I build software and automation tools, and before I go off and build something nobody asked for, I’d rather just ask: what actually eats your time?

I’m thinking about the boring stuff. Manually entering data, chasing payments, copying things between WhatsApp, Excel and email, generating invoices, managing inventory, replying to the same customer questions 50 times a day. The tasks you wish would just… do themselves.

A few things I’m curious about:
- What’s one repetitive task you’d happily never do again?
- Is there software you currently use that frustrates you, or that’s too expensive or too “built for the West” to fit local needs?
- Is there a tool you’ve wished existed but couldn’t find?

Not selling anything here. Genuinely trying to understand real problems before building. Happy to share back whatever I learn from the thread, and if anyone wants to talk through their specific situation, my DMs are open.
Thanks 🙏

I'm genuinely curious to learn what methods are working for local businesses today.

Hey r/ask_srilanka ! 👋

I'm an undergrad doing my final year project and I'm trying to figure out what kind of app or software could actually solve real problems here in Sri Lanka. I've been brainstorming but honestly, I want to hear from people actually living here what frustrates them day-to-day.

So my question is: What's a major problem you face regularly that you think tech could solve? Or is there an app/service you wish existed but just can't find anything like it in Sri Lanka?

I know this might seem like a random post, but genuinely trying to make my final year project relevant to real issues people face rather than just building something for the sake of it. Any suggestions would be super helpful! 🙏
