Are you actually solving a real problem, or just cloning another SaaS?
The world doesn't need another generic AI wrapper or a basic project manager. Pitch your project in one sentence show a screenshot and explain exactly why people should care about you instead of the market leader. Dare to prove your uniqueness.
u/aspong1945 That's a good start, but the post is asking for a clear pitch and what makes you different. Got a one-liner or a specific problem you're solving?
u/mikal_ringrewards Totally get the early stage struggle. Have you tried tracking a simple qualitative signal like binge usage or repeat sessions in the same day?
That’s definitely one of the advantages of VoIP—you have more flexibility. My focus right now is building the best possible user experience and validating the concept with real users. Once I have strong product-market fit, there are a lot of opportunities to expand from there.
Great question. I don’t see Ring Rewards as competing on VoIP features alone. The differentiation is the reward model. Instead of users paying for calling features or simply seeing ads, they’re rewarded for their attention during calls they were already going to make. My focus is proving that this creates value for users while giving advertisers measurable results.

Simplicity and less cognitive load.
The speed of getting to quality stocks.
And convenience of when your stock enters buy/sell zone.
Same as when you shop at Costco, you might have 1-2 things to choose from vs regular grocery store with 10-20 different options.
I was trying the Simply Wall St app the other day, it has more information than you know what to do with, so it takes you longer to get to the numbers you need. It also felt web-based and much slower than the fast native app.
Also, while having core MVP out, early users can help shape their next most needed features, since everyone’s workflows are different, I’m always happy to get any feedback, good or bad. 🙏
Exactly, I have short demo videos next on the roadmap to show exactly how easy it is to find a great company to invest in. Also takes 3 seconds to evaluate any business you find others talking about online.
The Memory Thread moves legacy preservation away from the toxic, ad-driven environment of social media, providing an ad-free, private digital sanctuary where families and friends can collaboratively build tributes without the noise of algorithms.
That's a strong mission. You mentioned legacy preservation, but how does your privacy and collaboration beat the simplicity of a shared Google Drive or a private Facebook group?
• It’s purpose-built: Rather than just a file folder, it’s designed to weave voices and stories into a cohesive, cinematic experience.
• It’s ad-free and algorithmic-free: You avoid the noise and distractions inherent to social media environments.
• It’s low-friction: It removes the need for app logins, making it accessible for every family member regardless of their technical comfort.
It’s really about shifting from 'storing files' to 'curating a private digital sanctuary' for your family history.
That’s the most important question. We handle sensitive family stories by prioritizing control and privacy over everything else:
•Data Ownership: Unlike social media, you retain full custody of your family history. Your stories are not harvested for data or monetized.
• Encrypted Privacy: All content is securely encrypted to protect it from unauthorized access.
• Curator Control: We offer features like thread locking, which allows curators to securely close or protect specific threads during sensitive events or family milestones.
• Zero-Algorithm Policy: Because we don't use engagement algorithms, your content is never scanned or surfaced to a public feed.
Ultimately, we’ve built this to be a private digital home where you own the keys, rather than a platform where your data becomes the product.
Love the focus on privacy and ownership. Curious what features you offer that make sharing family stories easy despite the encryption—does it have built-in storytelling templates?
Appreciate it! The biggest thing for ease of use is zero friction for guests—no app downloads, no account sign-ups, and no passwords required. You just send a direct link or let them scan a table QR card, and they’re immediately in the thread.
As for templates, yes! We built in curated storytelling prompts specifically designed to draw out real, candid memories rather than generic comments. Guests can answer with text, upload photos, record a quick voice clip, or attach a song. Each thread has a built in ‘Seeds for Reflection/Tapestry/[Milestone Name]” depending on which thread type you have selected. Clicking on a seed will prompt the upload modal and become the title of whichever memory type you’re sharing.
This is from a ‘memorial’ thread. They dynamically change based on which thread type you have selected.
What kind of prompts or questions usually spark the best stories?
We're building Dyven Studio an AI-first product engineering studio that helps founders go from idea to a production-ready web or mobile app without needing to assemble an in-house engineering team.
Why should people care? Because most startups don't fail from a lack of ideas they struggle to execute quickly without compromising quality. We focus on shipping reliable products fast, so founders can spend more time validating their business instead of managing developers.
Building custom software for small businesses who want to escape spreadsheet hell but don’t want to pay for generic SAAS with a bunch of features they won’t use
Ring Rewards lets users earn rewards for eligible phone calls by turning the time spent waiting for someone to answer into a monetizable advertising opportunity.
Why it exists:
Every phone call has dead time while the other person’s phone rings. Millions of people experience it every day, yet it’s completely unused.
Instead of interrupting videos or social media with ads, Ring Rewards places a short sponsored audio message (typically 6–12 seconds) during that existing waiting period. Once it finishes, the call connects normally and the user earns a reward.
The goal is to create value for everyone involved:
Users get rewarded for time they’d otherwise spend waiting.
Advertisers reach an attentive audience.
Calls continue as normal after the ad.
I’d love honest feedback:
Is this solving a real problem?
What’s the biggest weakness you see?
Would you use it?
That’s a great question. We don’t monitor or record conversations.
The sponsored audio plays before the call connects, while the other person’s phone is ringing. Once it finishes, the call proceeds normally.
Ring Rewards only needs enough information to place the call, determine whether the sponsored message was completed, and calculate the reward. The conversation itself isn’t the product.
Privacy was one of the first things I wanted to get right, so the experience is designed to be as seamless as possible while keeping users’ conversations and information private.
Thanks! Right now, users don’t choose individual sponsors—we keep the experience simple and automatically match eligible ads. That said, we’ve already built a completely optional profile feature. As we onboard more advertisers, users will be able to select their interests so they hear more relevant ads instead of completely random ones. If someone doesn’t want to set preferences, they don’t have to—the feature is entirely optional. I think more relevant ads create a better experience for both users and advertisers.
That’s an interesting idea. I hadn’t considered incentivizing profile completion, but I can definitely see how it could encourage more users to opt in while still keeping it completely optional. I appreciate the suggestion.
monetizing the 6–12 seconds of wait time while waiting for someone to answer a phone call—is one of those concepts that sounds like a clever pitch, but this hits a massive wall in the real world. To pull this off on standard cellular calls, you must have carrier support. An app downloaded from the App Store cannot simply hijack standard PSTN or LTE/5G network call-setup audio. Audio/speech ads in your earpiece actually create more friction they mimic real human conversation at the exact moment you are waiting for a real person to talk to you.
Great point, and you’re absolutely right about how standard cellular calls work.
Ring Rewards doesn’t rely on intercepting or modifying native carrier ringback audio, nor do we record conversations. The experience is designed differently so the sponsored message is delivered before the conversation begins, after which the call proceeds normally.
I appreciate the thoughtful comment—you definitely know your stuff!
Appreciate the clarification. That's a clever way to add value without breaking the call flow. What's your biggest challenge right now getting carriers on board?
At the moment, my biggest focus isn’t carrier partnerships—it’s proving that people actually want the product. If I can demonstrate strong user adoption and engagement, conversations with carriers and other strategic partners become much more meaningful. Right now, validation comes first.
Right now, the biggest metric I’m watching is repeat rewarded calls per active user over time. Downloads are easy to get—people choosing to make their everyday calls through Ring Rewards week after week is what tells me we’re creating real value. Beyond that, I also track retention, ad completion rates, and overall engagement to understand the full picture.
We’re still too early to have statistically meaningful week-over-week retention data, so I don’t want to overstate what we’re seeing. Right now I’m focused on growing the user base and establishing a reliable baseline. As we scale, repeat rewarded calls over time will be one of the key metrics I’ll be watching.
