Hey everyone,

First Reddit post, so if I mess up any Reddit etiquette just let me know!

I'm Brendan. I've spent the last year (mostly part-time outside of work) building a web app called FeatureFlight, and I finally launched it about two weeks ago.

The basic idea is an all-in-one workspace for freelancers and small teams/agencies managing client work (think projects/tasks, clients, time tracking, invoicing, scheduling, messaging, docs, etc.)

There's also some AI built in, but I've tried to make it actually useful rather than just adding AI everywhere for the sake of saying the product has AI.

I originally started building it because of something I noticed at the last couple companies I worked for. Everyone had 4–6+ different tools open at any given time: Slack, Jira/Monday/Asana, QuickBooks, Google Drive/Confluence, Harvest/Toggl, HubSpot/Salesforce, etc.

As an employee, bouncing between them all sucked. And I figured it probably wasn't much better from the owner/management side either!

So my 5–9 for the last year has basically been trying to combine a lot of that into one simpler platform specifically geared toward people doing client work. It's intentionally a little opinionated around freelancers/agencies rather than trying to be a completely customizable tool for every type of company.

Also, hats off to anyone who's built and launched a product solo while working full-time. I seriously underestimated how much time, energy, money, and mental bandwidth it takes while also attempting to have some resemblance of a life lmao

But now that it's actually live, I've reached the point where feedback from people who didn't build the thing is probably much more valuable than me continuing to stare at it and over-engineer things.

So I'd genuinely love some honest feedback:

• Is it immediately obvious what the product does?
• Anything about the UX that feels confusing or annoying, either on the landing site or inside the actual web app?
• Are there features that seem unnecessary? (try to think like an agency or freelancer who is owning the work from start to finish)
• Is there anything you'd expect a tool like this to have that I'm missing?
• Would you actually consider using something like this? If not, why?
• Is there anything that immediately makes you think, "I would just use XYZ platform instead"?

Don't worry about hurting my feelings either. I'd much rather hear "this part sucks" now than spend another six months building in the wrong direction.

If anyone wants to actually poke around, it's called FeatureFlight and the landing site is live at featureflight.io.

I made the full product free through the end of 2026 while I gather feedback and figure out what people actually want from it and how they are using it.

I Really appreciate anyone willing to take a look! Criticism and things you'd change are honestly more useful to me right now than compliments.

Thanks in advance!!
