I have coded a tool to help record everything about your horses. I have coded it to be as flexible as possible, so it works for all breeds and all disciplines. I have collaborations with Racing Associations within Australia to provide the software to new owners of retired racehorses. I am trying to expand to the USA via Texas and to the UK this year. https://horserecords.info

Been living with horses for almost 20 years and I had no idea what an Agistment was (we call it "boarding" in the US).

I took a quick look. Did not see medication records or required tests (Coggin's etc.), but that may be different from country to country.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Where do you find customers for this?

I came upon KBee 'organically' last year. I came from a Notion org to a Google Doc org and I hate Docs and the siloed nature of it. General Drive search is a mess when you're searching for knowledge and not files. Suggested KBee to bring some of the discovery back in to the org.

What else do you hate?

Sounds very cool. I passed it on to a friendly organization. This organization is in the Google Workspace ecosystem, but Google doesn't have documentation as accessible as Notion. We could try to implement Notion, but this will scatter the data storage and then there is the problem of archiving if the experiment fails. This looks like a plug-in solution to our problem of having Notion-like lightweight documentation a…

You are correct that we charge a per org fee regardless of number of seats. For non-profits, we offer a 50% discount on the subscription price. All the nonprof needs to do to get the discount is email me at sai@kbee.app

https://roadmap.kbee.app doesn't load for now. Will check back later! :)

Ahh yes, this is down. We are still deciding if we want to bring back the public facing roadmap :)

Is the Google drive thing only a way to import data - or can the data be stored in Drive but edited in your service?

All data is stored & edited in Drive. Kbee simply renders it in an easy to search/consume manner

Do you have a blog or a write up explaining how you went about doing this ?

We wrote about our entire journey on IndieHackers. You can find our posts here: https://www.indiehackers.com/product/kbee

We went from nothing to paid users & number 2 product of the day on ProductHunt over a period of three months.

Beat That Flight - https://beatthatflight.com.au/ - been my side hustle for nearly 6 years now. White labeled flight & hotel search engine, and I share deals for Aussies (and now Kiwis as well) via FB/email subscription. Not huge income but it means the wife doesn't need to go back to work yet after having kids :)
