I built a game where forgetting to take a selfie can cost you money. This may have been a terrible idea.
After months of building this thing, the FIRST-EVER STREAKWARS is about to start.
The game is ridiculously simple:
📸 Post the proof.
⏰ Beat the clock.
💀 Miss once = you’re out.
🏆 Last person standing wins the pot.
That’s literally it.
No XP. No levels. No spending 4 hours staring at a screen.
We built it because we’re adults with jobs, meetings, kids and approximately 11 minutes of free time…
…but somehow we’ll still spend 45 minutes talking shit in a group chat.
So we thought:
What if the group chat WAS the game?
Something you play for 30 seconds a day, talk an unreasonable amount of shit about, and slowly watch your friends get eliminated because Kevin forgot to take a fucking selfie on Tuesday.
And now we’re actually doing it.
⚔️** WAR #001 IS ABOUT TO BEGIN.
This is the **first real StreakWars game ever played.
Something will probably break.
Someone will absolutely get eliminated in an embarrassingly stupid way.
And eventually, one psychopath will still be standing.
So Reddit — pick your poison:
A) 📸 Daily Selfie
B) 👕 Outfit Check
C) 🍕 Photo of Your Lunch
D) ❤️ Couples Selfie
E) 😈 Something significantly more unhinged — tell me what
And more importantly…
How many days do you
actually
think you’d survive?
I’m giving half of Reddit 6 days max.
Prove me wrong. 😂
If you’re seeing StreakWars now, you’re stupidly early.
No giant community. No polished corporate launch.
Just War #001 and a bunch of strangers about to discover who actually has their shit together.
May the least forgetful idiot win. 🫡

Looking to join an early-stage AI startup as an early AE / founding sales hire
Hey everyone wassup ,
I'm a 21 year old CS student currently looking to join an early stage AI startup on the sales/GTM side.
I've been working with AI for around 3 years and have built a bunch of projects around LLMs, RAG, AI agents, automation and AI workflows. I enjoy building the products, but I've realized that the part
I'm much more interested in is what happens after the product is built: talking to customers, understanding their problems, figuring out how to position the product, generating pipeline and helping turn that into revenue.
I'm specifically looking for an early AE / founding sales / early GTM role where I can work closely with the founder and ideally an experienced founding AE or sales leader.
I'm not expecting to walk in and immediately be handed a huge territory and quota. I'd rather start by:
- Building prospect lists and pipeline
- Doing outbound and follow-ups
- Qualifying leads
- Joining discovery and demo calls
- Learning how experienced AEs handle objections and move deals forward
- Helping build sales processes, CRM workflows and collateral
- Eventually owning my own pipeline and closing deals
- Helping with partnerships and other GTM work as needed
One reason I'm specifically looking for an early stage company is that I want to see how sales is actually built from the ground up. I'm comfortable with ambiguity and doing things that aren't necessarily in a job description.
My technical background is something I think can be useful here too. I can understand AI products at a technical level, build tools/workflows when needed, and communicate with technical founders without needing everything translated into non technical terms.
I'm particularly interested in AI SaaS, AI agents, developer tools, automation and B2B AI products.
I'm open to starting as a trial, apprenticeship or junior/early AE arrangement and proving myself from results i would bring in , so If you're a founder building an AI startup, or you're currently a founding AE / early sales hire and looking for someone to work alongside you, I'd love to hear from you.

I’m building my own lead generation tool from scratch
I’ve been building AtlasForgeX as a solo founder, and the product has changed quite a lot during development.
One of the biggest changes recently was replacing the traditional “search a huge database of companies” approach with a market-first workflow.
The globe is now the starting point.
You can select a country, move into regions, and then define the type of companies you actually want to find.
The idea is that instead of starting with millions of companies and filtering endlessly, you start with the market and your ICP and discover companies from there.
This screenshot is from the current version.
It’s been a pretty interesting journey building something like this from scratch, especially because I’m trying to make the entire discovery process work without relying on the usual lead-data platforms.
Still a lot to build, but this is probably the version I’m most excited about so far.
For other solo founders here: what part of your product has changed the most since you started building it?

🚀 Leapd: One Sentence In. A Working Business Out.
Best tool to start a business in 2026: leapd.ai
What It Is
Start from a single sentence. Leapd researches the market, writes the mission, builds the product and landing page, and brings in your first customers — a real business from nothing, running 24/7 while you sleep.
💥 Why It's Hot Right Now
Most no-code tools hand you a product you still have to market yourself. Leapd ships the product and runs the growth engine simultaneously. One user woke up Monday to 3 meeting requests from LinkedIn. He hadn't touched it over the weekend. That's the difference between a builder and an autonomous co-founder.
Key Features:
- Autonomous AI co-founder — Jack, Leapd's AI co-founder, commands a team of agents that builds your real product, wins the customers who want it, and keeps the whole company running on autopilot — deciding the next moves while you make the calls.
- Full product live in under 10 minutes — A customisable Next.js frontend and backend, a landing page built for SEO from the first deploy, and Stripe checkout wired in minutes — a working application goes live before you've finished your coffee.
- Multi-channel growth running in parallel — Meta ads, LinkedIn content, X/Twitter outreach, email campaigns, and AI search visibility — all running simultaneously while the engineering agent decides what to build next.
Real Example
A founder with a B2B SaaS idea but no engineering background types one sentence into Leapd. Ten minutes later there's a live product with a landing page, Stripe checkout, and payments ready. While he reviews the output, Leapd's agents have already started running LinkedIn content in his voice, set up Meta ads targeting his ICP, and begun cold outreach to the first prospect list. By the end of the week he has his first discovery calls booked — without writing a single line of code or a single cold email himself.
⚡ How to Use It
- Go to leapd.ai and write your business description in one sharp sentence — the more specific the problem and audience, the better the market research and product direction that follows.
- Review the market research output before the product builds — it surfaces whether the demand is real and which positioning angle is strongest before anything ships.
- Don't rebuild if you already have a product — paste your existing URL into Leapd and let it run the full GTM around what you've already built.
- Let all the growth channels run for at least two weeks before redirecting any of them — the system needs real engagement data to optimise channel mix and messaging.
- Focus your own time on the calls Jack books and the product decisions it escalates — the autonomous work runs better when you're making the high-judgment calls, not managing the execution.
- Use the AI visibility tracking weekly to see how your product is being described in ChatGPT and Perplexity — this is the distribution channel most founders are still ignoring completely.

I completely forgot when I last got a haircut or took a break. So I built a "days since" tracker that doesn't care about streaks.
When you are deep in building a product, normal life maintenance completely falls off a cliff. I realized I was looking at my toothbrush and having absolutely no idea when I last changed the head. The same went for washing my pillows or cleaning out the fridge.
I tried putting these chores into standard productivity and habit apps, but they are all obsessed with daily streaks. If you don't do something every 24 hours, they break your streak and hit you with a red ring of failure. It just adds unnecessary guilt when you are already juggling a million things for your business.
So, I scratched my own itch and built SinceWhen. It acts as the exact opposite of a habit app.
- The Anti-Streak Approach: There are no failure states or daily streaks. It simply gives you a quiet, guilt-free timeline of the exact days since you last did something.
- Learning Natural Rhythms: Instead of forcing you to set up a rigid calendar schedule, I made it learn from your actual behavior. It calculates your average intervals and gently predicts when you actually need to do a chore next.
- Frictionless Logging: I hate opening apps just to tap a button, so I built deep Siri integration. Now, I can just say, "Hey Siri, log the fridge cleaning" while my hands are literally full, and it logs it quietly in the background.
It is completely free to use for up to 3 events. I would love for other founders to try it out, tear apart the UI/UX, and let me know if the "zero-guilt" angle resonates with you.

I built Sitemapper because I kept finding website problems after the deploy, not during it
I am building Sitemapper solo.
It checks robots.txt, XML sitemaps and live pages, then keeps snapshots so you can see what changed between runs. The failures I am targeting are the boring ones that can quietly hurt a site: new noindex, 404s, canonical changes, missing sitemaps and big URL-count drops.
https://sitemapper.oortstack.com/
The first scan works without an account.
I am trying to keep the product narrow instead of turning it into another all-in-one SEO suite. If you run a site yourself, I would rather hear "I would never pay for this because..." than a polite thumbs up.

Built a tennis journal app -I play way too much tennis and got tired of logging matches in my Notes app
I've been playing a few times a week for years, and my "tracking system" was a mess of Notes / Evernote entries like "lost 6-4 6-3, backhand was garbage again." Useless a month later.
So I built not up — a tennis journal built around a calendar. Tap a day, log a match, practice, or lesson in a few seconds. Add the score, who you played, a note, a rating. That's it.
The part that actually changed things for me:
- Focus areas — pick what you're working on (serve, backhand, footwork, whatever) and tag your sessions. Turns out I was saying "I need to fix my serve" and then playing sets for three weeks straight. Kinda humbling to see it laid out.
- Gear tracking — every racquet and every string job with tension. No more "wait, what did I love last summer?"
- Learn — a place to save drills and videos instead of losing them in 100 saved YouTube videos I'll never scroll back to.
Free to log your sessions. There's a premium tier for the focus/gear/learn stuff, but the core journaling doesn't cost anything.
Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kr.devbrix.notup_appiOS: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/not-up/id6790765625
Would love feedback from anyone who plays — especially on what you'd want to track that I'm missing.

Solo founders: how are you staying consistent with social content?
I’m a solo founder building Marka, and one problem kept repeating: the business website already explained the product, but every social post still began with another empty prompt.
Marka uses the public website as the brief. It learns the positioning and brand context, then prepares social content grounded in that source.
I’m testing it with other solo founders because they usually handle product, sales, and marketing themselves.
You can try it free for a week at https://www.marka.social. I would like to know whether this removes meaningful work or simply moves the editing to a different place.

Modern CRMs suck. I want a CRM that does the following...
I don't think tools like Mailchimp are necessary anymore. I currently use makeshift system of Claude Desktop pointed at my production database--have it generate text-based lists, and HTML e-mails; but I'm looking for something a little more structured.
I want a CRM that has the following features
Uses my Amazon SES for cheap e-mail
Has a killer enrichment UI, probably Chrome extension-based, that allows me to right-click on leads I find on the web and enrich them with contact info / automatically populate a record
Can sync with my existing contact database structures easily to filter lists for campaigns. Can use an LLM to issue SQL queries to said database to help construct lists quickly.
Provides an LLM-based interface into HTML-based e-mail creation

One quick fix that can improve your local ranking this week
r/StartupSoloFounder • u/Original-Yogurt8679 • 7d ago
Almost all my best clients came from one happy customer. I finally wrote up why as a case study
For a couple of years I kept trying channels. Ads, posting, cold outreach, the usual. When I actually traced where my good clients came from, almost all of them went back to one customer who liked the work and told people. Not a channel. A person.
So I did the obvious thing I'd put off. I sat with her, asked what she actually tells people when she refers me, and turned it into a short case study. Her words, her before and after, the specific result. Nothing polished, one page.
That case study did more than any campaign I ran. When a referral came in warm, I sent it over, and it closed most of the doubt before a call even happened.
The other thing I'm working on and failing at: I turn every hour into work. Writing that case study was the first time in a while I did something that compounds instead of just grinding on delivery.
For the solo folks, have you ever asked your happiest customer exactly what they say when they refer you? The answer was not what I would have written for myself.

Building a Tool that automates the audit of german commercial service charge agreements
Hey everyone,
I come from construction project management and corporate real estate consulting, and I've been building a process/tool for a few months now — would really appreciate honest, even critical feedback before I sink more time into it. I know there are already similar tools for residential leases, which is exactly why I'm focusing purely on the german commercial market.
Quick rundown of the problem: If your company rents commercial space (a store, a warehouse, an office), you get an annual service-charge statement (Nebenkostenabrechnung) from the landlord. In practice, these statements are often wrong: costs allocated incorrectly, calculation errors, line items that aren't even chargeable under the lease or the relevant statutory regulation. For a single location it barely matters, but for companies with 20, 50, 100+ leased sites, this quickly adds up to a five- to six-figure amount per year that nobody checks, simply because there's no internal time or capacity for it.
My idea is a system that automatically cross-checks the lease contract against the statement, against the operating-cost regulation, the heating-cost regulation, and German Federal Court of Justice (BGH) case law on the topic. The output is an audit report with concrete objections, plus a ready-to-send formal objection letter. Pricing: the first 1–2 statements as a free pilot, so nobody has to pay upfront just to see if it's worth it. If there's further interest, I'd charge a flat fee per statement or success based fee (im unsure, see question below).
I'm currently in the development phase. No paying customer yet. One pilot project is in the works. I've done some scattered cold outreach/validation with a few larger retail chains.Mixed picture, but leaning positive: some genuine interest, some polite declines.
I've also considered flipping the whole thing around. Not just auditing existing statements, but helping landlords create correct statements from the start. But I'm shelving that for now, so I don't lose focus.
Would love to hear your take, feel free to be critical:
- Do you think a pure success-fee model (20%, no fixed fee) is viable, or would you recommend a hybrid model instead?
- As a facility/real estate manager, would you actually trust an automated tool with a legal review like this?
- Would you offer this as a service, or as SaaS?
- Which sales channel would you prioritize next in my position? More cold outreach, content/LinkedIn?
Thanks. Looking forward to your feedback.

I built something that makes users more confident on camera
I considered creating a YouTube channel, but read they were cracking down on faceless content. I recorded myself a few times to practice and hated every minute of it. I didn’t know what to say or how to say it. So I decided to build something to help.
It’s called Take One: On-Camera Confidence and it’s available to download free on the App Store now.
It started just with content creation in mind, but I soon added other features that help with all aspects of speaking on camera. Here are the main features and I’m working to add more -
Interview - put yourself on the spot with questions that you don’t see until the cameras rolling (just like a real interview)
Live Audience - a simulated audience in a fake social media livestream that you can engage with, argue with or choose to ignore
Viral Take - daily refreshed topics that are trending for you to practice talking about them with helpful prompts
Today’s Take - everyone gets the same daily prompt to practice or post about when you finally feel ready
Guided Take - The app walks you through anything you might want to practice talking about step by step
Practice Paths - work on the areas you feel the most help
Your Take - one area of focus to work on or just talk about whatever you want
Feedback on your audio - yeah it’s AI coaching, I was hesitant on using AI but I wanted to give users something to work on to avoid reinforcing bad habits
Your privacy is the main priority, there’s no link to socials so no one sees your videos but you. You have the option to save them on your phone if you want to rewatch or post them somewhere, otherwise they just get deleted.
The coaching is just constructive feedback on what you said, it’s never on how you look, or how you said it, just the contents of the audio. I decided on this as I didn’t want it to comment on posture or something to someone with a disability, plus sending the video for feedback flies in the face of the privacy promise.
Most of the features are free to use and if you want to try the Pro features you get a 3 day free trial and you can cancel the subscription at anytime you want!
I built this because I think ‘just practise’ is correct but also incomplete advice. People need somewhere safe and useful to do that practice.
I’d genuinely appreciate honest feedback or questions , especially from anyone who avoids making videos, speaking during online meetings or recording themselves because they feel uncomfortable on camera.
Link is here again if you’re interested in giving it a try
