A tiny internal tool saved me 1 hour every day. So we turned it into a product.
I was rewriting the same things daily.
Client replies.
Follow-ups.
Project updates.
Proposals.
It didn’t feel like work.
But it quietly took about an hour of my day.
So I built a small internal tool.
Nothing fancy.
- saved common replies
- used shortcuts to paste them
- kept a copy history so text never got lost
That alone gave me an hour back every day.
At first, it was just for me.
Then my team started using it.
Then freelancers we worked with asked for it.
They all said the same thing:
“I type the same things every day.”
That’s when it clicked.
This wasn’t a feature.
It was a daily pain.
So we cleaned it up.
Removed everything extra.
And turned it into a simple product.
We now call it "Slashit App"
Here is the website: https://www.slashit.app/
No dashboards.
No noise.
Just faster writing and less typing.
The takeaway for me:
If a small tool saves you time every day,
it probably saves time for others too.
That’s usually where good products start.
HIRE A FASTEST CYBER RECOVERY EXPERT TO RECOVER YOUR LOST OR STOLEN BITCOIN/ETH/USDT/ THE HACKANGELS
I simply want to share my story about THE HACKANGELS RECOVERY EXPERT. To all of you out there. One has to be careful. A lot of scammers are out there taking money from innocent traders. I was a victim of these crypto scammers. They made me lose my hard earned funds. The best thing that happened to me this year was seeing an article about THE HACKANGELS RECOVERY EXPERT. A professional hacker and private investigator. I invested $954,300 in a cryptocurrency platform and it turned out to be a scam and I had no idea how to get my money back until I reached out to a recovery company called THE HACKANGELS RECOVERY EXPERT. I explained my situation to them. I was shocked to hear that they had recovered all of my stolen cryptocurrency in just 48 hours. I said that I will not hold this to myself but share it to the public so that all scammed victims can get their funds back. To anyone who may find themselves in a similar unfortunate situation. I highly recommend THE HACKANGELS RECOVERY EXPERT. Quickly reach out to them on their hotline:

If you're in London, you can even visit them in person at their office located at 45-46 Red Lion Street, London WC1R 4PF, UK. They’re super helpful and really know their stuff! Don’t hesitate to reach out if you need help.
This is my favorite kind of product story.
You didn’t brainstorm an idea. You noticed a leak in your day and patched it.
The “hour a day” part is key. People underestimate how powerful daily pain is compared to big occasional problems.
Also respect the restraint. No dashboard inflation, no features for the sake of sounding impressive. Tools like this win because they disappear into the workflow.
Classic example of scratching your own itch the right way.
exactly 🙌
Success is often built up from small things.
yup 🙌
Thanks for this! I love how small internal tools can turn into real products when they solve an everyday pain point.
I’ve noticed the same when building my own SaaS — the biggest value often comes from streamlining recurring tasks rather than adding flashy features.
What was the hardest part in deciding which features to keep vs remove once you turned it into a product?
Discussed with our internal users first 🙌
how did you get those first 10 internal users, it would be very intresting to know
Inspiring, How a personal problem solution became a true product for the market.
Great reminder that if something improve daily work, it’s probably valuable to many others too 👏
Exactly man.
