I've been working on Afera (app.afera.io) for a while now — it's an all-in-one tool that combines CRM, deal pipeline, accounting, email marketing, and an AI assistant in one app.

We just moved from a 30-day trial to a freemium model, so it's now free to get started (up to 100 contacts, 50 deals, 100 emails/month).

I'm at the stage where I really need real-world feedback from people who actually manage contacts and pipelines day to day — not just beta testers who click around for 10 minutes.

If you try it, I'd love to know:

- What feels clunky or confusing?

- Is anything missing that you'd expect?

- Would you actually pay for it, and if not, why not?

No pressure to be nice about it. Brutal honesty is more useful to me right now.

I built a CRM. Spent 6 months on it. Got testers but almost zero paying clients.

Not because the product was bad. Because I had no idea how to market it. I'm a builder, not a marketer. Every time I tried to post about it I felt like I was shouting into a void.

So I started building something to solve my own problem — a tool specifically for solo founders and freelancers who are great at building but terrible at getting clients.

Not another generic AI content tool. Something that:
\- Takes your product and generates a full outreach + content plan
\- Writes your Reddit posts, cold DMs, Product Hunt copy in a voice that doesn't sound like AI slop
\- Tells you exactly where to post, what to say, and when
\- Built around one goal: getting your first paying clients

Before I build it I want to know — is this just my problem or do others feel this?

If you've ever built something and struggled to get clients not because of the product but because of marketing, drop a comment or DM me. I'm looking for 10 people to shape this with me (free access in exchange for feedback).
