Hey everyone!

A few days ago I shared Orty, a Windows desktop app I've been building for freelance video editors. Thanks to this community, I got my first beta testers (seriously, thank you ❤️).

I spent the last couple of days improving the app based on early feedback, and v1.12-beta is now live.

What's new

• Smarter AI – Better lead analysis, stronger reasoning, and improved outreach drafts.
• One-click Pro upgrade – If you ever decide to upgrade, it's now much simpler.
• Update notifications – The app now lets you know when a new version is available, so you don't have to keep checking manually.

For anyone who missed the original post, Orty helps you decide which creators are actually worth reaching out to.

You simply:

• Drop in a screenshot of a creator's profile.
• Get an AI-powered fit score.
• See the reasoning behind the score.
• Generate a personalized outreach email you can edit and send.

The free version is still available and includes a daily usage limit, so you can test it before deciding if it's useful for your workflow.

I'd genuinely love more feedback from freelance editors.

What feature would make a tool like this something you'd actually use every week?

Hey everyone,

A few days ago, I shared Orty on Reddit, and to my surprise, 5 freelance video editors from the US, Czech Republic, India, and Türkiye downloaded the app and started testing it. One of them even commented that they'd come back with an honest review after using it.

That gave me the motivation to keep improving it.

Orty is a Windows desktop app built specifically for freelance video editors.

Instead of spending time researching creators before sending cold emails, you simply drop a screenshot of their YouTube or Instagram profile into the app.

Orty will:

• Analyze whether they're likely to be a good client.
• Explain why it gave that score.
• Generate a personalized outreach email based on the analysis.

The free version is fully usable and includes a daily analysis limit, so you can test the workflow before deciding whether it's useful for you.

I'm not trying to sell anything with this post. I'm looking for honest feedback from editors who actually do cold outreach.

I'd love to know:

• Would this fit into your workflow?
• What's missing?
• What would make this something you'd actually use every week?

Feel free to be brutally honest. Every piece of feedback helps me improve the app, and I'd really appreciate hearing what you think.

Thanks! 🙌

Hey everyone,

Over the past few months, I've been building Orty, a Windows desktop app designed specifically for freelance video editors.

The goal isn't to edit videos—it's to help you find better clients faster.

Here's how it works:

• Drop in a screenshot of a creator's YouTube or Instagram profile.
• Orty analyzes whether they're a good fit for your editing services.
• It explains its reasoning.
• It generates a personalized outreach email you can customize and send.

I'm still in beta, and I'm looking for honest feedback from real freelance editors.

If you're interested, you can learn more here:

You can also download the beta here:

I'm not asking anyone to buy anything. I'm simply trying to learn:

• Would this actually fit into your workflow?
• What features are missing?
• What would stop you from using it?

Any feedback—positive or negative—would mean a lot. Thanks!

Just found out Google search treats my product name ("Orty") as a likely typo for Getty Images, and suggests that instead, even though my site is confirmed indexed in Search Console.

Apparently this happens to new domains/brand names that don't yet have enough backlinks or search volume for Google to trust them as real, intentional terms rather than typos.

Curious if anyone's dealt with this and what actually helped, more backlinks, a different domain, just time? Trying to figure out if there's anything actionable here beyond waiting.

Wanted to share where things actually stand as a solo founder, not just the highlight reel.

I built Orty, an AI tool that scores potential clients before you cold-email them, specifically for freelance video editors. Built it alone, out of my own real problem: months of guessing who was worth emailing, generic pitches, basically no replies.

Since launching:

- Real feedback on Product Hunt, including someone who tested it on an actual creator and told me exactly what felt generic in the drafted email, genuinely useful, specific criticism

- A technical critique on Reddit that I took seriously, responded to honestly, and the critic came back and agreed with my reframing

- Just got approved on AlternativeTo today

- Cold emails started showing up from directory sites and blogs once I had any public visibility at all, which nobody warned me about

Still very early. Still figuring out the marketing side more than the building side. But the product itself holds up under real scrutiny, and that matters more to me right now than the numbers.

If you're solo too, curious what's actually been the hardest part for you, the building or the getting-people-to-care part? For me it's been the second one, by a lot.
