PettyPoints is a scorekeeping app for couples and roommates - you log grievances, the other person can dispute them, and if you can't agree, three friends vote blind via a browser link to settle it. Whoever wins can send their partner a AI-written roast of their week's crimes.
The weird part of building it solo: almost every other app I've made only needs one person to actually use it and like it. This one doesn't work unless two people buy in - one person can't really experience the product alone. That's forced some decisions I wouldn't have made otherwise (no subscription, ever - one person buys, the other plays free, because charging both people to argue with each other felt insane).
Every relationship has one unresolved war - dishes, the thermostat, who actually took the trash out. PettyPoints turns it into a game with rules, receipts and a verdict.
File the crime the second it happens (add photo evidence). They'll swear it wasn't them - take it to the jury. Up to 3 friends vote blind, and the scoreboard doesn't care about your feelings.
Lose the week? Our AI writes you a roast using your own crimes against you.
One partner pays, the other plays free. No subscription, ever.
Most Americans have thought about it at least once - after a bad storm, after the Texas 2021 collapse, after reading about grid vulnerabilities. But very few have actually done anything about it.
I've been building IsGridUp - a free AI-powered planner that asks you 8 questions about your home and gives you a personalized energy backup plan in under 5 minutes. No signup, no contractor call, no sales pressure.
But before I launch tomorrow, I'm genuinely curious:
If you had to survive a 7-day grid outage starting right now what's your biggest gap?
