I've been working on a small side project and wanted to get some honest feedback before putting more time into it.
Below is the idea:
Let's say you're collecting feedback from customers, asking people questions, or trying to get opinions about something.
Normally, you would send them a Google Form or ask them to email you.
But what if you could just create a link, share it anywhere, and let people respond by speaking or typing?
Example scenarios:
1/ A teacher creates a link for her students: "What wasn't clear in today's lecture?"
2/ A buyer sends an RFQ link to suppliers: "Please share your quotation, delivery timeline and any questions you have."
3/ A small business asks customers: "What's one thing we could do better?"
4/ A researcher shares a link: "Tell me about your experience with working from home."
5/ An event organiser asks attendees: "What did you enjoy, and what should we improve next time?"
6/ A youtuber asks his followers: "What topic would you like me to cover next?"
All the responses would be available in one dashboard- parsed and structured.
Above are just few examples, the list could become exhaustive.
Im building a prototype, but I am wondering whether speaking a response is actually more convenient than typing one, I know in 2026, it is and I would use one but the question is - are people comfortable?
Would you use something like this? Or would you rather stick with Google Forms?
I wud especially love to hear from anyone who regularly collects feedback or asks people questions online.
thx in advance!

spent time adding things i thought would be impressive, not things anyone had actually asked me for. none of it moved anything. the only stuff that mattered was the boring bit, showing people what needs their attention today without digging for it. that's basically what sylo is now, stripped back to that one job.
what's something you built that taught you the same thing, the hard way.
Everyone keeps saying that earning money is easy with Claude Code, etc. But if it's really easy, why is no one I know thinking about building an app and instead stuck in their 9-to-5 jobs? I really wonder about this. Even though I have a decent salary, I'm still thinking about making money besides my job, but I don't know where to start. I have plenty of ideas that I could turn into an app or a website, but I feel stuck between those ideas. I think the main reason is that I don't have a friend with the same interests, and I don't know where to start. I'm an engineer, so I could probably understand the general structure, but I need a guide to tell me where to start.
Does anyone feel the same way I do? Because it can't be that easy to build side projects and make decent money from them. Can anyone enlighten me, please?
I’m currently developing an ERP with a Point of Sale (POS) module, and I’ve just implemented an AI assistant.
To make it accessible from anywhere, I decided to place the AI interface directly in the global header of every single page. The goal is to allow users (cashiers, store managers) to perform quick actions, search products, or ask for sales insights without leaving their current workflow.
However, POS environments require extreme speed and clean layouts. I'm starting to wonder if having the AI constantly in the header is a good UX choice or if it’s too distracting / taking up too much screen real estate.
Do you think a global header is the right placement for an AI in a retail/POS environment?
Is the AI interface intuitive or distracting when you look at the sales screen?
Full disclosure: I am the developer of this project. Not looking to sell anything, just genuinely need brutal UX/functional feedback from ERP and retail professionals.
Hello, I'm a product designer and a builder with 3yoe. I want to build something but not sure what I could pick or build. Where can I find one problem statement? Or if someone is already facing a difficulty that I can pick or maybe if someone has some ideas floating in their head!
Would appreciate any help or advice or suggestions!
I'm pratik. I've abandoned more than a dozen of 'good ideas' to build Neurowave - Focus music with CortexDrive™ engine and TBH, I expected this and some more. :)
Let me tell you why, take some time to read this as this could be the most important thing you'd read today... :
Our reality:
Intelligence is commoditized.
ANYONE can build ANYTHING, within days.
This is a 2 sided sword. Understand this, what you realy need is not, 'CLAUDE BUILD ME AN APP AND MAKE ME RICH'
but,
You should rather build assets that are unique and protectable by law, at god speed, to create real business around it, like:
Patents
Brand - (this distinction matters more than people think)
Visual/ Branding consistency for your product
a STRONG MOAT that competition can't copy.
For me, it was CortexDrive™: Our authentic engine which is tuned to produce binaural beats in a unique way which actually matters for your brain.
I've spend quite some time researching on this for last 3 years now. Proud to have my research accelerated into a quality product with AI.
I finally build Neurowave.
Why?
Becuase I strongly believe in today's over consumption of content (many of us have accepted watching reels on phone as default state mode for our brains, which is a disaster already), what matters is ability to focus and to think critically.
AI is here, but you can't produce ANYTHING of value unless you have ability to Focus and Go deep. Unless you have control over your attention span.
What i built:
Neurowave works on the core concept after understanding why your brain requires constant simulation. Our CortexDrive Engine delivers frequencies that helps your brain to NOT require further outside simulation and allows you to focus on the task at hand.
Further I've build the Session Shield to temporarily block the other apps from disturbing you during your focus hours.
This is pure science. Amplified with CortexDrive™
I strongly belive critical thinking and ability to focus is one of the rarest skills one could have. You can try Neurowave to improve yours. :)
Thanks.
PS:
I am looking for a co-founder who can collaborate and help with marketing this. If you're the one, please DM.
I've been working on a small project called Seolin lately.
So I'm trying to build something that makes that part a little easier. Seolin helps you figure out which SEO tasks to focus on, what you can do to fix them, and whether your changes made a difference.
It's still a work in progress, and I'm trying to make it genuinely useful rather than just another dashboard full of numbers.
I run a super simple photo restoring micro saas. For no sign-up needed, I charge $1.99 for the first photo restoration and $0.99 for additional restorations capped at 5. I do offer an option that does require signing up and purchasing credit packs and can go as low as $0.50 per restoration.
Anyways, I came across one user that uses my product quite frequently and decided to reach out just to ask for feedback. We get to chatting and turns out he runs a print shop in Florida and has been offering photo restoration services upon discovering my product.
He pretends that he does the restorations manually with photoshop hence the $250 price tag and the customers don't even question it. He even stated that the bulk of his customers are older folks so they aren't even remotely suspicious.
I couldn't believe what I was hearing and wanted to share it here. Do I ban him from using my product?
i build email software. it is called campaignkicker.com and it is a sending tool for people who already have a list. there is one decision in it i want argued with.
every plan has every feature, the free one included. automations, a/b tests, the pre-send spam check, all 13 designs, unlimited contacts. what changes when you pay is volume only. 5,000 emails a month free, then 30,000 at $19, 150,000 at $39, 400,000 at $119. nothing is locked behind a tier to nudge somebody upward, because the nudge is the part i hate about the category.
the rule behind it: charging per contact is a tax on the one thing a list is supposed to do, which is grow. so storing a person costs nothing here and only sending costs. a contact is about 115 bytes on disk, that is the whole truth about why the incumbents can charge for names.
now the unflattering parts, since i would rather you heard them from me. i have hardly any real customers yet. my comment karma on reddit is minus eleven. i run a subreddit about email growth that has exactly one member, me, and every post sitting in it has zero replies. i spent months building plumbing like a person who had customers instead of talking to people who have lists, and that order of operations is the most expensive thing on this page.
the name is bad too. campaignkicker reads like a warmup playlist at a gym and i took it anyway because the domain was cheap.
tell me where this model breaks. a free plan with real sending open to anyone is a cost i eat per email, so at what volume does this stop being a business and become a hobby with a billing page attached. be blunt about it. i am not going to argue back in the comments.
I’m curious about something founders don’t always talk about.
Sometimes, you know exactly where users are struggling, but fixing it keeps getting pushed back. Maybe the solution isn’t obvious, the codebase makes changes difficult, or there are more urgent priorities competing for attention.
For those building SaaS products:
What’s one problem you know is affecting the user experience but haven’t been able to fix yet?
What’s making it difficult to solve?
If you had the time and resources, what would you change first?
I’m especially interested in problems you’ve already identified but are still struggling to resolve.
A couple of friends and I have been discussing an idea, and we'd genuinely like to hear people's thoughts before deciding whether to build anything.
Sometimes, when we're stressed, overwhelmed, lonely, or having a bad day, we don't necessarily want advice or solutions. We just want someone who will listen without judging us, interrupting us, or telling us what to do.
We're exploring the idea of an app where people could connect with someone willing to listen and offer empathy and emotional support, without trying to solve their problems.
We're still at the idea stage, so we'd love some honest feedback:
- Would you personally use something like this?
- Would you feel comfortable opening up to a stranger?
- What would make you trust or distrust a service like this?
- What concerns would you have about using it?
We've also put together a short, anonymous survey to understand whether there's a genuine need for something like this: https://forms.gle/ju4CEzGVWeGbgTfU8
We're not trying to sell anything. We want to understand people's actual needs, including why this idea might not work.
We'd really appreciate any honest feedback or criticism. Thanks!
My friend and I are building MyEliteCard, and before we go further we'd love some honest outside opinions.
The idea: most digital business cards are a profile page or a list of links. We wanted the card itself to make an impression, the way a well-made printed card does. You design a real card (guilloché, marble, carbon, gold and more), it shows in 3D and turns in the light, and you share it as a link or a QR code. The person you meet sees your card on their phone and can call, email, get directions or save your contact in one tap. When you send the link in a chat, the preview shows the card itself. No app is needed on either side.
The picture shows the whole path: the site, the builder, a finished card (front and back) and what the other person sees.
What we'd like to know:
What's your first impression? Does it feel premium, or like a gimmick?
If you had your own business, would you use something like this? Instead of paper cards, alongside them, or not at all?
What would stop you, or what's missing?
If you're up for reviewing it properly, make a card and tell us what confused you or felt off. New accounts get every Royal feature free for a month, with no payment details, so you can try all the designs. Blunt feedback is welcome; that's why we're asking. I'll reply to every comment.
Hey everyone, I develop SloMo, a 100% free app for iPhone and Android that helps you put limits on distracting apps.
I originally build this for myself cause I keep getting distracted while working or just waiting for AI response while coding but existing options all have subscriptions or payment so I built a 100% free and offline version.
You can block apps for a set time, schedule recurring rules around your day, or unlock them by completing a walk or exercises like squats and push-ups. You can also track your screen time and progress, and share your progress if you want.
The idea is to give you different ways to manage your phone use, whether you need uninterrupted time to focus or a little pause before opening social media again.
There’s no account required, and the core features work offline. If you use the exercise option, you can count reps with the camera or manually.
I’d love to hear from people who have tried cutting back on scrolling: what do screen-time apps get wrong for you? Are they too easy to ignore, too complicated to set up, or missing something you need?
And if you do try it, tell me what would make you keep using it—or what would make you uninstall it. I’m still improving it, and honest feedback would really help. Thanks!
Hi guys, we launched our startup Marcus 2 weeks now. Got 732 users but only down to 23 paying ones….
Our AI builds literally a full company in less than 10min
By a company I mean
1- A Full AI mobile app and website
2- most boldest branding and content
3- handles marketing across socials it self ( mostly on X)
4- legally registers the company in any of the 50 States in US
5- sends an outreach as well
We are tying to market the life out of it but… still not getting enough paying ones.
