Hey makers

Last week we submitted mailX to OpenAI as a ChatGPT plugin. It got approved about 6 hours later.

A few people asked me how we did it, so here is everything.

What OpenAI asks for

I built Reclaim because I noticed how often I open Instagram or TikTok without even thinking about it.

Most screen-time apps try to block social media completely, but I wanted to try a different approach.

Reclaim creates a small pause before social media opens:
a short animation
a deep breath
a simple reflective question

The goal is to interrupt autopilot scrolling with a tiny moment of awareness.

We re building an early-stage platform around a simple belief:

People are more than a r sum , a short bio, or a list of links.

Today:

• LinkedIn shows your professional side

• Linktree shows where to find you

• Portfolios show selected work

• Social platforms show your latest posts

I've been building a workforce/attendance tool for the past few months, and the more I talk to other founders and operators, the more I realize this is a genuinely unsolved problem for a lot of small teams.

The core tension: too much oversight (screenshots, constant check-ins) makes good people feel like suspects and quit. Too little oversight means you find out something's wrong months later, usually during a payroll or client audit.

I ended up building something (Trackly) to sit in the middle, GPS-verified check-ins visible to both employee and manager, no hidden tracking. But I'm genuinely unsure if this is the right model, or if there's a better approach other builders here have found.

A few real questions I'd love this community's take on:

I'm Zviad, founder of Signify, an e-signature and document management platform.

Our hardest user was never the procurement director who buys the platform. It's the person who gets a signing request on their phone and has maybe never signed anything digitally. If they can't finish in under a minute, unassisted, we consider the product failed. Doesn't matter how good the admin panel is.

That one constraint shaped everything we built. No software to install. No account required for the signer. Localised signing interfaces, because customers told us their counterparties were dropping out at the language barrier. Tablet signing at the front desk, because sales teams needed to close in the room, not after it.

And it's shaping our next launch here: AI Chat, a feature that lets the signer ask the document anything before signing. What am I signing? What happens if I cancel early? Explain this clause like I'm not a lawyer. Signing gets easier every year, understanding what you sign hasn't. That's the gap we went after.

A few weeks back I posted here about a stranger's comment reshaping my product roadmap the short version: my Shopify reporting app was just automating a habit (checking your numbers) instead of actually telling merchants anything useful. Someone framed it as "insurance against a bad week" instead of a weekly export, and it stuck.

Here's what shipped since then:

- Predictive alerts (6 rules: revenue drop, order drop, AOV drop, anomalies, no-sales periods)

- A recommendations engine actionable suggestions, never an invented cause

Hi community, I built PixSathi to help students resize exam photos, merge PDFs, and build resumes without any paywalls. All tools run locally in the browser. Check it out: https://www.pixsathi.in"

Hey everyone! I build small free tools for developers under my studio LogicStack, and the latest one is a portfolio builder.

The frustration behind it: every portfolio builder I tried either charged monthly or locked me into rigid templates. And I kept seeing good developers with weak portfolios just because the tools were expensive or ugly.

So I made one that's free, no account needed pick a template, add your work, share your link.

Here's my real question for this community: when you open someone's portfolio, what makes you stay vs leave in 10 seconds? Projects, writing, design, something else? I want the templates to reflect what actually works, not my assumptions.

Hello everyone!
I'm Atul. I've been a software engineer for the past five years, and I'm currently a graduate student in Computational Sciences at the University of Vienna. As a student, I've tried many note-taking apps, but none of them really cater to the needs of students, especially in the AI era. So I built my own: Pen Buddy.
Pen Buddy has everything a student studying with AI could need. My goal was to recreate the experience of studying with a really smart friend, and to solve one of AI's biggest problems for students: getting answers without actually learning.
That's where Buddy comes in. Buddy is a built-in, AI-powered conversational companion. It can talk with you, give you hints when you're stuck, notice when you're struggling, and adapt to help you through it. When you turn it on, it can see your screen and your PDFs. It can draw out explanations, flowcharts, and graphs, read and write mathematical equations, and work through LeetCode problems, brain teasers, or anything else you throw at it. It also prepares briefs, summaries, and flashcards from your lectures and notes.
I've always heard that you should build something you'd use every day, and now I see why. Pen Buddy has replaced my old note-taking app, and every day I'm working to make it the best experience possible for students.

Hi everyone,

I m Sohail, and I ve spent about 13 years in the corporate world. My path hasn t been a straight line. I ve worked as a crypto developer, in fintech, and in research and business development. Through all of it, one thing kept coming back: email marketing. Every role I had ended up touching it in some way, whether that was campaigns, CRMs, automations, or the servers behind them.

These days I run lifecycle marketing automation and CRM across several products. I ve seen companies sign expensive multi-year contracts for email platforms and still struggle with messy data, slow workflows, and no clear view of which emails actually bring in revenue.

Why email, and why now
