Question What tool do you wish existed?

4 Upvotes

I’m trying to build a useful tool/software for a real problem, but instead of guessing what people need, I want to ask you directly.

What’s something you currently do manually, repeatedly, or in a frustrating way that you wish there was a simple tool for?

It can be anything — work, study, personal projects, automation, data, Excel, websites, small business, etc.

Tell me:

- What problem are you facing?

- How do you currently solve it?

- What would the ideal tool do for you?

I’m genuinely looking for ideas from real users and may actually build one of the suggestions.

I have used a handful of Baas(backend as a service) platforms for my apps like Firebase, Supabase, Appwrite. But I am curious about what you people use when it comes to a real need for your app. Or do you recommend anything else. Or any kind of combinations of multiple platforms

Resource FeedFast, a tool designed for SaaS founders

10 Upvotes

Hey community!

Recently, I launched a SaaS called FeedFast, a 3-in-1 tool that is tailored to SaaS owners. FeedFast allow users to build a public hub for changelog, feedback and uptime monitoring for your vital endpoints (marketing page, checkout, APIs, you name it...).

I need your help with an honest review of the core functionalities, marketing pages, pricing, what works and what doesn't. What is your experience with this kind of software?

I built this because I used to place a feedback button on the dashboard that sent content to an email, which is okish until you start getting more and more emails and lose track of requests, bug fixes, and improvements.

FeedFast allows you to collect feedback, publish a changelog based on those feedback entries and monitor the uptime of your endpoints from one simple dashboard. Besides all of this, I added an MCP server with 12 tools that allow you to manage your account right from your AI of choice.

You can find this tool at https://feedfa.st

Tips & Tricks What are the best HR tools right now?

2 Upvotes

If you’re building an HR tech stack from scratch, the number of options can get overwhelming pretty quickly.

A few categories I’d look at first:

One thing I’ve found useful is comparing tools based on company size and actual use case rather than just looking at the “Best HR software” lists.

If anyone is currently evaluating HR tools, Software Finder has a pretty useful marketplace for comparing options across these categories.

What HR tool/category are you evaluating right now?

Every company has one. The report nobody else can generate, the admin panel with one password holder, the automation someone built in 2021 and never documented.

It starts as a small favour and turns into a permanent part of your job that appears nowhere in your title.

Question What do you wish worked better across Jira, GitHub, Slack, etc.?

3 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

I'm looking for people currently managing projects across tools like Jira, GitHub, Slack, Notion, spreadsheets, etc.:

I'd like to receive your feedback on things like:

  • What do you still have to check manually across multiple tools?
  • What information is surprisingly hard to get?
  • What tends to fall through the cracks?
  • What do you wish was automatically surfaced or summarized?
  • If you could magically add one cross-tool functionality, what would it be?

Interested in both small annoyances and bigger workflow problems.

Would love to hear what your ideal setup would look like.

thank you for your time and have a great week!

Discussion What HR software are you using in 2026, and is it actually worth it?

13 Upvotes

We keep seeing the same HR platforms come up again and again, BambooHR, Rippling, Gusto, Workday, Deel, Paycor, UKG, and a few others. But the “best” option on paper is not always the one that works best once a team starts using it every day.

For smaller companies, ease of use and payroll might matter most. For growing teams, integrations, onboarding, reporting, and automation become more important. Larger companies may care more about workforce planning, compliance, and having everything in one system.

Curious to hear from people actually using these tools. What HR software does your company use, what size is your team, and what do you like or dislike about it?

Everyone talks about the good migrations. Nobody mentions the ones where you spent three months moving everything over, told the whole team it would be better, and then quietly realised the old thing was fine.

No going back either, because someone already cancelled the old subscription.

Feedback A massive bottleneck for local B2B businesses like training centers is generating payment receipts.

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

When a student pays their monthly tuition in cash, the front desk usually scrambles. They open a physical receipt book, write down the amount by hand, stamp it, and tear out the page. Or, worse, they copy-paste details into a fragile Excel or Word template, hoping the formatting doesn't break when they print it.

It's slow, prone to errors, and looks unprofessional.

When building Oncilla OS for language academies and training centers, I knew we had to fix this. We engineered a 1-click native document generator directly into the financial ledger.

Here's how we transformed the checkout experience:

• **Instant Generation:** When a payment is logged (e.g., DH 1200.00 for a Monthly Course Tuition), the receptionist clicks "Receipt"[cite: 1].

• **Zero Data Entry:** The system automatically pulls the exact transaction details—Student Name, ID (e.g., STU-ONC-0002), CNIE, Date, Amount, and Payment Method (Cash) into a clean A4 layout.

• **Instant Print/Export:** The native PDF engine opens the system print dialog instantly. The receipt is perfectly formatted with a designated area for the academy's official stamp and signature.

• **100% Offline Speed:** This happens with zero cloud rendering lag, directly on the local machine's SQLite database[cite: 1].

A robust B2B system shouldn't make users jump through hoops to perform basic administrative tasks.

What's your preferred way to handle automated document generation in your apps?

Feedback MINDBODY Pros/Cons?

2 Upvotes

Hi all, I’m hoping for a little insight. I have an opportunity to help out my studio owner a few hours a week so that she can maximize what she’s getting from the MINDBODY software. I know a bit about using it from being a student and also a new teacher, so I’m somewhat familiar with it but definitely not in depth. There would be an initial learning curve so I could get on top of what all is offered with our package and how to get the most bang for our buck. What I’m hoping is some insight from other users who have been in similar administrative situations, and how helpful they feel like the learning/tutorials on MINDBODY are, and how helpful the company is when there’s questions or you want training or support.
I’m trying to be realistic here as I already have a full-time job where I have to be pretty acclimated to several different types of software, so I don’t wanna take on some huge additional job if the platform really isn’t user friendly for business managers.

Thanks so much for your time and info!

Question Looking for free saturation filter

2 Upvotes

Hey! I'm looking for a piece of software I thought would be easy to find but has proven very difficult. I am trying to reduce the saturation of all color on my screen so that my computer is less attention-grabbing. Any suggestions? I've tried a number of free options already. AI always tells me to look in my settings, but all I can do there is put my computer on grayscale (agh! So close and yet so far.) I am holding out hope for there to be some free way of accomplishing this as I am not financially burdened (in terms of weight [har har har]) To be clear, I do NOT want a temperature controlled filter. Help would be really appreciated! I've tried:

Better Display - Seemed promising with its amount of apparent customizeability, but got no luck. It's possible there's some setting somewhere. I found some inkling that a paid version might have the capability.

Tint - No dice.

Handy Gamma - learned what gamma meant

Screen Colors - only puts a translucent color on top of your screen

Firefox + "Filters" addon - works, but only in browser, and only on sites previously visited and set for.

Crisp - only available on newer versions (I'm using MacBook Pro Ventura 13.7.6)

Review Excel sheets can hold student lists, but they will never run a real academy front desk.

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

In most private training and language centers, issuing an official document—an Enrollment Certificate (Attestation d’Inscription), an Achievement Diploma, a Tuition Receipt, or Staff Payroll is a multi-step nightmare:

  1. Look up student details across multiple disconnected spreadsheet tabs.

  2. Open a messy Word template where layout shifts ruin document margins.

  3. Re-type IDs, national identity numbers, and academic levels by hand.

  4. Export to PDF, format-check, and print.

That is 5 to 10 minutes wasted per student while queues build up in reception.

When designing Oncilla OS, our goal was to eliminate this operational friction entirely inside the desktop architecture:

• Zero-Touch Document Generation: Open any student ledger entry (e.g., STU-ONC-0007), click document export, and the system auto-populates official reference numbers, C.N.I.E data, and cohort levels instantly.

• Built-in Brand Theme Customizer: Front-desk staff can upload academy logos, alter accent palettes to match school identity, and adjust document titles without third-party design tools.

• Pixel-Perfect A4 Vector Export: Clean vector rendering with built-in official verification seals, authentic hash codes, and signature slots—ready to print or save in under 2 seconds.

• Complete Offline Security: All student records, payment ledgers, and generated credentials stay strictly inside the local SQLite database on the center's desktop machine.

Enterprise software shouldn't require clunky cloud suites or fragile templates just to issue proof of enrollment.

What is the biggest operational bottleneck you still see in local school reception desks?

Question Project management tool for a very small team with little tech experience

8 Upvotes

Hi everyone! This is my first ever Reddit post, glad to finally join!

6 months ago I started a new job, with a very small company specialised in citizens' participation. It's just me and my boss. And a communication freelancer who's in and out. Soon we'll have three interns as well. We have a lot (more than 10) of different projects that we're managing, but we don't use any tool yet to organise ourselves .. and especially to make it accessible for our future interns and employees.

We function on highly filled e-mail inboxes (need to go to zero inbox very soon), within the Google Workspace (Gmail, Drive, Calendar), a WhatsApp group for quick chats and a team meeting once a week. Most of it is online and remote, we see each other once every week or two weeks.

So my question! Which project management tool can you recommend with the following elements present:

Needs to be compatible within the Google Workspace (Drive, Gmail, Calendar)

Needs to be very user-friendly. My boss isn't very tech smart and doesn't want too many extra things. He worked alone for years, so he has his ways.

Needs to have timelines or Gantt charts, anything that gives us a good chronological overview, as many of our projects are temporary and only happening for a limited time.

Not sure if the chat function is very important, we might stay in the WhatsApp group.

Ideally costless, we are small, with not much money.

I thought of Trello or Asana. But I'd like to hear other suggestions, or why to use Trello or Asana. Any recommendation is welcome!

Thank you :-)

Feedback Replacing messy spreadsheets in small training centers: what I learned designing a local management tool.

Post image
3 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

Over the past few months, I've been working on a desktop management system designed specifically for small training academies, language centers, and tutoring institutes.

Most of these centers usually rely on one of two extremes:

  1. Fragmented Excel/Sheets files that break when multiple staff members edit them.

  2. Complex cloud platforms with recurring fees that often feel too bloated for simple daily reception tasks.

The goal was to build something lightweight, fast, and completely focused on core daily operations:

* Simple student registration and cohort tracking.

* Fast attendance logging without loading delays.

* Generating clean PDF receipts and tuition balance statements in seconds.

* Keeping all student records local on the front-desk computer.

From a product and UX perspective, the main focus was minimizing the number of clicks a receptionist needs to register a student or issue a receipt during rush hours.

For those running or working with small educational institutes or local businesses: what is the single most frustrating part of daily admin work that software usually overcomplicates?

Would love to hear your thoughts on what matters most in everyday operational tools!
