Been building solo for quite a while now, and honestly, it got exhausting.
I’ve been working on a product around SMBs, AI workflows, automation, and voice-based experiences. I recently paused for about a month just to get some fresh air and reset mentally. Now I’m starting again — but this time, I want to build with people instead of carrying everything alone.
I’m looking for someone hungry. Someone who genuinely enjoys building things, shipping fast, experimenting, and creating useful products instead of endlessly talking about startup ideas.
Tech-wise, I’m mainly looking for someone comfortable with:
Flutter
React
Building MVPs fast
Bonus if you’re into AI/automation/voice tech
About me:
I’ve already worked with 100+ clients through previous projects/work.
I’m not starting from zero or from “just an idea.”
I already have experience dealing with real SMB problems, product thinking, clients, and execution.
I’ve failed, learned, built, restarted — and I’m still here trying again.
At this stage, mindset matters more to me than fancy resumes or big company names.
If you’re someone who’s serious about building, wants to grow together, and is willing to go through the messy early stages of a startup, DM me.
Would genuinely love to connect with builders who are trying to create something meaningful.

I’m seriously looking for a job hunt partner. Not a cofounder. Not networking. Just… a human being going through the same thing.
Someone to:
send applications with
roast terrible job descriptions together
scream internally after “We’ll get back to you”
celebrate tiny wins like “application submitted successfully”
keep each other accountable
maybe practice interviews
maybe just exist on call silently while applying to jobs
Honestly, job hunting alone feels weirdly soul-draining sometimes. One day you feel like a genius, next day LinkedIn makes you feel like a failed side character 💀

If you’re also job hunting and need an emotional support/applying partner, DM me ✨

Looking for someone to survive the job hunt together.

We apply to jobs, motivate each other, celebrate tiny wins, complain about ghosting, panic before interviews, and occasionally send “bro I can’t do this anymore” messages 💀

I’m into AI/startup/tech stuff, but honestly any field is fine. Just want the process to feel less lonely and less robotic.

If you’re also job hunting and need an emotional support/applying partner, DM me ✨

I’ve been stuck between building a “complete” ERP and a very small focused product.

Initially, I kept adding everything:
warehouses, batches, permissions, analytics, categories, advanced inventory flows, etc.

Technically it felt impressive.
But honestly, it never really moved.

Now I’m starting to wonder if most wholesale businesses only care about a few things done properly:
- sales invoice
- purchase invoice
- stock tracking
- simple products
- fast workflow

And maybe complexity should only appear when they actually need it.

I feel like developers overcomplicate products because we think more features = more value.

But business owners usually just want something reliable, fast, and easy to use daily.

Curious how others here think about this balance between building “powerful” vs building “simple”.

Everyone wants to build the next “cool” startup.
But most flashy ideas disappear fast.

The businesses that quietly survive are usually the boring ones.
The software people open every single day because they need it.

Lately, I’ve started feeling that useful matters more than impressive.
Hype gets attention, but solving a real everyday problem is what actually lasts.

Curious what others think about this.

I’m 25.

Last year I quietly resigned from my job because I genuinely believed I could build something meaningful. I didn’t even tell my family the truth because I thought I’d figure things out before they noticed.

For months, my life became nothing but code, ideas, redesigns, sleepless nights, product iterations, and trying to understand why people weren’t using what I built.

I learned more in these months than I ever learned at my job.

I learned that:
- building products is only half the battle
- marketing is brutally hard
- having technical skill means nothing if nobody needs what you built
- and reality hits very differently when family depends on you financially

That last part hurts the most.

My parents are getting older and still worrying about money while I’m here chasing uncertain dreams.

When people praise my skills now, I honestly don’t even feel proud anymore. It just reminds me that being “talented” and being “stable” are two completely different things.

Meanwhile all my friends are growing in their careers, switching companies, settling into life… and I feel like I pressed pause on mine.

The hardest part is that I don’t even fully regret it.

This journey broke a lot of illusions I had about success, business, and life itself. In some ways, it made me a much stronger person.

But right now, I feel stuck.

My experience is limited, the market is rough, and mentally I’m exhausted trying to figure out whether to continue building or just restart life from zero again.

I think for now I need to focus on supporting my family first.

Maybe the entrepreneur version of me isn’t dead. Maybe it just needs to survive a little longer before it gets another chance.

Most ERP software feels like it was built for every business except yours.

A tile shop, pharmacy, restaurant, and distributor all operate differently — yet many systems still force everyone into the same bloated workflows and confusing UI.

What if ERP software was built industry-first instead of feature-first?

Not more features.
Just software that actually matches how that business works.

Do businesses still want giant all-in-one ERPs, or is industry-specific software the better direction?
