LocJedi
Free localization planning tool
For a non-technical professional, building a product is a strange feeling. You know the experience, the feeling, the emotional result you're going for, but you're missing a lot of LEGO bricks to get there.
Thinking about LocJedi started from a different project. I wanted to see how hard I can go with Claude to redo my company's website. I am a localization agency founder, and the website content was severely outdated. So I started using Claude not to write AI-generated content, but to recall examples, case studies, and experiences I accumulated over a decade.
What I ended up with was a rather sizable knowledge map of how I think, solve problems, and consult on localization strategies. This is when I realized that I pretty much have everything to digitalize my brain.
A few weeks later, I was already spending nights understanding what Vercel is, how databases work, and that Claude will often want to solve simple problems with complex solutions.
Today LocJedi goes live and I get it.
I get why people are doing it. It's equally nerve-wracking and exciting, and I'm all on board.

This looks useful, especially for teams expanding internationally — how are you planning to get your first users? Are you targeting a specific type of business first?
hey, thank you! I did a soft launch on LinkedIn today to try for some early feedback. My work has mostly revolved around SaaS and e-commerce localization, so it naturally felt the first to show this to. Do you have any ideas on how to get more people to check it out?
you are welcome! :) That’s a solid starting point — LinkedIn makes sense given your background.
One thing I’ve seen work well early on is focusing less on broad visibility and more on getting in front of very specific people who already feel the pain (e.g. SaaS founders expanding into new markets).
Out of curiosity — are you trying to position this more as a self-serve tool, or something you’d initially validate with a few hands-on users?
Self-serve first, I think. The tool is built to deliver value without a conversation. The hands-on validation is happening in parallel through direct outreach to SaaS founders I already know who are hitting international expansion. So I'm trying to do both, but the self-serve model is the one that scales.
That makes sense — self-serve is the only model that really scales, but early on the hands-on conversations probably teach you more about the real use cases than analytics alone.
I’ve noticed a lot of successful self-serve products actually start with very hands-on onboarding and conversations, and only later become fully self-serve once they really understand the user behaviour and positioning.
That's true, and very well may be the case. I'm very new to distributing things, so it's baby steps for me, at least for now. I guess I'm trying to approach it as if I were selling a service (which is what I'm used to as a service expert), so a lot of conversations and feedback to steer the ship right.
