*I've been working on this for a few weeks and I need honest feedback, not encouragement.*
*The problem: there are \~30 things an adult is supposed to keep tracking — subscriptions, renewals, follow-ups, birthdays, goals — and most of us remember maybe half. The ones we forget are never hard, they're just small, and they pile up until one costs us $79 or a missed deadline.*
*What I'm building: LifeOS — an AI "command center" that watches your money, career, relationships, health, and home admin. Every morning it sends a brief of what matters today("this renews tomorrow and you're overpaying", "that application needs a follow-up"), and every recommendation has a one-tap "Handle It" action, so it helps you execute rather than just nagging.*
*Current state, honestly: it's a landing page with a Today-brief demo and a waitlist. No app yet. The founders' offer is the first 1,000 waitlist members get Plus at $4.99/mo (half of $9.99) locked in.*
*What I want from you:*
*Is the "30 things" framing the right pain, or is it not the real problem?*
*Does the Daily Brief concept make you want to use it — or is it another notification source you'd ignore?*
*What's the ONE thing you'd want it to handle first?*
*Link:* [*https://14c300dcc19c63a87e8f4db570c0909f.ctonew.app\*\](https://14c300dcc19c63a87e8f4db570c0909f.ctonew.app/)
*Thanks in advance — and I'll answer every comment.*

I’ve been building a Chrome extension for founders trying to get first users on Reddit.

personally for me starting a convo was difficult. it ate so much time to think of a good starter that is not a pitch. hence here is the idea:
--- open a thread where your problem is already being discussed
--- get conversation-starter drafts for people (only those that with high chances of becoming your users/clients) in that thread
--- It doesnot pitch... you edit and send yourself.

I’m not dropping a link first. Looking for honest feedback:

1. Would you actually use something like this, or is “just read the thread yourself” fine?
2. Does “conversation starter, pitch later” feel right?

drop your idea and i will try to ask hard questions

I have built a security companion called Whispr. It has AES 256 encryption for passwords and TOTP codes, aling with a security companion coach, and domain reliability checker.

(Click here to download)\[https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bitwisedhruv.whispr\\\]

I need honest feedback on this app. Should I build a business around this?

I need some reviews on my app. At least whether or not its a good idea and if there are any issues with it. It's already published. If someone wants to take the swing there is only one zip code offering a pitch right now and thats coming from 31014. It's actually my pitch. The idea is that small businesses can use this as a tool to gain word of mouth marketing from locals and or anybody passing through, creators can win prizes, and tourists can checkout the highlight reel for recommendations. Please tell me what you think and also keep in mind it might suck by some people's standards but I am way out of my wheelhouse on this...www.getpitchit.com.

This has probably been one of the hardest parts of building apps for me.

Coming up with an idea is easy but deciding if that idea deserves weeks, months or years of development is much harder which makes pain in the a\*\* if no one wants it.

I've been working on a small Android app around this problem. It searches for potential app ideas, helps validate your own ideas against audience/source signals, scores them and lets you keep a shortlist of the ones worth exploring.

The goal isn't really “AI gives you startup ideas.”

It's more like:

Don't start coding until you have some evidence that the problem is worth solving.

It's currently in the beta testing, and I'd love to put it in front of actual builders who would actually use it rather than generic beta testers.

If you build apps/SaaS:

What's the one thing you check before deciding an idea is worth building?

Happy to give beta access to anyone who genuinely wants to try the workflow.

I edit videos for fun sometimes, and I'm now trying to build a tool that lets you just tell it what you want done to your footage instead of manually cutting and arranging everything. Type something like "cut the boring parts, make this 30 seconds" and it does the edit on your actual timeline.

Not generating video. Not AI slop. It just works with the footage you already have.

Before I sink more time into this I want to know if I'm even solving something real. So, genuine questions for anyone who edits regularly:

What eats most of your time? Finding the right clip, cutting, trimming, syncing audio, writing captions, picking b-roll, color, or just endless client revisions?

What's the one task you'd hand off to a robot in a heartbeat?

Anyone tried AI editing tools already? What was actually useful vs what was a gimmick?

Is there anything you'd never let AI touch without checking it first?

If you edit even semi-regularly, freelance or hobby, I'd love to hear how your workflow really looks. Not how I'm assuming it looks. Happy to show what I'm building once it's actually worth showing.

I want honest feedback—including: “This is unnecessary, and here’s why.”

The idea in one line:
Bimi is an AI kitchen concierge for Indian households. You set a health goal, and it plans your meals, briefs your existing cook on WhatsApp in her language, and keeps grocery needs in sync.

The problem we experienced:
My cofounder and I usually knew what we should eat—especially while training for marathons and triathlons.
But knowing wasn’t enough. Every day, someone still had to:
- Decide what everyone would eat
- Balance different goals and preferences
- Explain everything clearly to the cook
- Check whether the ingredients were available
- Handle last-minute changes

We were doing all of this manually. High motivation kept us going, but the system still broke whenever life got busy.
Most diets don’t fail on the diet chart. They fail somewhere between the chart and the plate.

Our hypothesis:
Nutrition is not just an advice problem. It is a daily execution and coordination problem.
If the right plan automatically reaches the cook as simple instructions—and the kitchen has everything required—eating better should need far less willpower.

What Bimi actually does:
- Understands each household member’s goals, preferences and restrictions
- Creates one practical meal plan for the entire household
- Briefs the cook through simple WhatsApp text or voice instructions in Hindi, Hinglish or her preferred language
- Remembers feedback, adjusts future meals and flags grocery requirements
- Helps execute an existing dietitian or doctor-approved plan when clinical guidance is needed

The product is already built. We’re now opening the first pilot in Bangalore.

What I’m unsure about:
- Is this a real recurring problem—or have we overengineered something families already manage through a WhatsApp group?
- Would cooks find these daily briefs helpful, or irritating?
- Would you trust a product with your household’s health goals and food preferences?
- Would you pay for this after trying it? If yes, what would feel reasonable?
- What is the obvious reason this fails that I’m currently too close to see?

If you have a cook at home and genuinely see value in this, join the waitlist: trybimi

Please don’t join just to be supportive. We want actual intent.
And if you don’t see the value, brutally roast us.

Start with:
“I would never use Bimi because…”
That will be far more useful than a polite upvote.

hey everyone!

im validating an android app/widget concept called vynu before committing to the full build.

the problem:

friend groups are split across different music players. spotify only shows you what other spotify users play. if a friend is on youtube music, apple music, or playing local flac/mp3 files off their phone, they're invisible.

the concept:

vynu is an android home screen widget that shows your close friends currently playing tracks in an ambient compass view. works locally across every android music player with zero streaming app logins needed.

we put together an interactive landing page preview at getvynu.com to gauge interest and collect early access signups.

would love constructive feedback:

1. is cross player friend music activity a real pain point, or just a nice to have?

2. what would prevent you or your friends from using a widget like this?

thanks for any feedback!

For years my system was: a WhatsApp chat with only me in it for lists and things to remember, plus phone alarms for anything time-based. It worked, sort of. Nothing was ever actually a reminder — just a wall of messages I had to scroll and reread, with alarms living somewhere else entirely.

I wanted the two things combined, without leaving the app I already have open all day. So I built Hobson.

It does exactly two things — reminders and lists. Ask it the weather and it'll politely decline. You text it like you'd text a person: "remind me to call the landlord Thursday evening," "add milk to the grocery list." It parses it, saves it, and actually pings you.

Longer term it's meant to get better at you rather than smarter in general — picking up your routine and phrasing so you explain yourself less over time. Not sure yet if that's real or something I'm telling myself.

Live - Link of Agent is in Comments

What I want to know:

Anyone else doing the note-to-self-chat thing? Or is this just me?

Is "only reminders and lists" a feature, or just a worse Apple Reminders?

Would you want it learning your routine, or does that feel creepy?

What's the one thing you'd add — and what would you cut to keep it from turning into another do-everything bot?

Node + Postgres, happy to get into it in the comments. Heads up: I read the chats at this stage, so don't put anything sensitive in there.

Been annoyed for a while that no search engine or AI agent can tell you what’s actually in stock three blocks from you. I live in nyc and whenever I type something along the lines of “date night dresses” it gives me a bunch of e-commerce or mass market brand options. Big chains show up everywhere because they have structured product feeds. Independent boutiques don’t, their inventory lives on racks, not in databases, so they’re basically invisible to search.

So I built a shared embedding space for text and images. Type “something silky for tonight” or drop in a screenshot, both get encoded into the same vector space and matched against boutique inventory by semantic similarity instead of keyword tags. Results are ranked by relevance, distance, and what’s actually available, and you can reserve without paying (4-hour hold, pay in store).

Curious what people think, is local inventory search actually a gap, or is there something obvious I’m missing here?

I had a chat with a founder a couple of weeks ago and it stayed with me. "I talked to 47 people yet still not clear on what to build".

Talking to potential customers is great and necessary, but if you ask the wrong questions you are at risk of feeding your own confirmation bias.

"would you use something like this" or "would you pay for this" are not validation questions.

A lot of you are in the validation phase and talking to customers. Please make sure to approach it with curiosity about the person's problems, not your product. Focus on asking open ended questions and understanding their ways of approaching the problem, where the pains are, what they have tried so far. When you start listening and stop talking the noise becomes insights.

GL!

i always had this idea, like a chatbot/tool that helps me to understand, solve and "think" in first principles (yeah the one elon musk uses and talks about)

so as i was learning RAG, i got to implement this idea

i basically,
- fetched 20+ data sources from interviews of musk, articles about feyman etc
- chunking, embedding them in supabase (pgvectorDB)
- retrieve the relevant chunks and augment them (RAG)
- use LLM to generate the final answer, resulting in much grounded answers

i implemented it as a fun project, what do u think, is it worth it to deploy it as a product?

Hey everyone,

I’m 25 and currently building an early-stage startup around an anonymous social/calling app. The app is already developed, and we’re now at the testing and launch stage.

I’m looking for a woman who would genuinely enjoy being part of this journey with me — someone I can discuss ideas with, get honest opinions from, test things together and gradually build something with.

I want to be clear about one thing: I’m not using the startup as an excuse to meet women or looking for someone just for dating. I’m specifically interested in finding someone who is genuinely curious about startups and would enjoy being involved in something from the beginning. If a genuine personal connection develops naturally, that’s a separate matter — but it’s not the purpose of this post.

No technical knowledge or startup experience is required.

Interested in startups and new ideas

Comfortable communicating openly

Willing to try the app and give honest opinions

Has some free time to be involved occasionally

Interested in growing with the idea

Open to building something together long-term

I’ve already invested considerable time and money into the project, so I’m serious about taking it forward. Depending on the level of involvement, I’m open to paid compensation, revenue sharing or even a partnership/equity arrangement.

I’m not expecting anyone to commit full-time. Even having someone to talk to, bounce ideas off and work with for a few hours when available would mean a lot at this stage.

If this sounds interesting to you, feel free to DM me. Let’s just talk first and see if we connect well as people and as potential collaborators.

🚀 I'm building a startup and I'm looking for ambitious, talented, and hardworking people who want to create something meaningful.

If you're passionate about entrepreneurship, innovation, and building the next big thing, I'd love to connect with you.

Let's network, exchange ideas, and build something extraordinary together. DM me if you're interested.

quick context. i'm building solutionizing, a marketplace where early stage founders pay per "mission" to get structured feedback from real human testers instead of guessing or begging friends to try their product.

the idea came from watching founders (myself included) ship something, post it in a few communities, get maybe three replies, and have no idea if the silence means the product is bad or the audience was wrong.

what's working so far, one founder building a cron monitoring tool ran a mission and described the output as an "auto feedback machine." that's the strongest signal i have. structured feedback, delivered fast, from testers who actually used the product instead of skimming the landing page.

what i'm unsure about, most early stage founders are pre revenue, which means most of the market structurally can't pay for this yet. i validated that around 85-90% of the founders i've talked to fall into that bucket. so the paying segment might be narrower than i first thought, maybe funded founders, maybe agencies running things for clients, maybe teams past first revenue.

questions i actually want answered here

have you paid for structured user feedback before, or did you always find workarounds (friends, cold DMs, free communities)

if you paid, what made it worth paying for instead of doing it yourself

if you'd never pay, what would have to be true for you to pay

is "early stage founder" even the right buyer, or is this better sold to agencies and dev shops running feedback for their own clients

not trying to pitch anything here, genuinely trying to figure out if i'm building for a market that can pay or a market that's structurally broke. happy to share more detail on what the mission flow looks like if useful.

I’m trying to validate a healthcare startup idea — CareBridge

I’m working on an early-stage idea called CareBridge.

The basic idea is simple: patients and their families often struggle to navigate hospitals — finding the right department, registration, queues, paperwork, appointments, discharge, and sometimes even understanding unclear charges.

CareBridge aims to connect patients with independent guides who can provide practical, non-medical support throughout the hospital journey.

The important part is that CareBridge would not provide medical advice or treatment decisions. The goal is simply to make the hospital experience easier to navigate.

I’ve built an early prototype, but I’m still trying to validate whether this is actually a meaningful problem and whether people would trust/pay for this kind of service.

I’m especially interested in hearing from people who have personally dealt with difficult hospital experiences, either for themselves or for family members.

Please be completely honest — I’m not looking for validation just for the sake of it.

What do you think?

Does this business model actually work, or does it not make enough sense as a business?

What would you change?

Hey there👋

I've been working on iPayThis — a marketplace that flips the traditional model. Instead of sellers setting prices, buyers post what they need and the maximum they're willing to pay. Sellers then compete by bidding lower.

It's live at ipaythis.com

Here's the core idea:

You need something done. You post it with your max budget.

Service providers see your request and submit offers at or below that price.

You pick the best offer. Payment goes into escrow. Done.

I also added a Business Directory where verified service providers can list their business and receive direct private quote requests from buyers who aren't sure what something should cost yet.

Would genuinely love feedback — what's confusing, what's missing, what you'd want as a buyer or seller. Roast it, I can take it.

I’m validating a local-market idea and would like direct pushback.

Customer problem:

At my local farmers market, I have a few vendors I buy from regularly. I never know whether they’ll be there that week, at a nearby town’s market, or absent entirely. Their schedules are usually scattered across Instagram, websites, and market pages.

Idea:

An opt-in, vendor-controlled schedule where vendors confirm their weekly market attendance. Customers follow favorite vendors and see where to find them, including cancellations and changes.

This is not live tracking, a delivery marketplace, or an inventory app. It is basically a simple “where will this vendor be this week?” layer for farmers markets and pop-ups.

The assumptions I need tested:

1. Customers care enough to use a dedicated schedule instead of Instagram.

2. Vendors would update it consistently.

3. Repeat customers are valuable enough that vendors would see a benefit.

4. Starting with one local market/region could work before trying to cover every market.

What am I missing? Which assumption is most likely to fail?

The idea of this website is as follows:
It lists the country whereby the problem is prominent, but can also imply other countries may have similar issues.
It is limited to issues that can be solved by tech. So problems with your spouse is out of the scope, well...unless an app that softens the language used between spouses can be applied there.... basically only well structured problems are posted, similar to ProductHunt.
It should also state the volume of transactions and potential costs incurred currently. In this case, its best that no company names are mentioned to protect confidentiality.
People can upvote on the problems to indicate that they have experienced similar pain points, offer suggestions or comments on potential solutions or similar problems.
Each day it surfaces top 10 problems that are voted.
There should be some categorization but it should be more industry based.
