This started as a personal problem. I used to spend an evening every month manually copying my own bank statements from PDF into a spreadsheet just to see where my money was going line by line, by hand. At some point I got annoyed enough to automate it for myself.

That turned into Scrape2Sheets, a Google Sheets add-on that uses AI to read PDFs, invoices, receipts, and bank statements and drop the data straight into your sheet as clean rows . You point it at files in Google Drive, tell it what columns you want (or let it auto-detect them from a sample document), and it batch-processes up to 100 files at once. It handles scanned documents and phone photos too, not just clean digital PDFs.

It's only just started picking up some real traction the last couple weeks, which has honestly been a nice surprise after building in isolation for a while.

Curious whether others here started building their tool the same way, solving your own annoying manual task first, then realizing other people had the exact same one. Happy to answer questions in the comments if anyone wants details.

I am working on starting a small business to help businesses implement ai in their workflow to optimise their productivity and revenue.

one of the simplest ways is to implement a voice agent that takes calls after hours so service based businesses don't miss out on new client or inquires.

Any advice how to approch this really appreciated.

Last week, I went on a first date with a girl and I really liked her. I wanted to do something memorable for our second date, something a little more personal than usual.

So, I built her a private website. I included a list of the little things I liked about her so far, how she made me feel, and a funny inside joke we made on our first date.

We were having dinner and I sent her the link ... I honestly can't describe how impressed she was. The reaction was completely priceless.

Seeing how happy it made her made me realize that this is actually a really special way to give a gift. It’s unique, it lasts forever, and it really shows you put thought into it.

I can't share the exact one I made for her (too much personal info!), but I threw together an example of what a Birthday version looks like so you can see the vibe: link

I wanted to share this here because if anyone has a special occasion coming up (anniversary, birthday, long-distance relationship) and wants something like this, I would be more than happy to make one for you.

You can DM me anytime! Just a heads up: because I’m doing this completely solo, I can only work on one website at a time, so I’ll just be taking them as they come.
