I am trying to do something a little bonkers - I want to build an app when I am a bit of a technophobe! I am a product designer - so it's not entirely crazy but social media, online forums is all really alien to me. I'm looking to put the feelers out there to understand the demand for the idea - any tips or tricks? The vague idea - without giving the game away.... People are incredible at tracking workouts, steps, sleep, macros
but somehow still stare at a single mug in the sink like it s a moral dilemma.
I m exploring an idea around why everyday maintenance tasks feel heavier than they are, and how the same psychology that keeps people hooked on fitness tracking might work for real-world chores.
Hello everyone, I'm Christian van Gils, Co-founder of PulseBoard.
For my entire career, I've been a dedicated entrepreneur. I successfully built and ran a media agency for 12.5 years, followed by a software company that I recently and successfully exited after 22 years.
Now, I'm redirecting all of that experience, knowledge, and entrepreneurial drive toward a single mission: making 2026 a healthier year by focusing on people.
I wanted to share a quick note of appreciation. On November 24th, Ostivities reached #5 Product of the Day, and it genuinely wouldn t have happened without your support.

If Ostivities resonated with you or you found it useful, I d really appreciate it if you could also take a moment to leave a short review on our Product Hunt page. Your feedback helps others understand what we re building and supports our growth.
