and will change things for me”, but in the end I never start doing it...

Depends on what you mean by well defined.

If I am not wrong, you can go there when you have an already launched/profitable project. I don't see a way to start a new "product" if I go here: www.indiehackers.com/products.
I would love to see the story behind it along the way, not as an afterthought (so, biased). What I am thinking about is a lot more like the Twitter's feed (without limitations). One could post video logs if he does take them, simple one-liners thoughts, more articulated posts, etc...
With features focused to highlight a project, build audience etc... would be cool even for other entrepreneurial adventures like physical shops and all kind of "side hustles".
I assumed you knew firebase, but if you don't so goes with tools you are familiar. When your product will make money, you will be motivated enough in doing a transition if you need it
