This is what I have turned the video into an article
With all the recent layoffs, I've been thinking a lot about the human side of it all. Beyond the headlines and numbers, there are real people whose confidence and sense of direction just got shattered.
I went through this myself a while back. The gut reaction is to panic and start firing off resumes to anything that moves. The problem is, that often leads you right back into another job that isn't a great fit, and the cycle repeats. The real challenge, I think, is managing the emotional fallout so you can make a clear-headed decision about what's next.
I wanted to build something to help with that specific problem. It's a small web app called Deeper Lights: https://www.deeperlights.com
What it is: It’s not a job board or a resume builder. It's a structured space with guided journaling and small, daily exercises to help you process the anxiety, rebuild some confidence, and get clear on what you actually want before you start the next big job hunt. The goal is to help you pause and reflect, rather than just react.
I would love to get your honest feedback. I'm in the very early stages and know there's a ton to improve. Tearing it apart is welcome.
Specifically, I'm wondering:
Does the core idea resonate? Is this a problem you or people you know have faced?
Is the landing page clear? When you look at the site, do you immediately get what it's for?
What are your first impressions of the onboarding? Is it confusing? Is it too much to ask of someone who's already stressed?
Any obvious features missing? What would you expect from a tool like this?
I'm the founder and will be here all day to answer questions and listen. Thanks in advance.
Delivery is an option that we're contemplating now. If we were to build it, it'll be in next few months to try it out.
On the monetization front, we're thinking introducing in-app payment processing and adding delivery options to take commissions. I'm not sure how excited the users are going to be yet tho, so that'd be the challenge
I think it becomes more difficult when you're looking to buy things outside of kids clothes tho. Things like strollers or baby bouncers - more expensive, short usage.
Facebook marketplace is the most popular one for those, but I generally feel that I don't usually trust those sellers and it's a bit of hassle to get through that. We're trying to see if there's an angle that we can go to address those issues.
I agree that scamming is an issue with few marketplaces. We're trying to add different user scoring methods to show how reliable the seller/buyer is based on their behaviors. We're also trying to see if we can cut deals with daycares and orient the user acquisition/experience centered around them. My hypothesis is that it comes with credibility if we acquire them from daycares around us.
Do you have any other thoughts?
