I’m building a lead follow-up tool for solo consultants because I hate bloated CRMs. Am I crazy?

Hey everyone,

I’ve been talking to a few solo consultants lately and the consensus seems to be: Salesforce/HubSpot is too much, and Spreadsheets are too little.

I’m a dev building Relix—a lean tool specifically for people who just need to see their unread lead emails, drag a card on a Kanban board, and send a follow-up without leaving the tab.

The "Where I'm At" part: The core engine is built (Next.js/NeonDB), but I haven't integrated payments or finished the 6-week Google API verification yet. It’s essentially a "raw" MVP.

I’m looking for 5-10 solo consultants who:

1. Are currently drowning in manual email follow-ups.
2. Want a "dumbed down" CRM that just works.
3. Would be willing to look at a 2-minute demo video and tell me if I’m solving a real problem or just wasting my time.

If this sounds like your current headache, let me know in the comments. I’d love to ask you 3 quick questions about your workflow.
