Why I built MileStage (and what's coming next)

Hey everyone

I'm Saman, the founder of MileStage. Thanks for checking out the product!

I built this because I lived the problem. Years of freelancing, delivering work, sending invoices, then waiting... and waiting. Meanwhile clients would ask for "just a few more tweaks" before paying. The awkward follow-up emails got old fast.

The tools I tried either did too much (contracts, CRM, time tracking, invoicing - all bloated together) or too little (just invoicing, still chasing payments).

I wanted one thing: a way to make payment part of the workflow, not an afterthought. Client approves → pays → next stage unlocks. Simple.

What's on the roadmap:

• Project agreements (auto-generated, client signs before work starts)

• Visual project timeline (automatic history of everything that happened)

• More templates for different freelance niches

I'd love to hear from you:

• What's confusing or missing?

• What would make this more useful for your workflow?

• Any bugs? Let me know - I fix things fast.

Happy to answer any questions here. Thanks for the support!
