Hi Sumo-lings! 👋

I’m Gavin Wang, founder of Buildin.

Buildin started from something very simple.

To think clearly, plan properly, and turn ideas into real, workable systems, I found myself constantly switching between tools. Ideas start out messy, but very quickly you’re forced to turn them into documents, tasks, or databases — often before they’re really ready.

I realized the problem wasn’t just having too many tools.

It was that thinking itself didn’t have room to unfold naturally.

That’s why, in Buildin, we put a strong focus on structured thinking from the very beginning. You can start with mind maps to explore and shape your ideas, then turn them into documents, tasks, or databases when they’re ready — so they become systems you can actually act on.

As those systems mature, you can also choose to share them through paid subscriptions, turning long-term knowledge into something sustainable.

As Buildin evolved, another topic became increasingly important: data ownership. 🔐

For individuals and creators, we offer a simple and reliable SaaS version, so you can focus on thinking, creating, and collaborating without friction.

For teams and organizations with higher security or compliance needs, Buildin also supports private deployment, so you can run it on your own servers and keep full control of your data.

With Buildin, you can:

• Turn ideas into documents, tasks, and databases — step by step
• Collaborate efficiently with your team 🤝
• Share your work through paid subscriptions as a creator

We’re excited to launch on AppSumo 🌮 and to build Buildin together with a community that values clarity, ownership, and tools designed to last.
