built moro, a baby tracking app for parents of twins and triplets. we have twin girls and kept mixing up feeds and naps, so i built a one-tap logger that tracks every baby at once. free to start.
looking for feedback on the onboarding, does the twin setup make sense to a first-time user?

Disclosure: I work at Phinite (https://phinite.ai). Phinite is an Agent OS for enterprise AI agents: governance, evals, guardrails, human approvals, and observability live at every agent step, not bolted on afterward.
What I'd love honest eyes on: we keep hearing that teams want to put agents into production but don't trust them with real workloads. For those of you running or building automations: 1) where should governance live, inside the agent, or as an outside layer watching every step? 2) what would you need to see before trusting an agent with a real workload?
Happy to return the favor on your entry.

Hi everyone,
I need three small online sellers to test my tracker for free, they can enter an order, record a part payment and check stock using fictional data and check whether it showing correct or not.
You can give your feedback and there is no obligation to buy
If you are interested, please reply with what you sell and which spreadsheet application you use.
Thank you for your support.

Idea: Wholesale custom Indian-made dresses and home goods to small US boutiques, with no storefront of my own.
My cousin runs a clothing shop in India with in-house tailors and good connections with print factories, so products can be fully customized (dresses, tablecloths, napkins, etc.). I don’t want to run a storefront or website or deal with individual customers, just supply boutiques directly.
I haven’t ordered anything yet and I’m early in figuring this out.
What I’m looking for: honest feedback, brutal is fine. Is this realistic and profitable? What’s the biggest risk I’m not seeing? And how would I find the first few buyers? I am also not sure about rates

u/PeaceOfZen 14h ago edited 10h ago
I think this is realistic, especially since you already have a manufacturing connection. But I'd validate demand before ordering inventory. Pick one niche, get samples made, and reach out to 20-30 boutiques to see what they'd actually buy. Your biggest risk is probably not finding a supplier but getting stuck with inventory boutiques don't want. For pricing, calculate your full landed cost (production, shipping, duties etc.) first, then work backward from the retail price boutiques need to charge to make a profit

u/YogurtclosetWild9981 10h ago
Thank you, this is really helpful. I’m going to start with one niche and get samples made before ordering anything. Appreciate the push to validate demand first!

I write weekly case studies on founders who went from idea to exit. I extract all of the details, lessons, mistakes and unique aspects of each business to find patterns. I just sent out an article from my first 10 case studies, combining data I've collected in a database for those 10 exits to draw conclusions, similarities and to help reverse-engineer what a business worth selling entails. www.readfounded.com

u/PeaceOfZen 14h ago
Really interesting angle! Most people focus on how to start a business but studying the patterns behind businesses that successfully exist could offer some valuable lessons. Curious to see what patterns emerge as you analyze more case studies! Good luck!

Hi all, I'm Woody. I run a one-person project called CrashTest AI, and I'd really value some honest eyes on it.
The problem: AI tools look great in demos. Then you put them on real work and find the gaps: an answer that sounds right but isn't, a "done" task that quietly skipped a step, or so much checking that you'd have been quicker doing it yourself. Most reviews never get that far.
What I do:I take one tool at a time and use it on real business work for a proper stretch. Then I publish what actually happened, good and bad.
How I test:
- Understand what the tool claims and set a baseline
- Push it past the easy cases
- Record what really happens, with evidence
- Score it out of 100 and give a plain verdict
I make the final call on every test myself, not another AI. And no sponsors or affiliate links, so there's no reason to go easy on anything.
What I'd love feedback on: crashtestingai.com
- Does it make sense in the first few seconds?
- Would you trust a verdict like this when picking a tool, and if not, what would it take?
Happy to give feedback on yours in return.
2
u/PeaceOfZen 11h ago
I think the concept makes sense, especially because there's a big difference between an AI tool looking impressive in a demo and actually being reliable in real world use. I'd trust the verdict more if each test included specific tasks, clear success criteria, and evidence of both failures and successes. The scoring methodology matters too, so people can understand how the score was reached rather than just taking someone's word for it

Hi, I had a look. And can only give a personal opinion since I'm not an expert, though trying to do my own digital marketing.
I had no issues understanding the proposal it seemed quite clear to me.
The Page hero may not have convinced me to scroll down though. Though I tend to overload mine... And it depends where the people opening the page are coming from/ what their expectations are.
I usually like to see a pricing tab, though I had no issue finding the price.
DOn't know if its there but it seems you are trying to convince people of the value based on the applied method. At the same time you are putting yourself out there as the one performing the service. I would expect some information why you are the "best for the job"/ well suited specifically. Best would maybe be social proof? No idea what makes the most sense.Best of luck anyway! Hope you find your Market.

Building a $99 lab panel where a physician actually writes you a plan. Would you pay? Why not?
Hey, I want to get some honest user feedback. I'm the founder of u-wellness, a small clinic in Clovis, CA.
How labs works: you pick a panel (the Essential panel is $99 right now, 45+ markers), get your blood drawn at a lab near you, and a physician reviews every marker and writes your care plan. You pay once, no subscription, anywhere in California.
Lots of people say "sounds useful" and then don't buy. I want the real reasons:
- Would you use it? Why or why not?
- What's annoying about getting labs today?
- Is it price, trust, "my doctor does this already," or something else?
- What would make you pay?
Brutal answers welcome.
1
u/PeaceOfZen 11h ago
I think the physician written care plan is the most valuable part. Getting lab results is one thing but understanding what they actually mean and what to do next is another. My biggest concerns would be whether the plan is personalized and actionable, and whether the $99 includes everything with no surprise fees. If those things are clear, I could see the appeal

I'm exploring a small e-commerce business focused on solving everyday problems with simple, affordable products.
One thing I'm trying to figure out is whether people would accept slightly longer shipping times in exchange for better prices.
The idea is to collect orders during the week and ship them together from China, with delivery expectations clearly explained upfront.
Would transparent shipping times and lower prices be enough to make you consider buying from a new store?
I'd appreciate honest feedback, especially from anyone who's tried something similar.
1
u/PeaceOfZen 11h ago
I think it depends on the product for something unique or significantly cheaper, I wouldn't mind waiting a couple of weeks, as long as the shipping times are accurate

Im looking to build a sales CRM basically for tradesmen or maybe whoever might need it
Its has everything a crm, kanban, automations and what not and i set it up myself and it can be designed according to their specific needs like all the features plus it comes with a bot that specialises in pre qualification of leads and meta CAPI so they dont keep getting shit leads
Thats basically it for now
1
u/PeaceOfZen 11h ago
The lead qualification bot sounds like the most valuable feature, especially for tradesmen who waste time chasing bad leads. Have you tested it with any actual businesses yet?

u/Gleb_SV 1d ago
Already built it, so roast is welcome. A site that gives you 3 short interactive lessons a day from fields outside your job. not flashcards, more like small things you play with, e.g. a sim where a traffic jam appears with no crash at all.
$14.99/mo for 20 lessons. Would you pay for this or does learning always lose to free youtube?
noemacreate.org
1
u/PeaceOfZen 11h ago
The interactive simulations are the most interesting part. I think $14.88/month might be a tough sell when Youtube is free though. Have you done your market research? What made you make this? Did you see a gap in the market? I'm curious how you came up with this

u/kerrywillc 1d ago
Sharing mine since it's Feedback Friday. Quick context first: most small brands I talk to have a folder of raw creator videos sitting unused, because cutting them into proper ads (a strong hook in the first 2 seconds, captions, a few variations to test) takes hours they don't have. I built UGC Locker basically for this reason. You upload raw UGC and it cuts it into ready-to-run ad variations. It's free to try at https://ugclocker.com
What I'd love honest eyes on: does the homepage make it clear what it does within a few seconds, and would you feel comfortable uploading your footage? Brutal honesty welcome, and happy to return the favour if you drop yours below.

u/Wanabnerdy 1d ago
I'm not a media buyer, so take this as a regular guy reading your homepage. I got what it does in about ten seconds: one raw clip in, a pile of vertical ads out. That's the hard part for most landing pages.
What worked: "up to 20 ready-to-run ads," the free no-card line, and the walkthrough steps.
What I'd tighten: the hero runs a little long before I know if my footage is the right kind. I'd put one plain line near the top like "uncaptioned talking-head or product-in-hand clips." Also, the logo watermark on free downloads is honest, but I'd say so next to the free button so nobody feels tricked after they render. For paid, I'd want to see one ugly raw clip next to the finished ad on the homepage.

a LLM wrapper that is trained on legal information and helps normal regular human beings understand their rights and the law.

u/PeaceOfZen 11h ago
This could be genuinely useful. Making legal information accessible to people who can't afford a lawyer is a great idea

I am thinking of building this for the un-initiated kinds. People that are not very comfortable with LLMs as such. We make it super easy for them in a structured way.

I don't understand this. Why not just train your own model then? It seems that's where this is all going. It's cheaper with less hallucinations

u/ilovecotton33 1d ago
>Why not just train your own model then?
Ummm for the same reason people go to restaurants instead of cooking at home??

u/FatefulDonkey 1d ago
That's my point. You go to a specialized place. You don't go to the grocery store.
Frontier models are those generic big things not particularly good in anything.

Here’s my thing, a project management tool that basically runs on spreadsheets but doesn’t look like one. Been using my own messy system for years and finally trying to turn it into something other people might actually pay for. General impressions welcome, especially on whether the landing page makes sense or if I’m just describing a glorified checklist
1
u/PeaceOfZen 11h ago
The biggest thing is whether it makes managing projects simpler than existing tools. Curious to see how it works!
