Happy Monday makers! With the start of a new week, let's come together for some collaboration! Share what you're working on, what stage it's in, who your target audience is, and how others can help. Then in return help out other makers with their products! 😄

Great idea, Aaron! I'm currently working on tira.so. Our target audience is primarily small teams, startups, and entrepreneurs. We would love for others to sign up to the platform, try it out, and give us feedback (we offer a free plan!)
Aaron O'Leary
@inesfenner Oh what does it do??
Sandra Djajic
@aaronoleary tira.so is pretty much what would happen if Slack, Trello, Notion, & Calendly came together to make a baby! Chat, task & project management, and a calendar all in one place. All the features work together seamlessly.
Max Shafer
@aaronoleary @inesfenner Cool concept Ines! What pain point are you looking to solve here? is the goal to put all these tasks in one place?
Sandra Djajic
@aaronoleary @max_mapedia Thanks, Max! We're trying to solve the issue of having to use multiple apps to get work done. For example, people will use Slack to chat with their team then have to go to Trello or Notion to organize their tasks and then use a calendar separately to organize due dates and events. When working like this, subscription fatigue occurs and it can become super costly for companies to pay for multiple subscriptions. It’s also a huge waste of time constantly switching between apps. With Tira, there’s no need to use multiple apps. The goal is to have all of your tasks, projects, messages, and events in one place so that no information is lost and your productivity is improved. You can get all of the tools you need in one place for a fraction of the price.

@aaronoleary @inesfenner Makes sense Ines! I guess the struggle will be convincing people to trust your brand over the existing solutions. But I took a look and seems like a great tool! Thanks for sharing and best of luck :)

Heya! We're working on the right marketing strategy for our logo maker website called Instant Logo Design. For the first few months, we're increasing our revenue monthly. But since May, it was decreasing dramatically which is a bit worrisome, if I admit. We are in the process of revamping the interface and web design of the site as well as applying some of the most popular social media strategy to promote our site. Do you guys have any ideas? You can visit our site here: http://instantlogodesign.com/

@iyamendoza01 Hi Iya! Could you show the sales funnel and the conversions on every step? I'm not sure the bottleneck is in the site design because you used to have good results. What did change in May? Did you go to another target audience? Did you change the advertising? So first (I think), you need to define where exactly the problem is. Is it a user acquisition problem? Or your acquisition is well, but later you lose the customers? I build a startup that will create a marketing roadmap automatically. And I think your case is very good for testing my product. Please, could you use my product and write me if it was useful or not? https://t.me/ugetgoal_bot
Ishminder
@iyamendoza01 Tested your site - really cool. Having a down month isn't too bad. Are you tracking the user at every step? Landing page > Designing Logo > Purchasing. Where do they stop? Why do they stop? Use something like hotjar to *record* user interaction on your site, this is powerful, you'll see whether they're dipping off when they look at the price or for other reasons.

👋 After an exciting week at Sorry (https://www.sorryapp.com) with officially launching our new status page design and our 'What's New' page, we're focusing on a couple of refinements from platform improvements to customisation updates. Started the day with a quick huddle to plan out the week and feel like we're going to cook on fire again this week 💪 (If you're looking for the future of status pages, check us out - we have a tonne of customers loving the new theme).
Junior Owolabi
@gadgick What is "The new way to view service status"? is it the survey?
Nic Coates
@rilwan_owolabi1 No, we're changing the status page landscape so rather than the traditional pages that show the status of services (e.g. uptime, outage, availability, maintenance etc.), we're building something different.

Supreet Tare, Founder AnywhereApp.io
Hey folks. We are working on a super simple PM tool for smaller teams. It's called Anywhere https://anywhereapp.io/ We did a PH launch last year & ended up being 5th for the day. Since then we have added a lot of customer requested features, launched our mobile apps & more. Now we are planning yet another PH launch next month. Any specific advice to keep in mind for the 2nd launch? Any preps we can do within next few weeks to do a good launch? Thanks ST

Hi PH! We are working on a platform that will allow short-term investments (from $100) in real estate flips. The whole cycle (purchase-renovation-sale) lasts from 3 to 9 months, the expected return for this period, is from 5 to 20% + all the capital invested. The entire renovation process will be continuously documented and possible to watch in real time. We are catching up on the legal aspects of crowdfunding (we are based in EU), lunch will follow up to 2 months. Any feedback is more then welcome!
Aaron O'Leary
@pawelszafa Love this, real estate can be surer intimidating to break into!
Max Shafer
@pawelszafa Really neat idea Pawel! How do you plan to beat the competitors already in this space?
Pawel
@max_mapedia Hi! I'm really glad that PH community feedback is good, thank you for that. Regarding competitors, there are few aspect, however I do not want to talk in public about all, ket me just put some examples: 1. Deals: I work in one of biggest Real Estate consulting companies in the word. I'm responsible for growth of technical department in CEE region (EMEA region from 2023). I have really big network of friends in real estate (agents, bailiffs, trustees, banks, corporates) and great access to deals (even if I will left the job). This is how I can be sure of good quality deals. 2. Evaluation: I have build fully operating design office and general contractor with around 1,5$ reve last year (acting only locally). As general contractor we have data and negotiated prices of materials, subcontractors, equipment etc. We have also really good cost department and construction supervision team so we will be able to very professionally evaluate the property and cost needed to be incurred. For now, we will enter only best deals in local market. 3. Costs: We do not charge commissions as a platform. We make money as a general contractor, and that is a cost that would have to be borne by the Investor anyway. So we are initially cheaper by commission. Scaling from the local market, I know how to secure fees from third parties (foreign contractors), I do it professionally, nevertheless I cannot share this knowledge. 4. Sell: I have access (and long time relationships) to the biggest real estate funds and HNWI. Also, we already have great broker in our team, so public sell also would be a pice of cake (been there, done that but with private capital). There is much more really BIG staff that we will implement, however lets just wait and see. ;) By the way: do anybody knows any investment company/startup (legally operating), that allows you to invest 100$, or even 1000$ or even 10 000$ with security on the mortgage (or similar level of security) and with 105% return after sex - sorry - six months? ;)

@pawelszafa This is awesome! I've seen some other companies do this, but their process is fairly complicated and isn't as easy as you'd think it should be. So that makes me ask, how simple are you guys making the whole process?
Pawel
@yelmahallawy Hi, thanks for the question. Well, in addition to the fact that I am very familiar with the executive design process, and in addition to the fact that I myself do such flips from private capital (smaller scale), the answer to the question is: we will simplify the process of raising capital as much as possible. Specifically: Literally yesterday, the President of Poland signed a law implementing new regulations on crowdfunding + similar regulations have been introduced throughout the European Union. Very briefly, this means that it has been made possible to raise distributed capital in a legal and investor-securing way. The amount of the limit was also increased from €1 million to €5 million. Eur = $1 (more or less). We have established cooperation with the largest platform in CEE providing such services and we have a model of operation worked out. Of course, any change in regulations has it that some may be unclear or require interpretation, nevertheless, we are positive and are gathering feedback from government institutions confirming our understanding.

Hello Aaron! Regarding feedback management within the product sphere, we're actually using Cycle app (https://twitter.com/CycleProduct) to gather feedbacks from a lot of different sources and send them to different delivery tools (linear, github, gitlab, ...). I'm a bit biased because this is the product I am currently working on but I have the feeling it is definitely feeling a gap a lot of product managers are experiencing.
Junior Owolabi
@martin_delobbe1 Great landing page, be careful creating an all-in-one tool, because customer support for this is difficult. ProductPlan, Airfocus and ProductBoard do similar to the product description on your landing page; how will your product differentiate?
Martin Delobbe
@rilwan_owolabi1 You have it right! Our main focus is to connect the discovery with the delivery by being a hub from where you can manage your feedbacks (coming from a multitude of sources like slack, discord, email, ...) split/aggregate them and send them to your favorite delivery tools (github, linear, gitlab, ...). Once the feature is shipped, you can close the feedback loop by coming back to your customer. The landing page is a bit old but stay in touch, we'll soon launch the next one with a clearer value proposition !

I have been working on Elephas (https://elephas.app), to help business professionals write & rewrite content effortlessly on Mac. Recently launched version 2.3, with an advanced rewrite mode. I am hoping to work with my users to understand their use cases and fine-tune the tool.

I'm currently working on Bookmark Llama, a browser extension that lets teams share bookmarks with each other natively from the browser. We initially had this idea for development teams (specifically remote teams of 6-12 people). Since we launched on the web store, we've had various use cases, from project management to development to recipes, gaming, travel, real estate, and more. We're looking for more feedback to continue improving our user experience. So if anyone feels like trying it out and giving feedback, we'd be very happy to hear from you! 🙂
Roberto Morais
We're working to improve the landing page on Percival (https://www.percival.live/), the only fair, light and scalable tool for individual performance appraisals in teams based on some feedbacks we received. Our biggest problem right now is how to speed sales up and make it less concierge. All of our clients are happy and the product itself is very low maintenance.

Hi Aaron, I'm Mahnoosh, Founder of Wise Woman. Let me start with my favourite quote from Clare Boothe Luce: "A woman's best protection is a little money of her own." At Wise Woman, https://wisewoman.colivar.ch/, we are giving the "voice" to women and breaking the double-glass ceiling in finance. We create the confidence for all women to take control of their wealth investment, of any size. We want to change the way that women look at money. Why? Because we are a firm believer that accesses to financial education is essential for everyone, but for women is paramount. There is a multiplier effect to having women with financial wisdom. Wealth investment is not a luxury choice but a must-have for 21st-century women. How do we achieve this? At Wise Woman, we provide secure hands-on learning in a prepared and transparent environment. Women co-create their desired investment portfolio, learning from their own mistakes. However, we offer a constructive recommendation. We create a wealth management Montessori system. We teach the women investors that investment is a marathon, not a sprint! At a Wise Woman, you will learn about debt, saving, and investment decision-making power. You will know the importance of setting a financial goal and achieving it. What is the Roadmap? I'll be sending weekly/bi-weekly short surveys with weekly newsletters to the Beta campaigners. I love to hear from you about this product or if you have any questions. I'll love to answer them.

I very recently (today) launched Serve (https://www.withserve.com/) which is a low-code platform for developers to generate APIs super quickly! I haven't found much success trying to find beta users through cold emails and DMs, but I'd love some people to try it out and give me feedback on my product, thanks!
