Ever come to the end of your day and wondered, what did I…

I have had many a day when the day was about over, and I had no idea where all my time went. I didn't feel like I did much, but I spent a whole day doing something, but I don't remember what. So I decided to build a mobile app to help me track my time so I can see where exactly my time is going and how much. If our time is truly the most valuable resource we own, why don't we keep track of it better? We track our money. We track our calories and weight. Why not our time? Would love to hear your thoughts! Hopefully I will have it on public TestFlight to try out. All the data is stored on your phone.

SEO & AEO IS HARD

It's even harder to be motivated to write the content yourself EVERYDAY. So i'm building a SaaS that will do this on autopilot: - write daily blog posts on your site - gets you recommended by AI replies - gets you ranked on Google and answered by Gemini - send you backlinks automatically to raise your DR - gets your brand authority within weeks. - Fixes your website SEO to go from 0 to 90+ scores Results: get mentioned & recommended by AI and ranked on Google, without lifting a finger ✨ And all this in weeks, not months like others promise. Sound cool? join waitlist here: http://honeywerank.com 🍯

Inventory and accounting now talk to each other

Most of this week's EloSync work went into the stock side of the business. - Serial and lot tracking for inventory, carried through purchase-order receiving and warehouse transfers - Moving-average costing, so stock cost and value stay current as you buy - Purchase receipts and inventory create their accounting journal entries automatically - Pay a vendor directly against what's owed on a purchase order - Straight-line depreciation for assets Same idea as the rest of EloSync: when stock comes in, the books shouldn't need a second pass by hand. Two smaller ones: new payments no longer list invoices that are already fully paid, and workflow automations can now branch with if/else.

Feedback by Yehya Allawand

I posted on X and reddit regarding my app basically getting…

Comments were brutal but a reality check, and solidified the issue, the landing page was just unclear, visitors didn't know what Sidebox does and who it was for Only users within the buildinpublic community made sense of the terms used, which meant I needed to simplify it further so anyone could quickly understand what it does and who its for With that feedback I redesigned the page completely and simplified it, I also added a new sign up flow and made it easier to encourage user to try the product out - removed card requirements for free trial - added a website input to quick start the onboarding So Im looking for a few users willing to test out the new flow and give their opinions on the landing page and how the whole process felt for them and if anything can be improved, cheers!
