Paynless provides automated FAANG style pre-development documentation and planning. Input your software objective, as naive or sophisticated as you want, and get all the documentation you need before you start. This is for startups, vibe coders, solo devs, small teams, anyone who needs better pre-development planning but doesn't have the time and budget to do it "right". We're hoping to become the "front door" for apps like Cursor or platforms like Bolt & Lovable so that users start with all the architecture, tech specs, PRD, TRD, etc that helps the agent build the product correctly with less churn. By defining the objective ahead of time and transforming the architecture into a work breakdown structure, developers or agents can increment step by step across the work plan, never having to guess, and always knowing exactly what's been done and what comes next. We just launched the MVP and are looking for feedback. Its still super raw and we have a long way to go, but it should work... mostly... I'm an Elec & Comp Eng, this is my 5th startup, 20-ish years. My cofounder is a CS, his 4th startup, 20-ish years.
