Hi Product Hunters! 👋 Solo founder who got tired of watching businesses lose customers silently
Hi Product Hunters! 👋
I'm Shahrukh, a solo full-stack engineer and founder from Karachi, Pakistan.
I've spent 8+ years building software products and for the last couple of years I've been obsessed with one problem I kept seeing around me.
Business owners working incredibly hard every single day. Cafes, clinics, retail stores, restaurants. And at the end of that long exhausting day, a pile of feedback forms nobody read, WhatsApp voice notes nobody listened to, and feedback cards sitting on a counter going nowhere.
Somewhere in that pile was always the one customer who had a bad experience. And by the time anyone found it — that customer was already gone.
So, I built Percept Pulse.
Customers share how they feel in 3 seconds; emoji tap or voice in any language. AI transcribes, translates, and classifies sentiment instantly. You see the overall mood on a live dashboard. And the moment someone feels angry or sad, you get notified immediately. Even if it's midnight.
No more digging. Just the signal that matters, the moment it matters.
Today I launched Percept Pulse 2.0 with offline mode, push notifications, and a native app experience. No App Store needed.
I'm building this completely solo, every line of code, every design, every decision. It's terrifying and exciting at the same time.
If you're a founder, a business operator, or someone who's ever lost a customer silently, I'd genuinely love to connect.

Hi @shahrukh_shahrukh - Welcome and good luck with The Perfect Pulse.
@codeandsea Thanks. Would love to stay connected and have your support on the launch.
The bit that stuck with me is the one bad review always sitting in a pile nobody opened till it was too late. Shrinking the gap between someone feeling bad and someone actually knowing, down to minutes, is the whole game. I'm curious what gets people to tap on the way out though. That 3-second window is real, but so is the urge to just leave. Did emoji vs voice change how many people bothered? Building all of it solo from Karachi is no joke, rooting for you on the 2.0 launch.
The strongest part of this is that it comes from a real offline business problem, not from an abstract AI use case.But I think the next validation question is not “is real-time sentiment useful?”It’s: will customers actually give the 3-second feedback before they leave?
