Am loving this challenge - but can I/We compete with something we wanna build anyhow?

As long as it’s a new app, that is focused on a business solution, then most likely yes!

Former condo board member here. Lots of time gets lost to admin, without people realizing. Your solution resonated with me. Nice one!

Hi everyone! :waving_hand:

We’re Mindflows, a certified Softr and monday.com partner — and we’re thrilled to share our Softr Build Week project: The Pulse :high_voltage:

We built The Pulse because every company needs one — a central space where people feel connected, informed, and supported at work. Many teams today struggle with scattered communication and manual HR processes, leading to confusion, wasted time, and even turnover. We wanted to change that.

What The Pulse Does
The Pulse helps companies strengthen their “heartbeat” by bringing together people, policies, and processes in one beautiful workspace. Employees can easily:

  • Find internal information and announcements

  • Submit HR or IT requests

  • Access company policies and documents

  • Chat with an AI assistant that answers questions based on internal knowledge

All of this is powered by Softr Databases, Workflows, and Interfaces — no code, just clarity.

:clapper_board: Watch Our Build:
:one: Short Social Demo (1:25): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqrKaH1m4CY
:two: Full Walkthrough (8 mins): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIoh-pFCepw

We designed The Pulse not just as a Build Week project, but as something we’d proudly deploy for real clients. It’s a space where clarity replaces confusion — and where people feel happier, more informed, and more aligned at work.

Thank you, Softr team and community, for making this possible. :heart:
— The Mindflows Team

Hey everyone! :waving_hand:t3:

We wrapped up our first ever Softr Build Week, and we couldn’t be more excited about how it turned out. More than 400 people registered, builders from all over the world shipped projects, and we hosted over 10 live sessions with the help of our partners.

Thank you to everyone who jumped in, asked questions, shared progress, and built alongside us. The energy in the community all week long was awesome.

:folded_hands:t4: A Big Thank You to Our Judges

A special shoutout to our Build Week judges — Alexandre Kantjas, Ciara Wearen, and Matthias Frank — who reviewed the submissions, provided thoughtful feedback, and helped us select this round’s winners. We’re grateful for your time, insights, and support.

Now let’s highlight the winning projects from this round. Every one of these apps was built with care, creativity, and a strong eye for problem-solving.
