I launched a product a year ago that nobody could actually use. Last week I fixed that.

Hi Product Hunt, I'm Francesco. I build software from Italy.

Seven launches here in the past year — Fyn, TaxPilot, Paper2Base,

Cost Tracker, an audio plugin suite, a summarizer, and the one

that started it all.

Almost all of them came from the same place: something annoyed

me enough that I decided to fix it myself.

The first one was CoworkSpace Manager Pro. I was in a shared

office — not a coworking space, an associate studio, a few

professionals sharing rooms. The work was never the problem.

The meeting room was.

Someone had a client at 3. Someone else had booked the same

room for 2:30 and hadn't told anyone. A third had written it

on a whiteboard nobody read. Same argument every week,

occasionally in front of the client.

Shared calendars lasted about a month, until people stopped

updating them.

So I built the thing that refuses to let two bookings overlap.

I launched it a year ago as screenshots and a landing page.

Nobody could actually use it. Last week I finally put the whole

app online — real database, real bookings, four languages.

The demo is open, no signup. Try booking the same room twice

and watch it say no. That's the part I cared about.

Still no payments. I'd rather find out what's missing first.

Happy to talk to anyone building solo — it's slower than it

looks from the outside.

a year between screenshots and a real database is a brutal gap to sit in. what actually kept it as a landing page that long, was it just other launches eating the time or something about the booking logic that took forever to get right
