I made a tool for tech managers to document performance of their teams

Based on the feedback from my closed beta customers and a lot of answers on this thread http://www.quora.com/Management/What-are-common-mistakes-that-new-or-inexperienced-managers-make/answer/Ian-McAllister, I decided to pivot my product to make a nimble performance documentation tool for managers to document the good/bad feedback to their reportees at one place. I am currently doing this by generating an email address that managers can 'cc' while emailing any feedback to their team members. All the feedback that is collected is visualized as a timeline…

    I made a tool to help collect and validate startup ideas2024 · keepmyidea.app · ▲38

    Hey HN, I’m Kyrylo. I recently created a small tool that lets you gather, refine, and validate SaaS/startup ideas using AI. I used to jot down my product ideas in a note apps, but it wasn’t very practical for collecting feedback or refining them. So, I built this tool to make the process easier. Here’s how it works: 1. Enter a brief description of your idea. 2. The app uses AI to generate project details. 3. Share your idea via a link that includes a feedback form. It’s pretty straightforward, and I’d love to hear your thoughts or any suggestions!

    I accidentally built a startup idea validation tool2025 · validationly.com · ▲15

    I was working on validating some of my own project ideas. While trying to find how to validate my idea, I realized the process itself could be turned into a tool. A few late nights later, I had something that takes any startup idea, fetches discussions, summarizes sentiment, and gives a quick “validation score.” It’s very rough, but it works, and it’s already making me rethink a few of my own ideas. It's still a work in progress. I don't actually know what I'm doing, but I know it's worth it. Honest feedback welcomed! Live demo here: https://validationly.com/

    I Built an Internal Insight Collection Tool for Teams2024 · getfeedloop.com · ▲7

    Hey HN, Managing external feedback boards can be a hassle. Moderating spam and responding to endless comment threads takes time away from building new features or focusing on marketing. I built Feedloop to solve this problem. It’s a tool designed to help you collect and track user/customer feedback internally within your team. No more wasting time on external platforms – streamline your feedback process and keep everything in-house. Check it out: https://www.getfeedloop.com I’d love to hear your thoughts! Victor
