ideas
Here I put some SaaS ideas I have been keeping, and probably have started working on.
Promise Tracker for Family
A tool to help parents and children keep track of promises made to each other, fostering mutual trust and accountability within the family.
Core Value
Nurture mutual trust between family members by creating transparency around commitments
Key Features
- Bidirectional promise tracking (parents ↔ kids)
- Reminder system for both parties
- History of kept/broken promises
- Positive reinforcement system
- Automatically manage rewards/consequences with agreed duration (e.g. extra screen time for 2 days)
Design Principles
- Frame rewards/consequences as "growth opportunities" rather than punishments
- Use encouraging language throughout
- Celebrate promise-keeping as trust-building
- Focus on learning from missed promises rather than shame
Subscription Tracker
A shared subscription management tool that embraces real-life imperfections and makes it accessible for couples.
Core Value
Help family or couples maintain subscription awareness together without the stress of perfect record-keeping
Key Features
- Manual entry as primary input method
- Easy backfilling for missed entries
- Shared visibility for both partners
- Future: API integrations with common services
Design Principles
- Forgiving UX that doesn't punish missed entries
- Quick recovery from gaps in tracking
- Low friction for catching up
- Aligned with productivity principle: embrace failures, make recovery easy
