Straight answers about solar, backed by the numbers. AskSolar is a free, independent place for Irish homeowners to figure out solar โ€” before they ever talk to a salesperson. No pushy calls. No sharing your number. Free for homeowners. Heres the thing: most solar advice online is really a sales pitch. We do it the other way round. Everything here is built on our own independent analysis of thousands of real Irish installs, quotes and prices โ€” not a sales script. What you can do: - Get a free instant cost estimate. Pick your county and your bill, and see a fair-price band with the SEAI grant already taken off. No sign-up. - Ask a question. A plain-English assistant answers the things people actually ask โ€” batteries, the grant, selling power back, winter performance โ€” grounded in the real numbers, with sources. - Check a quote. Already got one? Paste it in and get a fair / not-fair read in about 10 seconds. - Compare quotes. Vetted local installers quote for your roof. You see price, system size and battery side by side, and you choose. Were independent. Were not affiliated with the SEAI, and installers dont get ranked by who pays. How it stays free: homeowners pay nothing. Installers pay a small fee per qualified lead โ€” first ones free, no monthly fee, no contract โ€” and new leads auto-match to active installers covering that county. Honest bit, because I think that matters: AskSolar is live and early. The sites up, the flow works end to end, and the plumbing is real. But its pre-revenue and were still proving it out. So this is the start, not the finish. Built by Dan Malone / Mawla Ltd in Dublin.

Product imagery, without the photoshoot. Heres the thing โ€” staging furniture for marketing is expensive and slow. A shoot, a set, a stylist, then do it all again for every room and every channel. PocketWorld takes one photo of your product โ€” a sofa, a chair โ€” and drops it into any room, photorealistic and true to the piece. It holds the products identity: colour, grain, proportions. Swap the scene, try a different colour or material, change the camera angle โ€” same product, every time. If it drifts, one click re-rolls it. Then it gives you the format set your channels actually ask for โ€” 1:1, 4:5, 9:16, 16:9 โ€” cropped so the product still reads, not chopped in half. The flows simple: upload, describe the scene, export. Or hand the goal to the missions agent and walk away โ€” it reviews its own work, tweaks until its right, and shows you what it did. Everythings organised as projects, then products, then scenes, then versions, so youre not hunting through a folder of exports. Who its for: furniture brands and e-commerce teams making product shots โ€” also interior designers showing clients their real room with real pieces, and showrooms turning one hero shot into a campaign. A few honest bits, because I dont want to sell anyone smoke: - Its early. Live and working, but pre-revenue. - Free to try, no card. Free renders are public in the gallery, up to 4 projects. Studio is โ‚ฌ29/mo โ€” private by default, unlimited projects. - You get commercial usage rights on the output โ€” product pages, ads, social, listings. Under the hood its Next.js, React, Supabase and Vercel, with an AI pipeline over Googles Gemini image models. Its agent-native โ€” a small capability gateway means an agent can do what you can do in the app. Made in Dublin.

Most of us know the feeling โ€” busy, doing grand on paper, and still not sure were pointed in the right direction. Worksheets for Growth is a free web app for sitting with that question. Its built around the Japanese Ikigai idea โ€” your reason for being โ€” and walks you through four areas: what you love, what youre good at, what the world needs, and what you can be paid for. Where those overlap is the interesting bit. How it works: - A guided Ikigai journey in four steps โ€” Reflection, Intersections, Discovery, and an Action Plan. - An AI assistant that acts as a coach โ€” personalised prompts and reflections to push your thinking, not just blank boxes to fill in. - A Limiting Beliefs tracker โ€” name the self-doubt thats holding you back and reframe it into something you can actually work with. - Save your progress and come back to it, or export a PDF to share with a coach or mentor. Its free to begin and takes about 15 minutes to get your first reflection down. Ill be straight with you โ€” this is early. Its a real tool thats live and works, but its pre-revenue and still being built. Theres more in the pipeline (an idea-generation tool and a business model canvas) that isnt on the homepage yet. If you try it and somethings off, Id genuinely want to hear it. Built by Dan Malone (Mawla Ltd). Try it: worksheetsforgrowth.com
