can you please elaborate more on this idea, like describe the flow, what exactly it is solving?

• The user uploads an invoice into the system.

• The system automatically schedules and sends a friendly reminder email a few days before the due date.

• If the invoice isn’t paid on time, it sends a firmer follow-up on the due date and a “last chance” notice afterward.

• When the client makes a partial payment, the tool updates the remaining balance and sends an updated reminder.

• All sent reminders, client views, replies, and payment statuses appear in one simple dashboard so the user can track everything at a glance.

This tool automates politely sending invoice reminders so freelancers can stop feeling awkward chasing payments and get paid faster without manual follow-ups.

[Hasan]

got your point, but do you think this is a real problem worldwide? I mean did you see somewhere freelancers complaining and worried about this?

usually freelancers use 3rd part services for payments that takes care of this, yes? like upwork or others.

I just want to make sure the idea is valid before you build.

I can add to my validation engine if you want, will scrape the web and check if people are talking about it. it will take like 24, 48 hours.
