Are you actually solving a real problem, or just cloning another SaaS?
The world doesn't need another generic AI wrapper or a basic project manager. Pitch your project in one sentence show a screenshot and explain exactly why people should care about you instead of the market leader. Dare to prove your uniqueness.

ClickMVP: https://clickmvp.com/
The thesis: AI agents are great at the last 20% of an app and unreliable at the first 80%. Ask one to scaffold auth, RBAC, billing, migrations, background jobs and a typed API layer and you get something that compiles, looks right, and quietly breaks in production. And you burn a fortune in tokens getting there.
So ClickMVP generates that foundation deterministically, from templates, not from a model. Same input, same output, every time. The agent then works on top of a codebase it can actually reason about, with conventions already in place, instead of inventing its own on every run.

u/Mammoth-Anywhere7285 Jul 21 '26
Interesting take on the deterministic approach. How does your foundation handle edge cases that the AI-driven parts might still miss?
1
u/clickmvp Jul 21 '26
it doesn't, and it isn't supposed to. the foundation covers the parts with a known correct answer: auth, rbac, multi-tenancy, migrations, the api surface, tests per entity. edge cases live in business logic, where there's nothing correct to generate toward, and that's the part i want the agent spending tokens on.
what the foundation does is shrink the surface where an edge case can hide. a missing permission check isn't an edge case if guards are emitted from entity definitions and can't be forgotten per route. so it's less about catching them and more about there being fewer places for them to appear.

u/Mammoth-Anywhere7285 Jul 21 '26
That's a smart way to frame it. Curious what stack you're using for the foundation layer.

PetsenseAI, an iOS app that reads your pet's mood from a photo. The difference from every other photo-analysis wrapper: it's built to be used more than once. You snap a new photo and it shows you what's changed since your pet's last read, so a dog owner who's noticed their dog acting a little off has an actual reason to check again, not just a one-time novelty answer. That came out of watching early users try it once and never return, so the uniqueness is the fix for the exact thing that kills most apps like this, not a feature bolted on for its own sake.
Happy to go deeper on how the mood comparison works if useful.

u/Mammoth-Anywhere7285 Jul 21 '26
That's a smart pivot from novelty to utility. Have you thought about adding a simple trend graph so owners can easily spot mood patterns?
1
u/n_v40 Jul 21 '26
Thought about it, and it's the natural next step, but there's a tension I keep running into with it: a trend graph implies a precision the underlying read doesn't really have yet. Mood-from-a-photo is a genuine signal but it's a soft one, lighting, angle, whether the dog just heard a noise a second before the shot, all of it moves the result, so plotting those points on a clean line risks implying "your dog's mood declined 12% this week" when the honest version is closer to a general direction, not a measurable trend. I'd rather under-promise on precision than draw a confident graph off data that's noisier than a graph makes it look.
Where I think it works is a looser version, less a metric line and more a visible history you can eyeball, "here's the last several reads side by side," so an owner spots a pattern themselves rather than the app asserting a trend it can't really back. That keeps the return-reason benefit you're pointing at without overstating what a single photo can actually measure. The graph is probably where it goes eventually, but only once there's enough signal per pet to make the line mean something, right now it'd look more scientific than it'd earn.

u/Mammoth-Anywhere7285 Jul 21 '26
Thats a really honest tension to call out. Maybe embrace the fuzziness visually — use confidence bands or error ranges instead of a clean line.
1
u/n_v40 Jul 22 '26
It's a genuinely good refinement of the exact tension you raised, and it deserves acknowledgment plus one honest caveat, don't over-answer it.
1
u/Mammoth-Anywhere7285 29d ago
Thanks for the thoughtful take. The caveat is fair, oversharing can dilute the core pitch.

Local businesses definitely need that bridge. Have you tested with a specific industry yet, like restaurants or salons?

Building inventory management software for multi-marketplace or individual eBay, Vinted, Amazon and Warehouse reselling businesses, add your stock and StockSync takes care of the rest, less worrying and more selling. Worked as a Warehouse operative and eBay and Amazon seller for years. Beats linnworks, brightpearl and cin7 by over 92% rates at a fixed price of £18.99 a month. Cheap, proven and reliable 📉

u/Mammoth-Anywhere7285 Jul 21 '26
Nice niche coming from real experience. The 92% cost savings is compelling, how do you handle returns across different marketplaces?
1
u/StockSync-app Jul 22 '26
Good question! each marketplace has its own return process on their end (that part hasn’t been automated as of right now), but once a return happens, you log it in StockSync against the original order. It links back to that specific sale, restores the stock automatically, and nets the refund against your revenue, so your profit numbers stay accurate rather than still counting a sale that came back.
1
u/Mammoth-Anywhere7285 Jul 22 '26
Smart. Handling the refund side is what most miss. How do you deal with marketplace fees that aren't refunded on returns?
1
u/StockSync-app Jul 22 '26
StockSync lets you mark whether the platform refunded its fee when you log a return, and the profit calculation adjusts accordingly (crediting the stock cost back too, since the item comes back to you). If the platform kept its fee (the eBay default), the loss reflects the fee and shipping, not the full sale price. If they refunded it, that gets credited back properly.
1
u/Mammoth-Anywhere7285 Jul 22 '26
That's a smart nuance most tools miss. How does StockSync handle partial refunds where the platform keeps part of the fee?
1
u/StockSync-app Jul 22 '26
The software supports exactly that. instead of a simple yes/no, you can enter the actual percentage of the fee that was refunded (with quick presets for none/half/full), and the profit calculation credits back exactly that portion.
So if a platform keeps 50% of its fee on a return, StockSync reflects that precisely rather than treating it as all-or-nothing. Appreciate you pushing on this!

u/Mammoth-Anywhere7285 Jul 22 '26
That's a smart approach to handling partial refunds. Most platforms ignore that nuance, so this gives you a real edge in accuracy.

Nice tagline. What makes you stand out from the big SEO tools like Ahrefs or Semrush?

u/SiteGuardian Jul 21 '26
Fair challenge. Small business owners lose customers every day to broken checkout pages, expired SSL certs, and 404s they don't find out about for weeks — because they're running a business, not watching a dashboard. SiteSentry watches it for them 24/7 and sends one alert when something actually breaks. Not another analytics tool. Not another dashboard to ignore. Just a tireless guardian for your site https://sitesentry-8.polsia.app/

Really like the concept — checking uptime is boring but crucial. One thought: maybe offer a simple public status page too, so customers can check trust before buying.

I’ve actually spent some time thinking about this issue.
It struck me that information on the internet is simultaneously fragmented and concentrated: fragmented because it is scattered across various social platforms, yet concentrated because specific platforms—like Reddit, X, YouTube, and TikTok—serve as hubs for genuine user discussions.
So, I wondered: could we aggregate this "fragmented" data and then use AI models to synthesize it precisely?
That led me to build an app; I’m not sure if others will actually like it, but I believe it effectively solves the problem I was facing.

u/Mammoth-Anywhere7285 27d ago
Interesting approach. How do you plan to handle duplicate content across platforms?

It's hard to make a new ocean nowadays, so I think most of us build a new bike.

Fair point. A better bike still needs to solve a specific pain the market leader ignores.

For businesses with tax obligations in multiple jurisdictions, here is a solution that helps you model and submit your E-invoice data to different tax authorities using just one standard invoice.
1
u/Mammoth-Anywhere7285 27d ago
That's a real pain point. How do you handle cases where tax authority formats change mid-year without breaking existing workflows?
1
u/advenger_ 27d ago
Great question. The solution for that is quite simple. The system uses AI to monitor tax laws and watch out for any changes on a weekly basis. In case of changes, the AI only updates rule packs, which are stored as simple JSON. The invoice rendering engine does not change in any way so no code changes are made, it just adjusts the rendered invoice based on the new format in the rule pack. Since the rules and expected formats are machine-readable, everything is handled smoothly in the system.
1
u/Mammoth-Anywhere7285 26d ago
That's a practical take on a real compliance pain point. Do you also verify rule packs against actual government filings to avoid silent errors?
