All fair. Thanks for engaging seriously. Seeding supply is the cold start problem that kills 90% of marketplaces. I'm not solving it with growth hacks. I'm solving it with my phone. People I know who've navigated hard things

I built a platform where 100% of expert fees go to charity (PassItOn.To)(passiton.to)

I built PassItOn.To in a week. One person. Here's the idea: You book a video session with someone who's navigated what you're going through. Eldercare. Adoption. Career pivots. Teaching. Whatever. They set their rate ($50 to

Haha, I love 90s Geocities websites. I used Cursor AI - Give it a try

Yep, it’s 100% free—no paywalls, no sneaky upsells, just a tool to help people push back when they’re owed money. I built this because I wanted to learn something new and help people who, like me, have been burned by shady contractors, land

That’s why the tool doesn’t generate fake legal letterheads or make it look like an attorney is behind it. But here’s the thing—you don’t need the illusion of a law firm to make a demand letter effective. The real power is in the clear, str

You’re not wrong—letterhead does add a certain “oh sh*t” factor. But the real power move? Clarity + Confidence. Most disputes don’t actually go to court, they get resolved because one side sounds like they know what they’re doing. Would an

I’m Arash, a real human who’s been burned by this exact problem—along with plenty of friends—so I built this as a free tool to help people avoid the same headache. No data collection, no sneaky monetization, just a straightforward way to pu

Yeah, if certain folks had their way, wage theft would go from “illegal” to “just good business.” The reality? Companies will always push the limits when there’s no accountability. That $230M is just the tip of the iceberg—imagine how much

I don't see why not. I'll work on it. :)

Yep—no smoke and mirrors here. It’s an LLM-powered service. The form isn’t just window dressing; it makes sure you include the right details so you don’t end up sending a "kindly pay me back, please" email that gets ignored. The r

Bingo—of course we use an LLM. No human is sitting there churning out demand letters by candlelight. The magic isn’t just in AI spitting out legal-ish text (any LLM can do that); it’s in making sure the letter is structured, state-specific,

You could CC a lawyer’s email if you want to add some theatrical flair, but the real power move is in the perception of legal escalation, not an actual inbox ping to JohnSmith@law.com. The letter itself, dripping with "I know my rights

This is fixed now! Thanks again.

Totally—lawyers are problem solvers. But they also have a perverse incentive to extend problems, because billable hours are the name of the game. The high costs? Sure, some of it goes to deep research and strategic thinking... but a lot of

Exactly the kind of thing the U.S. legal system would never implement because it makes too much sense. Here, getting paid often feels like a side quest in a bureaucracy-themed video game. No centralized “fill out a form and get your money”

Right now, "send it" means you download the letter and handle delivery yourself—email, snail mail, carrier pigeon, whatever works. No, we don’t physically mail it (yet). No, we don’t offer legal advice. I do think we could send re

Love it. The AI-powered legal flex. You didn’t just demand hot water—you weaponized syntax. The reality is, most of these disputes aren’t about legality, they’re about perceived authority. A well-worded, confident letter triggers the “oh sh

by arashvakil 2y ago
Bingo. The system isn’t built to help you—it’s built to exhaust you. It banks on the idea that you’ll get frustrated, give up, and move on with your life. That’s why precision matters—right language, right proof, right tone. And yes, the le

API is getting hammered! Thank you for reporting it!

Thanks for the comments and feedback! In my experience this kind of nasty-gram gets people to the table and lets them know you mean business.
