We are almost moving into the post COVID phase now and businesses are altering and adapting to it!
Please share your thoughts on how your product can help people in the #PostCovid world?
Moving your offline business to online is extremely important in the post pandemic world.
spreadsimple.com helps to create a simple online store based on Google Sheets. Compared to existing solutions, SpreadSimple saves time when you’re creating and managing content.
@nobilix I checked out the landing page and the product pitch video!
I totally loved the UI/UX of the web app and how easy it makes for people to launch their marketplace with just a few clicks!
So I am building this platform PostCovidPlans.com (yet to be launched) where I am featuring and listing businesses/products that are either reopening or starting up post-COVID. I am imagining PostCovidPlans.com to be a discovery platform where people get to know about businesses that are slowly opening up after months of shutdown.
I am sure the visitors of PostCovidPlans.com will find spreadsimple.com very helpful.
If this sounds interesting, let's get connected over twitter DM (https://twitter.com/techguybiswa) or via email bis.banerjee.bb@gmail.com
This is awesome, and there are plenty of use cases across many industries that could benefit fromsomething like this.
This is really interesting, do you have paid users?
thanks. yes, we do
that is brilliant
We are creating an application that allows tailors and makers to get customer measurements remotely. Often these makers can't reach their customers outside of 25 miles anyway and even less so during covid. TAILORU.com
Hey @therealthudo
TAILORU definitely looks promising!
But I am wondering what kind of system requirements are needed for the app to run accurately?
Or in which mobile devices it works most accurately?
Or are y6ou making it only compatible with iPhones?
Good questions @techguybiswa!
For us, a majority of our end-users are on iPhone who will use this type of application to measure themselves then send them to tailors / makers. ARkit is also very advanced in giving users control over what they want to measure. We're also using CV image processing to improve upon the accuracy.
I think once we have one system down, we can look at GoogleAR. :D One bite at a time!!
MailThis.co allows you to send snail mail from your computer. No need to go to the store to buy postage, envelopes, paper, ink, printer, etc.
@NickFreiling -- I wish I came across this site earlier! I really had to send a mail to someone and I wanted it to feel very special!
And hey, so your site FAQ says that the service is available to only US destinations!
Will you scale it later to all over the world or will it increase your costs?
Or do you know of any alternative to MailThis.co for Asia?
Just saw this message. I'd love to scale, but would need a partner in Asia to help me understand the nuances of how post mail works on a country-by-country basis. But there is no reason why this product shouldn't exist in every country around the world.
My product is a local ferry booking site .. which has been shut for a while.
I'm slowly opening it up for business as things are getting better and people have started inquiring.
Obviously things have changed drastically since last year and I have started adding content to make people feel comfortable about travelling and safety..
long road ahead to recovery
Yeah great.
So I am making this platform postCovidPlans.com which is a platform that aggregates all the businesses that are slowly opening up!
Would you like to put out a word about your business at postCovidPlans.com?
The website is not available: postCovidPlans.com
Interesting...
Is this live? or still in idea stage?
Hey @technopreneur!
So it's in the prototype phase.
At this phase, we are looking for businesses that we can feature.
We already have a partnership with a few hotels, shops, and businesses that are opening up!
Once we have 100+ listings we will deploy the site!
So do you have any product/business where we can partner ?
Thanks for the offer. My concern regarding the name of your project is that it will look obsolete as soon as we are in the post Covid-19 era... Which is not that far. Now is the time you would want to have a website about Post Covid-19 plans.
Lift Academy includes a safe online social platform for kids, as so many are schooling from home! Made the first friend connect today!
Uclusion is trying to make software development collaboration actually work when you have remote or WFH workers. Hopefully that cuts down the number of people who need to be packed into offices.
Well, I built a virtual pub. Much safer than an actual pub! https://midnight.pub
When COVID-19 really started in the US back in March I was launching a home services marketplace for "active adult" homeowners in a retirement community so they could find qualified and trustworthy service providers to offload all of their home maintenance projects to. At that time I decided I did not want to be in the business of sending service providers into older adults' homes. So...
I just launched HomeStow, a website that is more focused on new homeowners to help them understand home maintenance, what they should be doing, and how they can do it themselves to save money! So I'm focused on an entirely different market but a similar category.
Trying to find how COVID-19 is changing us and what industries are perhaps emerging by looking at hashtags.

This is super interesting!
Always great to hear! Just curious how would you use this information?
I am building a web app that allows constructions project managers to manage their contract's progress and payments requests. Pre-Covid this was often solved through site visits, excel, and emails with accounting. Visiting and managing sites is more complicated now, and many accounting departments are still working from home. https://contractflow.app streamlines the entire process.
Like the fable about the ants and the grasshopper, post covid world will want more control over their finances, less debt and more balance on their emergency fund.
https://pleke.com is a free personal finance app for iOS and Android for people living paycheck to paycheck and worried about overdraft fees, loans, account balance and making decision about purchasing using credit card and postponing the payment to the next month.
This sounds very useful
Thanks! Scratching my own itch, I'm the first daily user of Pleke! Highly recommend building a product that one will use for oneself on a daily basis!
Agreed! I'm doing the same. It seems Pleke might tie in nicely with an online community about managing personal finances.
I developed a mobile game Fibonacci and feedback has been generally positive.
It's not revolutionary. But I noticed a lot of my friends and kids were playing pointless, addictive mobile games. You can listen to a music or a podcast while you play this game and improve your number skills at the same time.
I wrote a very concise article while testing out the preorder features of the app stores.
Love the name, Fibonacci
Thanks. It named itself!
I'll push back and say, not all business (or individuals) are altering and adapting. And some are responding better than others.
Most Learned helps individuals reflect on their daily activities and repeatedly exposes them to their lessons learned in the future...all in less than 5 minutes a day.
(admit it, you don't document lessons learned in your personal or professional life. and if you do take notes, how often do you actually go back and look at them?)
In especially turbulent environments (like COVID) Most Learned helps people "pivot" faster in their daily lives so they identify suboptimal behaviors to correct them, and continuously look for areas to exploit for improvement.
In mundane times, it helps people better understand first-principle thinking so they can see the constants in otherwise turbulent times. This allows them to adapt and respond more quickly and intelligently to changing environments.
QuantQon helps with construction labor productivity and considering that Covid adds restraints on how many people we can work in an area, so labor productivity is as important as ever.
I'm tapping into the during-COVID world and hopefully speed up the development of virtual connectivity and experience.
Virtual Mojito built to help people discover the right tools and trends around virtual events and work.
Project management + end-to-end encryption with Portabella, that is all. No reason why in 2020 we can't have end-to-end encryption in most of our applications, if we take a look at what's happening around the world it has never been more important to ensure secure communication.
I think it makes sense to tackle small problems as an indy hacker, and this is mine.
My product boostlane.com is a social platform for e-commerce.
It's a network of services that help people learn about brands, products and services and help sellers manage multichannel e-commerce. E-Commerce will be important in the post pandemic world as more people work from home and many unemployed people start online businesses.
In e-commerce 3.0, automated services and AI will help people with managing the complexity of multichannel sales operations, with information discovery, organizing information , customizing shopping experiences and connecting people with similar interests.
In e-commerce 3.0, buyers and sellers will be able to find each other and make transactions with the support of smart helpers that take care of repetitive and boring tasks and help buyers get more information than before without looking for it...
Among the services that I develop are an automated inventory manager and a text analysis service to help classify Web content. This is a page produced by the latter https://boostlane.com/h/startups.
The next piece of the puzzle will be a recommendation service that interacts with the user like a human, customizes the content and connects supply with demand.
These integrated services work together to create an ecosystem for online shopping but they can also work independently for an external agent. For instance, one of my clients has asked me to use the text analysis service (called Harvesteer) to validate the names of US towns in product descriptions and correct mistakes. He has agreed to pay the software for this new task of course.
Hey!
So it's in prototype phase.
At this phase we are looking for businesses that we can feature.
We already have partnership with a few hotels, shops and business that are opening up!
