I built a comic book maker that even allows you to build full c op mica with total creative control using ai.i have been building this for almost 3 months posted, marketed( zero budget cz I’m a broke student) The platform Itzel is not only limited to comics but 3d Generation engine and a community to display and share your creations. It’s another 3 months later and not only do I have no paying users I have had just 2 signups to date. I’m so defeated right now and what keeps me going is all t...

Before: https://imgur.com/a/5bzd9OK After: https://imgur.com/a/1KjKWnE I'm the founder of Quickpages.co which was made 10 years ago. It initially had massive traction somehow and continued getting views for many years thereafter. It ranked #1 on "Free landing pages" and got most of its views from Google & other sites writing articles about it. Me, being a really lazy developer and having full-time jobs, and not being interested by the problem (technically speaking), I n...

So I'm a chrome extension builder(currently building Spoof Geolocation ) and i've made 3.70$ from just building it. It was more but thanks to gumroad, almost half is cut. Its hard trying to make money thats not though "passive" ways. I might have to switch to other ways of making money but this is my story now. I don't know why i'm posting this, but it might help someone in any way. NEVER GIVE UP [link] [co...

I have been working on my new site (0 DR) SEO for 2 months. For First 1.5 months, it was pretty flat around 10 impressions a day and at the end of 2nd month, my DR reached 30 (all organic btw) and It crossed 2-3K impression. But still Most of my target keywords are still sitting around pages 5–6 , but a few long-tail blogs reached page 1–2 . One of those blog brought me my ideal customer . User journey looked like this: Read the blog for ~20 seconds Clicked the CTA Spent ~2 se...

I could prompt a dashboard into existance in minutes, and under my own account it looked great. Then a buddy offered to test the app last week. He logged in, clicked around for maybe 30 seconds, and messaged me: “uh, am i suppose...

A few months ago, I tried a similar challenge where i gave myself 5 days to earn my first money online, i failed bcs i don't think i put enough effort This time i m taking it more seriously The main skill i have is web dev, i can build complete websites by writing code myself, i may use AI occasionally if i get stuck on complex backend problem but i don't rely on it to build project My goal isn't really $10, its to figure out where i stand, i have much bigger goals in future and i want to ...

Actually, my SaaS is HabitHook - Social Habit Tracker. As per the niche, I priced my application, but as I won't know how my competitors are charging worldwide, I tracked via Claude, got a bit of an idea, and priced accordingly. As I'm an Indian, seeing consumers in India, I reduced its price by a certain percentage, kind of like 199 rs for monthly and 1899 rs for yearly. And the price suits their pockets. My worldwide price is kind of settled by the Play Store via its calculation with a b...

Hi, I've already built two SaaS products. The first one never launched because I spent years writing code, perfecting the design, finding the perfect logo, and endlessly adjusting small UI details like border radius. For the second product, I took the opposite approach. I built and launched it quickly without doing proper market research. It got two users to sign up, but neither of them actually used the product. Looking back, I realized that in both cases I didn't truly understand the p...

Imagine you're launching a brand-new SaaS today. You have: $0 marketing budget No existing audience No investors A product that's ready to use What would your first 30 days look like? Where would you spend your time? What would you do in Week 1? What would you completely ignore? Curious to see how different founders would approach the same challenge.

My iOS run was fine. My main app makes about $1K a month, steady but not passive. Another has 21,000+ downloads and a 4.8 rating. I know the App Store's every corner, and I'm keeping the apps alive. I'm just not betting the next chapter on them. Three reasons, none of them "iOS is dead": Apple owns the relationship. You don't have a customer list, you have an audience Apple lets you talk to. You don't have distribution, you have a shelf Apple lets you stand on. One mis-applied revi...

so i just launched LoopOut, an android app that tracks and blocks reels/shorts (instagram, youtube, tiktok, snapchat). uses accessibility service to count every reel you watch, has a brain health score, streaks, floating bubble, all that stuff spent months on it and now i'm just staring at 0 downloads like 💀 producthunt seems obvious but i keep hearing timing is everything there. also thinking about posting in r/nosurf and r/digitalminimalism but idk if that comes off as just self promo ...

One of the last things I built at work was a small feature. After I got laid off, I kept thinking about it. Eventually I realized the feature was probably more valuable as its own product than where it originally lived. So I rebuilt it from scratch. Now some people from my former company have seen it and started asking questions. Didn’t expect that plot twist.

Everyone seems to be running into the same problem with agents... agent sprawl. Just a few years ago, companies were buying ChatGPT enterprise licenses. Now, they have a coding agent, a customer support agent, a marketing agent, and a bunch of different tools their team bought on their own credit cards. The problem is that every single one of those agents is has no actual knowledge about your business. They don't share a memory. They don't can't work off to each other or share context. Soo...

Checked my analytics this week and chatgpt.com is now my second biggest referrer after Google, which I never set out to achieve and honestly can't fully explain. Visitors land tagged with utm_source=chatgpt.com so it's definitely coming from inside conversations, but there's no way to see what they actually asked it. Some land on the homepage, some go straight to the pricing page, so it's clearly answering different kinds of questions about the product. Anyone else seeing this with their SaaS?...

Launching a new n v imp feature in 4-5 weeks. Looking for an agency that makes founder-led launch videos Who's actually good at this? Agency, freelancer or tool …open to all three and or any other suggestions. where should look for em as I already posted on x and linkedin and didn’t find anyone useful

I run an AI automation company and managed to get a meeting with the COO of a big energy and steel distributor. He was pretty invested in the idea until he asked what other clients I've worked with, and that's where it started going downhill. I've never worked with a company his size, and when I mentioned the biggest company I've worked with is an HVAC company with a few locations, he started frying me. Basically bottled the deal. After that he wasn't invested in the idea and I lost all cred...

This started as a passion project but I ended up creating an entire app. It has a lot of visualizing and reporting tools that I was not able to find all together in a single application. It is both useful and just fun to use. I almost want to get into AR game making after this. What it does : • AR heatmaps - walk your home or office and watch the signal heatmap flow across the floor in real time, plus signal orbs you can literally walk through • Floorplan surveys - import a floorplan a...

I know it's "just" $9 , but I can't stop smiling. Over the last few weeks I've been building a Chrome extension for developers. There were days where I wondered if anyone would actually pay for something I made. Today, a complete stranger did. The money isn't what made me happy. It's the fact that someone I don't know looked at my product and thought, "Yeah, this is worth paying for." That feeling is hard to describe. It's also a reminder that every bug fix, l...

No, this is no rage bait. I know the golden rule of SaaS: customers don't give a damn about your tech stack. If the app solves their problem, you could run it on a Google Sheet for all they care. But as a dev, I'm just curious what people here are actually building with right now. For the longest time it felt like everyone was pushing Next/Nuxt etc and full serverless. I gave nextjs a fair shot and tbh... I don't like it. Didn't want the vendor login where costs could explode and instead wan...

got 27% increase in traffic in 3 weeks from these simple fixes content is 100% human, but crawlability was super bad so what I did is I opened GSC, pages report shows every single page Google refused to index and why found orphan pages, noindex tags, redirect chains, old sitemap fixed all of that, removed noindex tags, fixed redirects, linked every orphan page from a relevant existing page then rebuilt a sitemap and resubmitted in GSC after that added JSON-LD schema. organization, so...

I'm heading to building a saas product which is a clear path for me. The main issue for me is right way to reach users before even building it on reddit and twitter. As I have no followers on Twitter it seems to be impossible to market there and on reddit, every community has the non-promotion guidelines. So, the situation seems problematic either ways (or may be I'm overthinking). Really, finding ways and thinking my brains out to get over this situation. Any way to get out of this? ...

We've been working on solving a problem that made me re-do screen recording so many time before i could show a new feature. We are trying to change that with Cormaa - an app that helps you create publish ready videos of your actual product (not AI slop). We are very close to getting the product very good at doing what we imagined to be. But we have opened access to our app so you can create account, connect your app (log in to your app's demo account) and try creating your app most fundamenta...

I'm making this post solely because I hate Twilio so much. - They charge so much for their messaging you'd think it would be premium service (its not) - They have absolutely no customer service, and instead they have literal automated email templates that get sent when you open a support ticket - They upcharge you for trying to contact a HUMAN BEING for support - Their interface and UI sucks so bad oh my god. I have more to say but I'm going to stop myself here. This is a PSA please neve...

Hey guys, I shipped 3 products this week, and when I finally started marketing, there was a lot of bad feedback from Redditers. A lot were saying there are free alternatives, and the app isn't worth it That's not the point though. After a few minutes of feeling bad for myself and almost falling into depression, I opened Reddit again, and instead of being greeted by those aggressive comments, I was greeted by a feed full of people building, just like me. Trying, striving, to make their ideas co...

The hardest part of building a SaaS has completely changed. A few years ago, building the product was the hardest challenge. Today? AI and vibe coding have made it possible for almost anyone to build and launch a SaaS in days. Now the hardest part is generating sustainable revenue. Here's what I keep seeing: Someone builds a product with AI. Buys a domain. Launches within a weekend. Prices it lower than everyone else. Gets some initial customers. Revenue slows after a few...

Has anyone here made a video explainer for their product? Did you hire someone, use AI, or make it yourself? Need some feedback.

A lot of companies are talking about using AI, but when you look closer, most of them are still stuck at the ChatGPT experiment stage. They’ve tried prompts, maybe tested a few automation tools, but they don’t really have AI built into their actual workflows. That’s where AI consulting can be useful. A good AI consultant or AI development team should help with things like: Finding where AI can actually save time or money Automating repetitive internal workflows Building custom AI ass...

I know this isn't a massive milestone compared to many founders here, but getting distribution right while keeping churn under control has been much harder than building the product itself. This is my second startup. I crossed $1K in my first 20 days, mostly through Reddit and LinkedIn. Then health issues, subreddit bans (my biggest acquisition channel), and early churn slowed everything down. Over the following weeks, I focused less on growth and more on fixing the product, improving retent...
