[u/Witold-Onno]

Startup Name / URL: Simply Onno / https://www.simply-onno.com

Location of Your Headquarters: Berlin, Germany

Elevator Pitch: Simply Onno translates medical documents (discharge letters, MRI reports) into plain language so patients actually understand what’s written about them. It explains what’s already in the document, it doesn’t diagnose. I’m a neurosurgeon and built this because I see patients struggle with exactly that every day.

More details: Efficiency stage. 90,000+ reports processed, freemium model (free summary, €18.50 detailed explanation), bootstrapped, no paid advertising. Two randomized controlled trials at a German university hospital, first results submitted to NEJM AI. I’m co-founder and CMO, still practicing.

Goals this month: Shipping our first native app, iOS first (we’ve been web-only so far), plus improving free-to-paid conversion and first B2B conversations with hospitals and insurers. If you’ve taken a web product to the App Store, I’d love to hear what surprised you, especially around Apple’s review process for health apps and in-app purchase pricing.

Discount for r/startups subscribers: The summary is free for everyone anyway. DM me and I’ll send you a code for the full detailed explanation.

[u/West_Inevitable_2281]

Startup name / URL: Wiseren - https://wiseren.com

Headquarters: Not listed here.

Elevator pitch: I’m building Wiseren for founders working on user acquisition and marketing. It is a private session with an AI advisor about what you’ve built, who you’re trying to reach, what you’ve tried, and where traction is stuck. You receive a written action plan that I review personally.

Stage / role: Closed beta; I’m Dmitriy, the founder.

Goal this month / how r/startups can help: I’m looking for founders with an acquisition problem to try the experience and give honest feedback on whether the plan helps them decide what to test next. I’d also welcome feedback on what the website leaves unclear before you would consider trying it.

Discount for r/startups subscribers: No separate community discount announced.

[u/Numerous_Season4741]

Startup: Docspeed, https://www.docspeed.ai/

Location: New Delhi, India

What we do: Our flagship agent is Docster. Tell it what you need from your documents and it prepares a workflow you can test. This could be extracting invoice details, checking documents against each other or finding answers in files.

Stage: Docspeed is live.

My role: I handle product and development.

Goal this month: Speak to a few businesses doing document work manually and try a small sample with them.

How you can help: Would like to hear which document tasks take up your team's time.

Community discount: None at present.

[u/jim_4067]

Startup Name / URL: Heirloom / https://heirlm.xyz/

Location of Your Headquarters: Nairobi, Kenya.

Elevator Pitch: Heirloom is a self-custodial inheritance platform on Solana. Your crypto keeps earning yield while you hold it, and if something happens to you, it passes to the people you choose, without ever handing your keys to a custodian.

What life cycle stage is your startup at? Validation. We've built the core functionality and gotten feedback that it's something people would actually use.

Your role? Co-Founder & Full-Stack Developer

What goals are you trying to reach this month? Getting people onto our waitlist (https://waitlist.heirlm.xyz/) and into the product to try it out and tell us what they love, what's broken, and what needs to change.

How could r/startups help? We'd love feedback on our UI/UX and onboarding flow.

If you self-custody your funds, try it out on devnet(no real funds needed), and tell us what worked and what caused friction.

Even if you don't hold crypto, you can still walk through the onboarding and tell us where it loses you. One specific ask: if you hit a moment of "wait, is my money actually safe here?", screenshot it and tell us where it happened.

Discount for r/startups subscribers? The platform is completely free on devnet right now.

Habit Pocket - https://habitpocket.io

Location
Toronto, Canada 🇨🇦 (happy to connect with other Toronto/GTA founders, always up to trade notes or share local resources)

Pitch
Habit Pocket is a habit tracker built around one question: what's actually affecting your sleep, mood, and energy? Most trackers just give you a streak and a pat on the back. I wanted something that could tell me why some weeks feel great and others don't.

So instead of only yes/no habits, you can also track numbers (hours slept, cups of coffee, workouts), time of day, and pick-from-a-list options (like "how was your day: rough / ok / great"). Then it lays everything out on a grid and a chart so you can actually see the patterns, like "huh, I sleep worse on days I skip the gym." That's the whole point, finding the correlations hiding in your own data.

A couple of things that make it a bit different: it's got an MCP integration, so you can hook it up to Claude or Chatgpt and just talk to your habits ("which days do I sleep best?" and it answers from your real numbers). It's private, no gamification, no badges guilt-tripping you into a streak. And it runs as a web app and on iOS, so you can start in the browser without installing anything.

More details
Launched ~1 month ago (web + iOS live). Actively looking for my first paid users. Solo founder & developer.

Goals this month
Improve my SEO/discoverability, and increase conversion from my landing page. I get some visitors, but not enough are turning into sign-ups or Pro users, and I want to sharpen both the top of the funnel and the page itself.

Discount for community
Use code THX35 for 35% off any plan (works on both the monthly Pro subscription and the $49 lifetime). Thanks for taking a look 🙏

[u/Soggy_Control7953]

Startup name URL: AdScanVideo https://adscanvideo.com/

Founder location: Uzbekistan.

Pitch: I am a content creator building an upload-based AI video reviewer. Choose shot breakdown, ad intelligence, podcast notes, tutorial steps, summary or other focused modes, then review a structured report alongside the footage.

Stage role: Early public product; solo founder. I built this for my own review workflow and am now testing which outputs are useful to other creators and marketers.

Goal this month: Learn whether people want broad summaries or a shortlist of specific moments they can replay. A useful test is a clip with two similar actions, where only one has the dialogue you are looking for. I would welcome feedback on whether the report helps find the correct occurrence.

Offer: One free on-screen analysis daily, no signup, up to 10 minutes 200 MB. Paid credits include exports; Monthly Premium is $39.99 for 20 analyses per paid month, up to 45 minutes 200 MB. There is no separate subreddit discount.

Startup Name / URL: Complynt by H&V Facility Solutions : https://www.hvfsusa.com

Location of Your Headquarters: Jacksonville, Florida

Elevator Pitch/Explainer Video:
HVFS Complynt Solves the cost problem Small and Medium Sized Buisnesses face when needing compliance. Complynt automates compliance for organizations that have to prove security across multiple frameworks. It maps controls, collects evidence, and monitors continuously across CMMC, NIST, SOC 2, and 150+ frameworks : on FedRAMP High + DoD IL5 authorized infrastructure : with expert advisory built in. The core idea is "map once, satisfy many": one set of evidence supports many compliance programs instead of rebuilding the same work for each one.

We pair FedRAMP software with industry leading advisors to bring enterprise grade compliance for the lowest possible cost.

More details:

• Lifecycle stage: Validation : product is live, refining with early customers and working toward product/market fit.
• My role: Founder.

What goals are you trying to reach this month?

• Pressure-test positioning with founders and operators in regulated industries (federal contracting, construction, facility/OT environments).
• Does "map once, satisfy many" resonate, and where does compliance automation sound like hype vs. genuinely useful?
• How r/startups can help: honest feedback on the product concept and where the recurring pain actually lives : scope, evidence collection, ownership, or keeping controls current.

Discount for r/startups subscribers?

• Free 1-hour consult on compliance : https://www.hvfsusa.com

MatchPod
https://apps.apple.com/app/apple-store/id6775024457?pt=128227813&ct=reddit_startups&mt=8

Location
Bengaluru, India

Elevator Pitch
MatchPod is a free flatmate matching app focused on compatibility rather than primarily showing flat listings. We match around things that actually affect living together, such as sleep schedules, cleanliness, guests, social energy and lifestyle.

Stage
Validation. iOS is publicly live. Google Play production access has been granted and Android is being prepared for public release.

My role
Founder.

What I’m trying to achieve this month
Get more real users through the matching flow, understand where onboarding loses people, test whether organic social traffic converts into installs, and launch Android publicly.

How could r/startups help?
I’d especially value feedback from founders who have grown local consumer marketplaces or two-sided matching products without relying heavily on paid acquisition.

Discount
None needed. MatchPod is free.

Product Signals (https://productsignals.app)

Product Signals helps founders turn beta feedback into a clear product roadmap and share it with users when they're ready.

Based in Australia.

Solo founder.

Goal this month is to reach 10 paid sign-ups, post the 14 day free trial.

For people in this community, happy to provide a 50% lifetime discount to the first 100 people to DM me.

[u/Far-Statistician3947]

90% of these are AI or Workflow dashboard type projects with minimal barrier to entry. Is this what people mean about "starting a business".

[u/deleted_user_0000]

Name: Meridian

Location: Greater NYC Metropolitan Area

Lifecycle stage: Discovery, MVP v0 is complete and v1 is around ~85-90% done.

Role: Founder and CTO

Immediate goals: Product Launch by Sep 2026, 4-figure MRR by Jan 2027

VC-backed: No, completely bootstrapped for now.

Selecting a plot of land for development takes weeks, if not months, and thousands of dollars to hire consultants and engineers to make sure the land is suitable.

Meridian will compress that process into just 5 minutes.

Meridian is a desktop GeoAI tool that uses agents to automate site feasibility analysis, built for real-estate developers, urban planners, and civil engineers. Users can draw parcels on the map and receive full, detailed site feasibility reports in just 5 minutes that cover everything from location to environmental risks to zoning compliance checks, translated from legalese into plain English.

If you're a developer worried about your data, rest assured that with Meridian, you retain 100% control over your proprietary data and none of it ever leaves your machine.

If you're a small/mid-market real estate development/urban planning firm in a major metropolitan area, let's talk.

[u/RyzeBlaziken]

Startup Name: Scanity; https://scanity.dev/

HQ: NYC

Elevator Pitch: With AI coding moving so fast, many internal bugs and vulnerabilities get missed. Scanity scans codebases to find security vulnerabilities.

More details: We have 2 main features: GitHub Actions and repository scanning. With GitHub Actions, you have seamless integration with all of your repositories. The moment you open a PR, Scanity runs a scan and finds any vulnerabilities. If there are any, it blocks the merge and allows you to fix them instantly. Repository scanning allows you to scan certain files, or even the whole repository, and provides the fix for each finding as well.

Now you may ask, why can't we run this within Claude or Codex? We stand out because we build containerized test units for each finding to verify the issue. So there is no chance of AI hallucination. This is a very early stage, and we have plans to grow even further, with many more features and integrations.

My role: Founder and Full-stack engineer.

How could r/startups help?
r/startups can help me find my initial users so I can gain user traction and get the feedback that we need.

Discount for r/startups: DM me if you or your team want to subscribe. I'll give Pro for a free month as long as you provide feedback.

[u/Earmark_AI]

Startup Name / URL

Earmark - https://www.tryearmark.com/

Location

San Luis Obispo, California

Elevator Pitch

Most AI meeting tools give you notes, then leave you with the work.

Earmark is a botless desktop app that turns conversations into decisions, requirements, tickets, follow-ups, and updates. It also saves local Markdown you can move directly into Claude, Codex, Cursor, v0, or Linear.

We think notes and summaries are the Betamax phase of meeting AI. The meeting should produce the work.

More details

Stage: Validation. The product is live with paying teams, and we’re refining the experience and positioning as we work toward repeatable product-market fit.

My role: Co-founder and CEO.

Goals this month

We just launched Earmark for Startups and want to onboard the first group of early-stage teams. We’re especially interested in learning which conversation-to-work workflows save founders the most time.

How r/startups could help

Try it during real customer, product, or team conversations and give us the blunt version: does it eliminate the post-meeting “second shift,” or just create more AI output?

Discount

Qualifying startups get Earmark Pro free for three months for up to 20 people: https://content.tryearmark.com/startups

[u/Goatman117]

Startup Name / URL
Narrato, narrato.tech

Location of Your Headquarters
Perth, Australia

Elevator Pitch
A fully local Mac app for voice, running top of the range AI models on your device. Pay once, you own it forever. No account, no sending your voice or text off to any server, it works just as well and fast without wifi.

Features text cleanup, and clipboard context capabilities which makes it especially powerful for vibe coders and developers.

More details:

• Life cycle stage: Validation. MVP is well past launched, it's in paid beta with revenue and a steady changelog, refining the product toward 1.0 and product/market fit.
• Role: Co-founder and lead developer

What goals are you trying to reach this month?
Grow the paid beta and pressure-test the positioning (local-first, one-time purchase) with users outside my existing channels.

How could r/startups help?
I'd love input from anyone who sells one-time-purchase software in a subscription-dominated category: how did you price your 1.0, and did "pay once" actually convert skeptics or just attract bargain hunters? Feedback on how the landing page communicates the on-device angle is also welcome.

Discount for r/startups subscribers?
The current $29.99 beta price is effectively the discount, it's the early-supporter price and it locks in permanently, including the 1.0 release. There's a 7-day free trial and a 14-day no-questions refund, so trying it costs nothing.

Startup Name / URL -

ListPipeline https://listpipeline.com

Location -

Dehradun, India

Elevator Pitch -

I'm building ListPipeline because I got tired of seeing recruiters and B2B sales teams rely almost entirely on job boards.

The idea is simple: instead of waiting for a company to advertise that it's hiring, track the public signals that often happen beforehand—things like tech stack changes, funding announcements, infrastructure upgrades, and expansion activity.

The goal is to help people start conversations earlier, not after everyone else has already found the opportunity.

More Details -

Stage - Pre-revenue (currently validating)

Role - Solo founder.

Right now I'm focused on improving the quality of the data, figuring out which signals are genuinely useful, and talking to potential users before I spend time building more features.

Goals this Month

• Get my first paying customer. • Have conversations with recruiters and agency owners. • Improve the weekly signal reports based on feedback. • Learn what people actually want instead of assuming.

How could r/startups help?

If you've worked in recruiting, agency sales, or outbound, I'd genuinely love your opinion.

What signals have actually helped you identify companies that were about to grow?

And just as importantly—which ones turned out to be a complete waste of time?

Discount for r/startups subscribers

If anyone here wants to take a look, I'm happy to send this week's company signal list free. No sales pitch—I'd much rather get honest feedback while I'm still building.

[u/jme1714]

Hi everyone! We’ve built a retirement planning tool called Path and it’s ready to launch. I’m looking for anyone who’s willing to test it and share their honest feedback.

Path helps you take into account your complete financial picture and generates a projection and plan for when you can realistically retire or reach financial independence. Path differs from ProjectionLab, Boldin, FiCalc, or Empower because it is simpler and we’ve tried to make this the most user-friendly tool out there.

On our website (https://usepath.finance/) we have an interactive demo. For anyone who wants to create an account we have a free access code: EARLYPATH you can enter at checkout. 

Please let me know if you have any questions, we’d love your feedback.
Thank you!

Startup Name / URL: CTRL Researchhttps://research.ctrltheclick.com/

Headquarters: Hong Kong. Built by CTRL the Click.

Elevator Pitch: I'm making CTRL Research mainly for founders and small marketing teams. You can put in a website URL, then check things like website health, search visibility, and competitor data. After that you can choose what findings to put into a report.

The product is already live now. What I’m still figuring out is which part is the most useful for people, and whether these findings really help them to make the next step decision.

Explainer Video: I have put a short walkthrough video in this Reddit post.

Stage / Role: I am the maker. Right now we are looking for feedback to test which workflow is really useful enough that people will keep coming back to use it.

Goals This Month / How This Community Could Help: My goal for this month is to find a clearer entry point for the product.

If for your own business, will you first use a tool like this for checking website issues, seeing search visibility, or spying on competitors? If you can share a recent experience when you needed this kind of info, that would really help me to understand the actual use case!

Current Markets / Limits: Currently we support markets including Hong Kong, Singapore, UK, and US. Data coverage depends on different sources and modules. For the website check part, currently it scans up to 5 public HTML pages and 10 internal links.

[u/Material_Page_2897]

Startup: Zip's Mailbox Club

Based in New Jersey, US. I'm Mack, the founder.

The idea: a little postage-stamp character named Zip sends personalized letters to kids ages 3–12 twice a month, with coloring pages and activities. Kids can write or draw back, and things they share can turn up in later letters. Replies are optional. It's $19.99/month, billed monthly until canceled.

Stage: live, working on product validation and refining the offer.

Goal this month: figure out what makes someone hesitate BEFORE they've held a letter in their hands. I'm close to the product, so an outside perspective would help.

A few things I'd love feedback on:

1. Is it clear from that description what actually arrives, or what am I leaving you wondering?

2. At $19.99/month, what's the first thing that would make you pass? What would you spend that money on instead?

3. What would you need to see or know before buying it for a kid?

If you're a parent or buy gifts for kids, that perspective would be especially helpful. Curious whether you'd consider it for your own household or as a gift, too. Offering criticism welcome... that's why I'm here.

Reddit discount: none currently.

Wurz / https://wurz.app

Location of Your Headquarters

Mexico

Elevator Pitch

Wurz asks your documents and answers with the exact quote: which document, which fragment, so an accountant can verify the number before signing anything. Built for small accounting firms in Mexico, where you answer to the tax authority (SAT) for what you file. It reads CFDIs (Mexican e-invoices), bank statements and working papers straight from the firm's own Google Drive; the files never move to us. The real competitor isn't other software, it's opening PDFs one by one at 11pm, or pasting client data into ChatGPT.

More details:

What life cycle stage is your startup at?

Validation. MVP is live, the first real payment came in this month, and now I'm watching what early users actually do instead of what they said they'd do.

Your role?

Solo founder, technical.

What goals are you trying to reach this month?

Get the first accounting firms past week one of real use, and learn exactly where trials stall.

How could r/startups help?

If you've sold vertical SaaS to accountants or bookkeepers in any country, I'd love to hear how you got your first ten paying customers. They're hard to reach and rightly skeptical of anything that touches client data, so I'm weighing cold outreach against partnering with tools they already use.

Discount for r/startups subscribers?

Yes, dm me and I will gift 1 month free.

Inklok
https://inklok.com/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=share_your_startup_q3_2026

Location: USA

Elevator Pitch:

I built an e-signature platform where the SaaS Provider (inklok) isn't able to open/read/view the completed agreements.

Inklok uses a Zero Knowledge platform architecture, but I didn't want that to mean customers have to become crypto-experts. We handle the encryption to make this a fully managed model: participant key handoffs, guest signing, device changing, recover all happens behind the scenes, so using inklok still feels like a normal agreement platform. Sign in with a username/password from any device, send agreements, and receive full audit trail reporting as participants sign them.

No customer-run KMS infrastructure is required.

More details:

I am in the validation stage. The product is LIVE in production and I'm now focused on finding the right people/teams for whom this privacy model solves a real enough problem to switch agreement platforms.

Agreements typically contain super sensitive PII data: social security numbers, health data, bank account numbers, etc. At inklok we believe this data should stay PRIVATE and should only be accessible to the parties involved. And not to the platform provider.

My Role: Founder and builder.

Inklok is also API-First. There's a developer portal, public API docs backed by an openapi spec, an SDK, and a sandbox available to every user. Our web app is built on top of this same API infrastructure, so the goal is for developers to be able to build agreement workflows directly into their own products instead of being forced through our UI.

I've spent a lot of the dev effort on making the zero-knowledge architecture invisible to the user and usable through normal product/developer workflows. The technical part is interesting... but the real question now is whether the security difference matters enough to buyers.

What Goals am I trying to reach this month?

Get more real-world usage and learn where the positioning or product falls down before trying to scale up my acquisition.

I'd also like to learn whether the API-first side of the product is as important as I think it is. Especially for SaaS companies & developers who currently bolt an agreement provider into an existing workflow (i.e. salesforce, etc).

How could r/startups help me?

I'd especially value blunt feedback on a few things:

1. Does "an agreement platform that can't read your completed agreements” sound like a meaningful product advantage, or like a technical solution looking for a problem?

2. If you regularly send contracts containing financial, HR, health, customer, or other sensitive information, would provider access to that data ever influence which e-signature platform you choose?

3. For developers, how much does an API-first platform with public docs, SDKs, OpenAPI documentation, and a sandbox actually influence which agreement provider you integrate with?

I am much more interested in hearing why you WOULD NOT switch than getting compliments on my idea or implementation.

Discounts?

Not yet, not right now, however we do offer a FREE tier. You can send a handful of real agreements for free, and you will gain access to the sandbox, where you can (a) send as many 'test' agreements as you'd like, and (b) build out integrations using real API's and execute real tests.

ClickPatrol - https://clickpatrol.com

Location of Your Headquarters
Utrecht, the Netherlands. If you are in Utrecht or Amsterdam and want to compare notes over coffee, I am around.

Elevator Pitch

We stop advertisers paying for clicks that were never going to convert: bots, scrapers, click farms, and competitors tapping your ads. That waste is not only a line on the invoice. It also poisons Smart Bidding, so Google starts chasing more of the same junk.

ClickPatrol scores each click, blocks invalid traffic, and reports it to Google. We are a Google Certified Click Tracker. The long-term win is cleaner bidding data, not only credits on the Google bill.

Short version: your budget should hit people, not traffic.

Channel if you prefer video: https://www.youtube.com/@ClickPatrol

Life cycle stage

Growth. We launched in 2020 from Utrecht. The product is live, we have paying customers (in-house advertisers and agencies), and a team of 10+ across a few countries. This year is about scaling the right pipeline, not proving the category exists.

Your role?

CMO. I own acquisition: site, content, paid, and getting signups far enough that they actually open the dashboard.

What goals are you trying to reach this month?

1. More signups who reach the dashboard. Awareness is not the leak. Activation is.
2. Less junk inbound: people who create an account and never get past company details.
3. Cheaper qualified leads from paid, without widening to audiences that never buy.

How could r/startups help?

If you run Google Ads yourself, or manage them for clients: is the pitch above clear, or does it still sound like “another refund tool”? That is the trap we keep fighting.

Also useful: how you actually buy a tool like this. Self-serve trial, a demo first, or an agency recommendation?

Founders in the NL, happy to meet in Utrecht.

Not raising, not asking for money. Happy to return the favor if you want a blunt look at your own paid-acquisition setup.

Canduit - canduit.uk

HQ: London, UK

Pitch: A phone number that answers itself when a small business or person is too busy to pick up. It answers on the first ring with the owner's own greeting. Callers press a key on the built in key pad for why they're calling and hear pre-set answers (hours, prices, directions). It can text them a booking link mid-call. If it needs the owner, it takes the caller's name, number and reason, then sends it over with a written record of the call with AI transcription to transcribe the contents of the call.

Built for solo operators: salons, clinics, tradespeople, small shops, real estate agents.

Demo of a full call (ai video lol): https://youtu.be/ke3SYUJpgXI

Stage: It's done. There are no customers so there might be some other odd errors or so.

My role: Co-Founder & CEO.

Goals this month: Land my first paying customers and learn why people say no. I'd love blunt feedback on:

• Is £30/month flat, no setup fee, the right way to price this?
• Would you trust an automated line with your customers, or does it feel off?
• Any blind spots I'm missing?

[u/Competitive_Bell6361]

Hello Everyone! I'm meenum and the creator of meenumstudio.com, meenum Studio LLC. I'm based out of Mooresboro, NC.

I'm building whatever software and digital stuff I possibly can that I have a passion to create, making it the most polished I can, and then sharing it with everyone. My first project is Audiprism, which is a really neat audio plugin.

I just released on July 11th, and I'm in my 37 day sale period. Arbitrary number, one of my favorites. I'm in the validation stage as I do have my MVP with a lot of polish released, but I'm just starting on the algorithms and public aspect. Audiprism is currently on a 60% sale and the sale will end on August 17th.

I am the core founder, legally. I run all of the development for any programs, apps, software, as well as the website (html pages hosted on Cloudflare) and backend server. I manage promotion, legal, and everything else too. My wife has been an incredible partner and has been supporting me in many ways from the very start of this project.

I started Audiprism back on May 12th, 2026. My initial thought was that I wanted to create something that both helped others, and provided a really good proving grounds for a viable commercial and learning project. I feel as though things have been going incredibly well!

More explanation on my first project:

Audiprism is a .vst3 reverb plugin. If you're unfamiliar, it's essentially a library file that gets loaded into digital audio workspaces and modifies the sound before it hits the speakers. Audiprism is special because it's a simulator. It takes in the original sound, uses a bunch of particles/rays that represent the sound, and then bounces them around a bit. Once it's done this, the sound coming out is now modified to sound like it was played/performed in a fairly realistic representation of whatever space you just sketched in 3 minutes. It's incredible to be able to imagine a massive room with complex wall shapes and be able to just sketch it out without turning a hundred knobs. It's dark and comfortable to look at, and it has really neat gesture-based controls that make using a sandbox for a plugin possible.

My software is made with quality first. I use Rust for most everything I do. The plugin is a mere 3 MB uncompressed and only 1.26 MB with the README file while zipped. I have yet to see a single stutter or moment of lag after dozens of hours of testing.

I want to post here to share about my new company. I have plans to release more audio software, games (cute colony sims, physics sandbox/vehicle builders, etc) and more. My goal posting here is to encourage you all to check out my social media, see if anything I have now or in the future interests you. If it doesn't, I'd be very grateful if you could pass it along if you feel so inclined.

Also, once more down here for those that skimmed. My plugin is on sale until August 17th. You can check it out at meenumstudio.com !

Thank you!!!

nojo.club - a browser hangout for people who work alone.

What it is: four spaces with different atmospheres, voice chat with the people near you, no download, guest access. I'm a musician, so there's a piano in the bar connected to my real one and I play live when I'm online.

Why: I run a one-person music and video studio in Seoul. I like working for myself. I don't always like working by myself.

Stage: live and free, early. The hard part is the empty-room problem, since it only works when two people are there at the same time. If you've solved that for anything community-shaped, I'd love to hear how.
