I've always been fascinated by the difference between how we see ourselves and how other people actually experience us.

So I built a small experiment called MirrorTest.

You send a link to friends/family/coworkers and they anonymously answer a few short prompts about you, things like:

• "What's something this person probably doesn't realize about themselves?"
• "How do people tend to feel around them?"
• "What's a contradiction in their personality?"
• "What do people trust them with?"

After enough responses come in, the system synthesizes the recurring themes into a kind of social mirror.

Some of the results people have gotten back are surprisingly intense:
"You're the calmest anxious person I know."
"People trust your judgement more than you realize."
"You make people feel understood without trying."

I originally built it as a side project, but people started sharing their results with friends because the outputs felt strangely personal and accurate.

I'm genuinely curious what strangers think of it:

• Does it feel insightful?
• Creepy?
• Meaningful?
• Too flattering?
• What questions would you ask differently?

You can try it here:

Built pattiai.com entirely on Replit. It started as "what if a CRM actually did the work for you" and snowballed into something I'm honestly a little proud of and a little terrified by.

It's an AI front office for service businesses, currently real estate and turf/landscaping. Patti (the assistant and a team of AI agents) sits inside the CRM and:

• replies to missed calls, Yelp leads, and other inbound leads in under 60 seconds
• syncs your Gmail and flags actual opportunities buried in the noise and constructs intelligent replies (like finding comps, using your own inventory, etc)
• finds leads using public data and building move-liklihood scores
• finds move-intent leads from public signals
• finds leads on a map & sends real direct mail postcards from one click
• writes and runs your Google/Bing ads
• has bi-directional sync with Jobber, kvCORE, Follow Up Boss, SkySlope

There's also a free embeddable lead widget, an SEO agent that audits and fixes your site, and a drag-and-drop website builder if you don't have one.

Pricing is annual with a 14 day trial, no card up front. Stripe handles billing. Currently gating on demo as I feel like I built so much it needs a hand-hold walkthrough as to not overwhelm people.

What I actually want:

1. tear it apart (free demo avail on the login page)
2. anything feel slow or broken? I've been hunting nightly crashes for a week (Cloudflare R2 finally fixed one yesterday, lol)
3. what would make you actually sign up vs close the tab

If anyone here is in real estate or runs a lawn/turf crew, the trial gets you full access and I will personally onboard you. Just DM.

Built with: Replit, Express, Postgres on Neon, Drizzle, React/Vite, xAI Grok, a truly unreasonable amount of pg-boss queues. And an ungodly amount of Replit tokens.

Thanks in advance.

Quick context: I'm a high-school dropout who got really lucky and ended up doing engineering and PM work at Facebook, Reddit, Amazon, and Microsoft. I've reviewed thousands of resumes and helped hire hundreds of people.

Two things I've noticed lately:

1. The resume tools that show up first on Google are mostly $20–$30/mo subscriptions aimed at people who *just lost their job*. That's predatory.

2. Most of them are bad. They generate generic AI fluff, can't actually parse a job description, and still produce resumes that get filtered out by ATS systems.

So I built FreeCustomResumes.com. It's free. No signup wall. No "free trial." No credit card. You can build, score, AI-rewrite, and download a resume without ever creating an account.

What's actually in it:

- Build from scratch or import your LinkedIn PDF (no copy-paste hell)

- 4 free themes, no watermarks *i HATE watermarks* and 18 prettier ones for $5 one-time if you want them (no subscriptions, ever)

- Resume scoring out of 100 + a guided wizard that walks you through each weakness one by one

- AI bullet rewriter that's anchored to YOUR actual content (it won't hallucinate accomplishments - built specifically to refuse making things up)

- 25 free AI rewrites per resume, which covers any normal session. There's an optional $4 unlock if you're a power user iterating forever, but you'll almost certainly never see it.

- JobSnipe (beta) - paste a job description, it tailors your resume + writes a matching cover letter in about 60 seconds

- Anonymous flow so you can try the whole thing before deciding whether to save anything

I'm not asking you to use it. I'm asking what's missing or what's broken. The best feedback I've gotten so far has come from people in this sub.

Tear it apart. If it helps even one person skip the $30/mo trap during a tough stretch, it was worth building.
