Background and pain
The pain
Invoice, order and membership numbers must be sequential and unique — no-code backends only give row IDs.

The opening
A sequence-number microservice: per-tenant counters, no duplicates, daily/monthly/yearly resets.
How to validate it
- Read the whole thread and note the recurring scenarios — repetition is the density of the need.
- Search existing tools around "sequence / unique ID" and check which single step they actually cover.
- Put up a one-line landing page, share it back to Glide Community, and see whether anyone asks about pricing.
