Hey 👋
I’m a first-time founder building my first SaaS solo from my bedroom.
I recently launched TraceMate → https://tracemate.art
The idea came from a simple frustration:
Every “learn to draw” tutorial says the same thing — draw a grid and copy it square by square.
It’s slow, tedious, and honestly takes the fun out of drawing.
So I built something simpler.
What it does:
You point your phone at a piece of paper, choose any image, and it overlays the outline in real-time so you can trace it with a pen.
No printer.
No tracing paper.
No light box.
Just your phone + paper.
I set myself a 72-hour challenge to ship this and get my first paying user — still in the middle of it right now.
Would genuinely love feedback:
– Does this feel useful or gimmicky?
– What would make it better?
– Be brutally honest
I’m reading every comment 🙏
