Ask HN: Help us validate our idea of an administrative app for small businesses

by Kuyawa on 5/8/2025, 8:49:03 PM with 1 comments
We’re developing an administrative app designed to simplify tasks like invoicing, purchases, inventory, and expense tracking for small businesses. Our goal is to save time and reduce stress for busy entrepreneurs while providing a very affordable subscription model. We know it's boring and not AI related but somebody has to do it and that's us, think of it as a QuickBooks or FreshBooks competitor in a very tough market.

We’d love your input to ensure the app meets real needs, if you can spare 2 minutes to answer 3 quick questions

1. What’s your biggest pain point when managing administrative tasks (e.g., invoicing, inventory, finances, paperwork)?

2. What tools do you currently use, and what do you wish they did better?

3. Would a streamlined, all-in-one app for these tasks be valuable to you? Why or why not?

We’d really appreciate your honest thoughts as a small business owner or possible investor

Thank you for helping us build something truly useful

    To start the conversation, my wife is the first user and she loves it. She's using it to keep track of inventory and to send quotes and invoices. She hasn't used purchases, accounts payables and receivables yet as everything she sells is in cash. That's exactly why we need more early users to know if this stage is good enough for an MVP instead of spending months in further development without real usage. We think users should always dictate the roadmap and not IT committees.
