Show HN: ApeiroCraft – see when clients open your proposals

Posted by lolllll 2 days ago

Built this after watching freelancers send proposals and hear nothing for days — not knowing if the client even looked at it.

Read receipts on proposals, e-signature, and one-click invoice generation from accepted proposals. Free plan available.

Honest feedback welcome — especially if you send client proposals regularly.

I don't know that knowing whether the potential client has read your proposal has any bearing on the actions you would take or the decisions you would make, so it seems like noise.

Regardless of whether the potential client has read your proposal, when you don't hear anything for days, you have to follow up, person-to-person. If you don't get any responses, that is a response: they're just not that into you or your proposal.

Founder here. Happy to answer any questions about how it works or why I built it this way. Honest feedback especially welcome.

As a French reader, I read this as "ApéroCraft" ("apéro" means "Pre-dinner drink" here)

Ha — unintentional, but I'll take it. ApéroCraft does pair well with a proposal sent before dinner with a drink. lol

how does this work?

When you send a proposal through ApeiroCraft, your client gets a link. The moment they open it, you get notified — timestamp, how many times they've viewed it.

The same link has the e-signature built in. When they sign, their details are captured legally. One click converts the accepted proposal to an invoice with the same line items — nothing gets retyped.

Feel free to try it. Try for free. apeirocraft.tech
