5 months ago, I couldn't code. Today, Okiela launches on Product Hunt
Hi Product Hunt community š
I'm Dai, and tomorrow (in a few hours actually) I'm launching Okiela - my first product.
5 months ago, I was an FP&A analyst drowning in Excel spreadsheets, spending 4-6 hours manually calculating profit for e-commerce clients.
The problem was clear: "Which SKU is actually profitable?" should take 30 seconds, not 30 hours. But I had zero coding experience. Never opened VS Code. Didn't know what "git push" meant.
So I did the only thing I could: opened GitHub, created my first repo, and started learning with Claude AI.
540 days later - Okiela is live at okiela.io
What it does:
⢠Upload your Shopify CSV
⢠Get true profit per SKU (with ALL hidden costs: shipping, fees, refunds, ads)
⢠AI-powered repricing recommendations
⢠30 seconds, not 30 hours
Why I'm sharing this:
Because if you're a non-technical founder who thinks "I can't build this" - you can.
I'm proof.
Tomorrow we go live. No VC. No co-founder. Just AI tools, caffeine, and stubborn persistence.
Would love to hear:
- What profit blind spots do YOU face in e-commerce?
- What would make Okiela more useful for you?
- Any advice for a first-time launcher? š
Thanks for being here. This community has been inspiring me for months.
Let's go š
