Nothing forces you to cut scope and ship an MVP quite like an immovable, highly personal deadline. I've been building Nellove: a modern wedding planning OS, to fix the chaos of scattered spreadsheets and vendor emails and guest management.
But I'm not just building it for a target market. My fianc e and I are actively relying on it to pull off our own event this June. When your own life is running on your beta software, the pressure to make the UX entirely frictionless is higher than any project I lead at my day job. It forces you to fix bugs fast.
Makers, what is the most intense personal constraint or hard deadline you ve ever built a product under? How did it change your approach to shipping and cutting features?
Hi Product Hunt! 👋 I’m JR, the maker of Nellove.
When my fiancée and I started planning our upcoming June wedding, we quickly found ourselves completely overwhelmed by disconnected spreadsheets, vendor emails, and chaotic checklists. As a software development lead, I knew there had to be a better way to manage a project with this many moving parts.
That’s why I built Nellove. I wanted to bring the speed, efficiency, and clean UI of modern productivity tools into the wedding space. Instead of jumping between five different apps, Nellove gives couples a single, centralized dashboard to manage guests, track expenses, and build timelines.
I built this to scratch my own itch, but I’m incredibly excited to share it with all of you.
I’d love your feedback! Poke around the dashboard and let me know: what features would take the stress out of planning major events for you? I’ll be hanging out here all day to answer your questions and talk tech!
