Over the past couple of months(not sure how many :), I’ve been building a set of minimal, no-bloat tools aimed at solo entrepreneurs.

I’m trying to figure out if this solves a real problem or if I’ve been tinkering in a vacuum.

Would love your honest feedback.. brutal is fine on whether this belongs in an already crowded space or should be scrapped entirely.

This wheel has been reinvented again and again. The $$$ seems very attractive. But simple is a scam… https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44838059 Make an existing Foss wheel better. This is a hard crowded market with many many tools and solutions. But the problems are seldom solved with a tool alone.
