How I started building this

It started with my own apartment (you can see it here https://liftmyplace.com/share/30d50fdd-e513-4380-91b0-a8951dc9e501)

I'd been staring at the same outdated interior for months, weird layout, old-fashioned fixtures, zero personality. I knew what I wanted it to look like, but I couldn't visualize it clearly enough to commit to renovations.

So I tried the usual options:

• Interior design apps (too basic, cookie-cutter results, no amazon links)

• Hiring a designer for mockups (€800 minimum just to "see" possibilities)

• Learning 3D software myself (yeah, no. Life's too short)

All I wanted was to upload a photo and see "here's what your space could look like." Instantly. Without spending a fortune.

That tool didn't exist. So I started building it.

Fast forward a few months: what began as a personal itch turned into something real estate agents and property developers are now asking about. Turns out I'm not the only one who struggles to "see the potential."

Question for fellow makers: Did any of you start building something for yourself that accidentally became a product? How did you make the pivot from personal project to actual business?

Would love to hear your stories. 🛠️
