Building Solo is not easy but so rewarding
Building solo isn’t easy—but it’s ridiculously rewarding.
I built Build Stability because I was tired of software that makes simple things feel like filing taxes. I’ve worked in tax for decades, and the real secret? Never make it feel like tax. Most systems get this wrong—they think like a tax office.
That’s exactly how most PT software feels.
I remember a doco where Bill Gates struggled to fill out a W-4. That’s the experience: friction everywhere.
Add a client → full onboarding form before you can even start coaching.
Add an exercise → search, scroll, click… repeat for every set.
Assign a workout → confirm, save, reload… still not sure it worked.
All for something that should take 30 seconds.
Trainers don’t need complexity. They need speed.
Hey macroBS
I just read your post. This really stuck with me: "Trainers don't need complexity. They need speed." and "I was tired of software that makes simple things feel like filing taxes."
As a solo builder, I imagine you're dealing with the exact same friction you're trying to eliminate. Managing what features to prioritize, keeping things simple when there's pressure to add more, staying focused on speed over complexity — figuring out what to work on each day when you're juggling all of it gets messy fast.
I'm not selling anything — just talking to solo builders about how you actually manage planning and daily execution when you're focused on building something simple and fast.
Would you be open to a quick 20-minute call about how you're handling priorities with Build Stability? I think your perspective would be really valuable.

HI, i'm Connell, a Bug Bounty Hunter. I run PentraSec, a Web Application Security boutique, similar to platforms like HackerOne and Bugcroud but more personalised, meaning more focus on in-scope applications to test.
I'd be happy to partner with you to test your applications before attackers do; leaving you to focus on the development while i cover your unintentionally open paths and footprints attackers could crawl into, and making sure you stay trusted and guaranteed by your clients.
The friction in professional software usually stems from developers prioritizing data entry over the actual flow of the person using it. When a tool feels like admin work instead of an extension of the trainer's expertise it eventually just gets abandoned for a simple spreadsheet. Since you're cutting out the typical onboarding bloat are you finding that trainers prefer a mobile-first quick entry or are they still doing most of the heavy programming on a desktop?
How many trainers have tried and approved of this software to the point where they want to be a paying customer?
Nice insights! I tried something similar and my experience was that [short experience]. Your approach seems more refined though.
Hello macroBS, I really like the product idea, I’m a product designer and would love to collaborate
