I was tired of messy freelance admin, so I built a fix
As a freelancer, I’ve always hated doing my own accounting. It’s either too complex, too expensive, or just plain boring.
So, I decided to build my own solution: L'Atelier Financier.
It’s a collection of simple, free tools to help French freelancers with their tax and business math. No cookie banners, no over-the-top software—just the answers you need, fast.
I coded this whole thing myself over the last month to make my life (and hopefully yours) easier.
You can try it out here: https://latelierfinancier.fr/assistant-fiscal.html
I'm curious—what’s the one administrative task you hate doing the most? Let me know, maybe I'll build a tool for it next!
Hey, just wanted to say — your product looks really impressive. It feels useful, clean, and like something that can actually help people solve a real problem.
I’m building Everyday Tiny Tools — a marketplace for small useful web tools, mini apps, calculators, generators, AI tools, productivity helpers, and simple utilities.
The idea is to give independent creators a real place to showcase their tools, get discovered, and maybe even earn from them.
If you’ve built something small and useful, I’d love to invite you to list it here: EverydayTinyTools.com
Tools can be listed as free, or as a simple one-time purchase through the platform.
And if you have any questions, feel free to reach out anytime: nuchem@lightboltlab.com
Really like what you’re building — wishing you a lot of success with it.
The part I'd be hesitant to assume is that the most hated task is automatically the best thing to build next.
Sometimes the task people complain about most and the task they'd actually adopt a tool for end up being different.
I'd be curious whether those line up for you or not.
That’s a very good point! You're totally right: complaining about a task doesn't mean people are ready to use a new tool for it.
I'm trying to focus on quick, risk-free micro-decisions (like checking if an expense is tax-deductible) rather than changing their whole accounting routine. Thanks for the feedback!
Honestly, that's the part that would make me nervous.
I've seen founders find a real pain point, then build around the version of it that feels safest rather than the version people actually change behavior for.
Not saying that's what's happening here.
Just that I'd want confidence those two things are the same before getting too attached to the direction.
Hard to do that properly in a thread though.
If you're interested, drop your email and I'll send you the longer version.
