Not that I’m ready to start having the hubby drill holes in the walls just yet, but just a question. Do you use a ridgeline for a strictly indoor hammock? I’m just thinking out loud, but I guess I don’t know enough to figure out if you need one for a hammock (Brazilian?) that would stay put in the same spot all the time.
For an indoor hammock, you don't really need one. They're more to keep the sag of the hammock consistent with inconsistent hangs.
That said, I have one on my indoor hammock. It comes in handy. I drape my blankets over it to make a sort of sock, which keeps it a perfect temperature for me inside, with no blankets on me. Also handy to hang things from and whatnot.

The world would be a lot less grumpy if we all slept in hammocks.
I always use a ridgeline, also on my bed-hammock, because I feel that it improves the lay. I like the ridgeline to be fairly tight.
I don't use one. It just gets in the way.
I use one on my indoor hammock. I hang stuff from it like blankets, lights, etc. I think it helps me keep a more comfortable lay(lie?).
It comes in really handy when I'm working on DIY stuff like tarps or whatnot, and can sort-of hang them up to test.
For a hammock that is going to be connected in the same place all the time, a ridgeline isn't necessary. If you're going to be moving it from place to place, a ridgeline may come in handy.
That said, all my non-bridge hammocks have ridgelines.

Where would I put my alarm clock if I didn’t have my ridgeline organizer.
put the alarm clock on the ground!
Maybe get a Tato Hammock stand from Dutch instead of drilling bolts into the wall? For the record, a ridge line should be standard gear on all hammocks.
Lol! For every reply that says no you don’t need one, there is a corresponding yes, you should have one! So, I sounds like technically I don’t need one but perhaps it is a good idea? I understand that it helps with getting your proper angle. But...if it’s always hanging in the same place, and presumably you are happy with your lay, it would be unnecessary. I mean, if you are using a stand you wouldn’t have one, correct? Also, does anyone know of a way to hang indoors using only one wall anchor and something else on the other side? Our bedroom layout doesn’t look great for using perpendicular walls, and opposite walls are pretty far apart. Asking for a friend, of course!
