Hey Product Hunt

1. No simple, affordable credit layer to bridge payment processors with user balances developers rebuild credit tracking, consumption logic, and refunds for every app.

2. For 5 years, goods have been stolen from the office. There is no available service that automatically analyzes camera footage and sends alerts about suspicious activity.

3. Risk of a LinkedIn ban due to false positive bot detection. Official support is unhelpful. Need a tool that warns about suspicious activity to avoid losing 11,500 followers.

My journey in startups began 10 years ago, and I've launched 18 startups, most of which failed. Briefly on why they failed:
1. Contract Online my first startup in 2015, which was supposed to be an online service for remote signing of contracts for any transactions between individuals. A kind of analogue of a secure transaction. For this startup, I even managed to attract a business angel who invested $16,500.

Reason for failure: I had two lawyers on my team who discovered in the process that the legal framework at the time could not provide reliable grounds for protecting our users in remote transactions. The contracts would not have been considered legally signed.
2. Natural Products In 2015-2018, I became very passionate about healthy eating, but in the process, I discovered that products in all chain stores are full of chemicals, and stores with truly natural products are inaccessible to the majority. Hence, the idea emerged to create my own online platform where you could order natural products directly from farmers at affordable prices.

Reason for failure: For several years, I tried to launch this project, even trained as a baker of natural bread and tried to create my own farm, but in the process, I found that few people are willing to pay for truly natural products, even if these products were only 20-30% more expensive than market prices, and not 2-3 times more, as in premium stores. Hence, the market was so small that all my attempts were doomed.

I came to exactly the same conclusion that real startup ideas often come from simple and boring problems. From my own experience: I spent three years on a startup that was supposed to revolutionize online education, but in the end it had 0 users. Now I ve just started solving a simple problem for home appliance repair technicians and immediately got my first paying users on a very rough MVP.

1. A 3-year search for a simple tool to track both personal and business finances in one place. Nothing fits.

2. Website owners constantly need minor edits in the admin panel. They are forced to pay specialists for 5-minute tasks. We need an AI agent that does this on command in the browser.

3. An indie hacker spends 20-30 hours manually cold launching each new product in directories, Reddit, and blogs. There is no tool that fully automates this and proves its effectiveness.

4. A freelancer often loses in proposal competitions due to the inability to quickly create personalized and visual website concepts for each job order.

5. A Telegram channel owner is losing their audience without understanding the reasons for unsubscriptions. There is no simple tool for automatically collecting feedback from departed subscribers.

Guys, a month ago, Anna, a product designer, reached out to me from the ProblemHunt community. She described her problem in detail in DMs. It was probably the most genuine and sincere description of pain I have ever seen. Anna has this ability to talk about her problems with complete openness and raw emotion for any researcher, it's an absolute gift.

Today she shared a new problem, and I've just posted it now. It's hard for me to convey the tone through text in a post, but trust me, it's genuinely painful. It's that intense fear of a designer becoming obsolete in the era of AI.

1. 5 partners 5 different CV templates. Managers spend 20 40 minutes on each adaptation, up to 15 times a week. Over a year of this routine. No ready-made solutions found.

2. Healthcare professionals want AI for diagnosis, documentation, and patient care but training doesn't scale and tools feel too technical. Need a simple, clinically relevant path.

Hey, friends!
We've posted 5 new problems. Especially check out problem #4 (first I laughed, then I thought about it, and then I posted it ).
1. Nigeria's transport trap: Uber/Bolt too expensive, okada too deadly, Danfo buses a nightmare. Millions need safe, affordable carpooling. Ready to pay.

2. Photographer loses 20 30% of clients to spam needs an AI clone with a copy of her voice to answer calls and book sessions.
3. Voice control for AI coding breaks when I change my mind mid-sentence. Need an AI intermediary that cleans up prompts through conversation before sending.

4. Need a smart device that automatically detects pigeons and permanently deters them. Everything on the market only works temporarily.

I know it isn't just me because I have a number of LCNC friends who, like me, won't even open Stripe before first opening ChatGPT or something similar to guide me through the maze that is Stripe.
Here's me, having just downloaded Claude Cowork, really doubtful that it is going to make any difference with the seven stuck projects I have in Stripe...

1. The lack of a service that creates hyper-personalized, gamified English courses (in the Duolingo format) for narrow professional niches (e.g., for a barista in a vegan coffee shop or a startup founder.

2. Automating cross-posting of an indie hacker's technical content across multiple platforms (Twitter, LinkedIn, Product Hunt) while adhering to each platform's best practices.
