About

FoundStep is a discipline-driven project management system built specifically for solo developers who struggle to finish what they start, focusing on enforcing structure across the entire lifecycle from idea to launch. It positions itself not as a flexible task manager, but as a constrained workflow where “the constraints are the product,” requiring users to validate ideas before building and complete all defined tasks before shipping. It introduces a structured process that includes a mandatory 7-step idea validation framework, where users define the problem, evaluate demand, assess feasibility, and decide whether to build, wait, or reject an idea before writing code. Once a project begins, Scope Locking prevents uncontrolled feature expansion by requiring explicit justification for any changes, with every modification permanently recorded in a “Shame History” log to create accountability and reduce scope creep.

About

Docket is a scope change management tool for studios and agencies. It owns one moment most tools miss: the mid-project client request that nobody formally tracks. Clients submit change requests through a structured link — no account required. They describe what they want, why, any reference material, and the deadline. You're notified, then assess the impact (accept, decline, or discuss) and add cost and timeline figures. Docket generates a plain-English summary — "Adding the dashboard: +3 days, +$800. Approval required before work begins" — and sends it back as a link. The client approves or declines in seconds. Every approval is timestamped, attributed, and permanent, with email and click tracking plus optional verification for high-value projects. The full log lives with each project: filterable, and exportable as a signed PDF for invoicing or dispute resolution.
