Built a complete review workflow for founders who need more than polite, vague feedback. Customers submit a marketing site or app, I use it cold and record every question, hesitation, and rough edge, then deliver the private review through a paid customer dashboard.

TryLaunchLoop

Building

Developer-marketing tool my friend and I built in public on Twitch for builders who would rather be shipping features than keeping a marketing calendar alive. Built from the real pain of turning commit logs, product progress, live-stream work, and launch context into useful distribution without losing focus on the product; this same builder-facing approach helped me grow X from roughly 170 to roughly 1,200 followers.
