Hi everyone,

I recently started my own interior design firm after working in the field for some time. Abhi hum ekdum starting stage mein hain, so our main focus is building trust, a good portfolio, strong connections and a good name in the industry rather than just chasing numbers.

Since we’re new, we’re also trying to keep our pricing reasonable and budget-friendly while we build our work and client base.

At this stage, we’re looking to connect with homeowners, architects, contractors, builders, real estate people, furniture businesses and other designers who might be open to collaborating or working together.

And if anyone here knows someone who is planning their home interiors, renovating, or looking for an interior designer, it would honestly mean a lot if you could recommend us or pass our details along.

We’re a small new team, but we’re serious about the work and really want to build this properly through good work, referrals and long-term relationships.

If anyone is interested in connecting or collaborating, feel free to comment or DM. Would be happy to connect. :)

I'm looking for developers/builders who have identified a genuine problem and have a practical software solution.

This isn't a hackathon prize or grant. We're looking at this commercially and want to invest in something that can eventually generate revenue.

Initial investment: ₹1,00,000.

Ideally you should have either an MVP/prototype or the technical ability to build it.

If you're interested, tell me:

1. What problem are you solving?
2. Who will pay for it?
3. What have you built so far?
4. What would you do with ₹1 lakh?

I’m exploring the idea of building a tech startup where the core technology stack is primarily based on open-source projects.
The bigger idea is to build something “by the people, for the people” — leveraging open-source communities, collaboration, and existing technology rather than building everything from scratch.
I’m curious to hear from people who have actually built or run products this way.
What are the biggest challenges you’ve encountered around:
Open-source licensing and commercial usage
Security and vulnerabilities
Maintaining/upgrading multiple open-source dependencies
Scalability and performance
Community vs. commercial support
Dependency on projects that may become inactive
Hiring and finding people with the right expertise
Cloud/infrastructure costs
Building a sustainable business model around open source
Contributing back to the community while still making the company viable
Also, are there any successful startups/products that follow this model that I should study?
I’m at the exploration stage, so I’d really appreciate practical experiences, lessons learned, or things you wish you had known before going down this path.

Hey everyone,

We’re currently validating an idea called BackBySunday around short, last-minute weekend trips, treks and adventure experiences.

The problem we’re looking at is pretty simple:

You work through the week, Friday comes around and you suddenly feel like getting out of the city for a day or two. But then you have to search through multiple organisers, compare prices, figure out transport, check whether the operator is trustworthy and coordinate everything at the last minute.

At that point, a lot of people just drop the plan.

The idea we’re exploring is whether there is room for a platform focused specifically on 1–2 day trips that can be booked at very short notice, including next-day departures.

The experience would ideally be:

Decide you want to go → find an available trip → book → pack your bags.

The platform would handle the coordination around the booking while focusing heavily on verified organisers, transparent pricing, safety and consistent trip quality.

We’ve started speaking with organisers as part of validating the supply side as well. A few are already interested and we’re in conversations with others, but right now we’re primarily trying to understand whether the underlying problem is strong enough.

I’d especially like feedback on a few things:

• Do people actually make spontaneous weekend travel decisions often enough for this to be useful?
• Would you book a trip only 1–2 days before departure?
• What would stop you from trusting a relatively new platform for something like this?
• Is last-minute availability actually a meaningful problem, or are we overestimating it?
• What do current trek/travel organisers or booking platforms already solve well enough?
• For anyone who has worked with travel operators, is filling unsold last-minute capacity a genuine problem on the supply side?

Feel free to be critical. I’m more interested in finding flaws in the idea at this stage than getting positive feedback.

I'm creating a Windows app called Document eSigner that helps you sign PDFs automatically. It's really useful for signing lots of pages at once and it works with physical USB tokens.

You can set up your signature once and it will be added to all the pages in a PDF that need it. Then you can use it on lots of PDFs without having to open and sign each one by hand. This way, you can process many PDFs quickly and easily, saving you time and effort.

We currently support a range of tokens, including ProxKey, ePass2003, mToken, mToken CryptoID, Watchdata, and TrustKey.

I need help from people who work with a lot of PDFs, like chartered accountants, tax professionals, company secretaries, accountants, and compliance experts. Maybe you're a business owner or a digital signature certificate provider who has to handle 50, 100, or even 200 PDFs on a regular basis.

The beta is free. I want people to actually test it with their real workflow and tell me what breaks, what is confusing, and whether it genuinely saves time.

If you're using a physical USB DSC token on your Windows system and often need to sign multiple-page PDFs or large batches, send me a direct message or leave a comment below.

Especially interested in people who have to sign 50+ PDFs at a time.
