Hey everyone 👋 — I’m Tony.
I built TextSlaps because I kept running into the same problem over and over:
I’d spend 20+ minutes rewriting a message like:
“Hey, just checking in…”
“Sorry to bug you…”
“Whenever you get a chance…”
…only to still get ignored.
This happened with:
Clients who hadn’t paid
Awkward coworker situations
Boundary-setting with people I didn’t want to offend
Ending bad business relationships
I realized the problem wasn’t what I was saying — it was how soft I sounded.
So I built a small tool that lets you describe your situation, choose a tone, and get a clear, professional message you can actually send.
Examples:
Asking for overdue payment
Firing a client
Dealing with a rude coworker
Setting boundaries
The first message is free, and everything is private.
This is still early, and I’m actively improving it.
Would love any feedback:
Is this something you’d use?
What situations should I add next?
Anything confusing or missing?
Happy to answer questions.
Thanks
Congrats on the launch 👏
quick question — did you already set any hard limits on LLM/API spend?
I’ve seen a few indie AI apps get hit by agent loops early on.
Thanks! Yeah, that was one of my early concerns.
I’ve put in a few layers already:
– Credit-based limits per user
– Hard caps on demo usage (IP + cookie)
– Server-side rate limiting
– Daily/monthly API spend ceilings
– Manual alerts if usage spikes
So worst case, it fails closed instead of burning cash.
Still iterating on it, but trying to be paranoid early
Thanks for checking out TextSlaps! 🙌
I’m actively improving this — just added better templates based on early feedback and improved SEO structure to help people find the right message faster.
Would love to know:
👉 What situations are you run into where you struggle to write the message?
👉 What tones or contexts should we add next?
Happy to iterate in real-time.
