SaaS to keep good posture while working
Roast my idea?
I have always been suffering from stiff necks and back pain from long hours spent programming and working at my desk.
My biggest problem was that I tend to slump into bad posture when I am too focused on the work at hand. And it's too late when I notice about it. The soreness and the pain have already set in.
I spent the past month to create a web app that uses AI (computer vision) with your webcam to monitor your posture. You will receive alerts when you are too near to the screen (leading to forward head posture), or when your head is tilted.
I have been using this myself for the last few weeks and I am preparing to launch soon.
Please let me know what you think of this
Sounds exciting. Just joined the waitlist
I built a Mac App for slouch detection last year for fun, feel free to check it out if you are on a mac.

Interesting idea. Good luck!
To me, the best way to fix these issues is to sit less and work out often. It works great for me personally.
It's a good idea, and a serious problem. I think the challenge would be marketing. Most people that need it, don't know they need it.
Best of luck!
Yeah same thoughts. I only realised how serious this problem was for me when I got an x-ray. Hopefully I can find some communities that are already aware of this issue
This is super fascinating. I love this idea!
Thank you!
It's been helping me tremendously but I am trying to validate this as a business idea
