--- title: GIA.net | Fresh Eyes - Real Product Feedback for Founders description: Get honest, human feedback on your app, site, or idea from a 30-year internet veteran. No AI, no invoices, just real perspective for small developers. canonical: https://gia.net/ --- # Fresh Eyes: Perspective, not implementation. GIA.net is the personal home of Laura Giacoppo and GIA LLC. It's where my projects live and where I offer honest, human feedback to small developers and founders trying to claim space in this overwhelming place. I do this for free, no strings attached. [Get Feedback](https://gia.net/#contact) | [What is this?](https://gia.net/#about) | [AI Discovery](https://gia.net/gia-ai-discovery.html) --- ## What I Offer Feedback, perspective, and my opinions based on 30+ years of building for the internet. Not legal advice, not financial advice, not a guarantee of any business outcome. Just one person's honest take. ## Active Projects ### YardDesq Simple scheduling, job tracking, and expense management for solo landscapers. No bloat, no steep learning curve. Built because a real landscaper needed it. https://yarddesq.com ### Guante Bridge Adoption fee fundraising for dogs who need homes, named after my street dog Guante. https://guantebridge.com ### AI Discovery What I learned making GIA.net legible to AI systems and a starter kit so you don't have to figure it out from scratch. https://gia.net/gia-ai-discovery.html --- ## What Fresh Eyes Is (and isn't) Fresh Eyes is perspective, not a service engagement. When I look at your thing, I'm giving you my honest read — what I see, what I'd reconsider, what feels right. I'm not agreeing to fix it, build it, debug it, or take it on as a project. My feedback is my opinion, offered in good faith, with no guarantees of any outcome. You take it or leave it. Either is fine. ### What I Don't Do: - **I won't fix your code:** I'm not debugging your app or patching your server. - **I won't build it for you:** I'm not a freelancer for hire. No quotes, no SOWs. - **I won't tell you what you want to hear:** If it's not working, I'll say so. - **No legal or financial advice:** I have opinions, but I'm not a CPA or a lawyer. ### What I Ask of You Be real with me. Share what you're actually working on. Don't spam the form. I take on a handful of requests a month and give each one real attention. If you find it helpful, help someone else. If you insist on some kind of reciprocity, I'll point you to Guante Bridge. --- ## Intellectual Property When you share your idea or project with me, it's still yours. I'm not claiming any rights to anything you share. If you need a formal NDA before sharing, just ask. Happy to sign one. ## Privacy & Data **GIA.net is just me.** Here is exactly what happens with your information: - **What I collect:** Only what you type into the contact form — your name, email address, and your message. That's it. - **What I do with it:** I use it to reply to you. Nothing else. Your information isn't stored in a database, sold, or used for marketing. - **Cookies & Tracking:** None. This site has no analytics, no tracking pixels, and no ad networks. I gauge traffic by the amount of email I get. - **Third Parties:** The contact form sends email through my server (DreamHost). That's the only third party involved. --- ## About GIA stands for Global Internet Attitude. Laura Giacoppo has owned gia.net for approximately 30 years.
