You've spotted a problem. Let's find out what should be built.
I help people who have noticed something in their work or everyday life that a website or app could make better — nurses, teachers, tradespeople, parents, and anyone with a problem they can't stop thinking about.
Before anyone spends thousands building anything, we work out whether the problem is real, who it affects, and whether a small first version would actually help.
Built for people with ideas, not for enterprises.
Building something isn't the hard part anymore. Knowing what's worth building is.
Explore
Make sure you're solving a real problem before spending serious money.
Build
If it's worth pursuing, AI-assisted development keeps the first version smaller and more affordable.
Learn
Get it in front of real people, see what happens, and decide what to do next.
From real work
Ideas start with a problem you already understand.
You do not need a pitch deck. If you have noticed something that keeps going wrong in your profession, that is enough to start.
Nurses
If a workaround on the ward has been bothering you for years, it might be worth finding out whether software could take it off people’s plates.
Ideas for nurses →Teachers
If you have built yet another tracker, letter home or cover sheet because nothing quite fits, you may already have the beginnings of a product.
Ideas for teachers →Gardeners
If quoting, scheduling or keeping clients informed still happens in a notebook and a string of texts, there may be a simpler product waiting underneath.
Ideas for gardeners →Builders
Variations, snagging, photos and “we agreed that on Tuesday” still live in WhatsApp more often than they should. That is usually where a useful product starts.
Ideas for builders →Estate agents
Feedback, vendor updates and the notes you actually need before a second viewing still fall through the gaps of most agency software.
Ideas for estate agents →Accountants
If January still means hunting for documents, repeating the same client email and keeping a mental list of who has gone quiet, there may be a better first step than another spreadsheet.
Ideas for accountants →I'm not trying to become a large software company.
I work with a small number of people each year, from the first conversation through to a first version they can actually try. You will always work directly with me, not an account manager.
I've built and launched my own product. Now I help other people decide whether theirs is worth building.
“Bouncingsprout really know what they’re doing. Not only did they add the functionality I wanted, but they also asked all the right questions to get the most out of the changes, and added great ideas to the mix. They’re a pleasure to work with too – thanks, guys!”

How it works
From first conversation to first users
A simple process designed to reduce risk before writing lots of code.

Share your idea
Tell me about the problem you have noticed. If I can help, we will have a short conversation to explore it together.

Discovery Workshop
A structured session where we define the people it is for, what the first version should include, and the risks worth knowing about.

Build
I start creating the product using rapid AI-assisted development, with regular check-ins so you can see it taking shape.

Launch
Release it to real people, measure what matters and continue improving.
“The Bouncingsprout team combine, unusually, the skills of being highly technical with also being very easy to talk to. They know what you're talking about even when you don't, and they turn it into digital wizardry that works even better than you imagined.”
