Lead-Leak CRM

A technical founder gets 40 inbound leads a month (contact-form fills, demo requests, trial signups) and assumes the good ones will book themselves. They will not. A 147-point HN thread nailed it: 'leads leak, no follow-up, no booking.' The founder is heads-down shipping, a hot lead emails on Tuesday, gets no reply by Friday, and buys a competitor. There is no system flagging 'this $5k-potential lead has had zero follow-up for 4 days,' because every real CRM feels like a second job the founder refuses to take.

It ingests leads from your forms, inbox, and Stripe trial signups, then watches each one for leaks: no reply within X days, no meeting booked, no trial activity. It nudges you (or auto-sends a templated follow-up) only on leads going cold, so you never manage a pipeline, you just plug leaks. Zero sales-ops ritual.

Technical solo founders and 2-5 person dev-led teams getting 10-100 inbound leads a month who refuse to run a real CRM but are losing deals to dropped follow-ups.

This is a beginner-friendly micro-SaaS idea, ideal for first-time builders or developers looking for a manageable side project. Ideas at this difficulty level typically involve straightforward architectures, well-documented APIs, and clear user flows.
