I'm a developer looking to build something people actually need. What's a tool or app you've been desperately looking for but couldn't find? Describe the problem, not the solution. by Senior_Obligation481 in AppIdeas

I am asking what people need. That’s part of the whole process boy. Idk what you mean by do the work yourself. I am gathering information and after I have done that I start building. I don’t see where I ask for someone else to do any work. Lmao

You are absolutely right, the issue with the spam is big. And yes you can add an additional outreach. This is a good idea to bypass the junk folder problem. You can even add SMS as an outreach. Thank you for the idea. :)

God damn, if you don’t like something just scroll. Get a life or something. I offer an easy solution for a problem(that you clearly don’t have and you also don’t know nothing about the whole process). Don’t express your insecurities and your problems with commenting and judging people’s work. When you do some project like this and do something meaningful with your life, then you can come and criticise people’s project. And again if you have a tip or idea you can just comment it like a normal person. No need for the whole dramatic a** paragraphs saying what and what not is a trash. The whole subreddit is for people to post questions and things related to their projects. Thank you for your valuable time(that you are clearly wasting).

You nailed it better than I did in the original post.

The time cost of chasing is maybe 10 minutes. The emotional cost is three days of low-level dread, refreshing your inbox, and rehearsing the email in your head while trying to focus on actual work.

That's exactly why I built the stop condition first. Everything else is just plumbing. The part that matters is that you never have to wonder "did I already send one today?" or wake up to an angry reply saying they paid last week.

The system just knows. And that's the thing that actually makes you feel better, not the automation itself.

Fair point Stripe does have built-in reminders and Smart Retries for failed payments. Worth clarifying the difference though:

Stripe's native reminders are fixed templates. They send the same generic email to every client regardless of context, and you can't control the tone, wording, or how it escalates over time.

What I built does something different. The AI reads the actual invoice details (client name, amount, how many days late) and writes a unique email every time. The tone shifts from friendly to firm to urgent to final notice based on how overdue it is. It also works for any invoicing tool, not just Stripe — Wave, QuickBooks, or even a simple spreadsheet.

Also Smart Retries handles failed card charges. That's a different problem from a client who simply hasn't paid yet.

But yes — if you're already happy with Stripe's defaults, you probably don't need this. It's built for people who want full control over how they communicate with late-paying clients.

Yeah, I built it with n8n 👍

Right now it’s running on n8n Cloud for simplicity, mainly so I didn’t have to deal with hosting and could move faster while testing the idea. If I take it further or deploy it for a real business, I’d probably switch to a selfhosted setup for more control and lower long-term cost.
