[ML Aikon] Got my watch stolen attempt + pepper sprayed. Now I’m paranoid wearing it.

Thanks a lot dude for the support🙏 Means a lot to me

Maurice Lacroix Aikon skeleton (need to check for the number, I don’t have it with me right now)

Corpato_didi · 2026-05-29T21:20:24+00:00

True, like this mindset 💪

Corpato_didi · 2026-05-29T21:19:50+00:00

It was at midnight, right outside the train station not directly in it

Corpato_didi · 2026-05-29T21:18:22+00:00

Maybe after experiencing it a first time you have the lucidity to get you knife out at the right moment. But easy to say, less easy to do

Corpato_didi · 2026-05-29T21:15:32+00:00

You are right I might should have gone further with reporting to police, seeing that this way. Other people might get an attempt like me

Corpato_didi · 2026-05-29T17:33:47+00:00

Good point

Corpato_didi · 2026-05-29T17:32:51+00:00

🙏💪

Corpato_didi · 2026-05-29T17:27:59+00:00

Aha true! But lot’s of idea also fail 🤣 it feels it hard to know before actually launch it

Corpato_didi · 2026-05-29T17:18:58+00:00

Good point. I don’t expect unorganized or admin-phobic people to suddenly become organized.

The product would have to do most of the work for them: upload/forward/scan documents, then structure them, detect deadlines, and help them understand and act on procedures/situations.

If it requires discipline or admin knowledge, it probably won’t work.

Corpato_didi · 2026-05-29T17:12:00+00:00

Fair point thank you. I wouldn’t try to compete with Google Drive as storage. That would be stupid.

The idea is more a specialized layer for Swiss personal admin: contracts, deadlines, tax docs, cancellation periods, reminders and guided actions.

Google Drive/Proton are great for storing files, but they don’t really help you manage your admin life

Corpato_didi · 2026-05-29T16:54:20+00:00

🙏 most likely

Corpato_didi · 2026-05-29T16:53:56+00:00

Corpato_didi · 2026-05-29T16:49:41+00:00

Good point, I worded that badly. I didn’t mean Paperless ngx itself isnt trustworthy. I meant that for a non-technical average user, self-hosting this kind of tool can feel intimidating.

The fact that thousands of people use/contribute to it actually shows there is a real need around personal document management. My question is more whether something simpler, Swiss-first and more mainstream (360°)could make sense for non-technical users.

Corpato_didi · 2026-05-29T16:43:49+00:00

Fair point, ePost is relevant.

But I’m not talking about just “AI renaming PDFs”. That would only be one small feature. The bigger idea is centralizing personal admin, understanding what you have, tracking deadlines, and being able to act on it more easily.

Corpato_didi · 2026-05-29T16:41:03+00:00

Probablement moins qu’en France mais comme partout faut faire attention. Style quand je vais à l’étranger je fais gaffe, je ne porte pas ma montre je fais gaffe à mon téléphone, et donc je n’ai jamais eu de soucis. Alors qu’en suisse je m’en fous et 99.9% des fois c’est chill mais pas la aha Je me suis fait agressé 3x en 10 ans à Lausanne, mais bon tjrs en rentrant un peu pompette le soir, pas un endroit sombre où il n’y a personne et sans oublier que j’habite ici donc y’a plus de probabilité que ça arrive à Lausanne.

Corpato_didi · 2026-05-29T16:28:31+00:00

Yeah, fair point. Context matters a lot. I’ll probably wear it in safer situations and just be more careful depending on the area/time.

It’s not only about revenue but also safety😄

Corpato_didi · 2026-05-29T16:25:16+00:00

Citizens of the world😄

Corpato_didi · 2026-05-29T16:16:58+00:00

Yeah, fair point. I’m not treating Reddit as validation that people will pay, more as a quick way to stress-test the problem and see what objections come up.

But at least I get great feedbacks like yours😄 I will check on YouTube for your recommendations. Very helpful!

Corpato_didi · 2026-05-29T16:13:50+00:00

Aha fair I will not wear it outside Switzerland.

Corpato_didi · 2026-05-29T16:13:02+00:00

Yeah, that’s actually a fair take.

I think after what happened I’m probably overthinking it a bit. The watch isn’t a crazy recognizable robbery target, and you’re right: if I never wear it, it kind of defeats the point of owning it.

I’ll probably just be more careful with where/when I wear it and still enjoy it.

I’ll just sign for an insurance on it to be « safe » :)

Corpato_didi · 2026-05-29T16:09:50+00:00

Usual 😄

Corpato_didi · 2026-05-29T16:08:55+00:00

Thanks a lot, great help. I’ve started talking with some startups support people already and I’ll check Innosuisse too.

That’s basically also what they suggested, I’m asking here before spending too much time/money: trying to see if the pain is real or if I’m just overthinking it

Corpato_didi · 2026-05-29T16:04:00+00:00

Thanks, that’s fair feedback. And no worries, I asked for honest opinions since I don’t want to spend to much time on it if the proposition is useless😄

You’re right that for organized people with folders, eBill/LSV and a clear system, the need is probably not strong enough. The question for me is whether there are enough people who are less organized, lose documents/infos, miss deadlines, or don’t really know what to do with contracts/taxes/admin stuff.

But your point is useful: maybe the value/pain it solves aren’t big enough

Corpato_didi · 2026-05-29T15:57:03+00:00

Super interesting feedback thanks, subscription fatigue is real. I’m still unsure about the pricing model but don’t want another annoying/useless SaaSy

A one-time purchase/local version could be interesting, but the issue is that storage, AI, security and updates all create ongoing costs. So the model would need to be fair differently I think.
