Personal DM (for a friend who is stuck)

Hey — you mentioned you’ve been thinking about a big decision. I built a small thing called FORKS that compares the path you’re on with the path you keep thinking about.

It’s free, takes 3 minutes, and the result is built to make the trade-offs obvious: upside, downside, hidden costs, regret risk, and what to do in the next 30 days.

If you run one, I’d love to know if it matched your gut or pushed back on it.

I kept having the same "should I quit / move / leave / start" conversation with myself for months.

So I built FORKS — a what-if reflection tool that compares the path you’re on with the path you keep thinking about.

It’s not a predictor. Not AI fortune-telling. Just a structured frame to look at the trade-offs honestly.

Free. No upsell. 3 minutes.

I kept circling the same major life fork for months without ever laying the two paths out side by side.

So I built FORKS — a free what-if reflection tool for major life decisions. You describe your current path, an alternate you keep thinking about, set a timeline, and tell it your biggest hope and fear. It generates a structured side-by-side: upside, downside, hidden cost, regret risk, and a 30-day plan.

It does not predict the future. It does not give advice. It is a frame to slow down and see the trade-off honestly.

If you’re stuck on quitting, moving, leaving, or starting something, you might find it useful.

Honest feedback (especially “this was useless”) is what I need most right now.

I kept getting stuck in the same loop: “should I quit / move / leave / start,” then doing nothing for months, then doing the same loop again.

So I built a thing called FORKS. You describe your current path and one alternate path you keep thinking about, set a timeline, tell it your biggest hope and biggest fear, and it generates a structured side-by-side: upside, downside, hidden cost, regret risk, and what to do in the next 30 days.

It’s not predictions, not AI fortune-telling, not therapy. It’s a structured frame to slow down and look at the trade-off honestly.

Free. No payments. No marketing list. I just want to know if the result is actually useful or if it falls flat for someone other than me.

If you run a fork, I’d love to know:
- Did the result match how you actually feel about the decision?
- Was anything surprising?
- What’s missing?

I built this — happy to answer questions.

The problem I had:
I spent months in the same “should I quit / move / start something” loop. Every conversation ended with “I don’t know yet, I’m still thinking about it.” I never actually laid the two paths out side by side.

What I built:
FORKS is a what-if reflection tool for major life forks. You describe your current path, an alternate you keep thinking about, set a timeline, and tell it your biggest hope and fear. It gives a structured comparison: upside, downside, hidden cost, regret risk, and a 30-day plan.

Not a predictor. Not an AI oracle. Not therapy. Just a structured frame to slow down.

The stack:
- Next.js 15 (App Router)
- Supabase (Postgres + Auth + RLS)
- Tailwind
- Vercel

Built solo over a few weeks of evenings. About $0/month in costs right now.

Single fork is free. Forks Insight is a $49 one-time pattern audit if you want it.

What I’d love feedback on:
1. The result page — is the structure (upside / downside / hidden cost / regret risk) the right one, or is something missing?
2. The intake — 7 fields, 3 steps. Too long? Too short?
3. Would you pay for fork history + comparison-of-comparisons?
