The old way of selling online is broken. You design a product, order hundreds of units, pay for inventory, rent warehouse space, run ads and then hope people buy.
Most don't. 82% of small businesses fail because of cash flow problems.

Hi everyone I m a student working on a small web app that helps people who struggle to gain weight.
The idea came from my own problem hitting calorie goals and planning meals for bulking was really difficult. So I started building a simple AI-based tool that can: Suggest high-calorie meals Help track calorie intake Give personalized bulking recommendations
Right now it s just a prototype, and I m trying to understand if this problem is big enough and what features people actually want.
If you ve ever tried to gain weight or bulk, I d love to know:
What was the hardest part for you?
What features would you want in a tool like this?
Any feedback would really help me improve the product.

Social commerce will hit $2.6 trillion globally in 2026. 50.6% of US social media users made at least one social purchase last year. Incredible scale. But here's the uncomfortable question nobody asks: Which brands are actually making profit from it? TikTok Shop drives impulse buys. Instagram drives aspiration clicks. Both can destroy your margin if your unit economics are broken underneath. Revenue through social is easy to celebrate. Profit through social is something you have to deliberately engineer. Knowing your real numbers per channel is not optional anymore - it's survival.
