Hey! I'm Ibrahim. I spent the last several months building StockAlert (onlinestockalert.com), a stock management tool for small businesses retail shops, restaurants, bakeries, caf s.
Why I built it: Small business owners kept losing money from stockouts and late reorders. They either used Excel or nothing at all. I wanted something simple that actually sends alerts and lets you reorder from suppliers in one click.
What I shipped:
Automatic low-stock alerts
One-click supplier orders via WhatsApp, PDF, or Email
Restaurant mode with recipe & portion tracking
POS integration (Stripe + Square)
Multilingual: FR / EN / NL
My biggest launch lessons so far:
Don't wait for "perfect" bugs will find you in production anyway
Unit mismatches (kg vs g) can silently break core features test edge cases early
Environment variables in production will humble you Would love feedback on the product or the positioning. Anyone else building for brick-and-mortar businesses?
Start writing things down, and tag them by people, events, actions, feelings, location, and activity.
Don't just let things be in your head.
Go over them when you have the time.
