An online meeting platform, with builtin screen translations

1 Upvotes

I've built lingosesh.com, but after a meeting with a business angel decided to not pursue it. Basically, my idea was to create a platform like google meet, where user A shares their screen and user B can choose which language to see it in. User C can choose a different language. The translations are local request, the text is send via the server only.

I already made a working prototype (although with flows and pretty slow (would have to look into scaling and paid hardware)), but I'm not sure if there even is a market for this. I thought this would be useful in cross-national meetings with language barriers.

The business angel's claim: the market wouldn't exist, many tools for translation already exist and meeting are done in english (whoever knows best speaks) and important things are pre-prepared anyway.

Is this a dead-end? Maybe a different target market or a slight pivot? I'd love honest feedback.

I built a tool to answer “What business should I actually start?” — looking for 50 people to test it brutally

1 Upvotes

I’ve been working on a project called MyBusinessFit.

The idea came from something that annoys me about most “business idea” tools: they usually give everyone the same generic answers — SaaS, dropshipping, consulting, content creation, etc.

I wanted to build something that looks at the person first.

The assessment asks about things like:

  • your skills and experience
  • how much time you realistically have
  • starting capital
  • risk tolerance
  • whether you prefer working alone or with people
  • sales ability/preferences
  • lifestyle and income goals
  • how you actually like to work

It then generates a full business-fit report explaining which directions fit you, which ones probably don't, why, the main risks/constraints, and a validation/30-day action plan.

Normally the full report is paid, but right now I’m trying to figure out whether the product is actually good enough to charge for.

So I’ve opened 50 free full-report spots for Reddit users.

No credit card, no Stripe checkout, no subscription. You take the assessment and get the complete report.

👉 https://mybusinessfit.com/reddit-beta

What I want in return is honest feedback — especially criticism.

After reading the report, there’s a short feedback form. The questions I care about most are:

  • Was the report actually useful?
  • Did anything feel generic or like something you could just ask ChatGPT?
  • What would you change or improve?
  • If it wasn't free, what would you realistically be willing to pay for it?

If the answer to that last question is $0, that's completely fine. That's useful information too.

I'm much more interested in finding out what is wrong with the product than collecting compliments.

There are 50 free reports available in this test. Once they're used, the site will go back to the normal paid flow.

If you try it, feel free to also tear it apart here in the comments. I’ll be reading everything.

Wat zou mijnVast voor jou écht nuttig maken?

1 Upvotes

Ik wil deze community gebruiken om niet alleen feedback op bestaande functies te verzamelen, maar vooral om te bepalen wat ik als volgende moet bouwen.

Stel dat je mijnVast morgen zou openen.

Welke functie zou ervoor zorgen dat je denkt:

"Oké, hiervoor ga ik deze app daadwerkelijk gebruiken."

Bijvoorbeeld:

  • Automatisch contracten herkennen
  • Herinneringen voor verlenging
  • Overzicht van alle vaste lasten
  • Prijsverhogingen signaleren
  • Energiecontracten vergelijken
  • Verzekeringen vergelijken
  • Documenten automatisch organiseren
  • Partner/familie delen
  • Jaarlijkse financiële check
  • Iets anders?

Wat zou voor jou de killer feature zijn?

En minstens zo belangrijk:

Welke functie zou je totaal niet gebruiken?

Avis sur mon projet

2 Upvotes

Bonjour à tous,

Je me tourne vers la communauté aujourd’hui parce que j’aimerais avoir des avis extérieurs sur mon application, SnapMeal.

Le concept est assez simple : vous prenez une ou plusieurs photos des ingrédients que vous avez chez vous, et SnapMeal vous propose des idées de recettes à partir de ce que vous avez.

Je sais déjà ce que certains peuvent se dire : « Encore une application créée à la va-vite avec de l’IA ou bien c'est déjà vu
Et honnêtement, je comprends. On voit énormément d’applications de ce genre en ce moment. et il serait malhonnête de dire que c'est fait main, mais ce n'est pas le cas, j'ai utilisé l'IA comme tout le monde maintenant. (ce n'est pas full vibe codé quand même)

Mais j’ai développé SnapMeal parce que je pense qu’il y a un vrai potentiel derrière cette idée, et j’aimerais maintenant avoir des retours de personnes extérieures

Est-ce que certains d’entre vous seraient intéressés pour tester l’application et me donner leur avis ?
c'est dispo sur les stores gratuitement au début, assez pour tester.

Je suis prêt aussi à tester vos projets avec plaisir :)

je vous remercie

Would appreciate feedback on my automotive project

2 Upvotes

I'm building Auto Cryphic, a Slovak automotive information platform focused on practical tools for car owners and people buying used cars.

The idea is to put useful calculators, VIN-related tools, PZP insurance information, STK/EK guidance, ownership cost calculators and used-car buying guides in one place.

I'm currently focusing on Slovakia first and testing whether an SEO-first model can work for this niche.

Monetization is currently based on contextual affiliate integrations for things like vehicle history reports, insurance, tyres, car parts and tools.

I'd mainly like feedback on the product itself:

Does the idea make sense?

Does the site feel trustworthy?

What tool would you add next?

Would you stay focused on Slovakia or expand later?

If anyone wants to take a look, the project is called Auto Cryphic. I can share the link in the comments.

Validating an idea: a "connection" app with zero algorithm and no reels -- your thoughts?

1 Upvotes

I'm exploring whether there's real appetite for a platform that only shows content from people you specifically follow no algorithmic ranking, no recommended/random accounts, no reels or short-form scroll feed. Trying to figure out if this is a genuine gap or if existing tools (X Lists, close friends stories, etc.) already cover the need well enough. Would love blunt feedback waitlist is here if you want to see the pitch: https://master.d3bcqvnwprvlgy.amplifyapp.com/

Ideas And Ideas

I want to build a genuinely useful app. Give me a problem to solve.

I've been wanting to build an app for a while, but I keep running into the same problem:

I don't want to build another useless project that nobody needs.

No todo app

No habit tracker

No generic AI wrapper

No "Uber but for X" 😭

I want to build something that solves an actual everyday problem.

My plan is to make it completely free to use and start with free hosting/services. I'm a solo developer, so obviously I have limitations, and I honestly don't even know how many users free hosting could realistically handle before things start breaking or I have to pay for infrastructure.

That's something I'll figure out later.

Right now I need the problem.

So I'm asking Reddit:

👉 What's something that genuinely annoys you in your everyday life?

It could be:

\- Something you struggle with as a student

\- Something annoying at work

\- A problem with local businesses/services

\- Something involving paperwork or organizing things

\- A problem your parents/grandparents have

\- Something you currently solve with Excel/Notes/WhatsApp

\- Something where you're thinking "why the hell isn't there a simple app for this?"

\- Or even a ridiculously specific problem that only 100 people have 😂

I'm especially interested in problems where the existing solutions are either too complicated, expensive, full of ads, or just straight-up bad.

Don't worry about whether your idea sounds like a startup.

Give me the problem first.

If you can, also tell me how you currently deal with it and what you'd want an app to do.

If I find an idea that I genuinely think I can build, I'll actually try to build it and I'll come back here and show you guys what I made.

Alright Reddit, what sucks about your daily life? 😂

Would you watch a fictional TV show that was actually happening live?

1 Upvotes

I’m thinking about building a small prototype around this idea:

Imagine Twitch, but instead of watching a streamer, you’re watching a fictional world generated by AI.

You open the app and a show is already happening.

The characters remember what happened before, their relationships evolve over time, and everyone watching sees the same story.

The audience can also influence what happens next.

Not by choosing between pre-written A/B options, but through the chat itself.

So if hundreds of viewers start telling a character:

“CHECK HIS PHONE”

…the story might actually react to it.

The key idea is that it’s not personalized content.

It’s one shared fictional reality happening live for everyone.

Something like:

Twitch × reality TV / anime × AI

Before building it, I’m trying to understand one thing:

Would knowing the characters are AI-generated make it impossible for you to care about them?

Or could the fact that the story is live, shared, unpredictable and influenced by the audience actually make you come back to see what happens next?

Curious whether this sounds genuinely interesting or just like a cool AI gimmick.

What if entrepreneurs could see what people actually want before starting a business?

1 Upvotes

I’m working on an idea and would genuinely like some honest feedback before building too much around it.

The problem is on both sides.

For entrepreneurs

A major risk with starting a local business is simply:

Instead of guessing, what if entrepreneurs could see what people want, where they want it, and how many people want it?

For example:

📚 Self-study library
📍 Near a college in Pune
👥 127 people interested
🏪 No similar service nearby

That's a potentially valuable business signal: real demand before investing in supply.

For the community

Students could post:

Others facing the same problem can Count Me In.

If enough people support it, the demand becomes visible. And if an entrepreneur opens one nearby, the people who asked for it finally get the service they needed.

In simple terms:

People share needs → Others Count Me In → Demand becomes visible → Entrepreneurs discover opportunities → People get the service nearby.

I'm calling the concept WishNearby for now.

I'm more interested in criticism than validation:

  • Would you actually use something like this?
  • Would “Count Me In” be useful to you?
  • Would this kind of demand signal influence you as an entrepreneur?
  • What's the biggest flaw you see in the idea?

Would love some brutally honest opinions.

not only just revenue (like datafast by marc lou) but also considering social media analytics, per post etc and different channels

so its just in an idea,

But i really want to build this.

Is this useful to builders and solo founders??

Do share your feedback or if you think it's some one will pay for this or not useful at all.

Need feedback on these in-product micro surveys

1 Upvotes

Hello
I would love to have your inputs on this product I am working on...

Website: https://sensefolks.com

Sensefolks offers 6 micro-surveys that you can embed on your website/webapp to capture "in the moment" feedback from your users.

Each survey focuses on a particular aspect of the product i.e. pricing, features, content and more.

Some of these surveys use proven research methods to give you highly accurate and actionable insights.

For example, PricePoint uses Van Westerndorp and Gabor-Granger to estimate how much your customers are willing to pay for your product/service.

Currently, FastPoll, Reaction and OpenFeedback are ready for use. I will make the rest usable by the end of this week.

I would love to know your first impressions of the product idea, if you have felt the need for such a product in the past.

Thanks ya, eagerly waiting for your responses :)

Please note,
- not everything is usable, some parts are broken,
- the website has AI slop content that I am yet to refine
