Over the past few days I ve been shipping critical improvements to Okiela s payment flow via Polar (built on Stripe), so that early users can upgrade from Free Pro ($29/mo) smoothly and I can finally see real, healthy cashflow.
The backend and Polar integration are stable, but since Feb 27 (VN time) several frontend deploys to Vercel have failed. That means a lot of UX and billing fixes are merged in code, but not yet live.

As a non technical founder, this is a humbling reminder: infrastructure and deployment health are just as important as unit economics and LTV:CAC.
Hey Product Hunt community! I'm Ravi indie developer and HR data researcher. Been frustrated for years that every HR calculator either: Hides results behind email signup Uses outdated 2020-era data Charges $99/month for basic math So I built StaffCost. What it does:
Free employee turnover cost calculator using SHRM 2025 four-bucket methodology. Enter salary + level + industry Instant breakdown of ALL costs Free PDF report No email. No signup. Ever. Most surprising insight:
Lost productivity = 52% of total turnover cost. Most companies obsess over recruiting fees (only 20%) while ignoring the real cost. A $75K employee costs $79,026 to replace. Launching officially this Tuesday!
Would love early feedback:

I build software, grow businesses, and try to make sense of both technology and people along the way. I m introducing myself to connect with amazing people who love building, solving problems, and guiding others on their founder journey.
I'm Utsav, solo founder of NestClip.io, an all-in-one platform for content creators who publish videos across multiple social media platforms and collaborate with editors.
The problem I kept seeing: Creators working with freelance editors use a messy stack, Google Drive for files, WhatsApp for feedback ("go to 2:34, the color looks off"), and then manually uploading to YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn one by one. Frame-io solves the review part but charges per seat and has zero publishing.
What NestClip does:
Upload raw footage editor downloads & works on it
WhatsApp-style comments with frame-accurate timestamps => click a timestamp, video jumps to that exact moment
Draw annotations directly on video frames for precise visual feedback
Approve revisions and track versions
One-click publish to YouTube, Instagram, Facebook & LinkedIn with scheduling
Publishing calendar to visualize your content strategy
No per-seat fees flat storage-based pricing, add your entire team
I ve spent my career with one simple mission: I build apps.
But as any entrepreneur knows, building the product is only half the battle. The other half is proving it works. I noticed a massive gap in how we verify success. Most tools only look at Stripe, but modern business is messy it s PayPal, it s Apple, it s global.
That s why I m soon launching VerifyMRR. I wanted a "Universal Truth" layer for builders like us.
By day I m a materials tec. Outside that, I build software and make physical stuff the overlap is basically: how do we make small operations run cleanly without complexity.
