Hey everyone

I'm J sus J nior, founder of KriptaCorp a Brazilian tech company building software around one principle: your data belongs to you, not to the platform.

We're a small team building an ecosystem of tools:

• Kripta-Timer a time structuring instrument with 16 independent parallel timers. No urgency logic, no streaks, no pressure. Live at kripta-timer.kriptacorp.com

• Kripta-Organizer a local-first knowledge organizer. Think second brain, but your data stays on your machine.

• ARK Docs intelligent document management for businesses and law offices.

• Base-K our backend infrastructure platform (BaaS), built as an alternative to Firebase and Supabase with privacy by architecture, not by declaration.

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?

Hi Product Hunt! I m the maker of Sage

I built Sage after realizing something uncomfortable:

Most productivity tools worked
But they made me feel worse using them.

Timers felt aggressive.
Streaks felt punishing.
Missing a day felt like failure.
