Hey everyone,

I'm Said Baouhmad, a solo developer, and I wanted to share the raw journey behind a platform I’ve been pouring my nights into building: IELTSRise.

The inspiration came from watching brilliant, hard-working international students constantly stall out at a flat Band 6.5 on their IELTS exam writing modules. Because high-end human tutoring is gated behind steep hourly fees ($30–$50+/hr), most students simply cannot afford the continuous feedback loop required to figure out what microscopic structural or grammatical errors official examiners are penalizing them for.

To solve this, I spent the last few months engineering an automated, instant evaluation engine. Instead of just guessing a vague score, the platform maps an essay across all 4 official assessment criteria quadrants independently, highlights precise vocabulary collocation gaps, logs grammatical errors, and generates a side-by-side Band 9 model rewrite for that exact prompt.

The Launch Day Challenge 🚀

We officially went live on Product Hunt today to launch IELTSRise out into the wild!

Building in public as a solo founder is an incredible mix of excitement and imposter syndrome. I am heavily focused on scaling our organic visibility and fine-tuning our user experience right now, so I would love to ask this community for some raw product feedback:

Growth Stack: For an educational tool relying heavily on landing resources, what are your absolute favorite methods for accelerating programmatic SEO indexing?

UI/UX Strategy: When managing complex data dashboards (like granular score trends over time), what tricks do you use to keep the workspace clean and un-intimidating for everyday users?

If you have a spare moment today to check out our live framework, test your own writing skills for free, or support our launch, it would mean the absolute world to me:

Support our launch on Product Hunt: https://www.producthunt.com/products/ieltsrise

Thanks so much for the support. I’ll be hanging out in the comment sections below to talk architecture, algorithms, or product strategy!
