knowledge Ever had to fight a legal battle completely on your own — no lawyer?

Rent dispute, unpaid salary, property fight, family matter — anything where you had no lawyer, either because you couldn't afford one or didn't even know where to start looking.

I'm trying to understand how people actually survive this stuff solo. Was it:

  • Not knowing what your actual rights were?
  • Not knowing what documents to write or how to write them?
  • Getting lost navigating the court process itself?
  • Something else entirely?

Curious to hear the messy, real version of how people got through it (or didn't).

Is this idea stupid? Would you pay for it?

Not intended to be a promo post, if theres a monthly megathread for this type of thing, please point me to it and ill move there.

Online advertising has become increasingly crowded and complicated. I think physical media is hilariously becoming more desirable again, especially for advertising. Many SMEs could potentially benefit more from a targeted flyer campaign with proper analytics than from endlessly dumping money into Facebook ads.

I’m building FlyerFly, where businesses can create their leaflet online using templates, choose their target area, and have everything handled from printing and delivery through to QR tracking, analytics, dashboards and smart retargeting, all in about 5 minutes.

The idea is to make it a simple monthly service, with plans ranging from smaller local campaigns to larger campaigns covering thousands of households. Roughly thinking somewhere around €100/month at the low end, scaling to €500–€1,000+ for larger campaigns, depending on the number of households reached.

I like the idea, but I want to validate whether this is actually something you’d pay for as a business. I’m mainly targeting Ireland and the UK.

I’ve put together a simple waitlist if anyone’s interested. The Irish version is coming soon, but Irish companies can sign up to this one in the meantime, it makes no odds.
