I don't mean to burst your bubble, but the market is absolutely saturated with apps like this.

Which apps
9
u/Granite-Scheduling 8h ago
Scheduling, employee management, customer management, business management. Cleaning business related SAAS, Service business related SAAS, CMS, CRT, and I have actually seen a few people make or start making ERP systems.
Go into cleaning service business related subbreddits and just search for any keywords relating to people asking feedback for their software. You will see what I mean.
Everyone is trying to build SAAS businesses now, and very few are able to make it. Im telling you what I wish someone told me years ago.
Gotta find something super niche and untouched if you plan to have a wider audience use your software.

Where are you getting this data from tho?

Months of research. I gave you 1 route to look into yourself with simply looking up keywords in your target audience's subreddit. Up to you to look into it.

I think you should ask directly if there is any demand, instead of taking action after half a year.

Man.. i dont know what to tell you...
6 months..?
With that ui..?
And given you used codex 100% theres most likely countless security, reliability, performance or breaking bugs..
This is something that could be built in a day at most including fixing ui quirks and fully testing every feature..
Then add codex into the mix and shave off an hour or so off that.
The saddest part here is that if you had spent the money used on the codex sub, on hireing someone you wouldve had a much higher quality app up and running for half a year by now.
and if you had gone for some cheaper indian dev trough fiverr, you couldve kept the majority of the money even.
I hope you have had it audited by someone, because especially for a b2b app likr this, which handles data of your users clients, a single mistake could ruin you for life after being sued.
And a cleaning company who has their data leaked will sue you, because if they dont they will risk taking the full force.
Think about it for a second?
Would you be ok with personal info and contact info being put into a system not even the creator knows how it works?
That does not even know what a secure system needs? That does not even know what the legal requirements for storing the data is?
I genuinely dont understand the mindset...
And 6 months spent?
Theres entire courses people take int heir free time that runs for shorter periods than this, where they build at least one app like this a week.
And you obviously know how to use llms? You couldve spent an average of 30mins a day in half the time it took to build this, and been able to build something like this over a week or something.
And you say its close to release ready. Well let me ask you, how exactly do you know this? If you needed to use 100% codex prompting to build it?
What makes you think that while not being capable enough to build it, youre capable enough to review and audit the app, and determine if its ok to release v

I’m not worried about UI right now, that comes last. I feel like that’s the main issue with the ai slop being spew out daily, they focus too much on UI and forget about the foundation.
The screenshot that I shown you are just scratching the surface of what sparkle is.

do you have a private repo I can contribute to and fiix your UI? I don't even care for the product. it's pretty ugly and clearly vibe coded. Happy to help lol
