We have developed a SaaS product tailored for a niche industry, featuring both web and mobile-based interfaces. While there are existing products in the market, ours has strong potential to replace current applications, which are largely archaic and expensive. Our modern, user-friendly platform will allow clients to transition to a far more cost-effective solution. Users with smaller setups can also benefit significantly from this application, as it offers substantial price advantages. To achi...

Even though I haven't circulated my website's link anywhere to access it directly. I am majorly focusing on organic search and that is performing okay for now. But I am confused on why am I getting direct traffic so much. Does anyone know the reason for this? Or is this because of some new G4 update? Thanks in advance.

Pretty much the title! I woke up to my first ever sale! I have been building products for the past 3 years and never got to experience this feeling until today. I know this isnt life changing amount but at least im happy i finally reached this milestone.. We recently made changes to our pricing and structure. This is what we think finally ticked over a user to convert: - Our LinkedIn lead agent prior to the change was only one time preview (on trials only) and that very agent also happened...

I’m a solo developer that built a tool that allows developers to capture API traffic and turn it into a working API client just by navigating in their browser (or letting an AI agent do it). An AI agent actually tests the code against the real API. It makes API discovery / API reverse engineering very easy. Where do people find beta users to try out their software and give feedback? Are there communities like console.dev I should try to get this on? Appreciate any advice from people who have s...

Five months ago, I started building an AI job-search SaaS during nights and weekends. I kept watching the signup count grow: 800 registered users. 530 uploaded a resume. 645 resumes uploaded in total. For a while, I thought this meant the product was working. Then I looked at the numbers that were less fun to share: 190 signed-in users were active last month. Around 40 are active weekly. 10 are active daily. 0 are paying. That changed how I look at early traction. A signu...

I just finished building a SaaS app and I'm looking for my first few users to test it. I'm not trying to sell anything yet I just want honest feedback from real people. What's the best way to find early testers? Are there communities, subreddits, Discord servers, or other places where people are open to trying new products? I'd also appreciate any advice from founders who have been through this. How did you get your first 5 10 users? Thanks!

I was thinking about how different technical founders decide what to keep ownership of as their product grows. Some seem to keep architecture and product decisions to themselves but hand off bug fixes, testing, or integrations. Others don't delegate development at all until much later. Looking back, what was the first engineering responsibility you consciously decided to stop doing yourself? More importantly, what made you comfortable handing it off? Was it documentation, automated t...

I kept losing my place mid-recording. Screen recording a tutorial, glancing at a second monitor for the script, breaking eye contact with the thing I was actually demoing. So I built GhostPrompter. The core idea: the script floats on your screen, but every click and keystroke passes straight through it to whatever's underneath. You can read your script and interact with your app at the same time. No alt-tabbing, no second monitor, no memorizing. Two other things it does: Voice-activated s...

Have launched products before to directories like Product Hunt but it seem like its basically just other founders who will give you an upvote and a boilerplate comment, leaving you with a temporary traffic spike and a backlink but no real customers or value. Are any of these platforms actually worth it?

I was 8th employee at a YC W24 startup (acquired by Square), first sales hire at a YC W25 startup, 6th employee at a 500 startups company, and more recently raised $3m for my own startup. I still see so many early stage Founders spending weeks obsessing about their YC application, and have even seen friends literally walk away from their startup just because they were rejected after the interview. so sad.

Some folks found my email, while some just messaged me on linkedin And after a point, it got boring and filtering out dozens of applications which had AI slop So to entertain myself and filter out folks who used AI, I vibe coded a slop detector It scores any text between 0-100, reacts to the slop, gives you a name and also shows all the places where AI was used. The "Slop Goblin" and joker just made me enjoy this process so much haha The irony is using AI to catch AI. Is...

Anyone else notice this. If you edit your own videos, you're stuck spending hours on captions, cutting silence, finding B-roll, adding music, syncing everything together. If you outsource it, professional editors charge a lot per video, and turnaround takes days. The AI tools that exist mostly don't fix this either. Most of them are just clippers, they pull short clips from a long video and that's it. So you end up stacking 4-5 different tools together, one for captions, one for B-roll, one fo...

I’ve spent months building a product that I’m genuinely proud of. From a technical perspective, it’s in much better shape than I expected it would be. What I completely underestimated wasn’t the engineering. It was trust. The product analyzes marketing data, so before anyone can experience its value they have to connect accounts that contain client data. That’s a huge ask when you’ve never heard of me. I’ve tried sample datasets, demo accounts, detailed documentation, and sharing the reaso...

When startups are moving quickly, technology decisions are often made based on speed. That makes sense in the beginning. But later, some decisions become difficult to change: ● Database choices ● Architecture ● Internal tools ● Third-party integrations ● Development processes For founders and developers who have scaled a product: What technical decision helped you the most as your company grew? And what decision caused problems later? [...

About five months ago, I came up with three SaaS ideas that I genuinely believed had huge potential. They were in niches with very little competition, and I felt they could become profitable surprisingly fast. I threw myself into them. For five straight months, I spent almost every day coding, debugging, redesigning, and polishing every little detail until all three products were finally ready to launch. Then I hit a wall I never saw coming. Because I'm Iranian, I couldn't use services lik...

Ours is consistency, there’s a 1.8x to 2.5x performance gap between top and bottom agents and new hires can take 3 to 6 months to ramp. We’ve tried more training and better docs but the gap is still there, im interested in what other teams keep running into.

I started doing SEO and organic content work, and for the past few weeks, we’ve been getting new clients every day. It’s an incredible feeling; believe me, putting in months of hard work and finally seeing the payoff is wonderful so whatever you do, don't give up.

No but seriously, it will never ceases to amaze me how I can just build something, ship it to the internet, have people start using it and even decide to open their wallet for it. All I wanted was to spice up my email signatures so I built a tool to do just that. Because why the hell not! I freaking love this field This is not the first time, but this time I want to take it more seriously, devote more time to marketing because if 1 person decided to spend a small amount of money on my litt...

Bootstrapping a B2B SaaS, pre-revenue, trying to figure out where to spend my time before throwing money at ads. For those who've been through this stage, which channel actually got you your first 10 paying customers, and would you do it again?

This is something that's been crossing my mind for a bit so I thought I'd ask here. I've been wondering how payments are supposed to work like as more SaaS products start letting AI agents complete tasks on behalf of users(giving an agent permanent access to a payment method feels riskier than it needs to be) My first instinct would be to generate a single use or tightly scoped virtual card that's only valid for one purchase or a predefined spending limit instead of letting an agent hold re...

About a year ago, I came across a Reddit meme that made me realize how impossible it is to find old files, screenshots, and documents once they disappear into your phone. Today I'm about $46 away from my first $1,000 in App Store proceeds . The interesting part is that reaching this point wasn't just about building the app. It was about learning distribution. I kept improving my App Store listing, redesigned my screenshots four times, researched keywords, and focused heavily on ASO unti...

Some context first. I'm a solo founder and every time I needed something for a launch or a post, the first ten minutes were always the same: explaining my own product to the tool. What it does, who it's for, what tone, what colors. Canva doesn't know. ChatGPT forgot since last time. So the explanation lived in my head and got retyped, slightly differently, every single time. Sitesyn is different. You paste your product URL once, it reads the live site and extracts what the product does, who th...

happy about it, it wasn’t long ago that it didn’t exist and I had no users

6 $ de MRR. Une cliente. Sur le papier c'est ridicule, je sais. Mais après des mois à construire dans le vide en se demandant si quelqu'un paierait un jour, voir tomber le premier « NEW SUB », ça fait quelque chose. Avec ma copine, on développe MEUF : une app de suivi du cycle menstruel qui va plus loin que le calendrier. Elle adapte la nutrition et le sport à la phase du cycle, propose des articles de fond, et accompagne spécifiquement les femmes concernées par le SOPK. La version Pro est...

We've been using Paddle for 5 years without any issues. We always complied with their AUP and responded to any requests they had. Out of nowhere, they decided to close our account. No fraud, no chargeback abuse, no policy violations that were ever communicated to us. Just an account closure after years of being a loyal customer. The worst part is the lack of transparency. If there's a problem, tell us what it is so we can address it. Closing a long-standing account without a clear explan...

Any insights, stories, or discussion would be greatly appreciated. I'm leaning toward a mixture of cold outreach and content creation. Specifically selling to the SMB space.

“We can just vibe code that ourselves.” we’ve been hearing this a lot lately… from internal teams challenging our product.. For internal tools, it’s often true. But that’s also why we decided to build a B2B SaaS company in 2026. Code isn’t the moat. Expertise is!! A tool you vibe coded today is mostly built on yesterday’s knowledge (LLM cutoff). From that point on, its future depends on how much time your team can afford to invest and most importantly if your team even understands wha...
