I’m building an app for an Instagram professional account using the official Meta Instagram API and the newer Instagram Login flow, and I’m trying to receive real inbound DM webhooks. The issue is that real DMs are not producing inbound message webhooks. The only real webhook events I receive are seen/read-type events, usually when the conversation is opened or viewed. However, when I use the Test / Send to server function in the Meta dashboard, the webhook does arrive correctly. So the beha...

"I've made 3K in just 3 days after launching" "I have 1K of users in just a week, $0 spent on marketing" and so on. Every single day, the same message. Everyone is bragging only about how much money they made and how many users they had in not time. Nobody is bragging that they helped people to solve a serious problem. Nobody is bragging that they made someone a bit more happier, or less busy. Nobody is bragging about their app doing something really useful. Why...

We’re planning outbound for a small SaaS and may need 20–30 inboxes. Maildoso is one of the managed options we’re considering alongside Google Workspace. Has anyone used a similar setup? How was the deliverability, maintenance and support as you scaled?

I built PlugThis, an AI builder that turns a plain English description into a working Chrome extension, with everything the Chrome Web Store needs: listing text, permission justifications, privacy policy, promo images. Launched on Product Hunt last week. Real numbers: - #1 for 18 hours, lost it in the final 5, finished #3 - 558 upvotes, 122 comments - 2,100 visits from 97 countries in week one - Two weeks later: 660 registered users, around 50 paying What actually worked: Two...

I run a small side project and I'm constantly hopping between Stripe, Vercel, GitHub and Supabase dashboards just to answer "how is my project doing today?" Genuinely curious how others handle this: Do you just live with the tab-hopping? Built your own dashboard? Use a paid tool? And if you tried a tool did you stick with it or drop it?

There are a lot of barely functional nations with weak digitisation and awful state capacity. Even the UK has basically worked out it cannot afford to give people ID cards, which is kind of nuts. The majority of nations need to deliver a core set of functions around passports, identity documents, tax collection, elections, social security administration, driving licenses, referenda, public tenders, departmental accounting, audits. It seems with AI, the capability gap is likely to get far worse, ...

Helllo, Has anyone got recommendations for freelancers or companies that do qualit SaaS demo videos. I have one currently but its quite basic and want a quality one to really show off the product. Any suggestions

A few weeks ago, PlaceWise was just an idea. Today, it's being used by people across 11+ countries, and seeing people I've never met use something I built is an incredible feeling. Some milestones I'm really proud of: 🌍 Users from 11+ countries 📈 1,000+ unique visitors 📄 450+ AI-powered resume reviews A huge thank you to everyone who's tried PlaceWise, shared it, or sent feedback. Every bit of support has helped shape the product. This is only the beginning. My goal is to make Plac...

Building the CRM was the easy 80%. The last 20%, actually making WhatsApp behave, is where I lost weeks. Sharing the specific landmines because every one of them cost me real debugging time, and if you're building anything on the WhatsApp Business API you will hit these. "Sent" is a lie. Meta's API happily returns sent and then fails to deliver the message. sent is not proof of anything. Only a delivered/read webhook means it actually landed. I built delivery-gated logic on sent e...

I'm starting to do more AI consulting and realized there doesn't seem to be an equivalent of the standard "website handoff." If I build someone a web app, it's obvious what they get. I.e. source code, deployment docs, credentials, maybe monitoring. But if I build an AI feature, what should I actually leave the client with? Obviously the prompts and source code. But should they also get the eval dataset? Automated regression tests? Access to traces? Monitoring dashboards? Documentat...

Hey guys, I want some feedback man. Made this video using Remotion and Kiro IDE, it sure took a while but here it is. What do you guys think? the script and motions, are they good enough to even start? Never tried editing and never hired a motion designer so i am totally new to this so guys please just lemme know. Thanks tho

We are building software for financial services and taxes. One of our customers has requested a whitelabel arrangement. The situation is as follows: Our current B2C pricing is approximately 50, - The actual cost to us per client is around 100, so we are currently selling at 50 to build traction. - The customer intends to resell the whitelabel version at around 250. - They prefer a flat fee per client rather than a commission or revenue share. - We are in the same industry, which means ...

Ten days ago, I posted here about being stuck on distribution. That post reached around 14k views and received 112 comments. One decision I’ve made since then is not to launch on Product Hunt yet. A launch might create a short spike in traffic, but I’m not sure it would teach me much while the positioning, onboarding and ideal customer are still being tested. Instead, I’m trying a few channels manually first. I chose X because founders, marketers and paid-ad people already discuss these ...

I finally made my first app. This was a journey trying to figure out how everything worked. I started a computer science major in 2006, but never finished. Here I am 20 years later with my first windows application! It's an all in one finance, tracking, logging, simulating app. I worked for a long time tweaking the simulations to mimic the stock market as closely as possible. I got tired of spreadsheet updates every month, so I use the heck out of this thing. Any feedback would be appreciated. ...

AI coding tools are getting really good, but I keep wondering if the bigger opportunity is after the product is built. Imagine an AI that knows everything about your startup: Your analytics User feedback Roadmap Support conversations Revenue Marketing performance GitHub activity If it had all of that context, what’s the one question you’d ask it every single day? For example: “What should I focus on today?” “Why are users dropping off?” “What’s the biggest risk right now?” “What’...

I feel like the internal conversation always starts in the wrong place. Someone sees a decent demo and the room starts acting like the problem is basically solved because the model can speak well enough. Then the actual operator questions show up. Can it answer using the real catalog. Can it stay current. Can it recover when no product is an exact match. Can it stop itself when the answer should escalate. Can it handle edge-case product questions without sounding confident and wrong. Can a...

I read that if someone pays for your SaaS from another country, you may have to collect and pay taxes in that country, and in some cases, you might even need to register a business entity there. Any tips when starting out?

So a client of mine calls me up a few weeks ago and asks: "Hey, can we add a button to our dashboard that just auto-generates short promo videos from our product feed?" I said "sure, shouldn't be hard" without thinking. Big mistake. Realized right after hanging up that I had zero clue how to programmatically generate actual video from static product images and text without renting some monstrous GPU cloud. Turns out, I was overthinking it. I didn't need to render anything...

Hey guys, new to this sub and new to the reddit in general. Any advice for the pre-revenue pre-success solo tech founder here on how to take the most out of this subreddit? P.S. And maybe can recommend other subs worth joining?

Hi everyone, Earlier this year, I vibe coded a LinkedIn Automation tool from scratch, with zero engineering background, simply using Claude, Claude code and vercel. I won’t go into details as to how/why I created it as I’ve already shared this before many times, but one of the questions I get asked the most is about distribution, and how I attract customers, so I thought it might be useful to share this info. Before you even build something though, take the below into account; 1. You ...

I am a founder of five-pos.com I promised myself I won't spend another month adding features but I still did... But coming week I've made promise to myself saying that I'm visiting local businesses to see if anyone will actually willing to use my saas system My goal is to get my first 10 real users. If you've gone from 0→10 customers, what would you do differently? If you own a business or have experience with Saas, I'd really appreciate brutally honest feedback. submitted b...

90% of my traffic comes from blog articles that aren’t really related to my product, and i’m not sure what to do with them. should I delete them, and/or replace them with more relevant articles, or just ignore them? The articles do fit into the same broader category, but the readers are basically 100% not potential buyers. For example (just to get the point clear), I’m targeting homeowners, while one article might answer a question that only renters would search for. So it’s pretty 100% that t...

Hey r/SaaS , I've got access to a decent pile of older but perfectly usable x86 servers/hardware (think lots of cores, decent RAM, storage the kind of stuff you can pick up cheap these days). It's reliable enough for production workloads and I can scale it out quite a bit without burning cash on cloud bills. I'm looking for inspiration on what SaaS product I should build that actually takes advantage of having "a lot" of on-prem-style compute, they are DC hosted professionally m...

Hey everyone, am here to ask some genuine advice from docterpreneuer’s or from people who have already made a successful saas or have experience in this thing. To begin, I don’t know nothing about saas, but still i thought to give it a try because of the potential in this thing. To be honest , i know nothing about how to code, or what is coding, or frontend or backend or anything. But still am here doing this thing and after a month of getting to know what front end and backend means , i made a ...

Every few years we invent a new productivity metric. First it was lines of code. Then story points. Then pull requests. Now it’s AI tokens. They’re fine for engineering, but none of them answer the only question that matters: Did the customer get more value? What’s your favorite “looks impressive, means almost nothing” metric?

What’s the Typical Website Traffic for a New SaaS Startup? I’m curious what “normal” looks like for a newly launched SaaS startup.
