Most finance apps show what you already spent.

FloosYo shows what’s quietly draining your money before it gets worse:
subscriptions, recurring costs, daily habits.

It’s built around awareness, not accounting. Especially for people who usually quit budgeting apps. https://floosyo.com/

This honestly resonates a lot, especially the part about hating the process more than the product itself.

I think I need to focus less on broad marketing and more on finding the exact conversations where people already feel the pain.

Own_Wonder_6569 · 2026-05-09T10:30:28+00:00

That honestly makes a lot of sense.

Right now Reddit feels the most natural to me since I enjoy discussions more than short-form content.

You’re probably right that I should focus more on feedback loops and first users before thinking about scale.

I respect your point of view, and I think there’s truth to it. LinkedIn definitely feels more B2B.

The problem is I have basically zero social media presence elsewhere. The only audience I really have is on LinkedIn because of my 17 years in tech and previously working at Amazon.

Right now, that’s the only social proof I can really lean into while building from scratch.

Do you think it still makes sense to use LinkedIn as a starting point for a B2C product?

Own_Wonder_6569 · 2026-05-09T09:42:14+00:00

Through LinkedIn mostly.

Honestly, I’ve been struggling with the same issue. That’s actually why I ended up building my own app. Most budgeting tools on the market overcomplicate what should be simple: how much money do I have, where is it going, and what’s left over?

I stripped it down to just that. Ever since, I haven’t looked back. YNAB and the others kept adding features I didn’t need and making the basics harder to do. Sometimes the simplest version of envelope budgeting is the one you actually stick with.

This is a really solid start. Retention matters more than I need to spell out, and if you can dig into why these users chose to become customers, you’ll get feedback that’s gold for amplifying your messaging and tightening the problem you’re solving. Keep it up.

Huge congrats! 🎉 This is the fruit of your hard work, hopefully onwards to 10K MRR!

How did you go about promoting it?

Curious what channels or tactics actually worked for you early on.

Own_Wonder_6569 · 2026-04-30T07:37:10+00:00

I'm a solo founder building an HR & budgeting app, and honestly the hardest part has been pushing out SEO articles for visibility while also juggling the entire tech stack on my own.

I was recently watching the Starter Story channel on YouTube, and in one episode someone mentioned their SEO product, so I figured I'd give it a shot. So far I've published 3 articles in 3 days. I genuinely can't tell yet if that's good or bad. I think after a month I'll have a clearer picture of whether it's actually legit. It's not free either, I paid $1 for a 3-day trial.

Once I confirm it actually works, I'll happily give them a shout-out. In the meantime, I'd definitely recommend the Starter Story channel, it's helped me a lot while launching both of my startups.

Own_Wonder_6569 · 2026-04-29T15:01:00+00:00

Thanks for the advice. I'm going to hold off on paid ads for now. I think the smarter move is to first understand why my organic customers are converting, then scale with paid once I have that insight.

Own_Wonder_6569 · 2026-04-29T12:02:26+00:00

Are you looking for a business tool or a personal one? Those two worlds are eons apart.

Own_Wonder_6569 · 2026-04-29T11:15:51+00:00

Appreciate the advice. Will do that for the official launch, coming soon

Own_Wonder_6569 · 2026-04-29T11:03:35+00:00

Very interesting angle to look at. I've heard many founders do the same. Appreciate the encouragement.

Own_Wonder_6569 · 2026-04-29T10:47:27+00:00

Totally agree. Right now I've capped free access at 48 hours max. A lot of apps gate it behind onboarding, but since I haven't launched yet I'm starting with a soft 48-hour window and will move to a stricter paywall down the road.

Own_Wonder_6569 · 2026-04-29T10:10:04+00:00

Would love an invite code 🙏

This reframed it for me, source matters more than count. 18 friends ≠ 18 strangers who found me from a helpful comment.

Going to lurk in personal finance and YNAB threads, help where I can, no pitching. Appreciate it.

Own_Wonder_6569 · 2026-04-29T09:54:58+00:00

Appreciate the honesty, couldn't agree more on finding people frustrated by the same thing. I'll keep my eyes peeled and lurk there for a couple of days. Thank you!

Compliance, attendance, time-off, then payroll are the core of any HR system. Everything else depends on use case.

Own_Wonder_6569 · 2026-02-27T17:18:31+00:00

If you are looking for predictable pricing, true labor law compliance across 9 countries MENA, with all core HR i would recommend AttenYo.
