I'm curious,for a full time mid-tier B2B indie developer (not top , not someone who quit early after a shallow attempt), assuming the skills he had（product, marketing) are all decent, what would the median monthly income roughly be? If the median income is actually even lower than median US income, since the work not easy, then what keeps someone sticking with a indie development job?

Have been testing different types of strategies recently for my SaaS, such as email outreach, posting on Facebook (mainly long-term), posting on Facebook, a small affiliate test in a Facebook group, and a free trial test. No customer so far. Curious what worked best for you.

We seem to have a separate tool for scheduling, documents, communication, estimating, RFIs, safety, accounting... At what point does having more software actually make things harder? What’s one tool you genuinely couldn't work without?

Hi everyone I am trying to build my first saas with the intention os scaling it to a good number. I want to commit to it fulltime but I am stuck on different ideas and don't know what to pursue. Is this normal? I am thinking of getting some help on getting ideas to pursue.

Do you ever burn out before you’ve even really tested your project? I recently realized something pretty frustrating: The market isn’t what kills most of my projects.Most of them don’t even make it that far. I’m one of those people who always has a bunch of ideas. Some bad, some maybe good. And every now and then, one feels interesting enough that I think: OK, I’m actually going to test this one. So I start building. I’m a developer by background, so building the product itself usually isn’t...

I built AutoCuts (autocuts.ai) as a web-based AI studio for screen recording and video editing. It didn’t get traction. So I gave up. Two months later, I got a bill from where the app was hosted. I logged in to see what was still running and noticed something I wasn’t expecting: Hundreds of people had signed up and created projects. But almost all have submitted very constructive feedback: The app was not working properly as a web app. It was very hard to edit large videos, and ...

Not an openclaw of some kind. Not AI agent that posts your business everywhere cos that could immediately become spam. The concept is a distribution matchmaker: it understands a business/ app/ company, identifies communities where the business genuinely belongs, negotiates or verifies permissions where needed, creates community-native posts/ contents based on what the business needs, whether its product announcement, validation, testing etc, and measures whether those placements produce results...

I've spent the past year building Torii ( https://toriiauth.eu ) from Odense, Denmark. Login and user management where the integration is meant to be the easy part, in React, it's one provider and one component, and sessions are handled for you. What I am searching for in this post is critical feedback on the DX. How easy is the Quickstart to follow? What would make you rule out Torii immediately? Are there any EU-specific auth pains (national eIDs, compliance workflows) I should prioritize? ...

Maybe it's just me, but I'm starting to find some AI SaaS pricing pages ridiculous. You used to see something like "$49 per user per month" and immediately understand what you were getting. Now it's $49/month, but you get 2,000 credits. Some AI actions cost more than others, there's an overage fee, certain models aren't included, and apparently I need to understand your entire pricing architecture before I can figure out my monthly bill. I mean I understand why companies are doing ...

Hi all, so I made a SaaS with which I can spinoff an ai based chatbot for a clients website within an hour. As usual like my other projects I really can’t find a way to sell it or find modes of selling it. Can someone please help or advise me on this.

SaaS founders who are already running a business: What’s one repetitive problem you still have to solve manually every week? I’m especially interested in problems around: Marketing Customer acquisition Content Sales Website conversion How are you solving it today, and roughly how much time does it take each week? I’m researching real problems before building anything, so honest answers are much more useful than feature ideas. What’s the one task you wish you could just make disa...

I keep thinking about this because customers can ask for the same thing, but that doesn't always mean it's the right thing to build. Like sometimes one customer asks for something and it sounds like a great idea to build in the saas but then you look at it again and realize they might actually be trying to solve a completely different problem. And then there's also another side where you get 10–20 people asking for something, so it feels obvious that you should build it, but maybe those peop...

Trying to figure out why it's so hard to get traction with a specific audience: construction subs and tradespeople. Built something genuinely free, no card, no signup even needed to try the basic version, walk away anytime if it doesn't help, aimed at a real financial problem they deal with constantly. Not selling anything, not asking for money. I think the real issue isn't the product. It's that this exact audience has been burned so many times by "tech bros" cold pitching website...

So I run kind of a service platform providing AI solutions, not just generic stuff which you see in reels and videos but actual working outputs which help businesses (specifically ones who need appointments) to close leaked leads and basically increase revenue. I got my 1st user for this via IG comment section and then other 2 through referals via some other people, mostly local/inter-state. I want to scale this internationally mainly to US/EU/SGP/JPN. Basically all tier-1 countries. I'm also lo...

I've been working on a SaaS idea for a while and I'm in kind of a weird spot. I know saying "there's nothing else like this" on the internet is basically asking for someone to show up in the comments with 7 links proving you wrong lol. But I've done a lot of digging and, at least so far, I haven't found anyone doing exactly this. And it's not some crazy groundbreaking idea. The problem already exists, a lot of people deal with it, and the solutions they're using right now are pre...

Keep going, it feels unreal 🫡

Do you have a genuinely good product that businesses or a certain industry could use? I can market it and get thousands of people per month seeing your offer or visiting your site. (I don’t charge anything upfront I do commission based or payment after I show results type of thing)

I was actually building an app. I don't want to name it till I publish it. And side by side trying to learn different marketing strategies I could use. But I found out one thing that getting paid users is more difficult that building. And I am confused on how I should market. Many Youtubers say this: 1) Build in Public 2) Meta Ads 3) Product Hunt 4) Facebook groups But the problems I am facing are that I have $0 and also I am not comfortable with showing my face. What do you...

Hello , I am a teen , who made Duee.online , and I made my first sale!!

My last startup was high-touch B2B. It took me 8 months to land the first customer, but that deal was worth $150k ARR. I closed a few more contracts after that and eventually sold the company for 7 figures. This time I wanted to try something different, so I went with a low-touch business. I saw an opportunity for a product I’d happily pay for myself, and I’m having fun building it. I’m learning new lessons every day. Hoping this one will be even bigger than thevlast gig. submitted...

I'll be Direct with the Question because there isn't much to talk about: How did you Validate your Saas Idea? Like, did you ask AI? Is it a good way to ask Ai? And what are the results? Or did you ask directly to your Target Costumers? And where?

I'm building a small SaaS project in India using vibe coding, and I'm currently stuck at the payment part. I basically need a simple setup where users can pay through UPI on my website (ideally a dynamic QR / UPI checkout), I get a webhook when the payment is successful, and then my backend can automatically activate the credits/subscription they purchased. Fast settlement would be a big plus, ideally same-day or close to instant. The problem is that I'm currently operating as an individual/...

Hi Folks, I made a Screen Recorder for tutorials/walkthroughs, that edits itself. The tagline is "Record messy, deliver professional". My special focus, is on people who struggle to talk while recording, making mistakes... repeating too much... It’s not about creating shiny demo videos, but about making real tutorials easier. There is plenty of other apps that does likely that (but not exactly), like Guidde, VideoMule, Tella, Descript, etc Most of them pretty sucessful. So the mar...

I've been a developer for over 10 years, most of which I've spent building mobile apps, web apps and larger systems for other companies. I recently decided it was time to build something of my own, and ended up building Sqanna , a platform for managing smart QR codes. I've had the idea for a really long time ever since we had issues with static QR codes at my old corporate job, so I figured I'd try to solve it. The basic idea is that you create a QR code once and can then change where it le...

I failed many times, now I’m building SaaS and I want it to be successful. But I have some sort of reflex or feeling that it won’t succeed. I’m trying to get rid of that thinking but it doesn’t seem to work. Is it happening to you? What do you think and do you have any advice? Pls help!

We recently released a feature called BugSmash drop (inspired by Cloudflare and Netlify drop) - where users can simply drop their html or zip and get a live hosted link in seconds. Idea was - users can have a quick and easy way to upload & host their claude/codex generated html previews and mockups - allowing them to quickly send a live link to their clients where they can review and share their feedback via BugSmash itself. But, what instead happened - Someone hosted a live gambling...

Ok yall, marketing is biting me in the ass real bad, but I attended Startup week recently and attended every single Marketing Breakout Session. I've got notes. The Foundation: Answer the follwing questions BEFORE you even touch a marketing strategy, and just remember if you're selling to everyone, you sell to NO ONE! Who is your ideal target demographic? What problem does your business/app solve? How does your account differ from competitors? Top Social Media Apps for Mark...

Going live in 4 hours and already got 30+ users waiting for the launch! So, I thought to make it more impactful by onboarding them personally via Google meet.
