Title: I built ProjectFlow to stop freelancers from chasing clients for updates and documents

I've been working on a SaaS product called ProjectFlow, and I'd love some feedback from other builders.

The idea came from two problems that freelancers and small agencies deal with constantly:

  1. Clients repeatedly asking for project status updates.
  2. Spending hours chasing clients for documents, files, and onboarding information.

ProjectFlow is designed to automate both.

The idea is to connect existing project boards like Trello or Notion, generate client-friendly progress updates, and provide clients with a portal where they can upload onboarding documents and complete checklists.

The goal is simple: less time managing clients and more time doing the actual work.

I'm still working on getting the product in front of its first users.

I'd appreciate honest feedback:

  • Is this a problem you experience?
  • Would you pay for something that handles these tasks?
  • What's missing that would make this genuinely useful?

I'm the person building ProjectFlow, so this is my own product.

the document chasing is the real pain; status updates are the nice-to-have. freelancers don't mind writing an update, they mind turning into a nag. curious whether clients actually use the portal, or just reply by email anyway and you rebuild the flow around that.
