We're launching Tamp here on July 28. It's a specialty coffee journal log a bean in about 30 seconds plus discovery matched against live catalogs from 1,000+ roasters in 42 countries, synced daily from their own shops. Free, no paywall, iOS and Android.
Before launch day I'd rather hear objections than compliments. If you've tried tracking coffee before or even just use a notes app and stopped: what killed it? Too much typing? Nothing useful came back out? Something else?
Remember every bean. Discover your next favorite.
Most coffee apps are either brew timers or bare-bones logs. Tamp is built on something no other coffee app has: live catalogs from 1,000+ specialty roasters in 42 countries, synced daily from their own shops. Log a bean in 30 seconds — offline-first, one-handed — and Tamp matches your ratings against what's actually in stock right now. Free, no paywall.
We re all builders here, which usually means at some point we looked at something clunky, slow, or frustrating and thought, there has to be a better way. Most products don t start with a grand vision; they start with irritation, curiosity, or firsthand pain.
I d love to learn more about how others here have navigated that journey:
How did you uncover the problem you decided to work on? What signals told you this problem was worth solving? How did you validate (if at all) whether people would actually pay for a solution? Has your product stayed true to the original problem, or did it evolve into something different? What surprised you the most along the way?
