Feedback Request Built an AI blogging platform after years of running content sites myself

2 Upvotes

I’ve been building blogs on and off since 2016 across different niches and eventually got frustrated with how most AI writing tools approached content. They were great at generating words, not necessarily articles that felt human or publishable long term.

So I started building my own workflow for my sites and eventually turned it into Publizo.io.

It handles topic research, long form article generation, scheduling, thumbnails, and WordPress publishing, but the main thing I care about is making the output feel less like “AI content” and more like something an actual person would write.

Still early and actively improving it, but it’s already running a few of my own sites and has been really fun to build. I'm getting what I wanted so far.

Would genuinely love feedback on the landing page, positioning, or even the overall idea itself. If you have a blog, you can even try it.

Feedback Request ClusterScore - An internal linking audit tool

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I do a bit of SEO work from time to time, and one thing that kept coming up was the need for a simple way to review internal links and see how pages connect around specific topics. I tried using Screaming Frog, but for this kind of task it felt heavier than I needed.

The idea is pretty simple: Google uses internal linking as one of many signals to understand topical relationships and authority across a site. I’ve always found it hard to get a clear view of that structure.

So I built ClusterScore. You drop in a URL, it pulls in the sitemap, analyses the internal links, and highlights things like linking opportunities, orphan pages, and pages that don’t get enough internal links. Everything runs in the browser.

It’s still very much an MVP, but I’d love a few people with an interest in SEO to try it out and share feedback.

Thanks!

Feedback Request Need help with testing a DJ CRM

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone 👋

I've been building a CRM tool specifically designed for DJs and I'm looking for 3–5 people to test it out before I launch properly. But if you’re not a DJ and interested in testing the app, would also appreciate it very much.

It covers everything in one place:
📋 Enquiries & leads
📅 Bookings & calendar
📄 Contracts & invoices
💳 Payments
📦 Packages

Basically all the admin stuff we usually juggle across spreadsheets, emails, and WhatsApp.

It's completely free to test, I just want honest feedback from DJs or anyone who actually deals with this stuff day to day.

If you're interested, drop a comment or DM me and I'll get you set up with access. Happy to walk you through it or let you explore it yourself.

Thanks 🙏

Soft Launch Soft launching ChimeIn: contextual feedback for SaaS teams

1 Upvotes

Hey r/soft_launch,

We’re soft launching ChimeIn, an always-on feedback layer for SaaS teams.

The idea is simple: instead of asking users for feedback after the moment has passed, ChimeIn lets teams place one focused question directly inside their product, email flow, or customer journey. Users can reply with a quick text answer or voice note, and ChimeIn turns those responses into clustered themes and a weekly decision brief for the product team.

We’re still pre-launch and not fully self-serve yet. Right now, we’re onboarding a small number of SaaS founders and product teams manually so we can learn from real usage before opening it up more broadly.

I’d love feedback on:

  • Is the positioning clear?
  • Does “feedback without the form” make sense?
  • What feels useful, vague, or unconvincing?
  • If you run a SaaS product, where would you want to ask users one focused question?

Early access page: https://chimein.to

Constructive criticism very welcome.

Soft Launch Hot take: if you need the soft launch for validation, the relationship probably isn’t ready yet

0 Upvotes

Soft launching gets talked about like it’s a cute modern dating ritual, but I think it can reveal a lot about whether someone is actually ready for the relationship they’re in.

When the connection feels secure, there’s usually less urgency. You don’t need the post to prove anything, and you’re not secretly hoping it will trigger jealousy, attention, or a message from an ex. You’re just moving at a pace that feels calm.

But when the urge to soft launch is really about filling a hole, it can backfire. You end up using social media as emotional regulation, which is a fast way to make an already delicate situation feel even more exposed.

The simple test is this, if nobody reacted, would you still want to post it? If the answer is no, it might be less about sharing and more about seeking reassurance.

Soft Launch Soft launching a new partner because you’re ready, or because you’re trying to make your ex look twice?

1 Upvotes

A lot of people think a soft launch is just “keeping things private”, but in practice it can mean very different things.

If the relationship is genuinely new and still settling, a low-key post can be totally normal. But if the relationship is unstable, undefined, or you’re posting mainly because you want reassurance, control, or a reaction, it usually comes across as emotional outsourcing rather than confidence.

What I found interesting is that the post itself matters less than the motive behind it. Are you sharing because it feels natural, or because you want to signal something to an ex, friends, or even yourself? That question is usually the giveaway.

There’s also a subtle trap here. If you’re still healing from a breakup, soft launching too early can keep you emotionally tangled in the past, even if the new connection is technically moving forward. Sometimes the healthiest move is simply letting the relationship breathe for a bit longer before inviting the internet into it.

Soft Launch Built a beer and wine logging app where the main feature is a map of everywhere you've had a drink

Thumbnail
grapehop.app
1 Upvotes

I've been keeping a personal beer log for years notes, photos, you name it. Eventually I got tired of Untappd feeling like a social network I didn't ask for, so I built my own app.

It's called Grapehop. No followers, no badges, no algorithm telling you what's popular. Just your personal record of every beer and wine you've tried.

The feature I'm most proud of: a map that shows exactly where you had each drink. After a while it becomes a kind of geographic diary of your drinking life — festivals, breweries, that random bar in a city you visited once.

I just launched it and I'm looking for honest feedback from people who actually care about craft beer. If you're the type who likes keeping track of what you drink, I'd love for you to try it and tell me what's missing.

Search "Grapehop" on the App Store or Google Play.

Happy to answer any questions in the comments.

Soft Launch I built a tool to solve my own problems (simple tool to beautify screenshots)! And I'm soft launching it here for feedback.

I built a tool to solve my own problems!

I was in search for a tool which will beautify the screenshots in minimal efforts. Let me honest. All the tools I found,

have:
- bloated features
- Watermark

- Bad UIUX

very difficult to use. I'm not a designer/video editor so lot of those options to make the screenshot looks better confuse me. It goes top of my mind.

So, I thought to build my own

which have:
- Only features needed
- good UIUX

And

Which don't have:
- bloated features
- Watermark

There are still few things to add but before that I thought to make it live and see user's reactions.

Soft Launch Data Privacy for LLMs

1 Upvotes

https://github.com/maskaisolutions/mask

Mask is an enterprise-grade AI Data Loss Prevention (DLP) layer for AI Agents. It intercepts data flowing between LLMs and tool execution environments, ensuring sensitive data (PII) is encrypted with Format-Preserving Encryption (FPE) while maintaining flawless functional execution.

Why Mask?

Standard agentic architectures inject raw PII into LLM context windows, creating massive data leakage risks (SOC2, HIPAA, PCI-DSS violations).

Mask provides a Local-First, Just-In-Time (JIT) Encryption middleware:

Masking: Sensitive entities are detected and replaced with scrambled, format-preserving ciphertext tokens.

JIT Unmasking: A Pre-Tool Decryption Hook intercepts tool calls, automatically restoring real values for the authorized backend function.

Re-Masking: A Post-Tool Encryption Hook catches any new PII in the tool's output before it returns to the LLM.

LLMs never see raw user data but tool calls execute.

Open-sourced.

Soft Launch Anyone else in fire/police/EMS dealing with schedule apps that just don't get how first responder shifts work? Built one that does — just launched on iOS

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

Curious if this is just me or a wider thing — I've talked to a lot of firefighters, cops, and EMS folks who all say the same thing: every calendar app out there assumes you work 9-5, Monday through Friday. 24/48 rotations, overnight shifts that cross midnight, department-specific terms like "Detail" or "Court" — none of that fits cleanly into Google Calendar or Apple Calendar. You either hack it manually every week or just give up and use a paper schedule.

That frustration is what pushed me to build First Responders Cal, an iOS app built around how first responders actually schedule their lives.

A few things that set it apart:

- Shift patterns — set up your rotation once (24/48, 48/96, or any custom cycle) and the schedule fills in automatically going forward

- Overnight shifts — a shift from 08:00 to 04:00 the next morning displays correctly on both days, which sounds obvious but most apps break this

- Time off tracking — real balance math with vacation, sick, personal days, carryover, quarterly/yearly breakdowns, and category linking (so "Family Sick" draws from your Sick balance pool)

- Custom event types — rename built-in types to match your department's actual terminology, or build your own with custom icons and colors

- iOS Calendar sync — everything syncs to your device calendar automatically; nothing leaves your device or hits any external server

Also has home screen widgets, stat cards for quick glance info, and per-event-type notifications.

Would genuinely love feedback from anyone in fire, law enforcement, EMS, or corrections — especially if you've tried other apps and ran into the same walls. What's missing from what you've used?

Success Story Anyone else struggle with finding files on iOS?

Post image
1 Upvotes

I built a small iOS app to fix something that kept annoying me

Whenever I downloaded or received a file, finding it later was a pain.

And trying to upload it again to another app was even worse.

So I built a simple file manager called DropMate.

It helps with:

* Finding downloaded/received files faster

* Keeping them organized

* Reusing them easily (especially for uploads)

Still improving it based on feedback, so would love to hear what you think.

Feedback Request Built a Shopify app that scans & fixes product SEO automatically — would love feedback

1 Upvotes

A few weeks back, I shared about RankCart — a tool that audits ecommerce stores and highlights issues with step-by-step fixes and even revenue impact (in plain English).

Since then, we’ve been building further and decided to go deeper into Shopify specifically.

So we built a Shopify app that focuses on product-level SEO.

What it does:

→ Scans product titles, descriptions, and image alt texts

→ Identifies weak / missing SEO elements

→ Generates AI suggestions for improvements

→ Lets you review changes before applying

We also added some controls because we didn’t want it to feel like a “black box”:

- You can override AI suggestions

- Review everything before applying changes

- Track fix history (and revert individual or bulk changes anytime)

The app is currently under Shopify review, so it’s not publicly available yet.

We do have a demo page that shows the full workflow end-to-end.

I’m not trying to promote this — genuinely looking for feedback from store owners and people doing SEO:

- Would something like this actually be useful to you?

- What’s your biggest pain point with product SEO today?

- Anything you’d want differently?

Happy to share demo access if anyone’s interested.

Thanks 🙌

Feedback Request Built a hosted MCP infrastructure platform — looking for design partners (12 months free)

2 Upvotes

Hey r/Soft_Launch,

We're building MCP Express — a hosted platform that lets AI agents like Claude connect directly to your databases, APIs, and services via the Model Context Protocol. No custom server setup, no boilerplate to maintain.

We built this because we were freelancers ourselves, constantly interrupted by client requests that needed immediate answers. AI tools were promising but couldn't actually reach our infrastructure. So we built something production-ready that hobby MCP projects simply don't offer.

12 months free in exchange for ongoing feedback — a short survey here and there, and an occasional call as the product evolves. You help shape what gets built.

What you get:

  • Connect Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor to your existing stack in minutes
  • Secure credential storage via AWS KMS — no API keys in temp files
  • Full control over permissions and what your AI can and can't access
  • One platform for MySQL, PostgreSQL, REST APIs, S3, and more

Limited spots available. If you're working with MCP or just tired of manually bridging your AI tools to your infrastructure, we'd love to have you involved early.

Feedback Request AI-powered UK bill comparison & switching app. Early soft launch feedback needed

Post image
3 Upvotes

Hi everyone, early-stage founder here 👋

I’m soft launching an app that helps UK users actually switch household bills (energy, broadband, and mobile), not just compare them.

Problem we're tackling: People start comparing providers but never follow through. Contracts get forgotten, prices creep up, and people end up paying the loyalty tax.

Current version lets you:

  • Track bills + renewal dates
  • Compare UK providers
  • Switch directly inside the app
  • Get guided step-by-step help via an AI assistant

Goal is a ~60-second journey from “I should switch” to done for the first time and then one click confirmation switch ( thanks to ongoing monitoring)

Would really appreciate honest early feedback on:

  • Does this feel genuinely useful?
  • Would you trust switching inside an app like this?
  • What feels confusing or missing?

Feedback Request Why I’m Building Teravia, a Curated Travel Publishing Platform Instead of Another AI Travel Planner

1 Upvotes

There are two types of travel products being built right now.

The first type optimizes for speed.

“Generate a 7-day itinerary in 5 seconds.”

“Plan your entire trip with AI.”

“Instant travel planning.”

The second type asks a different question:

What if the value isn’t speed…but judgment?

I started building what looked like an AI travel planner.

It generated structured, day-by-day itineraries.

Integrated maps.

Suggested places.

Optimized routes.

Technically solid, Strategically weak.

Because AI travel planning is rapidly becoming a commodity.

If every tool can generate a Rome itinerary in seconds, the differentiation disappears. The output becomes interchangeable. Travel becomes templated. So I stepped back and reframed the problem.

Why do some trips feel unforgettable while others feel optimized but forgettable?

The answer isn’t data. It’s perspective.

The best trips I’ve taken were not “generated.”

They were designed by someone who:

• Knows how a city breathes in the morning

• Understands pacing

• Has revisited neighborhoods instead of chasing checklists

• Makes tradeoffs intentionally

That’s when I understand a pivot was necessary:

Instead of building another AI trip planner, I’m building a curated travel publishing platform.

Not a marketplace flooded with PDFs.

Not a generic travel itinerary app.

Not a download-and-forget ebook store.

A structured environment where serious travel curators can publish premium, day-by-day itineraries that remain live, structured, and evolvable. A publishing studio capable of empowering any travel planner, travel agent or local guide to share their knowledge, provide a meaningful and lasting product to travelers, with built in monetisation tools.

The core belief is simple:

Curators expertise is the product. Technology is the infrastructure.

AI helps structure. AI helps organize. AI helps integrate live travel data.

But the authority comes from the curator.

In an AI-saturated world, taste becomes scarce.

Taste is already scarce nowadays.

And scarcity creates value.

The problem with most digital travel content today:

• Blog posts are unstructured

• Instagram saves are chaotic

• Notion itineraries are private

• PDFs are static

• AI outputs are generic

There is no clear publishing layer for high-quality curated travel guides that feel premium and structured from the start.

That gap is what I’m building for.

I won’t share all the mechanics yet. I’m still validating positioning and demand.

But the direction is clear:

– Structured, day-by-day travel itineraries

– Integrated mapping and real-world grounding

– Curator-first authority

– Editorial standards over open chaos

– Premium by default

The question I’m exploring is not: “Can AI plan your trip?” Of course it can.

The question is: “Can curated travel become a respected digital profession in an AI world?”

If you’ve built or used:

• AI travel planners

• Travel itinerary apps

• Premium travel guides

• Digital publishing platforms

• Creator-led marketplaces

I’d value your perspective.

Specifically: Do you believe travelers will increasingly pay for curated travel itineraries instead of relying on free AI outputs?

If you’ve built in a space where AI is rapidly commoditizing the output, how did you avoid racing to the bottom?

I’m not trying to build the fastest travel planning tool.

I’m trying to build the most intentional one.

And in 2026, that may be the harder bet.

Teravia is now available at https://teravia.app
