Hello everyone!

I'm a college student and this is my first serious attempt at creating a more visually engaging PowerPoint.

I recently got a presentation assignment for my professors, so I asked my group to give me a basic PPT containing all the required content. I then took that presentation and tried to transform it into something more visual, engaging and polished.

I spent around 2.5 hours working on this version, and I'm honestly enjoying the process a lot. I'm planning to keep improving my PowerPoint/design skills and potentially turn this into a service in the future.

I'd really appreciate some honest feedback:

• What do you think this is worth if someone were paying for it?
• What would you expect to pay for a presentation of this quality?
• What should I improve if I want to eventually charge professionally?

I'm still learning, so I'd especially appreciate feedback from people who work professionally with presentations/design.

Thanks! 🙌

Hey Founders,

Over the last month of browsing business communities, I kept noticing the same pattern:

Small businesses don't usually fail because they lack information.

They fail because important information gets ignored until it's too late.

That observation led me down a rabbit hole. I started thinking about the root cause and whether it could be solved with a better system rather than just another tool.

11 days ago, I started building CRMSpeaks, a lead management and team operations system designed for small businesses and agencies.

It helps teams:

• Manage leads

• Track follow-ups

• Collaborate inside shared workspaces

• Communicate through internal chat

• Maintain visibility across their sales pipeline

The goal wasn't to create another CRM.

The goal was to create a system that reduces operational chaos and helps small teams stay organized as they grow.

Some principles I focused on while building it:

• Single Source of Truth – Leads, follow-ups, conversations, and team activity should live in one place instead of being scattered across WhatsApp, spreadsheets, sticky notes, and emails.

• Visibility – Teams should be able to work together from the same dashboard without losing context.

• Accountability – Actions should be traceable so important work doesn't get forgotten.

• Scalability – The system should work for a solo founder today and still support a growing team tomorrow.

• Reliability – Permissions, workspace separation, approval systems, and data protection should prevent one team's actions from affecting another.

• Security – This became a major focus during development, with Row Level Security (RLS) implemented across the backend.

One lesson I learned during the build:

Most business problems are not software problems.

They're system problems.

Software is simply the tool that enforces the system.

I'm at the beginning of my journey as a Business Systems Architect, and CRMSpeaks is one of the first systems I've built under Speaks Studio.

I'm curious:

What's the biggest operational bottleneck your business faces every week?

Not marketing.

Not sales.

The internal process, workflow, communication, or operational issue that keeps creating friction.

I'd love to hear real experiences because those insights help me build better systems.

P.S. If you'd like to test CRMSpeaks and give honest feedback, feel free to comment or send me a DM.

Hi everyone,

I have noticed that there are numerous store owners who constantly complain about their conversion rates. The store looks perfect, but they fail to convert customers, and they are unaware of what's making their conversion rate down.

Well after speaking with many of them, I realized that one major thing was common among all of them, which was simple to rectify but they had no clue what was causing it.

It was the Speed of the stores. The look of the Shopify store was perfect, but since it wasn't fast enough, they faced a dip in their conversion rates.

I have designed a system based on the PageSpeed data of Google to locate all the suspects responsible for the slowdown in your Shopify store and revenue loss because of them.

For all Shopify store owners who want to know which app is the culprit behind their slow speed – comment your URL below, and I'll give you the exact report of your shopify store

Hey Everyone,

I want to share something I've been building for the past 10 days and get some honest feedback from real shopify store owners

The Problem I was trying to solve:

Every Shopify store owner knows speed matters. But when you run a speed test, you just get a number — 32/100. Okay cool. Now what? Which of your 15 installed apps is actually causing the problem? How much money are you actually losing because of it?

Nobody was answering those questions clearly. So I Built a tool that does.

What SpeedSpeaks Does:

When you enter your Store URL it runs a full Google PageSpeed audit and then goes deeper.

It calculates your exact monthly revenue loss based on your load time. The formula is simple, every second your store loads beyond 2.5 seconds costs you 7% of your monthly revenue. So a store doing $50,000/month with a 12 second load time is losing around $33,000 every single month without knowing it.

It then identifies exactly which third party apps are running in your store background, slowing everything down, and shows you the revenue drain per app.

Not just "you have slow scripts", it names them specifically.

It also shows you a Before/After breakdown of what your store's revenue could look like after fixing the issues. And if you want to go deeper, you can compare your store against up to 3 competitors side by side, speed score, load time, apps detected.

For Pro users there's a full dashboard with:

Complete audit history of every scan

Weekly automatic monitoring, your store gets rescanned every Monday at 9 AM and you can track if your score is improving or dropping

Competitor tracking page with side by side comparison table

Store performance overview with trends over time

The attached video link in comments is a full live demo showing "gymshark" store getting audited, the revenue loss calculation happening live, and the app detection in action.

Why I'm posting:

Beta is open right now and all Pro features are completely free until May 18. After that it goes to $49/month recurring.

I am genuinely looking for 20 Shopify store owners to try it and tell me what's wrong with it, what's missing, and what would make them pay $49/month for it.

If u want to try it drop your store URL in the comments and I'll run the audit manually and share your results here.

Honestly Need a FeedBack! 

No promotions Just want to have real owners to just try it once

Hey Everyone,

I've spent the last 20 days building my first SaaS tool, Speed Speaks (including initial market validation). It's an intelligence tool for Shopify Stores.

I originally built it because I noticed a massive problem: Store owners drop thousands on Meta ads, get a high CTR, but zero Add-to-Carts because their mobile site takes a long time to load and the traffic bounces.

What Speed Speaks actually does:

1. It runs a deep audit and finds the exact apps or scripts that are silently killing the main thread, and calculates the exact MRR they are losing because of it.
2. I just shipped a new feature today: Competitor Tracking, where store owners can input their top 3 competitors, and it gives them a side-by-side dashboard showing exactly how much faster they load.

Why I am doing it here: I was going to launch it this weekend, but my payment system is under review (Lemon Squeezy is taking their time). Plus, the Shopify and e-commerce subreddits banned me because I was trying to talk about it too early there.

So, now I am doing a 14-day closed beta right here before the official launch on May 18th.

What I can Offer: If you are a Shopify store owner or run an agency with e-com clients, drop a comment or DM me.

Go to speed-speaks.vercel.app, sign in, and just let me know the email you used in my DMs. I will personally go into my database and give you the premium account features for Free.

All I want is to give Speed Speaks some recognition because it actually solves a massive pain point, and I'd love to get some raw feedback from you guys.

Thanks, I am looking for your review!

I’m building SpeedSpeaks (a Shopify 'ghost code' scanner) and today was entirely dedicated to fighting backend bosses and fixing silent failures.

If you've ever dealt with React race conditions or Row Level Security (RLS) silently blocking your writes, you know exactly what my day looked like. Here is the technical breakdown of what I fixed and shipped today:

🐛 The Backend War (Bugs Squashed)

• The Silent Supabase Failure: My audit saves were silently failing. No errors, just not writing to the database. Turns out, RLS was blocking it. I fixed it by creating a custom server-side API route using a service_role key to completely bypass RLS securely.
• The Infinite Loading Loop: My dashboard was stuck in an infinite loading state because my AuthContext was causing race conditions. Ripped it out and fixed it by having the dashboard query Supabase directly.
• The is_pro False Positive: Fixed a bug where paid users were still showing as free by rewriting the RLS policies with proper INSERT + UPDATE WITH CHECK clauses.
• The Logout Trap: My logout button was getting blocked by residual audit state. Fixed it simply by injecting a setResults(null) right before the signOut command.

🚀 The Polish (What Shipped)

• The Pro Dashboard: Fully live at /dashboard. It now pulls from a brand new audit_history table I created to show users their last audit, speed score, revenue loss, and a real audit count (no more hardcoded numbers).
• Dynamic '⚡ PRO' Badges: Built an Account Dropdown that replaces the plain logout button. The absolute best feeling today was seeing that dynamic ⚡ PRO badge finally render for paid users.
• Pricing Logic: The Annual/Monthly toggle on the pricing page now perfectly routes to the correct Lemon Squeezy checkout links, and paid users now see a clean "✅ YOUR PLAN - Active since: [Date]" state.

Tomorrow's Plan: Day 7 is going to be 100% focused on killing the remaining technical debt. The UI currently needs a manual refresh to load the dashboard state, and I need to add Google Auth so users don't have to type passwords. No new features, just bulletproofing the foundation.

To anyone else stuck in a silent backend failure loop today: keep filtering those logs. Bypassing that RLS boss felt incredible.

Back to the code tomorrow!

I'm currently building SpeedSpeaks V2—a deep-scan engine for Shopify that finds invisible 'ghost code' left behind by uninstalled apps that freeze mobile sites and kill conversions.

Today was a massive sprint. Here is exactly what I got live on Day 4:

• Auth is done: Login/Signup system is completely live.
• The Core Engine: The scanner is successfully detecting the exact apps and leftover scripts draining revenue.
• The Business Side: Pricing page and full paywall flow are built and ready for the payment gateway.

My biggest realization today: > I was originally stressing about pricing, but I realized I am not building a $9/mo "vitamin" app. I'm building a painkiller. If a store is bleeding thousands of dollars a month because of hidden code, I'm competing with a $200+ Upwork developer who has to manually dig through the theme.liquid file.

When you solve a bleeding-neck problem, the ROI justifies the price. Stop making vitamins.

Day 5 (Tomorrow): Full payment wall integration.

Back to the code! 🚀
