What I Built
StreamPulse - a payment tracking dashboard for freelancers.
Tracks payments from Stripe, PayPal, Venmo, and bank accounts in one place.
The Problem
As a freelancer, you know this pain:
- Check Stripe to see if client paid
- Open PayPal for different client
- Log into Venmo for side gig
- Check bank for wire transfer
- Manually log everything in spreadsheet
17 minutes per day. Every day.
The Solution
One dashboard. All payments. Real-time updates.
Tech Stack:
- React
- Node.js
- Plaid API (bank connections)
- Stripe API (payment data)
- Netlify hosting
The Reality Check
Day 5 of building in public:
- ✅ Product is live
- ❌ 0 paying customers
- ❌ Got roasted on Reddit twice yesterday
- ❓ Questioning if anyone actually needs this
The Offer
Lifetime FREE access to first 50 users.
Not a trial. Not a discount. Actually free forever.
Why?
I need to know if this solves a real problem. If 50 people use it and 5 love it, I'll keep building. If nobody uses it, I'll pivot.
What I need from you:
- Use it for 2 weeks
- Give me brutally honest feedback
- If it saves you time, share a testimonial

Built this because I hated checking 4 apps when I freelanced.
