I built a SaaS for Dutch freelancers from the Canary Islands
I'm Cuban, living in Canarias, Spain. My Dutch partner introduced me to the ZZP market — Dutch independent freelancers who struggle with admin overhead every day. I started building Taakly with AI-assisted development. No external funding, just two people and a clear problem. We launched on March 2, 2026. The core insight: most tools are accounting software that added time tracking. We built a work management tool that added invoicing. What makes it different: - Retainer management with visual consumption tracking - Client health scoring - Unbilled hours alerts - Chrome extension - iDEAL & SEPA for European payments Still early but growing. Happy to answer questions.

This is really cool! I love that you flipped the usual approach, building a work management tool that adds invoicing instead of the other way around. The retainer tracking and client health scoring features sound especially useful for freelancers juggling multiple clients.
Curious: how are you getting your first users and validating which features are most valuable? Are Dutch freelancers responding well to the AI-assisted parts?
