About

Hi Product Hunt! 👋 I’m Melchior, the maker behind Audea. After 17 years as an Art Director, I pivoted to tackle a major taboo: French inheritance tax (which hits up to 60%). We are entering the 'Great Wealth Transfer'—the largest wealth shift in history. Yet, people avoid succession planning because legal jargon is terrifying and existing tools are outdated. I built Audea to change that. It’s a modern, Nudge-oriented simulator (built with Next.js) helping families instantly calculate their tax exposure and visualize optimization strategies. Since it's specific to French law, you might not be the target user, but I’d love your feedback on the UX/UI and the mobile-first flow! Let me know what you think!
