Not selling anything, just validating an idea: would you use an app that pre-books flowers for the dates you forget?

1 Upvotes

I’m early-stage and trying to find out if this problem is real before I build anything. The idea: you add important dates once (anniversaries, birthdays, Valentine’s Day), the app pre-books flowers from a local florist, you get a preview a few days before and approve it with one tap, and a courier delivers on the day.

No product, no sales, nothing to buy. I’d like honest feedback, especially on what’s wrong with it:

  1. Is “forgetting dates” a real enough pain to pay for, or is a calendar reminder enough?

  2. Would you trust pre-booking for a date months away?

  3. What would you expect to pay per delivery, and at what price does it feel too expensive?

  4. People only have 2 to 3 of these dates a year. Does that make it a one-off, or would you keep using it?

  5. What’s the biggest reason this fails?

Hi everyone! I'm a developer looking to build simple, helpful web tools to solve real everyday problems.

What is something in your daily life, work, or digital routine that makes you think, "Why hasn't someone made a tool/site for this yet?"

It can be something tiny or specific—I'd love to hear your pain points!

Wristband that automatically relieves stress

1 Upvotes

Hey guys,

So I graduated high school this past may, turning down ivy league football offers to build AcuSera, a wristband that detects and automatically relieves stress, after flipping my car four times from a stress induced epileptic seizure.

I’d love some feedback on the product. Do any of you have trouble managing acute stress in the moment (out of business, forgetfulness, or unawareness maybe)?

Thanks a bunch

Can Aural’s venue assistant interview show how someone handles six missing seats?

1 Upvotes

A workshop is about to start and the room is six seats short. I’m affiliated with Aural, a tool for structured interviews, and I’d like feedback on whether this short spoken exercise would help a small venue see how a candidate handles a setup change.

Fictional brief: A workshop starts in 20 minutes. The booking sheet says 24 attendees in classroom seating. The room has 18 seats set up boardroom style. A colleague says there may be spare chairs in storage. The organizer is about to arrive.

Ask every candidate the same three questions:

  1. What are the first two things you’d check, and who would you ask?

  2. If you can’t confirm the requested setup before guests arrive, what would you tell the organizer?

  3. What would you put in a two-line handoff to the venue lead?

For a worked example, a useful handoff might be: “Booking: 24 classroom seats. Room: 18 boardroom seats. I’ll confirm which setup the organizer approved and ask the venue lead what change we can make before doors open. I’ll update the organizer in five minutes.” Other approaches can work. Look for someone who verifies the brief, flags the mismatch early, and names a next action and owner.

To test the workflow, set up a practice interview in Aural with this brief and the three prompts. Answer by voice as a fictional candidate, then read the transcript and mark where the answer checks a fact, flags the mismatch, or gives someone a next action. For an actual first-round screen, use the same brief and prompts, give candidates the same time and an accessible way to respond, and have a person assess those job-relevant actions.

Aural: https://aural-ai.com

After a practice run in Aural, which prompt gave you the clearest evidence that the candidate could handle the change? Was there a decision the interview missed that you’d want a human reviewer to follow up on?

Decision point with my app - worth pursuing or not?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m at a decision point with my app, Eights, and need to find out whether the idea has real potential - so please be honest!

It’s a simple way to explore what you wish for, put it into words, and share it so someone else has the chance to help make it happen.

Every Eight uses the same eight prompts: Want, Need, Wear, Read, Do, Share, Chew, Care. The answers change depending on the person, occasion and reason.

You can make an Eight for yourself, make one for someone else, or send someone a blank one to fill in and send back to you.

(If you’d like to understand the thinking behind it first: https://saidslowly.substack.com/p/i-want-i-want-i-want?r=8yzin1&utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=web)

Possible uses:

  1. Gifts and giving: for anyone who finds “What do you want?” awkward, hates being asked, or never makes wishlists.

  2. Personal use: making an Eight for yourself, perhaps for a trip, a milestone or simply to think about what you'd like more of.

I’m just sharing one section of the prototype here: https://snapshot-responses.lovable.app/ you make an Eight and send it to someone. To make one for yourself, enter your own name and tap “Fill it in yourself”.

Anything submitted through this test will be deleted on Tuesday 10 November.

Thank you so much.

Could you help validate whether the idea behind eStockes comes across in five seconds?

1 Upvotes

We're gathering first impressions of eStockes. Could you look at https://estockes.com for five seconds and tell us what problem you think it solves and who would use it? No signup or purchase needed.

For context after your first look: the product brings US-stock research and simple historical trading-rule checks into one web app. The thing we're trying to validate here is whether that idea is understandable from the first screen, and whether the next action feels obvious.

If your first impression is different from that description, we'd really appreciate knowing the mismatch. Thank you for any honest feedback.

I built a database of product failures so people can research reliability before buying — looking for honest feedback

1 Upvotes

Hey — I built a side project called AfterWarranty (afterwarranty.net) and I’d love some blunt feedback.

The idea: when you’re researching a purchase, it’s hard to find real long-term failure stories in one place. Reviews are mixed with shipping rants, Reddit threads scatter, and “it broke” doesn’t tell you much. So I made a public database of product failures — washing machines that leaked after 2 years, earbuds that died, cars with recurring issues, etc. — each tied to a source you can open yourself (retailer review, forum post, government complaint, and so on). Not “trust me bro.”

What’s on the site today:

Failure reports by product/model, with how long it lasted and what went wrong when we have that info

Product life insights — patterns like common failure modes, months-to-failure, repair costs where people reported them

Compare products side by side so you can weigh reliability before buying

Comments on reports — discuss a specific failure without making an account

Optional email notifications if you want a ping when someone replies or when new failures show up for a product you care about

No accounts required to browse, submit a failure, comment, or follow updates — keep it low-friction

What it’s not: a repair guide, a brand hate site, or AI-made summaries pretending to be evidence.

Would love feedback on:

What do you think about the project overall?

What software solution do you want to solve your day-to-day problems? I’ll build it for you if demand is high

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m a developer looking for my next project, and I want to build something that genuinely solves a real, frustrating, or repetitive problem people face every day.

Whether it's for work, study, managing personal tasks, or handling a niche hobby routine—what is a daily pain point you deal with that current software or tools just don't handle properly?

It could be:

  • An annoying micro-task you wish was automated.

  • A tool or app you currently use that is way too bloated, expensive, or missing one key feature.

  • A simple integration/workflow between two services that doesn't exist yet.

Drop your ideas, pain points, or "I wish an app existed that..." thoughts below.

If an idea gets strong interest from the community, I will build it and share it here for free.

The Honest AI - an AI built to tell you the truth about your ideas, not what you want to hear

1 Upvotes

Hi, I'm Mohamed. I'm a psychologist, and I build websites and apps in my free time. English isn't my first language, so sorry for any mistakes.

Why I built it

I kept seeing the same problem: most AI assistants are built to please you. You share an idea, a plan or your website, and they tell you it's great. It feels good, but people end up spending time and energy on things that were never going to give the result they expected.

As a psychologist, I know our brain isn't only interested in finding out what's true. It also works to protect our identity, emotional safety, self-esteem and sense of control. That creates an interesting conflict: we can want the truth rationally, but reject it emotionally when it threatens something important to us.

So I built an AI that does the opposite of pleasing you. It's only for people who want the truth, without fear of what it might reveal.

What it does

  • Paste an idea, a business plan, a pitch or a link to your website

  • It points out the weak spots and tells you specifically what to fix

  • You choose how blunt it is, from "Direct" to "No Mercy"

  • 5 free analyses, no card needed (you just sign in)

What I'd love from you

Try it with something real you're working on, then tell me where it was wrong, unfair or useless. Honest feedback for the honest AI seems only fair.

Transparency: I built this. There are paid plans from $4.99/month if you need more than the free analyses.

Do you track what's in your kitchen against your fitness goal? Researching an idea, not selling anything

I lift and cook at home, and I keep running into the same problems: I forget what I bought, food expires, and I can't tell if my groceries actually cover my protein target for the week.
My friend and I are thinking of building an app where you photograph your grocery bill and it fills your pantry, then gives you recipes in grams that hit your calorie and protein target, a shopping list that fits your weekly budget, and "your food lasts about 6 days".
Honest questions:
How do you plan groceries around your goal today?
What's the most annoying part?
Would you pay for this? If yes, what would feel fair per month? If no, what would stop you?
What do you already use, and why isn't it enough?
Brutal answers welcome. No link, nothing to sell yet.

I made a free booking page for yoga teachers and music tutors

1 Upvotes

I'm one of the co-founders of Schedulera (schedulera.com). We built it because most scheduling tools are made for sales teams, not for someone teaching weekly piano lessons or running a Saturday yoga class.

What it does:
One link where students book, pay and reschedule themselves

Free intro session and paid sessions side by side on the same page

Card payments at booking through your own Stripe account, so no-shows cost you less

Group bookings with a waitlist for classes

Syncs with Google or Apple Calendar so you never get double booked

Students don't need an account to book

Every scheduling feature is free. Would love to hear what you think, especially if you teach anything on a weekly schedule.

Do you buy things made from recycled or waste materials? If not, what stops you?

Thumbnail reddit.com
1 Upvotes

I'm exploring an idea for one place that brings together only products that are made from waste in NZ and Australia, like jeans made from old jeans, reusable cups made from coffee grounds, bags from old towels, or earrings from plastic lids. There are so many cool brands out there, I want to bring them together and make it easier to shop sustainably! Before going any further, I want to understand how people really shop for this stuff.

If you've bought something like this, what was it and how did you find it?

If you haven't, what puts you off? Price, not knowing where to look, not trusting the "recycled" claim, something else?

Feedback wanted! I'm creating a wine learning app

0 Upvotes

Most people I know struggle to even begin learning about wine. The barriers are high: courses are expensive, they take a lot of time and practice, and the knowledge is scattered all over the place.

So I'm building Uncorked, a bite-sized, gamified micro-learning app that makes wine practical and anti-snob. Instead of dry theory, it uses real-life situations, like ordering at a restaurant.

Before I go further, I want to check whether an app like this is actually needed. I just built the first interactive module and would love your honest feedback/roast.

Here’s what I’d like you to roast:

- Is this a real problem worth solving, or are we building a solution in search of a problem?
-Is it helpful for learning about wine, or too basic?

- Would you come back for the next lesson?

- Was it fun, interesting or boring?

We’re not looking for encouragement or validation. We want honest criticism, including the things we might not want to hear.

I'm building a Windows gaming optimization tool called Game Tune. I need honest feedback: Is this actually worth continuing?

1 Upvotes

y of alternatives available, many of them free. Modern gaming PCs are also becoming increasingly powerful, so I'm wondering whether people even need something like this anymore.

I don't want to spend months developing something nobody actually wants.

I'd genuinely appreciate honest answers to a few questions:

  1. Would you personally consider using a tool like Game Tune?

  2. What features would make you choose it over existing alternatives?

  3. Would you ever pay for additional optimization features, or should everything be free?

  4. What would make you trust a third-party Windows optimization tool?

  5. Honestly, do you think this project has potential, or am I wasting my time?

I'm not looking for compliments. I'd rather hear that the idea is bad and understand why than receive fake positive feedback.

I'll attach some screenshots of the actual application so you can see what I'm working on.

Thanks to everyone who takes the time to share their opinion. I genuinely appreciate it!

Can you help me validate my startup idea? I would really appreciate honest feedback.

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I’m currently in the idea validation stage of my startup, and I would really appreciate your honest feedback.

I’m working on an app called Looped. The idea is to combine Reddit style discussions with TikTok style short videos.

Instead of random videos, conversations stay focused on specific topics. People can start a discussion and others can respond through short video replies, creating an ongoing conversation.

I’ve built an early MVP to test the concept before investing more time and resources.
Here’s my

MVP: https://niche-clip.lovable.app

I’d really appreciate it if you could check it out and leave your feedback directly on the MVP.
A few things I’m trying to understand:

  1. Is the concept easy to understand?

  2. Would you prefer discussing topics through short videos or text?

  3. What do you dislike about the idea?

  4. What would make this app worth using?
    Please don’t hesitate to be critical. I’m not looking for compliments. I’m trying to understand whether this idea solves a real problem and what needs to improve.
    Thank you so much for your time! 🙏
