We're building software to help creators and brands discover each other, manage collaborations, and simplify campaign workflows. As we continue building, we'd love to hear from people who work in the creator economy, whether you're a creator, marketer, brand, or agency. Some areas we're particularly interested in are: UI/UX and overall product experience Features that would save you time or reduce manual work Pain points in managing creator campaigns Creator discovery and onboardin...

I’ve been working on my first website/app for the past 3 weeks. It’s called GearMind , an AI automotive assistant that helps diagnose vehicle issues and guides you through fixing them step by step. I’d really appreciate any feedback, advice, or ideas on anything

my website is jeeplanner : https://www.jeeplanner.in/ well i posted 1 time already about my site i was sorry about that ! so whats your opinion guys , if your free leave me a suggestion mates ! thank you !

was scrolling Youtube and kept seeing these polished launch videos everywhere that look like someone paid an agency a few thousand dollars for. figured that was out of budget for a side project, so I went looking for a cheaper way in. ended up finding remotion, an open source library that lets you build videos using actual code and react components. so instead of hiring anyone or learning a whole new video editor, I just vibe coded one for fun, ran it against my friends site, and the output ge...

I spent the last two weeks building an internal tool for our team. It was originally meant to help us manage our own work and client projects, but we decided to make it public. The problem was simple. Our tasks lived in a project manager, while the actual context lived inside GitHub. A ticket like "fix the authentication flow" still required someone to search the repository, find the correct files, understand the current implementation, and break everything into smaller tasks. So I...

Google Maps Platform is great, but costs can add up quickly as usage grows. Mapbox is also expensive once you start scaling. TomTom is more affordable, but I found its coverage and POI data lacking in countries like India for the use cases I was b...

I keep going back and forth on this for my own product. Everyone says "free tier = growth engine," but I've also seen founders quietly admit their free users cost more in support tickets and infra than they'll ever convert into paying customers. So I'm curious what actually happened to people here: Did a free tier bring you real paying customers, or just a permanent crowd of freeloaders? If you killed your free plan, what happened to signups and revenue afterward? Is there a ...

There’s so many ways to market the product and win in distribution. Connection. Building in public Online platforms ( cold dms etc ) Go personally to pitch. Ads / launches ( that’s what I do for other brand I make ad and movie ) And any others ideas in your mind ?

A couple of weeks ago, a buddy of mine introduced me to his B2B SaaS. He has a nice product, has real customers who are willing to pay him money for it and his home page is converting visitors into leads at 1.1% conversion. His plan to fix it was a heatmap tool, a landing page builder and an A/B testing subscription that costs more than the product makes in a month. He had a Notion doc with 14 experiments planned and button colors were on the list. I wish I was joking. And look I get why. CRO....

I’m curious how many people have built a SaaS almost entirely with AI (“vibe coding”) and are actually making money from it. I’m not talking about a few dollars or a one-time launch. I mean consistent paying customers and real monthly revenue. Was your SaaS built 100% with AI? What tools did you use? (ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, Lovable, etc.) How much technical knowledge did you have before? How long did it take to get your first paying customer? What was the biggest challenge? It feels ...

In more than 10 years in B2B tech marketing, I've never worked at/with a company that was successful at outbound. I have never seen a well-performing setup created by other people, I never succeeded (despite multiple attempts) to hire the right person or agency to execute the job for me, I've never managed to build a viable motion myself. Everything I saw was a lot of busy-work setting things and the results were a joke compared to the inbound. I now - again -need to start and scale outbound m...

Hey, developers! On a scale from 0-10 how replaced are you?

I've been building a family tree for years and there are not many apps out there. There are the big monopolies and then thousands of small little projects that many people have that are either too elementary to be paid for, or already open source. I've been researching my family tree for over a decade. The market is basically a few monopolies that have won on data, not anything quality. They have DNA databases and decades of acquisitions buying out anything that threatened them. If you look at...

Hi guys, so its my first time building a saas, and its been almost a week or 2 marketing on social media platforms like tiktok, youtube, facebook, instagram, yet I still get 0 traffic to my website. Since its my first time I know I maybe inexperienced in terms of how this actually works but I don't think its normal From the tiktok analytics I see most people leave at around 0:01-0:03 seconds, less then 1 viewing the entire video. The other social medias dont share analytics like tiktok and you...

Recently launched my B2B vertical SaaS, pouring my 20+ years of experience. Started with insta ads and received 140 leads, a lot of appreciation, in conversation with prospects. What freaks me out is the incompetent competitors shamelessly and brazenly asking me for access to draw inspiration so that they can improve their SaaS. A lot of these people may not be able to make it but a few who are lucky could zoom past me. I have not been very lucky in life, I have seen success only in spurts and...

Spent a year and a half building now. with my team, an iPhone bookkeeping app for small business owners. It connects to your bank and cards through Plaid, and AI categorizes transactions, but only auto-applies a category at 95%+ confidence with corroborating evidence, anything less certain goes to a review queue instead of guessing, and your own manual categorization always overrides it. Underneath it's true double-entry accounting, with a full chart of accounts by entity type and industry. Beyo...

Greetings to all who read this post, I was recently reviewing the pricing strategies for several emerging software and platforms. And we all notice the disappearance of the subscription plans of the 5 and 9 dollars per month, The $19 or $29 plan has become the minimum baseline for any micro-SaaS. I think this makes a lot of sense from the founders' point of view; the costs of APIs (especially if the project is based on AI processing), in addition to the fees of payment gateways such as Stripe...

I started an AI interview SaaS in January 2026. It’s bootstrapped and I’m the only person working on it. This month it crossed $10k MRR. Not sure if this even the right way to say it since my pricing is kind of funky. I wish I had a clean “here’s exactly how I did it” playbook, but the growth was pretty messy and more seasonal than I expected. My first customers came from SEO, a few small paid ad experiments, and posting in forums where people were already talking about interviews (think l...

I've been trying to sell for a few months now. The main thing i learned from this whole process is that your first paying customers are already in your network. I tried ads, cold outreach, nothing was working. What worked was a random dm to an old coworker who i thought would like the product for his work

TL;DR I want to just focus on growing my app and optimizing its core functions but I’m also trying to balance adding user functionally requests. I need someone to tell me listening to my current users is more important than acquiring new ones. I feel almost dirty about adding a huge update while I’m experiencing growth? I feel like my application does 3 things really really well because it’s so simple in concept and high-powered under the hood. Anybody who needs more bells and whistles has p...

Not much more than the title. My niche (privacy/utility/developer tools) is pretty averse to subscriptions, and I got that feedback directly from customers. my annual rate is $9.99/yr, so I made the lifetime $24.99/yr. Just 4 sales doubles my lifetime revenue on the first day! I was a little nervous about adding it but lifetime users are my most important users, and my most engaged, so they will help make the app better with more feedback and support requests submitted by /...

Hi everyone, I'm currently architecting an AI SaaS platform for a client, and before we get too far into development, I want to make sure we're making the right deployment decisions. Without going into client-specific details, the platform roughly consists of: Multiple dashboards (Customer, Vendor and Admin) AI assistant/workflow layer Authentication & RBAC Payments Database File uploads Backend APIs Real-time features Future scalability in mind (Attached is a sim...

I built my first SaaS. I am not gonna name it because it’s an honest question here, and I don’t wanna seem like a beggar. It is my own investment philosophy for screening equities and providing research on equities. So it’s in the financial / stock niche. I feel like I am marketing into the void. Not a single free signup in a month. What are some tips for getting attention? I post to X and Insta, but I get no interactions. I tag and use hashtags for keywords, etc., but get one or two views top...

Using Voice to Text, so words might be a bit messed up. I built a skincare app for my wife and I’ve been having serious doubts about the app, but I’ve been posting TikTok’s consistently. Just trying to grow the app and I checked the analytics and I see we got our first sale and honestly like it brought tears of joy when I saw it cause I’m surprised like I didn’t think our apple was even worth checking out. I didn’t think anyone was gonna wanna pay for it. You know it’s pretty much premium like...

What was the biggest mistake you made during the early stages of building your SaaS? Was it choosing the wrong problem, overbuilding features, pricing, marketing, or anything else? And how did you manage to improve your mistake?

Hey guys, I started a website in February, so the domain is really fresh and this are the results from the past 3 months so far. I got already 8mio impressions, is that SEO really that easy or am I just lucky? And how much is something like this worth? This is just google, total visits are 2 times. It is google adsense approved.

I'm a little too excited right now. I've been building small SaaS tools for years, mostly just for myself, and never really thought anyone else would want to pay for them. One of my good buddies kept nudging me to turn one into a web app and just put it out there, so I finally did. One day after launch, someone signed up for a yearly subscription. My first ever paying customer! That said, I'm trying to keep my head on straight. One customer is one datapoint, and it doesn't really tell me much...
