Just launched TRIM. A community platform, without comments.

Founder here. Spent the last 5 months building TRIM solo. Going through it firsthand made it clear how brutal the problem I'm solving really is for solo founders.

Solo founders feel the worst decision fatigue.
→ Founders face countless decisions every day
→ No team to validate with, no one to share the prep load
→ Either spend too much time or risk the wrong call.

Any existing solutions?

Communities : High cost, no guarantee of a clear signal.

  • Long cluttered threads
  • No replies at all, or barely any
  • Slow trickle of replies
  • Wade through mixed opinions and unrelated tangents
  • Abstract advice
  • Anonymous negative judgment and argumentative noise

LLMs

  • Don't draw on real human experience-based judgment
  • Built more for execution than for deciding

Productivity tools

  • Track tasks, not decisions
  • Decisions stay scattered across 30 places
  • Most just pile more onto your plate when what you wanted was relief

So I started thinking

  • Big-company CEOs walk into decisions already ready to make them. Their teams handle the prep work. Can't solo founders get something similar?
  • Other founders would've already worked through the decisions I'm facing. Why do I always start from scratch and risk the wrong call?
  • What if I could look up almost any decision in a wiki, with thousands of people's choices already in it?
  • What if every decision I made came with a thousand other people weighing in?
  • There are to-do lists. Why no to-decide list?

So I built two things.

1. A community platform, but only through votes. No comments.

You post your decision with the options you're torn between, founders vote on them, and you get a fast but validated verdict instead of wading through long threads or redoing all the prep someone else already did. Everyone's experience and knowledge distills into a single actionable decision.

What if you don't even know what to choose from?

Use the "no clear options" mode. The community suggests their pick and they narrow into a top 3 shortlist. You skip the research and pick from a finite, crowd-vetted list.

What if vote count alone isn't enough to act on confidently?

You can set voter attributes (experience, stage, role, etc.). We then visualize the vote broken down by those attributes plus 5 standard demographics, so you can see how the verdict shifts across segments and weight signal from the founders whose perspective matters most to you.

The bet is that for most decisions, you don't need 30 paragraphs of opinion. You need the choice, surfaced fast, with enough signal to trust it.

2. A to-decide list.

A place to manage and track all daily decisions, light or heavy, work or personal. Every call becomes structured and time-bounded, so they actually close instead of piling up.

Launched now at trimdecisions.com. No signup or card needed for basic use. First 1,000 signups also get advanced features free for a year.

Would love to hear what other founders here think. Any feedback welcome.
