We’re OraXLabs, building YieldGate for US-based AI and SaaS teams with an existing product, active users, and a paid plan or feature.

The idea is to help a user through a sticking point, ask a useful follow-up question, and suggest a paid feature when it fits the task. More complex needs can lead to a sales conversation.

Setup and integration are reviewed together. Submitting a URL requests setup details and does not automatically install anything. We’re not presenting customer deployments or measured revenue gains as evidence.

We’re looking for US-based operators who want to review how this could fit their service:

https://agent-revenue.oraxlabs.io/pilot-preview?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=community&utm_campaign=yieldgate_us_organic_v1&utm_content=indiebiz_intro_v1

Feedback from other operators is welcome: where do your users most often need help before a paid feature becomes relevant?

Found something on a Korean store's website, but can't pay for it or aren't sure it'll arrive before you leave? That's the problem we're working on.

I'm the founder of Seoulve. You send us the product links, options and hotel dates. We check the items, delivery timing and whether the hotel can receive the parcel, then send you an itemized quote. We buy only after you approve and pay.

The review starts with a refundable USD 5 deposit. It goes toward the service fee and stays refundable until we successfully place the store order. The quote shows product costs, our fee and Korean delivery separately.

This is for delivery to a hotel in Korea, so you can collect your purchases during your trip. We don't forward parcels overseas.

If you're planning a Korea trip and already have a few shopping links saved, here's where to start: https://seoulve.com

Canva added 230 free Mattel templates this month, including Barbie and Hot Wheels invitations, social posts and other designs. Before using the artwork in something you're selling, check its source information. In Elements, hover over an item and open the three dots.

Anything labelled Branded Content is for personal use only unless the source information says otherwise. By default, that rules out merchandise for sale and other commercial or promotional uses. Mixing it with regular Free or Pro elements doesn't get around the restriction.

Hey everyone!

I recently launched a company called Ball Armor, and I wanted to share what I've been working on.

Something a lot of men don't realize is that testicular temperature plays an important role in sperm production and male reproductive health.

Research suggests that prolonged exposure to excessive heat can negatively affect sperm quality. Testicular temperature regulation is also part of normal reproductive function.

That's what inspired me to create Ball Armor.

It's a pair of comfortable boxer briefs with specially designed pockets that hold removable, reusable cooling gel packs.

The idea is simple: make targeted cooling easier and more convenient for men who are interested in fertility, reproductive wellness, and managing heat exposure.

Why I created it:

• 🧊 Male fertility: Excessive testicular heat has been associated with reduced sperm quality.
• 💪 Testosterone health: The testes produce testosterone, and temperature regulation is part of normal testicular physiology.
• ❄️ Targeted cooling: Reusable gel packs provide a convenient cooling option.
• 🩳 Everyday convenience: No awkwardly holding an ice pack in place.
• ❤️ Trying to conceive: Designed with men who are paying closer attention to their reproductive health in mind.

While research supports the importance of testicular temperature, Ball Armor itself hasn't been clinically proven to increase sperm count, improve fertility, or raise testosterone levels.

Regular price: $49.99

Launch special: $39.99 with code BALL10.

I'm a small business owner trying to build something genuinely useful, and I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Would you consider using something like this? Any feedback is appreciated!

I'm the developer of Cernidia, an independent iPhone app with an Apple Watch companion. It brings sleep, recovery estimates and energy check-ins together to give everyday choices about rest, movement and focus more context.

It's for people who already collect health data and want a clearer connection between the numbers and their day. Apple Health and WHOOP connections are optional; daily planning can help put a next step into practice.

The current release is free, requires iOS 18+, and doesn't need a Cernidia account.

https://apps.apple.com/app/id6816678341

I'd appreciate feedback on whether the benefit is clear enough for someone discovering it for the first time.

https://www.amazon.com/stores/Bizzikins/page/3AD0ACE9-9671-47B9-AB51-938EE5C5079A?lp_asin=B0GSC67673&ref_=ast_bln&store_ref=bl_ast_dp_brandlogo_sto

Bizzikins Montessori dolls - dolls that open up like a book with different things inside for toddlers to interact with

* $20k revenue/mo

* $5.2k on manufacturing/shipping (COGS)

* $4k FBA fees

* $3k Amazon referral fees (15%)

* Near-zero PPC adspend (they only advertise on their own brand name)

* PROFIT - $7k (~36% margin)

Business overview:

* Their products come in four variations - 3 female dolls and 1 male doll - to appeal to different toddlers

* They sell 100% on Amazon - they have negligible presence on social media (tho it seems like they're actively working on it)

* Business started just 7 months ago - they currently run almost no PPC - perhaps they launched with PPC - we have no data on this - either way, their last month's figures are as above ($7k profit, 36% margin, near-zero adspend)

MOST IMPORTANT - How do they have such a high margin ?

* high margins is king in ecommerce - arguably the most important metric

* I try to only post about businesses with HIGH MARGINS - how do they achieve it?

* This, yet again, is a design-based product. The customers don't pay for the doll's fabric, but rather for their clever DESIGNS. That's how you get high profit margins. A design is painstakingly pamade once but sold many times.

How much does it cost to start a similar business ?

* A single such doll can be manufactured for just $5.40 at a 100 MOQ (an actual quote we got from a supplier from Alibaba) - $540

* Shipping these dolls costs an extra estimated $400

* Advertising on these long tail keywords for a month (estimated 1000 clicks over a month at a standard conversion rate) - "felt busy book" ($96), "busy bag for toddlers 1-3" ($40), "busy book for 1+ year old" ($195), "busy book for 1 year old" ($533) - $864 total

* TOTAL product validation up-front costs - $1,804

How I estimated the figures:

* Revenue = Amazon's "X+ bought in past month" for each ASIN, aggregated

* COGS = founders' own admission - they were on Shark Tank Vietnam

* Adspend = price-per-click * search-volume * estimated-CTR, aggregated for all the search terms they bid for

Sources: Keepa, Similarweb, Jungle Scout, Meta/Google ad library, and Alibaba and Freightos for COGS estimation

I've been letting coding agents do a lot of the heavy lifting lately, and the old PR workflow suddenly feels like the slowest part of my day. A human reviewer skimming a 600-line diff an agent produced doesn't really catch much, and it mostly just rubber-stamps or nitpicks formatting.

What I actually want is something that generates a tailored view for the reviewer. Show me the risky bits, the behavior changes, the stuff a human should actually think about, instead of the raw diff.

Has anyone changed how they do reviews since agents started writing most of the code? Curious what's working.

Hi everyone! I’m exploring a potential commercial product related to medication routines, and I’m looking for honest feedback before investing further in development.

If you manage medication for yourself or help someone else manage theirs, I’d appreciate your perspective—whether your current system works well or you sometimes find it difficult to keep track.

The survey asks about your current routine, then shows an early product sketch for feedback. Critical feedback and reasons you wouldn’t use it are equally helpful.

Survey: https://tally.so/r/5XKYjE

It takes approximately 5–7 minutes. Please don’t include medication names, diagnoses, or identifying medical information. Participation is voluntary, and you can skip questions you don’t want to answer.

Thanks for helping me understand whether this idea would be useful!

Hi, I'm Conor Flynn, founder of Artisan Reality in Bridgeport, Connecticut. We build custom software, mobile apps, AI tools, and AR/VR or smart-glasses experiences.

Our own products include Musician Assistant, HandymanAI, Aeriali Pole Dance and Sales Game Changer. They reflect the kinds of practical workflows we work on: organizing performance material, trades learning, fitness practice, and employee coaching.

For fellow independent businesses exploring a software project, a useful starting brief is:

• Who will use it?

• What task are they doing today?

• What would a useful first version make easier?

• What existing systems does it need to connect to?

We can discuss feasibility, prototypes, user experience, development, integrations and pilots. If that fits a project you're considering, see our work and contact us at https://artisanreality.com/contact

Happy to connect with other independent businesses and makers here.

Hi everyone — I’m the developer of ProofCam.

I built it for solo cleaners, handymen and property maintenance workers who photograph completed jobs and send the results to clients.

ProofCam stamps the date, time, location, address and an optional note directly onto photos. No account is needed, and it works offline.

PDF reports need ProofCam Pro (one-time, no subscription).

If you take job photos for clients, how do you currently organize and send them? I’d appreciate hearing what works for you and what feels unnecessarily time-consuming.

Available for iPhone:

Happy to answer questions about the app.

If you sell software, you've probably had this happen. You record a clean product demo, add the zooms and the voiceover by hand, and a week later the UI changes. Now the video is out of date and you're back to doing all of it again.

DemoForge is an open-source tool built for that problem. You write the demo flow once as a script. DemoForge drives your app in a browser, zooms in on every click, narrates each step and exports an MP4. A demo is just a file, so when the UI changes you run one command to record it again.

A few details on how it works:

The auto-zoom comes from the click log, not from computer vision.

Playwright doesn't move a real cursor, so DemoForge draws a smooth one with natural motion.

Each step waits until its narration line has been spoken, so the voice and the screen stay in sync.

For narration you can use a free local voice (espeak-ng). If you want Gemini, ElevenLabs or Mistral voices instead, you'll need your own key for that provider.

It isn't meant to be fully hands-off. There's a browser editor for the final touches: drag zooms, cut, add captions, change the background, then export.

It's also built to work with agents. For example, you can ask Claude Code to record a demo for you.

It's open source under the MIT license and hosted on GitHub. It comes with a todomvc example and docs to get started: https://github.com/DixitRam/Demo-Forge

A question for anyone here who makes demo videos for their own product: how often do you have to redo them, and what part takes the most time? Is it the recording, the zooms and editing, or the voiceover? It would help to hear what actually slows you down.

Disclosure: I'm posting this on behalf of the github.com/DixitRam/Demo-Forge team.

Hi everyone,

I’m the founder of a small software project called CierraFlow, built under Axevora Labs.

I started working on it after noticing a simple problem that many small businesses have:

Customer information is in one place.

Quotes and sales opportunities are somewhere else.

Follow-ups are buried in WhatsApp or personal notes.

And payments are often tracked in spreadsheets.

So I built CierraFlow around a very simple workflow:

Customer → Opportunity → Follow-up → Payment

The goal isn’t to build another complicated enterprise CRM.

I want CierraFlow to be a lightweight tool that a small business owner or small sales team can actually start using without spending days configuring it.

We’ve reached the point where more coding isn’t necessarily the most valuable thing I can do.

I need real users to break it, question it, and tell me what doesn’t make sense.

I’m currently looking for the first 50 beta testers.

The test is simple:

Create a customer

Add a sales opportunity

Schedule a follow-up

Register a payment

Send me your feedback

It’s free during the beta, no credit card is required, and it works directly in the browser.

CierraFlow:

https://cierraflow.vercel.app/⁠�

Axevora Labs:

https://axevora-labs-web.vercel.app/⁠�

I’m especially interested in feedback from small business owners, freelancers, service businesses, workshops, distributors, consultants, and small sales teams.

I’m not looking for compliments.

If something is confusing, unnecessary, missing, or simply bad, I want to know.

And if you already use another tool for this workflow, I’d also be interested in hearing what made you choose it.

Thanks for taking a look.

— Manuel

Founder, Axevora Labs

A long-time user in r/ChatGPT hit this after a model switch: "Some longer term stuff was there, anything from the last few months, all gone. Literally overnight." The chats were still there. The model just stopped drawing on them. One reply put it well: "You haven't really lost the data; you've lost reliable access to the context it represented."

Someone else hit a different wall. "In 2024 I was able to use a chat for 7 months straight", and now a new chat tells them memory is full after 8 messages.

For people who lean on ChatGPT or Claude for their business:

• What does it know about your business right now that you'd hate to explain again? Clients, pricing, your voice, past decisions?
• Do you keep a copy of that anywhere outside the app? A doc, exported chats, nothing?
• Has a model update or a memory change already cost you something?

Background since someone will ask: I used to burn hours re-briefing AI tools, and I'm building a fix where that context lives in the cloud, outside any one app, and every AI tool you use reads it. No link. Would you pay for that, or is a summary doc you paste in enough?

When an idea or solution has a clear plan but still needs to move forward, the hardest part can be carrying out the work and keeping the pieces connected.

You may already have research, notes, requirements, workflows, or an action plan, but need hands-on help turning the agreed direction into practical work.

That is the kind of work I help with through Velacanto & Co.

With BUILD, I help carry out the agreed parts of the plan once the direction is clear and the work is within scope.

That can include:

• Developing workflows defined in the plan • Improving an agreed website page or experience • Creating documentation that supports implementation • Completing permitted follow-up or coordination • Refining agreed deliverables within the included revision round • Preparing a clear handoff and next steps

The goal is to help move a clear plan into practical, usable work without expanding beyond the agreed scope.

BUILD starts at $650.

Payment covers the agreed work performed and does not guarantee a specific business, website, funding, launch, or other outcome.

I’m the developer of Gramwise, an Android calorie and macro tracker that has just launched publicly on Google Play. I’d like to introduce it and get feedback on the positioning.

The core experience is a food diary you can start without creating an account. Built-in food search and manual logging work offline, and users can track calories, macros and weight, save foods and recipes, and back up their diary to a file they control. Barcode product lookup needs internet.

The main paid feature I want to communicate is Adaptive Plan. Your initial calorie target is an estimate; as you log food and weigh-ins consistently, the plan compares recorded intake with your weight trend and can gradually refine the target within safety bounds. Routine adjustments include undo, while larger changes ask for approval. It needs enough consistent records to be useful.

Business model: the core diary is free with ads. An optional Pro subscription adds Adaptive Plan, photo and nutrition-label scanning, and other features. Scans require internet, and estimates can be corrected before saving. Local prices are displayed before purchase.

Here’s a 22-second silent product demo using demo data: https://www.reddit.com/user/Informal_Spot_7587/comments/1x96c0w/gramwise_22second_demo_of_the_diary_and_adaptive/

Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tallybite.app

For other independent builders: which value is clearer on first impression — a diary without signup, or targets that adapt to your progress? I’d appreciate blunt feedback on whether the demo explains the difference.

If you sell to Canadian businesses, plan sales territories in Canada, or are looking at entering the Canadian market, you've probably had to build your own prospect lists. That usually means a lot of searching and copying, and the lists still come out patchy.

Northline is a business intelligence service focused only on Canada. It calls itself verified Canadian business intelligence for sales, territory planning and market entry. It offers sales prospecting data on Canadian businesses for salespeople, business developers and marketers.

Here is what the data covers right now:

• 1,468,666 prospecting locations across 239 categories
• Phone: 92.9% coverage, 1,363,762 records with a phone number
• Email: 49.3% coverage, 724,338 business emails
• Website: 84.5% coverage, 1,240,875 company websites
• All 1,468,666 locations are Google Maps-ready
• Corporate information is included where it's linked

The largest categories are Home service (92,504), Restaurant (75,177), Personal or beauty service (63,030) and Real estate service (55,485).

On the site you can pick a category and a province or territory to see the record count and contact coverage for that slice. That helps if you're sizing a territory or checking whether a niche is worth going after. There's also a company sample you can look through to see what a record contains. Pricing is on a separate Pricing page on the site.

You can find it here: https://canadabiz.negitama.com

A question for anyone who prospects in Canada: when you build a list, which matters more to you, email coverage or phone coverage? And are there categories or regions where you've found good data hard to get? Honest answers would help the team decide what to work on next.

Disclosure: I'm posting this on behalf of the canadabiz.negitama.com team.

I built MileProfit alone: a take-home tracker for ride-hailing and delivery drivers. One total per app at the end of the day, then what's left after fuel, fees and tax set-asides, and which of their own clients still owe them. Live in Portugal first, then the UK, Ireland and Spain.

The business:

• Free to start, for good: unlimited logging and export, the last 30 days, 2 apps, 3 clients.
• Pro at €4.99/month or €49/year, 14-day trial with a card.
• No free Pro giveaways. A few are given by hand to testers, so I can still see who actually pays.

The launch, six weeks, organic only:

• Driver Facebook groups in Portugal (ask the admin first, say I built it, prices only in replies).
• Reddit: builders for feedback first, then UK driver subs.
• Fleet operators and accountants who work with drivers.
• Every link has its own utm_source, and I judge each one by drivers still logging 7 days after signing up, not by sign-ups.

Questions:

1. Card-required trial for a €5/month B2C app: right, or does it kill conversion?
2. Is day-7 logging the right metric to judge a channel, or would you use something else?
3. What am I not seeing?

https://mileprofit.app/?utm_source=r-indiehackers

What it is: a service that does the Reddit part of a social-media hire's job.

How it works:

• You give us your website and who your customers are.
• We find fresh threads where someone is asking for what you sell, in communities whose rules allow it.
• We write a reply that answers their question first and mentions you only where it fits, with a plain line saying it's posted on your behalf.
• We post it during your business hours and send you every link, plus a short wrap-up each day.
• Replies a moderator removes don't count, and we replace them.

Pricing:

• 3 free posts first, no card
• 7-day Pilot: $49 for up to 50 posts and replies
• Monthly plans from $199 for 300

Nothing renews automatically.

Who it's for: small businesses and makers whose customers ask for recommendations on Reddit: software, services, local trades with an online side, games, apps, shops.

Who it's not for: anyone who wants hidden promotion, fake reviews or upvotes. We don't do any of that.

I'd love blunt feedback on the offer and the page.

(Disclosure: I run ThreadFox.)

Disclosure: I represent HONGTE, an electronic-component supplier in Shenzhen. We offer excess inventory evaluation for businesses with surplus, obsolete or overstock components.

For a small hardware business, a production change can leave useful parts on the shelf. Before approaching a potential buyer, a clearly structured stock list helps both sides understand exactly what is available.

Here is a practical checklist:

• Full manufacturer part number: Include every suffix. Similar markings can refer to different packages or specifications.
• Manufacturer and quantity: Use the manufacturer name and identify whether quantities are counted or estimated.
• Date codes and separate lots: Keep different lots on separate rows where possible.
• Packaging and condition: Describe sealed reels, opened reels, trays, tubes or loose parts accurately.
• Available records: Note any existing purchase or traceability documents; distinguish documented information from assumptions.
• Location and photos: Identify the country or region and provide clear label and packaging photos.

Keep the original spreadsheet, use consistent column headings, and avoid combining several different parts into one line. Remove confidential customer or project information before sharing it publicly.

HONGTE evaluates categories including ICs, microcontrollers, memory, MOSFETs, IGBTs, connectors, sensors and passive components. You can submit a stock list or clear photos through our inventory page:

https://hongte-ic.com/sell-inventory

Submitting inventory starts an evaluation; it is not a purchase commitment. Any purchase scope, inspection arrangements, shipping instructions and payment terms must be agreed in writing before shipment.

Hey everyone,

I got tired of doomscrolling and ordinary screen-time blockers that are way too easy to bypass with a single tap.

So I built TaskLock — a native Android app that forces real physical friction before unlocking distracting apps.

How it works:

- You lock target dopamine apps (Instagram, YouTube, etc.).

- When you try to open them, the app intercepts and requires physical exercises (like 10 squats).

- It uses on-device ML Kit pose detection via the front camera to verify full-depth reps before granting access. No cheating allowed, and video frames never leave the device.

I'm currently running a 14-day closed beta to qualify for Google Play production release, and I need active testers to try it out and give honest feedback.

Drop a comment or DM me if you'd like to test it out, and I'll send you the Google Group and Play Store invite directly. If you also have an app in closed testing, let me know and I'll test yours back!

Hey everyone! I run InfaWeb, a web design business based in Ontario. I work with business owners who need their first website or want to improve an existing one.

If customers struggle to find your services, use your site on their phone, or figure out how to contact you, I’d be happy to help. I build websites that clearly explain what your business offers and make it easy for visitors to take the next step.

I typically custom-code my projects to fit each business’s design and functionality needs. Hosting and ongoing maintenance are available too if you’d like help looking after the site once it’s live.

Send me a message with a little about your business and what you’re looking for, and we can discuss the scope and a quote :)

You can see my work at infawebdesign.com.
