Looking for a technical co-founder to build Arrivl
I'm 18, from Argentina, building Arrivl, a workforce simulation platform for seasonal
industries. Hotel workers, F1 crews, and stadium staff navigate interactive simulations of the
actual venue and practice real scenarios by voice before Day 1. They arrive already having practiced.
Looking for a technical co-founder. Full stack, AI APIs, voice interaction experience. Equal
equity split.
Dm me if interested !

Building the Government OS for next generation of Digital India.
I am excited to reach out about my project, Sushaasan—India’s Government OS for the next generation.
Sushaasan is civic–environmental platform that turns what 500M Indians say across WhatsApp, Instagram, Twitter, and news in 22 languages into actionable intelligence. It collects and analyses large volumes of unstructured data from social media and user inputs, then generates solutions the government can swiftly implement. This empowers citizens and helps government authorities use resources effectively and act as a team to solve civic issues rather than dumping responsibilities.
Yes, you guys must be wondering why the government would use it. The answer is similar to why we use Ola/Uber when we can go outside and find transportation ourselves, or why we use Blinkit/Zepto when we could step out and buy stuff from grocery stores or call the kirana store owner to deliver within five minutes. The reason is convenience and structure, which is exactly what I'm providing to the government — helping them assist citizens in solving civic problems more easily and with less friction.
With this, I'm looking for the most influential Gen Z individuals working in governance, civic policy development, or related fields who have extensive contacts with IAS officers, high government officials, and the AI for India mission to work towards a new era of governance which is coming with GenZ.
Warm regards,
Founder, Sushaasan

My dev partner is asking what to build next, and I don’t have a clear answer
We’re a small team of 4 building a B2B SaaS product.
Right now, one developer is focused on ML/data work. My dev partner (my brother btw) is asking me what he should work on next, and honestly, I don’t have a clear answer.
That feels weird, because usually “not enough dev capacity” is the problem. But we’ve reached a stage where the bigger question is not execution, it’s product direction.
We have users & design partners, we have signals, we have feedback, but we’re still figuring out what the product should become:
- Is this a feed users check daily?
- Is it a workflow?
- Is it a notification layer?
- What actually makes users come back?
- What is the core recurring value?
So now I’m stuck in this awkward moment where giving my dev partner random tasks feels wrong, but not giving him anything also feels like wasted momentum.
Curious how other founders handled this stage. What would you focus on when direction is not clear?
Would love practical advice from people who have been through this.
We have 6 new trials and 1 paid subscription
All I’ve done for now is comment in relevant threads related to “couples apps” and “relationship apps on reddit. I've also engaged on instagram comment threads the past week.
Me (humble dev) and my wife (a couples therapist and much more) have been building this app for way to long now because it’s something totally different and new that has never really existed before in the couples app category.
It’s not a content library or a therapy app, it’s a tool that actually helps you move the needle in real-time, based on Gottman’s Magic Ratio relationship research.
Because the category is so new, there aren’t really any relevant ASO keywords accessible to us yet, so we’re going the partner/influencer route directly and trying ranking for generic key words like 'couples'.
We have basically zero money for marketing at this point, so we want to make a deal based on 50% profit sharing with the right partner. We also have a generous affiliate program to at 20% commissions recurring.
But what we really believe will move the needle is the profit-sharing approach with one major aligned partner who sees the value we are trying to bring to the culture and them too, as money is important ofcourse.
Please use and share if you find value in it. me and my wife are tying to start a chnage in culture with this app.

🚀 I Built an Expense Manager App After Getting Tired of Complicated Finance Apps — Need Honest Feedback!
Hey everyone 👋
I recently launched my own expense manager app called MiSpent and would genuinely love some feedback from real users.
Most finance apps felt either:
too complicated
overloaded with features
or just ugly to use daily 😅
So I built something simpler and faster focused on:
✅ Quick expense tracking
✅ Clean UI
✅ Voice input for adding expenses
✅ Smart analytics & spending insights
✅ Budget tracking
✅ Lightweight experience without clutter
I’m still actively improving it and would really appreciate:
UI/UX feedback
feature suggestions
onboarding experience thoughts
anything confusing or annoying
what would make YOU actually use an expense app daily
Would love brutally honest feedback 🙌
Thanks a lot!
Do you ever wish you could test startup decisions before actually shipping them?
I’m working on a product for founders who want to make better decisions before spending time, money, or traffic on the wrong thing.
The problem I’m trying to solve:
A lot of startup decisions are expensive to validate.
Changing pricing can hurt conversion.
Changing copy can confuse users.
Changing onboarding can reduce activation.
Launching a feature can waste weeks.
Running interviews or A/B tests takes time and often requires traffic you may not have yet.
So I’m building Polyhyle: a simulation platform where you can model a product/business scenario and see how different synthetic user segments might react.
Examples:
- simulate a pricing change
- test positioning and landing page copy
- predict objections before launching
- compare feature concepts
- simulate user reactions to a competitor move
- estimate impact on conversion, churn, adoption, or trust
To be clear: I don’t think simulated users replace real customers.
But I do think they can help founders narrow down bad ideas faster, generate better hypotheses, and decide what is actually worth testing.
I’d love feedback from other founders:
What’s one startup decision you wish you could simulate before making it?
Vollthex is officially live on Google Play!
After months of work, Vollthex is officially on Google Play. It's a live wallpaper app, but the wallpapers actually react to your phone. Battery draining? The wallpaper dims. Missed a call? The aura changes. Day turning to night? The wallpaper follows.
Some wallpapers work as an overlay , keep your own photo as the background and let the animation breathe on top of it.
Not loops, not gifs , real-time, every frame.
Give it a try, maybe you'll like it, maybe you won't.

Looking for 100 serious developers for paid beta testing of an Al powered IDE (early access)
Hi everyone,
I’m the founder of Unicoder, an AI-powered IDE we’ve been building with a very clear goal:
To deeply integrate AI into the development workflow with real project context, instead of isolated chat responses where you describe what you want, and it builds at the speed of thought.
Unicoder is designed to help developers:
• Understand large codebases with multi-file context
• Debug using natural language
• Refactor entire files or modules
• Generate and explain code with real project awareness
• Speed up development without losing control
We’re currently pre-launch and around 70% product-complete.
Instead of opening this as a free beta, we’re intentionally looking for only 100 paid beta users.
Why paid?
Because we want:
• Serious developers who already invest in tools
• Honest and critical feedback
• Long-term users who genuinely care about quality
What the first 100 users get:
• Paid early access to the beta
• Lifetime discounted pricing
• Direct influence on the product roadmap
• Private feedback channel with the founding team
This isn’t for everyone.
If you’re only looking for free tools, this probably won’t be the right fit and that’s completely okay.
But if you’re a developer or founder who:
• Already uses AI tools in development
• Values productivity and speed
• Wants to help shape a serious product from the beginning
I’d love to connect.
Join the waitlist to become one of the first early users building with Unicoder.

I put out an app for the first time, but I have no idea about how I should get users
I got told multiple times to "find the people you built this for and market to them" Sure, there are some reddit communities that could have potential users, but I cannot post okay, download my app right now it's for you, because these communities aren't for marketing. About social media marketing I have no idea how to make videos or what about that would grab people's attention. Genuinely what do hell do I do? How do other people promote?
P.S. I don't want anyone commenting here their SaaS for marketing or DMing me about how they have a startup that helps startups, I don't care, thank you.

I want to help companies see exactly where their AI budget is going — feature by feature, team by team. Would you pay for this?
Hey everyone,
I'm a founder validating a service idea and I need honest feedback from people who've actually shipped AI products. Not looking to promote anything, genuinely trying to figure out if this is worth building into a proper business.
Here's what I keep hearing from teams running LLMs in production:
Their AI bill shows up as a single line item. $8K, $15K, $22K. no idea which feature drove it, which team spent the most, or whether staging burned more tokens than production. Finance asks engineering to explain the bill. Engineering shrugs. Nobody has answers until someone manually digs through API logs for two days.
Meanwhile, there are no spending caps. A developer testing a prompt in a loop burns $2K overnight. A new feature quietly 3x's token usage after launch. Nobody notices until the invoice hits.
The service I'm considering:
I come in, set up cost attribution infrastructure on your stack — so you can see AI spend broken down by feature, team, and environment in real time. Budget guardrails with alerts so nobody accidentally blows through limits. Weekly cost review to catch overruns early and suggest optimisations.
Core offering is a one-time fixed-fee setup (under a week), with an optional recurring monitoring tier for ongoing cost control.
I'm not building a SaaS product. This is done-for-you infrastructure work. I set it up, hand you the runbooks, and your team runs it from there.
I've already talked to a handful of CTOs and the signal so far is that the pain is real but timing matters, it only becomes urgent after a surprise bill or when a second team starts shipping AI features. Trying to figure out if that pattern holds broadly.
Healthtech startup idea (looking for feedback)
EarMe is an AI-powered assistant that helps you understand and manage your healthcare conversations.
Doctor visits can be overwhelming. Important details are easy to forget, medical language can be confusing, and it’s hard to know what to do next once you leave the room. EarMe solves this by turning your visit into something you can actually understand and act on.
With EarMe, you can:
- Record your doctor visit securely and effortlessly as well as upload & view medical documents
- Receive a summary from your visit
- Ask questions to our chat model - just like talking to an expert who remembers your visit that has all the context from your past visits & medical documents
- Get personalised recommendations so you know exactly what to do after your appointment
- Note down questions for next visit
Instead of leaving appointments confused or relying on memory, EarMe gives you clarity, confidence, and control over your health.
Wondering if anyone has any feedback on this for me. And also who I should target first.
Is a vibe coder considered technical? Can‘t code… but can ship products.
Please vote
People said that my app solves a real problem and almost all of the feedback was only positive yet I still have no users. I need advice!
Don't get me wrong I released my app like 2 weeks ago, and since then I've actively talked to people to get feedback and they all said good things, yet they don't download the app and ghost me after replying once. Am I the one doing something wrong, are they lying about liking what I built? How do I even market it in the start if everyone just ghosts me after saying it's amazing?
I am not posting this to beg for users, I'm trying to get advice but I will put the link here so I can know what I'm doing wrong.
I built Memora which is an app that keeps track of your everyday stuff like keys, wallet, headphones etc. You can log items with one tap with the widget you can customize and it saves the location and time. Bluetooth devices get automatically logged every time you connect them to your phone. What makes it different from other apps is that it has an ML system that learns your routines and then it can predict where your things are later if you forgot to log it.
I updated the website a bunch of times based on feedback people gave me and they said it's clear what the app does at first glance but I feel like atp they are just saying it to be nice.
I really, really appreciate any advice on what should I do, the website or the app or anything lol
I just launched my first iOS app this week and didn’t expect much, but it ended up getting around 24 downloads in the first couple days.
I built it mostly out of frustration. I tried a bunch of finance apps and they all kind of felt the same, lots of charts and totals, but I still didn’t really know what I was actually spending money on day to day.
So I made something simpler for myself.
Right now it lets you:
- connect your bank (uses Plaid)
- see individual purchases clearly
- notice repeat spending
- and mark stuff you regret buying later
It’s completely free right now, and I didn’t put any ads in it either. I mostly just want to get real feedback and see if it’s actually useful.
So far I’ve only shared it with a small waitlist and a few posts, nothing crazy.
Still super early and I’m trying to figure out what actually makes someone stick with a finance app long term.
If you’ve tried a bunch of these apps, what made you keep using one vs dropping it?

Trading journal SaaS with 800+ users, need a co-founder to scale
I'll keep this straightforward. I built a trading journal SaaS that helps traders understand why they win or lose, not just track PnL. It's live, it works. I did everything solo up to this point and I'm looking for a co-founder to help scale it into a real business.
The problem it solves:
Most trading journals are glorified spreadsheets. You log your trades, see a PnL number, and learn nothing. Traders pay $30 to $60/month for tools that confirm they lost money without ever explaining why. I lived this problem for a year, paying $50/month for a dashboard that taught me nothing about my actual trading behavior.
What I built:
A journal that tracks behavior alongside numbers. It shows traders which days they perform best, how they react after losses, whether they're following their own rules, and what time of day their decision making falls apart. The kind of insights that actually change results.
Free plan includes 50 trades/month, 2 accounts, full analytics, calendar view, journaling, and discipline tracking. Not a trial, not a teaser, genuinely usable.
Premium at $13.99/month adds AI Trade Coach with personalized insights, AI signals with real-time notifications, chart studio, price alerts, and a mentor dashboard. Competitors charge 2x to 4x more for less.
Built with React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, and Supabase.
Traction:
821 registered users, 764 confirmed. Built a 50+ member Discord community. Multiple organic Trustpilot reviews. Referral system already live with tiered rewards. Every user acquired organically through a Reddit content strategy I developed and refined across 15+ trading subreddits. Total ad spend to date is literally $0.
What I bring:
I'm a trader myself so I understand the user deeply because I am the user. I built the entire product solo, frontend, backend, design, everything. I developed and executed the organic growth strategy that got us to 800+ users. I've managed the community, handled support, shipped features based on user feedback, and created all the content. I know the product, the market, and the audience inside out.
Where I need help:
I've been doing everything alone and it's not sustainable. I recently slowed down on active growth because handling product, marketing, content, community, and support by yourself has limits. The growth engine works, I proved that by bringing in 600+ users during my active push. But it needs consistent execution and I need someone alongside me to do that.
What I'm looking for in a co-founder:
Someone who can own growth, marketing, or product development so we can divide and conquer. Ideally you have experience in one or more of these: SaaS growth and conversion optimization, paid acquisition and performance marketing, content marketing and social media, frontend or fullstack development, community building.
But more than skills I'm looking for someone who's reliable, communicates well, and actually wants to build something long-term. Someone who doesn't disappear after two weeks. Trading experience helps but isn't required.
The deal:
50/50 equity split. Equal decision making. Full transparency on everything, metrics, finances, roadmap, all of it. All revenue split equally. This is a real partnership.
What this is NOT:
This is not an idea on a napkin. The product is built, live, and being used daily by hundreds of traders. This is not a quick flip. I'm looking for someone who wants to build a sustainable business. This is not a job posting. I don't need an employee, I need a partner who's as invested as I am.
Why now:
The trading tools market is growing fast. More people are trading than ever and the tools available are either overpriced or underwhelming. We have a product that users genuinely love, proven organic traction, a referral system ready to scale, and a clear path to revenue growth through premium conversions. The foundation is solid. It just needs two people pushing instead of one.
If this sounds like something you want to be part of, DM me with a bit about your background and what you'd bring to the table. Happy to share the product, walk through the metrics, show the growth data, and discuss everything openly. No gatekeeping.
