Show HN: ImproveThis, refine messages based on who you're writing to

https://improvethis.ai
1•buildwithdep•1h ago
Hi HN,

I recently shipped a small MVP called ImproveThis, and I wanted to share the thinking behind it and get feedback from the community.

The core idea is simple: the same message can sound very different depending on who it’s sent to. A note to a manager, a colleague, or a friend often needs a different tone, even if the intent is the same.

ImproveThis lets users define people they commonly write to and refines text accordingly. What’s interesting to me isn’t the AI part, but the product decisions around it.

I actually bought the domain back in May 2025, but between a full time job and personal commitments, I kept postponing it. Recently, I decided to stop optimizing for “perfect” and instead ship something usable and learn from real usage.

A few deliberate choices in this MVP: - No pricing plans yet - No payment integration - One free plan with 100 refinements per month - No credit card required

At this stage, I’m prioritizing usage patterns and feedback over monetization. I want to understand: When people actually use this Whether the “who you’re writing to” framing is helpful What feels unnecessary or missing

I’m sharing this here because HN discussions tend to surface practical feedback that’s hard to get elsewhere. Happy to answer questions about the product, the decisions behind it, or where I’m unsure. Feedback very welcome.
