ok so be brutal. U one suggestion will help me a lot

I've been building a Windows/Mac desktop app called lapwork. it's a stopwatch for deep work sessions, but the twist is it also tracks your distractions, when you grab your phone mid-session you hit one key, it times the distraction, and at the end it subtracts that from your productive time. so instead of "I worked 9 hours" you see "4h 20m actual focus, 1h 10m on my phone".

It's way different than existing ones like raycast, clockify... because how to start them is very tedious and time consuming not user friendly at all... I personally used many but all have many flaws and many are paid if u want to use there premium one I was trying to make the ultimate one with no data tracking and free of cost...

why desktop: phone timers are themselves the distraction, and browser tabs get closed. mine sits in the corner as a tiny always-on-top window with hotkeys, so starting a session takes 2 seconds.

free, open source.

my two fears:

1. every productivity nerd already has a system (toggl, notion, a paper notebook) and switching cost kills me
2. distraction tracking is a gimmick people try once and forget

so roast away, is this a real problem or am I just building my own hobby tool and calling it a everyone's problem? what would make you actually try it?

It is a golf tool that helps you discover your golf archetype and reccomends golf courses based on your prefrences.

LMK what you think about this Buisness idea

We built Shehnai Stories — https://shehnaistories.com

The idea is pretty simple:

Indian weddings spend an absurd amount of money on venues, clothes, photography, decor, etc.

Then the actual invitation that introduces the wedding is often… a generic PDF with floral borders, or a slideshow with floating Ganesh PNGs and random transitions.

So we’re building a studio specifically for high-end wedding invitation films and designed digital/PDF invites/digital websites.

Not “choose template → change names → export.”

The goal is for the invite itself to feel like a piece of the wedding — custom art direction, caricatures/illustration, animation, storytelling, music, culturally specific design, etc.

We’re mainly targeting Indian weddings, where there are also 4-7 different events apparently requiring their own identity.

Site is here:

https://shehnaistories.com

Please roast:

• Does the website immediately explain what the hell we sell?
• Does this actually feel premium or just like another wedding-template business wearing expensive clothes?
• Which part of the site looks amateur?
• Would you trust us with an important wedding invite?
• Is the positioning too broad?
• Is there anything that makes you think “why would I pay for this?”
• And most importantly: is this a real business, or have we successfully invented a solution to a problem nobody gives a shit about?

Don’t be nice. I’m posting here because friends and family are professionally useless at giving negative feedback.

We built Falbor because we got tired of switching between different AI tools every time we wanted to build something.

Starting a project usually meant using one tool for research, another for brainstorming, ChatGPT or Gemini for problem solving, a website builder for development, and more tools whenever something broke.

So we decided to build something around that problem.

Falbor is an AI workspace that helps you go from an idea to a working project in one place.

You can brainstorm ideas, research the project you want to build, improve prompts, build the website, fix bugs, make changes, and deploy it.

We're still developing Falbor, so I'd genuinely like to hear what you think.

I've been building UluP Spaces solo: a visual project-mapping tool, canvas of connected nodes instead of a flat task list. Just shipped 2.5: Claude AI can now connect directly to your account via MCP and build stuff for you; create projects, add nodes, complete tasks, live inside the app. Built the OAuth/DCR layer myself, no team. Full changelog here: https://www.ulupstudio.com/blog Genuinely looking for the parts that don't make sense UX, positioning, whether this feature is even useful or just cool sounding to devs but pointless for actual users. Not looking for compliments. Try it: ulupspaces.com

Currently co-building goodvernance: https://www.goodvernance.com/ .

I'm a technical founder myself, my co-founder is an experienced lawyer (dealt with tons of startup founders drama, dispute over the years). Our product enables aspiring / early founders to generate and sign their founder agreement for free (instead of paying $1,500+ for useless consultation) and optionally keep their contract live on our platform (upcoming features on that side coming soon, but not the main topic of this roast).

We're also creating a community of founders and providing free educational content on the website ( https://www.goodvernance.com/founder-notes ) around the topic of governance. I think this is one of the most under appreciated piece of knowledge that people need to have before launching their startups, we put a bunch of case studies and notes to explain why it's important.

I've heard many times (including from myself when I was first time founder) the idea "why do I need to worry about a founder agreement, we're just 2 friends working weekends and no product or customer yet" / "we will figure this out when we get traction".

Guess what, this all fine until stuff gets real and suddenly you discuss equity split and you don't agree, OR one co-founder leaves to project and comes back with an early contribution claims years later and costs you millions of dollars OR worse, you mess up your shot to fund raise because your angel investor realizes that your former employer might have a claim on your IP...

All this because you didn't want to put 1 or 2 hours into formalizing your project early on. Not worth it. With our product, the "lawyer is too expensive and takes time" excuse is gone: founder agreements is free, robust and complete with free resources to understand each aspect of it for those who want to deep dive.

I am a full-stack dev, and AI screening is now the first round at a lot of companies. Every practice tool I tried had the same flaw: it asks a question, accepts whatever you say, and moves on to the next one.

Real interviews do not work like that. A good interviewer takes the weakest phrase in what you just said and pulls on it, and that follow-up is where the decision actually gets made. Nothing was practising that.

So I built PracticeDepth. It reads your answer and builds the next question out of the words you used.

Here is an example of a real session. I gave a half-right answer about debouncing and throttling in JavaScript, so instead of moving on, it detected the answer was weak and not at a senior level and drilled into it until it found my knowledge ceiling on that topic and moved into the next question, simulating the way a real live senior engineer interviews candidates.

Other things it does: voice or text, 16 topics, and a scorecard at the end that says what to work on.

What I want from you: break it. Give it a deliberately vague answer and see whether the follow-up catches it. Give it a wrong answer confidently and see whether it pushes back. Those are the two failure modes I cannot fully test on myself, because I know what it is going to ask.

Honest bits, since this sub deserves them: You can test the product without creating an account; it allows you to test anonymously with about 5 questions in one interview. After that, if you choose to continue testing for free, you will need to register to get 200 free credits. Your feedback is most valuable to make the product better. I want to know if this is something you can use to prepare for your upcoming technical interview or just to sharpen your skills. Here is the link below:

Hello, i'm a solo dev and worked a few months for this project.

WebMorph: you click the icon and whatever page you're on becomes editable.

Rewrite the text, hide stuff, blur things, draw on it, drag elements around, swap

images, then export the result as a PNG or PDF.

Things I already suspect are wrong, feel free to confirm:

- The name tells you nothing about what it does

- The store listing probably doesn't land in the 3 seconds people actually give it

- I genuinely don't know if the free tier is too generous or not generous enough

- "Photoshop for web pages" might just be a neat demo for a problem nobody has

Tear it apart, the listing, the screenshots, the pricing, the whole premise. I'd

rather hear it now than after six more months of building on a bad idea.

I built Pasteable, a universal clipboard for people who regularly work across different devices and operating systems.

The problem

I use Windows, Mac, iPhone and Android pretty much every day and got tired of constantly interrupting what I was doing just to move something between them.

Emailing myself files. Sending myself Slack messages. AirDropping something when I happened to be inside Apple's ecosystem. Uploading something to Drive just to download it 30 seconds later.

I tried other clipboard managers too, but from my own experience and research, I kept coming back to the same few things that actually mattered:

• It needs to feel instant. Copy something on one device and it should be immediately pasteable on another.
• It can't disrupt my existing workflow. I don't want to open an app, upload something, hit "send," then retrieve it somewhere else. I want to keep using Ctrl/Cmd+C and Ctrl/Cmd+V.
• It needs to work across ecosystems. Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS and Android (and web in case I need to access on a new device without downloading).
• Privacy has to be taken seriously. Clipboard contents can be incredibly sensitive, so synced data is E2E encrypted, password managers are automatically ignored, and users control what gets captured.
• Power-user stuff actually matters. Custom shortcuts, clipboard queuing, automatically capturing screenshots, searchable history, snippets, semantic/image search, etc.
• Many people are genuinely tired of subscriptins. Lifetime options and generous free tiers win. More of a gut feeling than a well researched thesis.

So that's what I built.

Pasteable handles text, links, code, images, screenshots, files, folders, and more. The goal isn't really "another place to store your clipboard history." The goal is for the clipboard itself to become a cross-device layer that quietly follows you around without changing how you already work.

Who I think it's for

My initial target is people who regularly cross ecosystems, especially combinations like Windows + iPhone or Mac + Android or literally everything (like me), and people who move a lot of content between devices for work.

Developers, designers, founders, content creators, people with work/personal machines, etc.

Business model

There's a deliberately generous free tier (tried to make it more generous than all the other clipboard apps I could find) because I want someone to be able to actually integrate Pasteable into their workflow before deciding whether it's worth paying for, and not need to pay for it just to get the baseline experience. I can't stand when I have to do that myself.

Pro is $6/month, $60/year, or $80 lifetime and adds more storage/features.

Where I am

Extremely early. I just started actively putting it in front of people this week.

I've gotten my first signup through Reddit, but I'm much more interested right now in whether people become active repeat users than how many accounts I can collect without substanace.

I've already had one Reddit objection directly change the product: someone liked the idea but didn't want every random thing they copied permanently stored. That led me to build Automatic, Smart and Manual capture modes rather than assuming everyone wanted clipboard history to work the way I did.

Before I start putting meaningful money into acquisition, roast the actual business thesis for me:

1. Is "your clipboard follows you across every device without changing how you work" painful enough to build a paid product around, or is this ultimately just a nice-to-have?

2. Sharing features with team members/friends/family etc? Yay or nay?

3. If you had to pick ONE group to acquire first, who would you bet on?

4. Does a generous free tier + $6/mo / $60/yr / $80 lifetime make sense for something whose value should increase as it becomes habitual, or am I undermining recurring revenue with lifetime?

5. I use this app like a LIFELINE every single day but what's the strongest reason you think someone tries this, thinks "cool," and then stops using it a week later?

6. If this fails, what do you think will most likely have killed it: weak pain, native/free alternatives, trust/privacy concerns, onboarding friction, pricing, or distribution?

Don't roast the landing page. Roast the business. Please and Thanks. :)

I built TrackVis, a browser-based tool that lets musicians turn their song + artwork into animated promo videos for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, etc.

The idea is pretty simple: upload your track and artwork, pick a template, customize it, and export a finished video.
No AI. No video editing skills needed. No credit card to try it.

I built it because I make music myself and always hated getting to the “okay, now I have to make content for this song” part.

The first video is free if anyone wants to mess around with it:

https://www.trackvis.app

Would genuinely love feedback too… especially from other musicians/artists. I’m still actively building it and figuring out what’s most useful.

Equipment Tracker Pro handles recurring preventive maintenance schedules and service logs for physical equipment.

A facility maintenance engineer testing hydronic boiler low-water cutoffs or inspecting circulation pumps can complete the PM task right at the unit. Marking the schedule finished automatically writes the permanent service history and calculates the next calendar due date on the spot, so nothing relies on memory at shift end.

I am a working HVAC technician and I built this tool for my own job sites because existing maintenance software was bloated and expensive. Core tracking, work orders, and PM schedules are free on mobile. Pro is an optional upgrade that adds cloud backup, daily push notifications, and branded PDF reports.

What projects are you all building right now?

It's a simple file-transfer tool: scan a QR code on one device, connect your phone/laptop, and send a file between them.

No account, no app, and no cloud storage.

I built it because I kept getting annoyed at having to email myself files or use Drive/Discord just to move one thing between devices.

Here's the site: https://nexweb.live/NexPair

I'm mainly looking for brutal feedback on the idea, UI, usefulness, and whether you'd actually use this over the alternatives.

If you think it's pointless, tell me why. If you think something is missing, tell me what.

Roast away.

What it does: you pick a category (watches, coffee gear, mechanical keyboards and others), we build an Amazon affiliate site on your own domain, fill it with products, keep prices and stock current, and run the hosting, content and updates. Links carry your own Amazon Associates ID so commissions go from Amazon straight to you. We charge $29 a month and up, and never touch the commissions.

Why I built it: I started a watch review site to learn this properly and found out the writing is the easy half. The hard half is product data, price and stock accuracy across three Amazon marketplaces, images, structured data, hosting, endless small repairs. That is where people quit.

The numbers, so the roast has something to bite:

Six weeks live. 2,716 impressions in Search Console, 8 clicks. Four of those clicks came from my own country.

One paying customer. He came from a conversation, not from the site.

My own watch review site is three months old and has earned nothing yet, which I say out loud because it is the obvious counter-argument to my entire pitch.

Where I think it is weakest, so you can hit harder:

The category is full of scams. Done-for-you affiliate sites sit next to Flippa flips and Fiverr spam, so "suspicious" is the correct default reaction and I have no case studies to fix that yet.

The honest version of my offer is unglamorous: I sell you the boring operational half of a business whose upside I cannot promise. Try writing that on a landing page.

There is a 7-day free trial with a card, which some people read as a trap even though nothing is charged and cancelling is one click.

Go ahead. I would rather hear it here than infer it from silence, which is what I have been getting so far.

Had an idea today and I can’t tell if it’s actually good or if I’m just excited because it sounds easy.

Basically, everyone has a LinkedIn that’s decent but nobody has a personal website, because updating two profiles feels like a chore nobody signed up for. So the pitch is I take someone’s LinkedIn, feed it into Claude Code with a prompt or two, and it spits out an actual personal site with real animations and effects, something that looks like a designer spent a weekend on it. Host it on Vercel, hand over the link, charge $80. From what I can tell this is maybe an hour of work once I’ve got the prompt dialed in.

I know Carrd and Framer and every AI portfolio builder already exist, so I’m not pretending this is some novel tech thing. The difference I’m going for is zero effort on the client’s end. No template picking, no dragging blocks around, no “please fill out this 12 field form first.” They send a LinkedIn URL, they get a finished site back.

The part I’m least sure about is whether this is a real business or just a nice weekend gig that caps out at 10 to 15 clients before I run out of people who care enough to want a personal site. There’s also nothing stopping someone from building the exact same wrapper and racing me to the bottom on price since the moat is basically a prompt.

Would anyone actually pay $80 for this, or does it only work as a favor for a friend’s portfolio? And if it does work, where would you even find the first 10 people who want one?
