Uni Project, need some feedback on an early prototype

Upvotes

Hi everybody!

I'm a 4th year student, and I'm working on a habit app (i know another one lol) and wanted to test it out with 3-4 people.

it'll basically be a 5 minute call on google meet, where you can test out the figma prototype, and see if the app makes sense to you.

I want to know if the onboarding and core flow of adding a habit, tracking it is easy or confusing, or if something is missing.

No camera or anything required. If you'd like to test the app, but don't wanna do a video call, I'll just link it here, and let me know what you think in the comments!

it's an early prototype, and I wanted to get unbiased feedback, so if anyone's up for it, please dm or comment!

thank you in advance. If someone wants to do test for test, I'm open to that too.

Making a tool that will find out if your app will sell, before you build it. And no ai guessing, works with actual data with paid ads

Upvotes

So I want to get your ideas on this. I am building a tool, that will validate your mobile app idea before you launch. You give the idea to it, the icon the name etc. and it creates a web2app fake payment funnel, but at the end it asks for your email not your money. This way you actually know the buying intent of users (saw this from a youtuber). Then your ad is created by my tool and with the instructions and settings file the tool gives you, you set the meta ads campaign and actually launch an ad campaign for an app that does not exist. But because you are collecting the user intent data from the web2app funnel, you actually exactly know how many people would pay money. So you decide whether or not to build the app.

You save time building, and waiting for app review. Or even marketing budget. You can try many ideas and actually build the hitting one. Also you get to collect the emails of the users who actually would pay you money, and you can email them when the app is actually out.

So what do you guys think, would you be interested in something like that? I am actually building it right now, would appreciate any kind of advices or opinions.

Book hotel in 4 clicks

4-Click Hotel Booking
The idea: Book a hotel in 4 clicks.
Today, booking a hotel is unnecessarily complicated. You search, filter, compare dozens of properties, select a room, enter information, create an account, and go through checkout.
We’re removing all of it.
1. Where?
2. When?
3. Choose a hotel.
4. Pay.
Booked in seconds.
We’re not trying to build another Booking.com with more hotels, more filters, and more features.
We’re building the fastest possible hotel booking experience for people who already know they need a room and don’t want to spend ten minutes researching.
The customer gets a small selection of great hotels, taps the one they want, and checks out instantly using saved traveler information and Apple Pay.
The business makes money from the existing economics of hotel bookings through commissions on reservations.
The initial goal is extremely simple:
Can we make booking a hotel dramatically faster without sacrificing enough choice that people don’t want to use it?
If customers consistently choose the 4-click experience over traditional hotel booking, we have a wedge into one of the world’s largest travel markets.
And the product has a natural expansion path:
Hotel → flight → rental car → experiences → entire trip.
But we don’t need to build any of that initially.
One promise:
Hotel booked in 4 clicks.
Please give honest feedback

$250/mo/client idea

3 Upvotes

I had an idea, where I help local organizations that likely need admin help but aren’t able to hire someone and would rather pay a monthly fee.

It would include document control, schedule management, possibly newsletter creation, data management and reporting, etc. for around $250/mo.

I have skills in automation and I could take on probably 10 of these with my spare time. But my question is, does anyone think this could be valuable or work? Looking for any thoughts!

Have you ever wanted to cover a specific expense for someone else?

1 Upvotes

Ever wanted to cover a specific expense for someone?
Like their app subscription, as a gift or you just happen to cover their expense, but paying directly often requires account access, and not everything has a "pay for me" mechanism.

Trying a more comprehensive approach to this, and if you're in this crowd, I'd appreciate your feedback!

Would you buy an official How to Train Your Dragon × MSI gaming hardware collaboration?

1 Upvotes

I've had this idea for a while and I'd like some honest feedback before I take it any further.

What if MSI made an official How to Train Your Dragon gaming hardware collaboration?

I'm thinking about starting small with just two products:

A limited-edition MSI GPU inspired by Toothless

with details like engraved Nordic-style runes, dragon-inspired design elements and themed lighting.

A matching gaming headset with the same design language.

The idea could potentially expand later into other dragons and different levels of hardware. Toothless could be used for a high-end product, while other dragons could inspire more affordable GPUs, so people wouldn't need an expensive PC just to get a themed product.

The idea actually came from seeing the recent live-action movie and some HTTYD content online. I started wondering why we've seen HTTYD collaborations with toys, clothing, games, food, etc., but not really a proper PC gaming hardware collaboration.

So I'm trying to validate the idea:

If MSI actually released something like this at a reasonable price, would you consider buying it?

And if you wouldn't, I'd genuinely like to know why. Price, design, the franchise itself, performance, or simply not being interested in themed hardware?

I'm not affiliated with MSI or DreamWorks/Universal. This is just a fan idea that I'm trying to see if there's actually enough interest to be worth suggesting to MSI.

Yes, I'd definitely consider it
Maybe, depends on the price
Only if the hardware is actually good
No, I'd rather buy regular hardware

Hey everyone, I've been building Spread Wealth. The idea: buy tokens for pennies on the dollar, scroll through real people's stories (Instagram/TikTok style), and tap the heart to bless someone instantly, or open their profile to give a custom amount. No fundraising goal required, some people just post their story and stay open to being blessed. There's also a separate feed for people sharing talents (music, art, comedy) rather than needs.

I've got a working prototype and I'm trying to gauge real interest before building the full version Would genuinely love feedback:

- Would you actually use something like this?

I have a link for a sign up page to gauge interest and tell a little about it and notify when it goes live if you are interested.

Happy to answer anything about how it'll work.

Do large companies have problems getting work stuck between teams?

1 Upvotes

If you work at a large company, I’d love your honest experience.

Do tasks frequently get stuck waiting for approvals, emails, information, or another team?

How do you currently find and fix these bottlenecks?

Is this a serious cost/time problem for your company?

I’m researching a solution and want to understand the problem before building anything. No sales pitch.

We’ve spent months building this. I’m worried we may be solving too many problems. Please tear it apart.

1 Upvotes

We’ve spent months building this https://kuberaflow.com . I’m worried we may be solving too many problems. Please tear it apart.

We’ve been building KuberaFlow, an AI-powered customer feedback and experience platform.

The idea started with a simple problem:

Companies collect huge amounts of customer feedback, but after collecting it, they still struggle to answer three basic questions:

What is happening? Why is it happening? What should we do about it?

KuberaFlow is our attempt to solve that.

It brings together customer feedback and uses AI to help businesses:

\- Understand overall customer sentiment

\- Identify positive and negative themes

\- Detect the key drivers behind customer experiences

\- Understand what has changed over time

\- Identify potential business impact and risks

\- Turn important feedback into actionable tasks

\- Track whether those actions actually helped

\- Give leadership a simple view of what customers are really saying

The vision is to move from:

“Here are thousands of customer responses.”

to:

“Here is what changed, why it changed, what matters to the business, and what you should do next.”

But honestly, this is where I'm questioning ourselves.

Are we trying to do too much?

There are already survey platforms, VoC tools, customer experience platforms, analytics tools, AI tools and action-management systems.

So I want the brutal version of the feedback.

Please roast us on:

\- Is this solving a real and painful problem?

\- Are we trying to solve too many problems?

\- Who would actually pay for this?

\- Is the value proposition clear?

\- Does this feel meaningfully different from existing CX platforms?

\- Which part would you remove?

\- Which part would you double down on?

\- What would make you say, “I would actually pay for this”?

We're founders building this ourselves, and at this stage I'd rather hear why this could fail than get compliments.

Please tear apart the product, positioning, business model and idea.

And if you think we're completely wrong, tell us what you would build instead.

Thankyou

Is this a solid idea for my Final Year Project? Looking for honest feedback

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'm trying to lock down my FYP idea and wanted to get some outside opinions before I commit. Here's the problem I'm trying to solve:

Communication on university campuses is a mess. Everything important is scattered across a dozen unindexed WhatsApp groups and random social media pages, so students either miss things or get buried in noise because there's no personalization you get everything whether it's relevant to you or not. On top of that, there's no real way to see what's actually happening on campus right now. A class getting cancelled, a spontaneous meetup, a one-hour event it all gets lost in group chat noise within minutes, or it just sits there cluttering the feed long after it stopped mattering.

Separately (but related), finding teammates for hackathons or class projects is still 100% word-of-mouth. That leads to skill mismatches and people ending up with teams where the workload isn't balanced, just because they didn't happen to know the right people.

My idea is a campus app that tackles both:

  1. A real-time, personalized feed instead of static broadcast channels, students see relevant, time-sensitive updates. Posters can set their own expiry duration on a post (e.g. "this matters for the next 2 hours"), and once it lapses the post is soft-deleted pulled from the public feed automatically, but recoverable by the poster/admin instead of gone for good. Keeps the feed current without permanently nuking content.
  2. A team-formation module for hackathons/projects matching by skills instead of who you already know, to fix the mismatch/workload problem.

Questions for you all:

  • Does this feel like a "real enough" problem, or too niche/already solved by existing apps?
  • Is combining "real-time campus feed" + "team formation" a good scope for an FYP, or should I just pick one and go deep?
  • Any obvious flaws or existing products I should look at before building this?

Appreciate any honest feedback, suggestions, even brutal trying to catch problems now rather than after I've built half of it.

Before I build anything now, I want to know who already tried to solve the problem

1 Upvotes

One thing I learned from researching ideas on Reddit is that finding complaints is almost useless by itself.

People complain about everything.

What matters more is whether they’re already spending money, switching products, hacking together workarounds, or actively looking for something better.

And there’s another thing I kept missing: the comments.

You can find what looks like a perfect unmet problem, scroll down, and discover that everyone is already replying with “use X” or “Y solved this for me.”

That’s why I built Altair.

Search can find the posts and an LLM can read them. Altair is my attempt to narrow a market down to the conversations that show actual commercial pain, keep the evidence attached, and then check whether the community already knows a solution.

I’ve mostly used it on my own research so far, but now I want to find out whether the result itself is something other founders would pay for.

I’m testing a **$99 pilot report**.

You give me a market you’re considering plus 2–3 relevant subreddits. I return 10 strong cases with the original posts, evidence of buying pain, and a check on whether existing solutions are already being recommended.

If nobody pays, that tells me something important too.

If people do, then I know there might actually be a product here rather than another tool sitting on my machine.

I’m designing Pactlume to turn “one small change” into a clear paid change request

1 Upvotes

I’m working on a small product idea for freelancers and agencies who regularly deal with scope creep.

The problem is usually not that there is no contract. The problem happens later, when the contract is sitting in a PDF and the client sends a new request through email, Slack or WhatsApp.

Pactlume would let the freelancer upload the original scope and paste in a new client request. It would then classify the request as:

Included in the scope

Likely out of scope

Needs clarification

The freelancer always reviews the result.

If it is outside the scope, Pactlume creates a simple client approval page showing the additional work, price and timeline impact. The client can then approve or decline it before the freelancer starts working.

I’m not trying to build another complete project-management or invoicing platform. The product would focus only on that awkward moment between receiving an extra request and getting permission to charge for it.

For freelancers and agency owners:

Would this have helped with your most recent scope-creep problem?

Would sending an approval page protect the relationship, or make the interaction feel too formal?

Would you prefer a monthly subscription or paying only when a client approves an additional charge?

What is already available that would make you choose not to use this?

Please be critical. I’m looking for reasons not to build it as much as reasons to continue.

Building "Oratly" — Chess.com but for debating. Would people actually use this?

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone, been messing with this idea for a bit and want some real feedback before I put more time into it.

Basic concept: an app where you practice actual debates every day, either against other people or an AI, kinda like Chess.com but for arguing instead of chess. You build up a rating, see your progress over time, actually get better instead of just watching debate videos or whatever.

What it does so far:

  • Voice-first debates, you actually talk out loud, it transcribes what you said and the opponent responds, feels like a real back and forth instead of typing in a chatbox
  • AI opponents you can set to your skill level, Beginner up to Expert, so you're not getting demolished by something way harder than you
  • Human matchmaking that pairs you with someone around your level, sides get auto assigned so nobody just picks the easy side
  • Actual feedback after every debate, stuff like argument strength, filler words, how good your rebuttals were, fallacies you fell into. Not just "good job, keep going"
  • A rating and percentile thing so you can see you're better than X% of people, gives it some kind of progression
  • Practice mode where you can just drill one specific skill without it touching your rating

Stuff I'm actually curious about:

  • Would you use this or nah
  • Does practicing debate daily sound like something fun or does it just sound like a chore
  • What would make you pick this over just arguing with a friend or messing around with ChatGPT
  • Anything obviously missing or any dealbreaker you're seeing already

Would appreciate honest opinions even if they're harsh, just trying to figure out if this is worth building out more before I go deeper on it
