Side-project ideas with receipts.

Procore charges a $15K floor and raises 150% with no negotiation. From p_H_044: 'They raised their price 150% with no negotiation. We had to migrate to another software within two months.' p_H_036 (CRO, 11-50 employees): 'Procore management will strong arm you... misrepresented their product capability, costing $2k for software you can't use.' p_H_040: 'It's a sledgehammer for smaller projects and is a pain to onboard new subcontractors.' p_H_043: 'Procore is pretty much the only competent option and the minimum to pay for it is just unrealistic for smaller-mid sized GCs.'

SimplePractice and Practice Better are VC-funded, raising prices, and dropping support quality. p_H_031 (G2): 'SimplePractice increased the monthly price for basic features astronomically, causing clients to lose appointment reminders.' p_H_049 (LPCC practitioner): 'It's hard to support EHRs funded by venture capital money where growth is their top priority.' p_H_028 (Capterra, MD of medical practice): 'Stuck in frustrating cycle... each response takes a day or more... two-week waiting time.' p_H_032 (PT, APTA-cited): 'Prior authorization is a huge time drain that may be partially by design because it wears us down.' Crucially, no EHR surfaces PA status in the scheduling view, causing rescheduled appointments and denied claims.

u/TeddyH30 (r/SideProject, 60 upvotes / 56 comments): 'My brother and I have been lifting for years and kept running into the same problem: we're progression-focused and always get our best results when we actually track everything, but there's no good way to do it all in one place. We'd use one app for workouts, another for nutrition, then have random training questions pop up that would be perfect for a coach but not worth paying someone full-time for.' Top reply (90 upvotes): 'Finally, a 10,000th fitness tracker.' — sceptical but engaged.
