About

Indie maker and founder of Briefance (briefance.com) — a vertical AI SaaS for freelancers, designers, developers, and small agencies. Briefance takes any chaotic client input (an email, a Slack thread, a half-written PDF, a voice note) and converts it into a structured, sendable project brief in about 3 seconds: scope, timeline, budget range, deliverables, missing questions, and a one-click proposal. We compress the 1–2 hours every freelancer spends scoping a new project into a single click. Built on Next.js 16, Anthropic Claude, and Supabase. Free tier, no credit card. Launched on Product Hunt on April 14, 2026. Built by freelancers, for freelancers. Say hi: info@thecodevolt.com

What I learned launching my solo SaaS on PH last week

Hey PH.

Launched Briefance here last week. Solo founder, Istanbul, no team, no investors. Wanted to share what actually happened instead of the usual "thank you so much" post.

Quick context: Briefance turns chaotic client emails into structured briefs. Freelancer target. Paste the mess, get scope, timeline, budget, and follow up questions in ten seconds. Free tier has 3 briefs, no card needed.

Here's what the launch week taught me.

We built Briefance to kill the 1–2 hour client scoping ritual

Hey PH

Every freelance project starts in the same place. A client sends something like this:

"Hey, I want a website. Something modern. Maybe like Apple but for our industry. Also can it do that thing where the menu sticks to the top? My cousin said we need SEO too. When can you start?"

Then the ritual kicks in. You read it three times. Open a notes file. Try to figure out what they actually want. Make a list of what they forgot (scope, deadline, budget, domain, tech). Guess the effort. Guess the price. Write a polite reply asking for details. Wait two days. Get half an answer. Repeat.

We just launched Briefance — turning messy client emails into ready to send briefs

Hey everyone

After months of heads-down work, Briefance is officially live on Product Hunt today.

The problem we kept hitting as freelancers: every project starts with a messy thread a vague client email, a Slack dump, a half-finished PDF. You spend an hour just figuring out what they actually want before you can quote anything.

Briefance takes that mess and turns it into a structured brief: scope, budget, timeline, deliverables, and a sendable proposal. Drop in the email or PDF, get a clean brief back. Export it, share it, and track when the client opens it.
