DesignBrief turns a rough idea into a complete engineering design package — structured, saved, and ready to share. Start with your idea and get a full brief covering specs, constraints, and current regulations for your domain. Three concept directions with trade-offs give you options before you commit. A risk critique catches problems early. A rationale doc captures every decision for your team. Share any brief with teammates via a read-only link.

Hey PH! 👋 I built DesignBrief because the first hour of every engineering project looks the same turning a rough idea into a proper brief. Problem statement, specs, constraints, regulatory requirements. Repetitive, slow, and usually ends up underdocumented. DesignBrief walks you through the full process brief, concept directions, risk critique, and rationale doc and saves everything to your account so you can come back to it, share it, or pick up where you left off. It's the first tool from selfbyt.com, a small suite I'm building for engineers and technical creatives. Would love to hear from anyone in product design, mechanical engineering, or industrial design what does your current brief process look like, and what would make this genuinely useful for you?
