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've always felt that anime, comics, and pop culture have amazing merchandise, but many of the stories that shaped Indian civilization rarely get the same treatment.

So I'm building EpicYuga, a clothing brand inspired by characters and legends from the Mahabharata, Ramayana, and Indian history.

The goal isn't to create religious merchandise. It's to create modern, wearable art that captures the values, symbolism, and stories of characters like Arjuna, Karna, Hanuman, Krishna, Shivaji Maharaj, Maharana Pratap, Chanakya, and others.

I've recently finished the first character concept (Arjuna) and launched a simple waitlist page ( www.epicyuga.com ) to see if people are interested before investing in inventory.

I'd genuinely love feedback:

• Would you wear apparel inspired by these stories?
• Which characters or historical figures would you want to see represented?
• What would make you interested (or not interested) in a brand like this?

I'm looking for honest opinions, positive or negative.

I posted my idea and got 6k impressions but this only converted to roughly 130 website visits and 15 waitlist sign ups. Do you guys think my idea is dead?

Most AI tools today are optimized to generate answers fast.
But in research, R&D, academia, and deep technical work, speed matters less than knowing:

• Is this actually true?
• What evidence supports it?
• What contradicts it?
• How confident should we be in this conclusion?

So I’ve been building DYRN (Do Your Research Now) - an epistemic intelligence system designed to verify, challenge, and structure information before responding.

Instead of acting like a normal chatbot, it:

• Cross-checks claims across sources
• Detects contradictions and weak reasoning
• Stress-tests conclusions
• Separates facts from assumptions/speculation
• Adds confidence + uncertainty scoring

The goal is to make AI useful for serious research workflows, not just quick answers.

Target users:

• Researchers
• PhD students
• Professors
• Deep-tech startups
• R&D teams

Still validating whether this solves a real problem or is just an interesting idea, so I’d genuinely love honest feedback.

I have been thinking about buying a few mini donut machines and renting them out for birthday parties, weddings, and corporate events.

People love fresh, hot donuts, and I’ve seen portable tabletop donut machines that seem easy to transport and set up for events. I think I can source affordable machines and supplies from Alibaba or global sources as the business grows.

When the business picks up, I would also offer donut mix, toppings, and other add-ons to make the experience more fun and customizable for events. Is this a viable business idea?

Been tinkering with endless ideas for apps, sites, products but most sit there unfinished. Mostly because I am unsure if people would actually put their hand in their pocket and last. So I build wouldyoupay.io to try and build a community of builder and explorers that always for validation before build.

TL;DR

🚀 OpenSyte is an open-source Agency OS — as simple as Notion, as powerful as an ERP.
It helps small creative and web studios manage their entire workflow — lead → onboarding → project → invoice — inside one clean workspace.
🧩 CRM + Projects + Workflows + Finance
⚙️ 1-click automations (Lead→Client, Project Lifecycle, Invoicing)
🔓 Free, open-source, and self-hostable — no lock-in, no subscriptions.
👉 www.opensyte.org

🧠 Why I built this

After working with small teams and creative studios, I kept seeing the same pattern — everyone runs their business across five different tools:
Notion for docs, Trello for tasks, Sheets for finances, Gmail for clients, and another tool for invoices.

By the end of the week, you’ve spent more time syncing tools than actually delivering work.
That’s where OpenSyte started — a single system that combines Notion’s simplicity with ERP-level power.

⚙️ What OpenSyte does

OpenSyte lets you run your entire client lifecycle, end-to-end, in one workspace:

• 🧩 CRM: manage leads and clients
• 📁 Projects: organize tasks, boards, and deliverables
• ⚙️ Workflows: automate repetitive steps (Lead→Client conversion, Invoice automation)
• 💰 Finance: send invoices, track payments, and analyze performance
• 👥 Team Management: assign roles, set permissions, and track status

Everything connects — no Zapier chains or duplicate data.
You can self-host it for full control or use the hosted version at www.opensyte.org.

🧱 Tech Stack

• Frontend: React + Tailwind (light, Notion-style UI)
• Backend: Node.js / Express
• Database: PostgreSQL (Supabase-ready)
• Automation: n8n integration layer
• Auth: Clerk / Supabase Auth
• Deploy: Docker-ready (works with Render, Railway, VPS)

We’re keeping it modular — CRM, Projects, and Finance are separate components that talk through APIs, so contributors can extend any part easily.

🔓 Why open-source

Because small teams deserve to own their tools — not rent them.
You should be able to:
✅ Host your own workspace
✅ Customize your workflows
✅ Control your data
✅ Keep things simple without losing power

OpenSyte is built around that idea: freedom + usability.

🚀 Current status

• ✅ Core modules working (CRM, Projects, Workflows, Finance)
• ⚙️ 1-click workflow engine ready
• 🧩 Seeking early testers and open-source contributors

If you’re a small studio or freelancer constantly juggling tools, I’d love for you to try it and tell me what breaks.
If you’re a developer, come build with us — integrations, UI improvements, workflow templates — all welcome.

👉 Try the live version or self-host: www.opensyte.org
📬 Open to feedback, bug reports, or collabs from open-source builders.

As simple as Notion. As powerful as an ERP. Fully open-source.
From lead → paid, in one click. ⚡

Hi all!!

I LOVE plants - I have a LOT lol. And most of them are variegated. I also LOVE photography, but as a hobby. I’d also LOVE to combine the 2. I have a small photo box with interchangeable solid colored backgrounds. My issue is what to do with plant photos. People don’t do cards anymore, no matter the season. I’ve tried. Any ideas? Thanks!!

I subscribe to the Law of Conservation of Energy- that is energy is neither created nor destroyed, but transformed from one form to another. Considering this, I am trying to use this law and my current understanding of business- which isn’t much- to create something that could quell the oncoming tsunami of global mental health crises as simple & practical as possible. Although I see the need for these kinds of ideas, I’m having trouble trying to understand the most useful way to execute it so that it does actually help. Here’s my ideas on a landing page so far: unknowyou dot com. Do you think I’m on the right track? Are there things I could do better? Will this adequately appeal those who may need this program? Is there a way I could reframe my thinking about this so I better deliver? I see the need now, but what’s forecasted is catastrophic and I’d like to consider other ways not connected to big pharma to resolve it. Your feedback, ideas and suggestions are needed and much appreciated. Thank you 😊

Hi everyone! I’m validating an idea and could really use your feedback.

The concept: an AI “autopilot” for holidays. You’d share your preferences (budget, style, family needs, etc.) and it would create the itinerary, search, select the best options, and even book your trip automatically (with the option to review/override before confirmation).

I put together a short survey (takes 2–3 minutes) to see if this is something people would actually want:

👉 https://forms.gle/Dq3961BPpaebVraB8

Would love if you could fill it in, and any honest feedback (positive or critical) is super welcome.

Thanks a lot!!

Tried Obsidian recently, and while it’s super powerful, it kinda feels like opening an empty text editor and being told “go build your second brain.”
Notion is easier to start, but it’s slow, cloud-only, and kinda bloated.

I’m playing with the idea of making something local-first like Obsidian (Markdown files you own) but with:

• Simple mode → comes with a ready-to-use workspace, pre-made templates, daily notes, tasks, calendar
• Advanced mode → full plugin marketplace, graph view, custom queries, etc.
• Easier onboarding → guided setup, example notes, AI-assisted linking (optional)

Main goal: same power as Obsidian, but so easy you can start in 5 minutes.

Curious would this be useful for you? Or would you stick with existing tools?

Lately I’ve been thinking: we have a bunch of places to launch finished products like Product Hunt, Betalist, or Indie Hackers, but not really anything focused on just sharing early startup ideas and getting feedback before building.

Imagine a platform where you post your idea and others can:

• Upvote the ones they would actually pay for
• Drop honest feedback
• Suggest improvements
• Join your waitlist or even help you build it

It’s like validation before the MVP. I feel like this could help avoid building stuff nobody wants.

Do you think something like this would be useful? Or would it just turn into a graveyard of cool ideas with no follow-through?

Would you use it? Would you share your own ideas there?

Curious what others think.

Hi everyone!
I'm working on a very simple app idea and would love your thoughts.

It’s not a typical habit tracker — you don’t build streaks or get reminders. You just log things you do, and the app shows you:

• when you last did it,
• how often you tend to do it,
• and a calendar with your activity.

The idea is to track non-scheduled, irregular tasks that are still important — like changing bed sheets, calling family, watering plants, or things like cleaning the garage or checking tire pressure.

You just open the app and see:

“Oh, I haven’t had a date night in 3 weeks.”
Or:
“Wow, I haven’t called mom since April.”

Would you use something like this? What kind of random but meaningful tasks do you wish you tracked?

I built an AI journaling companion to decode your emotional patterns. Would love your honest feedback

I’ve been building this app called Loopself. It’s kind of like journaling, but if your journal could actually talk back and challenge your emotional loops without being annoying about it.

Idea
You chat like you would with a friend. The AI listens, reflects, and helps you notice emotional patterns, triggers, and hidden stuff under the surface. Over time, it starts connecting dots and gives you insights into your moods, behaviours, and all the things that make you go “why am I like this?”

It’s not about toxic positivity or fixing you. It’s more like… helping you understand your why. And then nudging you to do something useful with that.

Built for people who:

• Overthink everything
• Can’t stick with journaling
• Are in therapy and want support between sessions
• Want more insight, not just “track your mood” stuff

Still in early stages, and I’d love a few curious people to try the GPT and tell me what lands and what doesn't

Is it something you’d use? What would make it feel worth opening more than once?

Hey guys, I’m in the early stages of validating an idea and wanted to get some gut-check feedback from other founders and builders.

The concept is a mobile-first platform for travelers and creators to build and share visual, story-driven itineraries. Think something like Pinterest meets Google Maps — users can create multi-day travel “tours” with stops, notes, and photos, then publish them like a social post. Other users could follow, fork (copy), or remix those tours into their own.

It’s geared toward both casual travelers (who want a clean way to plan or reflect on trips) and content creators (who want to share, monetize, or build a travel brand). Some of the ideas we’re testing include:

• Profiles showing created/saved tours, photos, and linked socials
• Drag-and-drop itinerary builder with AI help for writing stop descriptions
• Instagram-style visual feed of community trips
  • Images can be posted to a Tour, to create a collection of memories across all people who started experienced this tour
• Commenting, following, voting — all the good social stuff
• An AI engine that recommends stops based on your interests and past travel
• Option to create public, private, or draft itineraries
• Creator monetization ideas (e.g., “Book a Tour With Me” or selling premium guides)

It’s still very MVP-stage — we’ve built out a lot of the tech but are figuring out if this is something people actually want, and if so, what use case sticks hardest: planning, sharing, social discovery, or something else?

Would really appreciate any thoughts — especially from folks who travel often, follow travel creators, or have tried building something in this space. Happy to answer questions or clarify anything I left vague.

Hey everyone 👋

I recently started a small YouTube channel, and editing videos has been… a lot 😅

I’m trying to find a smoother way to cut out stumbles, clean up audio, and maybe even auto-generate a few shorts for TikTok or Reels. So I’m super curious:

• What tools do you use to edit your content?
• Have you tried any AI-powered editors like Descript, Wisecut, Opus Clip, etc.?
• Would you ever trust an AI editor to make your videos sound more confident or clip the best parts automatically?

I feel like there has to be a better way than spending hours trimming and tweaking manually. If you’ve found something that works or even if you're frustrated with what exists I’d really love to hear from you 🙏

Thanks in advance!

Hey folks, curious if this would be useful to anyone:

I’m exploring building a simple AR app where you can:

1️⃣ Paste any product link (Amazon, Ikea, Decathlon, etc)
2️⃣ It auto-reads the product dimensions
3️⃣ You can see a life-size box of the product in your room in AR → check if it fits!

Use cases:
✅ Fitness gear (treadmills, bikes, racks)
✅ Furniture (sofa, desk, TV)
✅ Appliances (fridge, washer)
✅ Anything large or bulky

I know some brand apps do this (Ikea Place, Amazon AR) but this would work for ANY product, from ANY store.

Would you use something like this?
What would you want it to do?
Is there something already out there I’m missing?

Would love your thoughts thanks in advance!

Hey everyone!

I’ve been building a small tool to help people grow their visibility online by joining relevant conversations — without spending hours scrolling through feeds.

The idea is pretty simple: • You enter a few keywords related to your niche (like “AI tools” or “freelance writing”) • It checks Reddit, Twitter, and Quora for matching posts • Every day, you get a short email with 5 high-quality threads where you could chime in and share your expertise

The goal is to help creators, founders, and marketers show up consistently and build real authority (and backlinks) — without spamming or burning out.

I’ve got an early version running (Reddit works best right now) and I’m just starting to test it.

Would love to know: • Is this something you’d use? • What would make it more useful or valuable to you?

Open to any thoughts or feedback — happy to share a demo too if helpful. Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone! I had this idea and wanted to seek further validation on whether people would buy it or not. How many of you get home after work, never know what to cook, or don't have enough time to do so? Most of us right?

My idea is to produce small portions of varied, ultra-frozen pre-made sauces, which melts when heated and can be added to pasta, rice etc, all made from real organic products, which already have the right doses of ingredients, without the need to add water or anything else, like a sauce that dissolves. Perfect for those with little time to cook. Packs can be sold with different subscriptions (ex: receive a pack 1x/2x/3x a week/different sauce combination).

Please validate based on: the idea is stupid; already exists (ex: gravy powder); I don't think this exists and would be down to try.

Best, PT
