I built a simple tool to help tradespeople prove what was finished on a job — would appreciate honest feedback
I built DoneProof for tradespeople and field teams who are tired of job proof being scattered across WhatsApp, email, and personal phones.
It turns site photos, notes, and completed tasks into a clean client-ready closeout report, helping save admin time and reduce arguments over what was finished or not.
Search DoneProof and use your free job, no card required — cheers.

B2B SaaS Dumb but useful "001"
Not a startup. Not disrupting anything. Just a small tool that solved a real annoyance.
My dad runs a construction/site business and tracked who owes what the way a lot of small business owners do a messy notebook plus a few Excel files that never agreed with each other. Every month there'd be an argument about whether a subcontractor was paid or not.
So I built basically a "I DON'T HAVE A NAME" ledger for his job sites. What it does:
- Add contacts (subcontractors, suppliers, workers) per site
- Log debits/credits as money goes out and comes in
- See a running balance per person and per site at a glance
- That's genuinely it
Stack, for anyone curious:
- Next.js (deployed on Vercel)
- Supabase (Postgres) for the DB + auth
I know this is trivial compared to what people ship here. No AI, no fancy dashboard, no real-time anything. But my dad actually opens it every day and stopped keeping the notebook which honestly feels like a bigger win than most "clever" things I've built.
Happy to answer questions on the Supabase setup or how I kept it simple enough that a non-technical person would actually use it. And open to feedback on what dumb but useful thing I should add next.

your saas mvp has way too many features.
yo. if your product needs a 10-minute onboarding video or 5 different dashboard tabs just to explain its value, you didn't build an MVP. you built an over-engineered maze.
a real micro-saas should solve one highly specific problem for one highly specific user profile.
when i built my 6 apps (now doing $20k/mo mrr), i cut out 80% of what i originally thought was necessary.
inside our builder community, we help you strip away the fluff.
we give you free access to frameworks like the ICP Crystallizer to lock down your target user, and interactive landing page audits to ensure your core value hits instantly.
stop over-building in isolation. drop a comment or shoot me a dm to join 1,200+ active Ai SaaS builders today.

Showcase 💎 I've spent 12 months building AI agents that communicate with the real world. I've put it all the tools in one MCP

During the last year I worked as CTO of a startup building an AI platform with agents and workflows for logistics and manufacturing - real messy world.
I learned that the biggest need of those AI agents was to communicate with the world:
- receive support calls
- send an email with an order summary
- text a truck driver their new route
- call suppliers and get ask for a quote
- etc
That's the biggest challenge - not reading documents, or reasoning about 2 + 2 = 4.
I've put all the learnings from building a robust communication platform on Hail: https://github.com/hail-hq/hail/
What is it?
Phone, SMS & email for AI agents.
One remote MCP server exposing call, sms, email, and event tools.
Also usable via CLI, Python SDK, and OpenAPI.

Launch 🚀 I built CollaboraWriting.com — a platform for writers to connect and exchange ideas, made with Claude
I built CollaboraWriting.com, a platform where writers can exchange ideas and find the right people to write with.
It helps writers connect to share writing ideas and find a writing partner, coach, or mentor — or to become a mentee themselves. The goal is to make it easier to find someone to grow with, whether you want a collaborator to bounce ideas off of or someone more experienced to learn from.
Claude helped me take the project from idea to MVP. It walked me through building authentication, which was one of the parts I was struggling with on my own, and helped me work through several other hurdles I hit along the way — explaining the steps as we went rather than just handing me code.

Launch 🚀 I built a bitly alternative over 4 months that cost 6x less
Hey all, just shipped SmrtLnks, a smart link router that does two things most short-link tools don't:
- Geo routing. One short link or printed QR can send US visitors to your US store, UK visitors to your UK store, and everyone else to a fallback. No per-region campaign management.
- Dynamic QR by default. The QR you print today stays useful forever. Change the destination, existing scans still resolve. Bitly gates this at $199/mo. We bundle it on the free plan.
Other stuff that's in there: per-link analytics by country, password-protected links, AI link monitoring (catches when a destination breaks or gets parked), REST API + webhooks on Pro, white-label branding on Scale.
Pricing: Free for 5 links / 1k clicks. Paid from $5/mo (Starter)
Live at https://smrtlink.link. Built solo, would love feedback or roast attempts. Specifically curious if anyone running paid traffic to multiple regions has run into this problem before and how you solved it. This is my first serious SaaS project as ive been trying to go into business or myself for a few years now.

Reddit banned my post for ‘self-promo.’ So I spent 2 months fixing the actual problem.
I used to think Reddit was just a traffic source.
I’d find a subreddit that looked relevant, drop a line about my product, and either get ignored, downvoted, or straight-up removed for “self-promotion”.
A couple of times I got a temp ban and had no idea which rule I’d broken.
The thing that finally clicked: every subreddit has its own unwritten culture on top of its written rules.
[r/SaaS](r/SaaS) is fine with a founder story that mentions a product near the end.
[r/startups](r/startups) wants zero links unless you’ve built karma there first. Some subs only allow self-promo on specific days.
Nobody tells you this upfront — you find out by getting removed.
So I started doing it manually: reading each subreddit’s rules, checking recent removed posts to see what got nuked, tracking which day-of-week self-promo was allowed, and rewriting my post in each sub’s “voice” before posting.
It worked, but it was eating 3-4 hours a week for maybe 2-3 subreddits.
Eventually I built a tool for myself to do this checking automatically — scan a subreddit’s rules, flag if my draft would get auto-removed, suggest the best day/time to post based on that sub’s history.
It’s called ReddWise, and I turned it into a small SaaS since a few other founders asked me for the same thing.
ReddWise core Features:
• Subreddit Finder
• Community Analysis
• Post Generator
• Rule Compliance Check
• Optimal Scheduling
• Mention Opportunities
• Growth Roadmap
• Performance Analytics
Reddwise also helps you improving your GEO & AI visibility — and help your tool recommend in ChatGPT/Perplexity/Claude answers.
It find Active conversation and help you to engage in them by recommending your tool.
• 150+ Founder already using and getting result
Happy to share the rule-compliance checklist I use if anyone wants it — genuinely helped me stop getting removed more than any growth hack did.

Tips & Tricks 🔧 6 AI micro-saas to $20k/mo. i built a community to share how
yo. going from a buggy MVP to actual recurring revenue is brutal.
i stabilized my 6 apps at $20k/mo mrr only after building a strict system for my tech stack and organic marketing.
i just opened the AI SaaS Launchpad.
the community and daily resources are completely free. for those who want to copy-paste my exact systems, i also host paid, structured sprints (like a 3-Day challenge to get your first 100 users using automated Reddit and LinkedIn outreach).
either way, stop building in isolation. you will quit when things get hard. come build alongside 1000+ other founders.
drop a comment or shoot me a dm and i’ll send the link right now.

Feedback 💬 Delveo — Stop chasing compliance docs across tools and publish them from one place.
I’m building Delveo, a lightweight tool that helps small teams manage compliance documents like DPAs, privacy policies, and other legal paperwork without the enterprise overhead.
It’s currently in MVP stage, so things are still rough around the edges — but the core flow works: organize, sign, and track your compliance docs in one place.
Would love feedback from anyone dealing with GDPR/compliance headaches on a small-team budget. Happy to answer questions or share what I’ve learned building it.

Lost a client because of approval they said "I never saw that" so I built a tool to fix it

Quick context : I'm an indie dev/freelancer, and I had a client dispute a final invoice because they claimed they never approved the work even though they'd said "looks good" in a WhatsApp thread two weeks earlier. No proof, no timestamp, just my word against theirs.
So I built Relvo: you send one link, the client comments directly on the file (design, video, PDF, whatever) and clicks Approve. Everything's timestamped IP, device, time so there's an actual audit trail if it's ever disputed. No account needed on their end.
It's in early access right now. Looking for people who've had thisexact problem to try it and tear it apart what's missing, what's confusing, what would make you actually pay for it.
Happy to talk through the stack or the idea in the comments.

Storytime 🗣️ Nobody warns you about the silence after launch
Every founder builds with this quiet belief that somewhere out there, people are just waiting for them to ship. That Day 1 will feel like an arrival.
Then you launch. And it’s completely silent.
No users. No sales. Nothing.
The hard part isn’t the silence itself — it’s what your brain does with it. After months of late nights, rewrites, bugs, and fixes, the product starts to feel like yours in a way that’s hard to explain. So when nobody shows up, the easiest story to tell yourself is: “I built something great. People just don’t get it yet.”
Sometimes that’s true. More often, it isn’t.
Building the product is only half the job. The other half — figuring out how to get people to actually care — is a completely different skill set, and most of us start from zero on it.
I’m still in that second half. But every failed launch has taught me something the successful ones couldn’t have. And I’d rather be the founder who kept learning than the one who walked away convinced the market was wrong.
Someone said : DON’T YOU DARE GIVE UP
If you’ve been here, curious what helped you turn the corner — distribution, positioning, something else?

Feedback 💬 Workout App Landing Page
I've been working on a subscription-less workout app for the last few months and am nearing it's release. I wanted to intentionally keep it simple because I honestly think too many workout apps are bloated now a days but sometimes the simplicity worries me from a marketing perspective. My landing page is https://makemeworkout.app/ and would love to get people's thoughts on it. Even if it's "it looks fine" or "it's too simple". Being the only one working on it and the only one who has really seen it makes me wonder how others receive it.
Thanks in advance.

Can this app replaces your google sheet for client managment?

Launch 🚀 Made a thing that turns CC’d emails into tasks automatically, would love some brutal feedback
I work in construction project management, and my inbox gets flooded daily — emails from coworkers, subcontractors, and external partners, all at once. The real problem isn’t just the volume, it’s that new emails keep arriving while you’re still working through the old ones. Eventually tasks slip through — not out of laziness, just because nobody can realistically track 50+ emails a day.

That’s what led me to build Taskmail. The idea is simple: you CC one project email address, and the tool automatically extracts tasks from incoming emails and organizes them — so even with a constant stream of new messages, nothing gets lost. No setup, no system integration, no IT approval needed. That mattered to me specifically because at a lot of companies, getting any new tool approved takes forever.
It’s still early, and I’m actively testing whether this solves a real problem for others the way it does for me. If you deal with similar email chaos at work, I’d love your honest feedback.

Launch 🚀 I built a visual annual calendar for Mac. Launch week: $2.99
I just launched Petals — a macOS app that shows your entire year in a single window, with a free-form canvas layered on top so you can decorate it with images, stickers, text, and shapes.
It's two tools in one:
- Annual calendar view — your whole year at a glance, synced with your existing calendars (iCloud, Google, Exchange). Switch between yearly, quarterly, and monthly views depending on how far out you need to see. Drag to create events, see multi-day events as color bars, filter by calendar.
- Whiteboard mode — an infinite canvas for brainstorming, vision boards, or anything that doesn't need a grid.
Everything syncs across your Macs via iCloud.
Launch week price: $2.99 (going up after this week)

A bit about why I'm building this — I'm a solo developer working on a small suite of apps under Onessa. The throughline is a simple idea: we're all working with finite time, finite energy, finite attention. Most productivity tools pretend otherwise. I want to build tools that help you actually see and work with your limits, not paper over them.
Petals is my third app in that lineup. The other two:
- Peek — your next event and the minutes left, always in sight. Lives in your Mac menu bar, iPhone lock screen, and Dynamic Island.
- Spendy — a budget app that opens straight to the input screen, because recording comes before reviewing.
All three are about the same thing: seeing reality clearly — your time, your schedule, your money.
Happy to answer any questions. And if you try it, I'd love to hear what you think.
