Ive realized I dont quit tracking because of motivation, I quit because the app starts feeling annoying. Some apps technically do everything, but logging a single meal feels weirdly slow or clunky. Too many steps, too much scrolling, searching, etc

If youve used a few different ones, which app actually feels smooth and fast day to day? Not looking for the most features. Just the one that makes logging feel easy instead of tedious.

We're running HiBob for HR and a separate ticketing system for IT, and in theory they're "integrated" but in practice what that means is: occasionally a field syncs over, and IT still has to manually cross-reference HR data when a ticket comes in for access provisioning or a hardware request.

New hire starts Monday. IT doesn't know until Friday. Someone requests a Salesforce license. IT doesn't know their role or whether they already have one. Someone's last day is in two weeks. IT finds out when they're offboarding the account.

These all feel like data synchronization failures more than process failures. The information exists... it's just not surfaced where IT can actually act on it.

I've been looking at whether this is something we fix on the HRIS side, the ITSM side, or if there's actually a category of tool that handles this as a core function rather than an afterthought. What's the setup at your org? Do your IT tools actually know who your employees are before they submit a ticket?

Been working on my own Saas for a few months now and I’m starting to struggle with UI testing. I’m wondering if there are any reliable web test recorders or if scripting is the only way to go. The ones I’ve used so far break immediately if a button moves even the tiniest bit. It seems like they’re recording pixel coordinates as if they’re set in stone. I am spending more time babysitting broken tests than writing features. I’d rather have no tests than a tool that fails on every deploy.

I need something built for Chromium that understands the DOM. Like semantically understands it. Meaning it’s not looking to click at a specific position. It understands that the goal is to click the primary CTA in the checkout form. The tools I am aware of all have brittle selectors.

Is there a tool that understands what a button is rather than where it’s located? Am I asking for too much?

My business partner (24M) and I (23M) are cofounders of a productivity app. We don’t have a ton of experience building a company from the ground up, and now that we’re in the process of it, we’re realizing that there is a lot of random little bs that comes with running a startup.

Recently, we launched a waitlist for our app and after working with some influencers to give away free access it gained 5k+ signups. We’re stoked about it but we’re having a hard time organizing everything in a way that makes sense for us. At the moment, we’re a six-person team and everyone’s waaay past max capacity so we don’t have a ton of time to mess around with different CRM trials.. What we want to do is to create solid data with the company/user profiles, role, contact info, notes, and such, and from this, we eventually want to prioritize users from the waitlist. Right now, everything is just in a google sheet, straight from the lead form submission. While we have a big list of signups, we don’t know who’s valuable. We have to do some manual onboarding and set up for them so we can’t just open the floodgates. We need an automated way to organize and prioritize getting them off the waitlist and into the app because constantly doing manual LinkedIn lookups is not realistic long term.
