Hi Product Hunt, Students, and Researchers! 👋
I’m Faithman, the solo founder of Formatly. I built Formatly after realizing I spent 12 hours on research and 6 hours on formatting. As a solo founder, I wanted to solve a pain point I lived through personally: the tedious, "invisible" hurdle of academic styling that shouldn't exist in 2026, so I decided to build a way out of it.
Most tools only help with citations, but Formatly handles the entire document. From fonts, spacing, and title pages to references—all at once. I wanted to create a "set it and forget it" solution that doesn't feel like a black box.
What’s inside:
◆ Full Style Support: Instantly apply full APA (7th ed), MLA (9th ed), Chicago, Harvard, and Turabian standards to your entire document.
◆ Smart Structure & Layout: Intelligently identifies headings, block quotes, and lists from messy drafts, while automatically fixing margins, line spacing, and font consistency.
◆ Tracked Changes: See exactly what was adjusted. Every margin tweak and font change is logged so you stay in total control of your final draft.
◆ Automated Document Outline: Generates a clickable navigation pane to jump between sections and creates a flawless Table of Contents instantly.
◆ Interactive AI Chatbot: A built-in formatting assistant. Ask questions about specific citation rules or get explanations on complex style guidelines (like those tricky APA edge cases).
I’d love to hear your feedback! As a solo builder, your input is everything. For those of you in academia, does having a "Tracked Changes" view make you feel more confident in using AI for your final submissions?
Also, let me know if there are specific niche styles or features (like LaTeX export) you’d like to see me add next!
I am actively open to collaboration to help scale Formatly. If you’re passionate about education technology or AI-driven productivity and want to discuss how we can grow this together, I’d love to connect!
Happy formatting!
