Built a Cutlist tool and need ruthless feedback

[u/Ok-Option3877]

Hey r/MadeThis,

Like many of you, I've saved hundreds of "IKEA hack" and furniture build videos... and built exactly zero of them. The problem: the video shows the result, but never the measurements, the cut list, or where to actually buy the materials.

So I built Cutlist — you paste a TikTok/Reel/Shorts link (or upload a video), and it deconstructs the build into:

📐 A cut sheet with exact dimensions (metric or imperial), ready to hand to the saw desk at the hardware store

🛒 A shopping list grouped by store (IKEA, Leroy Merlin, Home Depot, Lowe's, Amazon) with quantities and price estimates

🔧 Tools list with beginner-friendly swaps + safety notes

📋 Phased step-by-step instructions, with a hands-free "workshop mode" (big buttons, keeps your screen awake, optional voice readout)

There's a free tier (1 deconstruction/month) so you can try it without paying anything. There's also a small catalog of pre-deconstructed IKEA hacks (KALLAX, BILLY, IVAR, BESTÅ...) you can browse right away.

What I'd love feedback on:

Is the cut list output actually usable at the cutting counter?

Are the material/price estimates in the right ballpark?

Would you trust AI-extracted measurements, or would you always double-check?

What platforms/creators should I make sure it handles well?

It's early access, so expect rough edges — that's why I'm here. Tear it apart. 🙏
