I built an iOS app called Triply. It turns the travel reels and tiktoks you save into a mapped, planned trip. Share any video, AI pulls every place mentioned, drops them on a map, and you plan your trip from it.

I've been heads-down on this for a few months and I genuinely can't tell anymore if it's good, if it's stupid, or if I've talked myself into a problem nobody actually has.

So please roast away and be brutalllll

Three things I really want torn apart:

• Is this a real problem, or am I projecting my own dysfunction onto everyone else?
• Why isn't this just a Google Maps feature? Is it a product, or a feature pretending to be one?
• Is my tagline ("Save every place from any Reel in just one tap") garbage?

What I'm already scared of:

• Android users hating me (iOS-only for now)
• The whole premise being too niche to ever scale

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for honest advice, not trying to advertise.

My name is Amanuel. I’m Ethiopian, and for the last three months I’ve been building a Telegram-based task delegation system called Taskifay.

The idea is to help Ethiopian business owners delegate remote work in a more organized way.

For example, a business owner might need edited videos, graphic ads, carousel posts, captions, research, admin work, finance-related help, or a full content package. Instead of hiring someone full-time or manually chasing random freelancers, they can post one clear task request, choose the skill areas needed, set the budget and deadline, and receive applications from people who want to do the work.

The system is not just a simple “post and wait” idea. After a task doer is chosen, the bot helps manage the workflow. It starts the timer when the person confirms they are starting, sends reminders, tracks deadlines, opens revision windows, supports approval or fix requests, and uses ratings, task history, held payment, and dispute handling to make the process feel safer for both sides.

Now, I know what some people may be thinking:

“Doesn’t Upwork or Fiverr already exist?”

And honestly, that is one of the questions I’m trying to think through seriously.

The reason I still believe this might matter is because the Ethiopian market is different.

For many local Ethiopian businesses, paying international freelance prices in USD can be very expensive because of the currency difference. Even if a task looks affordable on a global platform, the cost can feel very different when you are earning and operating in Ethiopian birr.

There is also the local context issue.

A lot of Ethiopian businesses don’t just need “a designer” or “a video editor.” They need someone who understands the language, the humor, the culture, the way Ethiopian customers respond online, the local business environment, and the kind of content that feels natural here.

That is especially true for businesses that want content for TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, or Telegram. A technically good video can still fail if the wording, tone, timing, or cultural feeling is off.

So my thinking is not: “Let me copy Fiverr.”

My thinking is more: “Can there be a more local, affordable, and trust-focused way for Ethiopian businesses to delegate work to Ethiopian task doers, using local currency, local payment methods, local context, and a workflow that keeps both sides accountable?”

That is the problem I’m trying to solve.

A lot of businesses don’t need full-time employees for every task, but they still need work done properly. And many skilled Ethiopians can do this work, but they don’t always have access to business owners who need them.

I especially think it could help Ethiopian businesses and diaspora business owners who need content that fits the Ethiopian market, because local wording, humor, visuals, and culture matter a lot in content.

But here is where I’m stuck:

It has been around three months, and getting the first real customers has been much harder than I expected.

I’m starting to question whether the problem is the idea, the way I explain it, the trust issue, the target audience, the platform being on Telegram, the payment flow, the fact that people already think of Upwork/Fiverr, or just the fact that I don’t have enough proof yet.

So I wanted to ask people here honestly:

If you were in my position, how would you get the first 3 to 5 real customers?

Would you target business owners, marketers, agencies, shop owners, diaspora founders, or freelancers first?

Does this sound like a real local problem, or am I forcing an idea that people may not care about enough?

What would make a business owner trust a new system like this?

Would you lead with “local Ethiopian alternative to global platforms,” “save money compared to hiring full-time,” “avoid chasing freelancers,” “get Ethiopian-market content,” or “safer task delegation”?

What would make you ignore a post like this?

And what would make you actually try it?

I’m open to brutal feedback. I would rather hear the truth now than keep building in the wrong direction.

Thank you.

What it does: Helps Amazon KDP authors find low-competition, high-search keywords so their books actually rank.

Why I built it: I was spending hours manually searching Amazon categories. Existing tools like Publisher Rocket cost $97/year and felt outdated.

Current state: Beta, free tier available.

Roast away — pricing, positioning, UI, anything.

Well... let me know what you think.

I built Pivot Sports, a free iOS and web app for sports team management. The idea came from my local tennis club where everything was handled through text threads.

I’m currently working on getting people from my tennis club to start using it, but I still need to improve the mobile web experience since Android isn’t supported yet.

Current features:

• Create teams and groups
• Schedule events
• RSVP tracking
• Team discussions
• In-app notifications
• Role management and invite codes

IOS: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/pivot-sports/id6756797740

Web: https://pivotsports.app

Roast me politely please 😃

The product: v-1.design. Type one sentence ("habit tracker for runners") and it generates a named design system — contrast-checked color palette, type scale, components — plus every main screen as real React/Tailwind you can copy. Then you point at any screen and say "redo this darker" and it redraws it. It's for devs/founders who can build the app but freeze when it's time to make it look good.

The market: crowded and a little scary. v0, Lovable, Bolt, and Figma's AI stuff all circle this space. Most of them spit out a one-off screen; my bet is on the design SYSTEM part — consistent tokens across every screen so the whole app stays on-brand, not just one pretty page.

Where I think I'm weak (be honest with me here): v0 has Vercel's whole distribution machine and I have about 40 followers and zero marketing budget. Vague prompts can still give you a generic-looking first pass. And honestly I'm not 100% sure the "design system" framing even matters to buyers vs. them just wanting "give me one nice screen."

Stage: it's live, payments actually work (one-time credit packs), I have a handful of users and basically $0 revenue. What I need is brutal feedback on whether the core promise is actually compelling or whether I'm solving a problem people don't really feel. Free to try, no card: https://v-1.design

Roast the positioning, the pricing, the demo, whatever you want — mostly I want to hear why you wouldn't pay for it.

Built a savings app where each goal is a mountain you climb (deposits = progress up the slope, with streaks to keep the habit going). The entire point is that it should NOT feel like a budgeting spreadsheet.

So the one thing I need before launch — from this screen alone, gut reaction:

A game you'd open daily, or a chore you'd ignore?

One word is fine. If it's "chore," tell me the thing that's pushing it that way.

Just launched Notice on iOS this week. 3 months solo build. Want the harsh feedback before I commit to a v1.1.0 roadmap.

What it is: a journaling app that surfaces one deep insights  per day about your own life. Patterns you'd never have spotted yourself. Stuff like "you sleep 40 minutes less on days you drink coffee after 2pm." You log moods, habits, and short reflections; the app does pattern detection locally and tells you what it found.

Decisions I made that might be roastable:

- Free to download. £4.99/month or £39.99/year for "Notice Plus" (unlocks the full insights feed and unlimited reflections).

- iOS only at launch. Android nowhere on the roadmap.

- Pattern detection is statistical methods, not LLMs. I genuinely don't think AI-generated insights are the right tool for journaling, but maybe I'm wrong.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/notice-journal-habits/id6769771645

What I want roasted, specifically: 

1. The positioning. Is "the journal that pays attention" actually different enough from what's already in the App Store, or am I lying to myself? 

2. The pricing. £4.99/month feels right to me. Other indies have told me it's too expensive for an indie launch with no reviews. Am I leaving money on the table or am I overpricing? 

3. iOS-only. Half my potential audience is on Android. Am I being lazy or strategic? 

4. The feed mechanic itself. Is "patterns surface into a feed over time" the right pacing, or do users want one big weekly summary or something denser? 

Tell me what's actually broken. I'd rather hear it now than learn it from declining numbers in 3 months. 

Background for context: 18, solo dev, no funding, no team. First app. Earning from indie work, no salary, so the cost of being wrong is real.

Going to be honest because I'm too close to see the problem anymore.

I've spent the last few months building Cristioa, a business-idea site with a founder-fit quiz. The idea: instead of another "100 business ideas" list, it scores 104 hand-researched ideas against your profile so you find one that fits how you actually want to work. I put real work in. Every idea has named competitors, real pricing, honest red flags. There's a quiz, guides, the whole thing.

And it's getting almost nothing. Barely any traffic, no sales yet. I did everything you're "supposed" to do for SEO: unique content, schema, internal linking, sitemap, the full checklist. Just started posting on Reddit this week. Still mostly crickets.

I genuinely can't tell anymore if the problem is:

• the positioning (does the founder-fit angle even make sense to you, or is it confusing?)
• the site itself (does it look untrustworthy, cluttered, slow?)
• the offer (would you ever pay $29 for a personalized report, or is that delusional?)
• or it's just early and I need to be patient

I'd rather hear it's broken and fix it than keep polishing something nobody wants. Brutal feedback genuinely welcome.

What's the first thing that makes you want to close the tab?

Hi everyone,

My friends and I have been working on a career development platform called Professionist. The website is almost complete with most of its main features built.

The platform is meant to help students and early-career people improve how they present themselves professionally, especially with resumes, profiles, career planning, and job preparation.

Before we officially release it, we are looking for honest constructive feedback from people who would actually use something like this. Here are the 3 main tools:

1. Magic Resume: Improves your existing resume by looking what keywords your lacking, gaps in your resume, formatting, etc.

The following tools use the Magic Resume as the base.

1. Event Hub: Looks at the resume that you made on the website and see which networking events around your area like Hackathons, Meetups, Workshops for different students.

2. Connection Nexus: Looks at your resume and helps you find recruiters or professionals you should reach out to or see how they're resume looks so you can see what your resume lacks.

Some feedback we are looking for:

•  Do the features feel useful for students or early-career job seekers?
•  Is the platform easy to understand and does it look professional?
•  Does anything feel generic, unnecessary, or missing?
•  Would you actually use something like this? If you would, what features would YOU LIKE?

However we are wondering if this is worth pursuing?

If anyone is cool sending their thoughts let us know.

I spent 2 years doomscrolling until 1:47am, telling myself "just five more minutes," then hating myself in the morning. Tried deleting Instagram. Reinstalled it 11 hours later. Tried Opal. Bypassed it. Tried willpower. Willpower doesn't exist at midnight.
So I built the thing I actually needed.

What it does

Bliss auto-blocks your distracting apps 30 minutes before bed and 30 minutes after you wake up.

Then — instead of staring at a wall — it gives you a 60-second breathwork session (box breathing, 4-7-8, physiological sigh). There are also structured Vipassana, Anapana, and Yoga Nidra / NSDR courses if you want to go deeper.

The whole thing is rooted in the Buddhist & Yogic tradition, not celebrity bedtime stories.

The thesis: every other blocker fails because of the vacuum it creates. You block the app, your brain panics, you reinstall it. Bliss blocks the app AND fills the silence. That's the entire product.

iOS only. Launched. Early users. No outside funding — bootstrapped. Still figuring out positioning, onboarding, and whether the "block + breath" concept is instantly clear or confusing. Pricing is 99$ for lifetime for early users - no subscription is what I’m thinking. No Android yet.

Why me
I've sat multiple meditation retreats. This isn't a wellness-influencer cash grab — I built the daily practice I wanted after I came home from a 10-day retreat and couldn't maintain it. The app is an attempt to bring Anapana and Vipassana into a format that fits between your alarm and your commute.

Link: getbliss.app

Where does this thesis crack? Is "blocker + breathwork" a wedge or a confusion? What's the most obvious thing I'm getting wrong? Any and all feedback will be greatly appreciated.

Product: a small Miro app that turns a Pinterest board into a Miro moodboard. The use case is for people who collect references in Pinterest, then need to discuss or organize them in Miro.

Market: I think the real users are designers, brand teams, researchers, planners, and maybe agencies. I do not know if that is a real market or just a workflow itch inside a small group of people.

Competition: mostly manual copy/paste, screenshots, leaving the Pinterest board open in another tab, or rebuilding the board inside Miro by hand. The risk is that this should just be a tiny native Miro feature, not a standalone thing.

Stage: built and listed in the Miro Marketplace. Not raising money. I am trying to figure out if the narrow pain is worth pushing harder, or if I am overvaluing a task that only annoys me.

Customer conversion: find people already complaining about reference cleanup, moodboards, Pinterest boards, Miro boards, or moving visual research between tools. If they already describe the problem in their own words, then show the app. If they do not, I probably should not try to create the pain for them.

Why me: I built it because I kept seeing this handoff in planning and visual work. No special founder story. Just close enough to the workflow to notice the boring manual step.

Roast the weak parts. Is this a real workflow problem, or just a convenience? Does "Pinterest to Miro moodboards" sound clear, or does it sound too tiny to care about?

I just launched DreamOut on iOS.
It started as a personal dream journaling practice, but I realized the journal part is only half of the habit. The harder part is coming back to a dream later and asking better questions about it.
The app lets people record dreams, revisit them through 19 different reflection lenses, continue the exploration in a chat style flow, and turn dream scenes into AI artwork in 10 visual styles.
My worry is that the positioning is still not sharp enough.
Does this sound like:
a real product people might use
a weird niche toy
too vague and spiritual
feature soup

Please be blunt. I am especially interested in what would make you close the page in the first 10 seconds.

My wife and I both work full time. Different employers, different PTO allowances, 1 or 2 different public holidays. Every January we sit down and try to plan the whole year off together and it always turns into a spreadsheet nightmare.

So I built something. A shared year calendar where you can add two people, see when you're both free automatically, track each person's remaining PTO days, and handle all the public holiday differences per country.

It just got a full redesign last week and I added paid plans. Here's where I need the roast.

The pricing:

Free: one person, no card required. You get the full calendar, public holidays for 190+ countries, custom company days.

Pro: $1.99/month or $0.99/month billed yearly ($11.88/year). Adds sharing so your partner can see and edit too. 7-day free trial included.

Lifetime: $14.99 once. Everything in Pro, forever.

My logic was that this is a "vitamin" product, not a painkiller. It makes life nicer but people aren't going to die without it. So the price has to be impulse-buy level or nobody converts. The lifetime deal is there to give people an obvious anchor.

Current state: about 21 signups. One person actually uses it properly (has their whole 2026 mapped out). The rest signed up and haven't come back.

I'm a software engineer building this as a side project before my day job starts. This is my first real attempt at building something people pay for.

Questions I genuinely need answers to:

1. Does the pricing feel right for a personal tool like this, or does even $1.99/month feel like friction for something that's not mission-critical?
2. The free plan already includes overlap highlighting and sharing (the partner joins free). Is that too generous? Am I giving away the whole product?
3. 21 signups, 1 active user. Is that a product problem, a marketing problem, or just "too early to tell"?

Roast me. I'd rather hear it now than after I've spent another 6 months on this.

Be as violent as you can be, I can take it. Oasis sends minimal interaction data to our company so we can improve the ai assistant, fix bugs, measure latency, and understand what helps. By default, personalization is off: payloads are anonymized with no email or account ID. You only share identifying fields if you opt in from Settings.

Unlike browsers that can gather broad behavioral signals in the background, Oasis is explicit about what leaves your device. We do not build ad profiles from your location, searches, likes, or purchases. Sensitive context stays local.

Bring it on! Nothing but your true feeling about

1. the business idea. What I think is that in order for my kids to tell good or bad for finicial behaviours, we have to learn them before the haslers do. And I should not be alone with this thourght.
   
2. the implementation from the website and the screenshots. https://kidsmoney.uhero.no/ We will invite for testflight access as well.
   
3. whats your concern with teach the kids money concept?We create this app for parents and kids, core target kids are 7-10, and the parents. The limitation for kids that age is that many of them will not have their own phone, so it might be a shared device.

It is not an accounting app for kid, but it helps kids to log things, to setup some goal, like what you want to buy, and based on all that, it helps the family to talk about the money, the decisions in a tangible way.

I hate the idea of ads in kids apps, so there will be no ads. But for the business module, shall we charge as a one time paid app? a micro saas with subscription? or?

so this might be useful to some of you. my cousin has two little ones (3 and 5) who want a new bedtime story every single night, and the parents were completely out of ideas. I'm a software developer, so I ended up building them a little app for it. the kids got kind of obsessed with it, so figured I'd share here in case it helps anyone else.

the way it works is you just tell it an idea. it can be whatever the kid comes up with, "a dinosaur who doesn't like vegetables," "a little girl who flies to the moon," anything. it writes the whole story, draws a picture for every page, and reads it out loud in a nice voice. you get the finished book in a few seconds.

the part the kids love most is putting themselves in it. my niece asks for stories where she's the main character and it'll use her name the whole way through, and she thinks that's the best thing ever.

and you can use it however you want. every page has the text and a picture, so you can read it to them yourself like a normal picture book, or on the nights you're completely wiped out you can just let the AI voice narrate it. that part's been really nice honestly.

you get a few credits when you sign up, so you can make a couple of books and see if your
kids like it before paying for anything. it's at storynest.app.space.

(and in case anyone's curious how it's made, I basically vibe-coded the whole thing myself in about a day with Claude Code and an SDK called DeepSpace. if you're at all techy and  have your own app idea kicking around, it's worth a look, kind of wild how fast you can get something real working now.)

happy to answer questions if anyone gives it a go. and if your kids make something funny with it I'd genuinely love to hear about it.

i built the first version of cabinette.io

it started from a personal problem: i save too many articles, youtube videos, pdfs, and notes, then rarely return to them.

over time, my saved stuff started feeling less like a library and more like a graveyard. cabinette is my attempt to fix that.

the idea is simple - instead of just saving things, you tell cabinet how much time you have. maybe 10, 20, or 45 minutes. it then shows you articles, videos, or pdfs from your own library that fit that time slot.

so the question changes from “what should i read/watch?" to “what can i actually get through right now?”

i’m also building the other pieces around that:

• saving articles, videos, pdfs, and notes in one place
• taking notes while reading or watching
• highlighting useful parts
• asking questions about a specific article or video via inbuilt ai chat
• asking questions across your whole library

it’s meant for people who already save a lot of things using notion, readwise, pocket, raindrop, apple notes, bookmarks, youtube watch later, etc., but feel like most of it never gets revisited.

i’m not trying to sell anything right now. i’m trying to understand if this is a real enough pain for other people too.

would love feedback from anyone who has this problem. thanks!

Built a waitlist for Rake over the last 48 hours. Here's the concept:

You connect your bank or just upload a CSV from your own bank. Rake finds every subscription draining your account, flags anything unused or price hiked, and cancels them automatically through the provider's website, by email, or by cutting off the payment method entirely.

Nothing gets cancelled without your confirmation. Hard limits built in, phone carriers, internet, insurance never touched automatically. Ever.

New subscriptions creep in every month. Free trials auto renew at 3am. Prices get hiked quietly. Rake monitors continuously so you never have to do a manual audit again.

If Rake doesn't save you $12 in the first 3 months it cancels itself. Because that's what we do.

Concerns I've already heard and addressed:

Trust and bank connection - CSV upload option, no bank login required.

Wire fraud on AI voice calls - valid, legal architecture needed before that feature ships.

Why keep paying after subscriptions are cleaned up - new ones creep in constantly, monitoring is the ongoing value.

One and done - considering a free one time audit tier.

What am I missing? Be brutal.

Waitlist in comments.

Stacked — a social prediction app where you bet on anything with your mates using virtual coins. Tinder-style swipe to predict, 1v1 challenges with counter-offer negotiation, leagues with pick’ems, daily auto-generated bets, leaderboards. No real money.
Built it solo for 6 months.

The thesis I’m betting on:

Prediction markets have exploded — Polymarket, Kalshi, Manifold. They’re great, but 95% of people will never touch them. They’re built for traders. The markets are about politics and macro. Real money creates friction. Predicting against strangers feels like trading, not playing.

The missing layer is predictions between people you actually know, on things you actually care about. Will Tom break 90 this round? Will my brother actually finish his thesis this month? Same prediction-market mechanics, completely different stakes — reputation and bragging rights instead of P&L.

What’s actually built:
Full product, not a prototype. Full auth, dispute system with auto-resolver and admin queue, league system with kicks/atomic refunds/pick’em rounds, friend system, 1v1 challenge negotiation flow, daily house bets generated via Polymarket API. US legal pages, age-gated signup, abuse layer, and email infrastructure all shipped this month.

The real test:
Took it on a golf trip last weekend with my brother and 6 mates. All 7 signed up. 0 placed a single bet. Cold-start problem is real even when you bring the cold start with you on a plane.

What I think might be wrong (you tell me which one is actually it):
• Thesis is right but the activation flow is broken — first-bet friction is too high
• Thesis is half-right — friends will play, but only with something more at stake than bragging rights
• Thesis is wrong — without real money the motivation just isn’t there at the casual level
• I’m building Polymarket for normies but normies don’t actually want Polymarket in any form

Stack: vanilla JS on Netlify, Firebase Cloud Functions, Firestore.

Would love this group to tell me where the thesis cracks. Link in my bio if you want to check it out in real

Hello everyone,

My developer friend and I decided to build a resume builder (JobFix.ai) that would address a problem we continuously faced, which is the painful amount of time it takes to customize every resume to a specific job description.

Full disclosure-we are both developers, not designers. This explains why the UI was built using an AI, and why we've been working on improving the post-login screen over the last few days, switching to a softer cream (#FFF5E2) to make it feel a bit more upscale, rather than being too stark. Do you think it actually feels clean, or do you find it to be obvious that a couple of developers built it?

Here's a summary of what we've managed to create thus far:

* Unstructured PDF Parsing: The system can process complex PDFs, with all text mapped and categorized in a structured database.

* Skill Gap Analysis: Input a job description, and the engine scans your parsed resume and pinpoints the crucial missing skills needed for that position.

* Auto-categorization: it automatically recognizes and categorizes skills appropriately (like separating Languages from Frameworks).

* Dynamic Masonry layouts: This was the most complex feature we implemented-auto-adapting layouts that automatically flow content and eliminate any unsightly whitespace, ensuring that everything fits on one page perfectly.

Now for the tricky part, we need the eyes of users:

We're currently trying to put the parser to the test, and we need everyone who is willing to upload their resumes and try to make it fail!

Are there any PDF formats it totally fails to extract from?

Do the masonry templates appear strangely on your screen dimensions?

Is this a tool that you would actually find useful enough to (potentially) pay a small, coffee-cup sized amount for, once it's all ironed out?

We do have an ATS Score Checker and a "1-Click Tailor" button planned, but the core of the tool needs to be perfect before moving forward.

If you can spare a couple of minutes, we would greatly appreciate you taking it for a test drive and a good roasting-let me know in the comments and I will personally send you a link, so as not to spam everyone.

We truly value your time and brutally honest critique.

Roast my startup: PowderMate.

It’s basically for those “this will be fine” sidecountry moments where a group of friends ducks under a rope, spreads out after 3 turns, and suddenly nobody really knows where Dave went.

The app keeps track of the group and, if someone disappears, automatically creates a probable search area based on their last position, speed and direction .

I started thinking about it after realizing that most people doing quick off-piste runs don’t carry avalanche gear, radios, or really any plan beyond “we’ll meet at the lift.” Meanwhile everyone in actual backcountry communities is (rightfully) way more disciplined.

So now I’m trying to build something for the massive grey zone in between: not hardcore alpinists, just normal ski groups doing slightly dumb things slightly outside the piste.

Please destroy this idea before I waste more time on it: powdermate.app

Every friend group runs on the same broken system: someone says "there's no way that happens," someone else says "bet," and then... nobody remembers, nobody pays up, and the person who was right never gets the credit they deserve.

So I built BetterCall to fix the bookkeeping. It's a social prediction app where your group makes calls on future events, puts play-money coins behind them, and the app settles up automatically when the result is in. The beta is now live on web:

👉 https://bettercall.nive.sh

Want to play with me directly? Join my private group with this code:

🎟️ UVY-MF8-4W9

Important up front: this is not gambling. Every coin is free play-money — none of it costs real money or pays out real money. It's about bragging rights, leaderboards, and finally proving you were right.

Signing in is easy

Continue with email, or connect an Ethereum or Solana wallet — your call. And to be clear: no crypto balance is required. The wallet is just your login; you don't need to hold or spend anything.

How it works

1. Make or join a group. Pull in your friends, family, sports chat, or work crew with an invite code (like mine above). Everyone gets a welcome stack of coins to start.
2. Post a question. Anything with a yes/no or multiple-choice answer and a deadline. Takes about ten seconds.
3. Everyone picks a side and stakes coins. The app shows live confidence as votes roll in.
4. It settles itself. When the result's known, the question closes and winners split the pot, proportional to what they staked. No spreadsheets, no arguments about who said what.
5. Climb the leaderboard. Streaks, accuracy, biggest wins — the app quietly tracks who actually has the sharpest read in the group.

Some questions to get the chaos started

The best ones are about people in your group — that's where it gets personal (and very funny):

• "Will Dave reschedule on us again this weekend — after he's the one who picked the date?"
• "Will this trip we're '100% doing this year' make it past the planning stage?"
• "Will Sam order 'just a salad' and then eat half of everyone's fries?"
• "Will I actually keep my New Year's resolution past January?" (self-roast bets are the funniest)

Coins: Silver and Diamonds

• 🪙 Silver is your group's currency. It stays inside that group — your private league of friendly trash talk. You top up with a free daily claim, and showing up on a streak pays bonuses.
• 💎 Diamonds are the global currency, used out in the Global Markets (below). You earn them through activity — a recurring claim every few hours, weekly challenges, and one-off rewards for things like completing your profile or bringing a friend in.

Looking ahead: down the line, we want Diamonds to be redeemable for real online rewards. That's still on the roadmap, but it's where this is headed.

Global Markets

Beyond your private group, there's a public layer. Global Markets are open predictions anyone on BetterCall can join — spanning sports, tech, entertainment, weather, culture, politics, and finance. You stake Diamonds instead of Silver, the same logic applies (winners share the losing pool), and there's a global leaderboard to climb. It's the casual on-ramp to prediction markets without putting a cent on the line — and a way to see how your read stacks up against the whole crowd, not just your friends.

What's next

Right now it's web, so anyone can jump in and play today. The iOS app is coming soon, with Android close behind.

Want to build this with me?

BetterCall is still early, and I'd love to find a few people who want to help shape where it goes — not just play with it. If you light up at prediction markets, social/multiplayer products, or just the idea of turning something fun into something real, let's talk.

Right now I'd especially love to hear from:

• Mobile engineers (React Native / Expo) who want to help ship the iOS app
• Designers who can make the app feel as fun as the bets themselves
• Crypto-curious builders — we already support Ethereum and Solana sign-in, and there's a lot more we could do on that side
• Anyone who just loves this space and wants to swap ideas, test things, and tell me what's broken

To be straight with you: it's a labor of love at this stage, not a funded company with salaries — so I'm looking for people who want in because the idea is genuinely exciting, with room to grow into something bigger together. Drop a comment or DM me. I'd much rather build this with good people than alone.

Come play

This is a beta, so it's not perfect yet — which is exactly why I'm posting. Try it with your group, break it, and tell me what's confusing, what's missing, and what made you laugh.
