Hey everyone, I’m a technical founder and product architect. I’ve built a B2B infrastructure tool that addresses a massive, costly issue: unpredictable server and infrastructure crashes that cost enterprise companies millions in downtime. The product is ready, validated, and running on my machine. It’s ready for deployment. But here is my dilemma: I am a pure tech and product guy. I don't have a massive corporate network, and trying to do cold outreach or spamming people on LinkedIn feel...

I trying to learn as much as possible for my SAAS startup. I was focused on frontend only, Now I realized backend and database is much more imp than that. I came across some apps like superbase and firebase and wanted to know which one works best and if I set up any of these would they able to handle my complete backend or I have to use some others things as well. As of now if they cover my MVP that would be enough for me, later on we can scale and build a proper in house backend. I would love t...

Hey everyone! Just a college student wondering how difficult is it to get to $10k MRR, I definitely it's hard, but is it impossible? For those that did it what separates the startups that don't do shit and those who get to $10+K MRR or anywhere near that? Thanks!

Trying to sanity-check our AI budget as a small team and figure out what "normal" even is right now. For other founders: do you run a fixed AI budget or subscribe-and-measure, roughly what's the monthly number, and what's driving most of it? Do you have a set way to determine whether a n LLM or AI tool subscription is worth subscribing to?

Hey everyone, I have 6 years of software development experience and frequently use AI coding tools. Often, the output I get is production ready. Because of my experience, I know exactly what to accept and what to reject from AI generated code. It's usually good sometimes even better than what I would write myself. I give my junior devs tasks with explicit instructions on what to do and how to use AI coding tools, but the output they get is often terrible and almost never production ready. ...

Nothing wrong with vibecoding. My own SaaS is 90% vibecoded. The problem isn't that the code is messy and messy code makes money every day. The problem is the AI writes the feature and never writes the guard around the feature. I found that out the hard way on my own app: I could pull my own users' data from a logged-out browser. Fixing that whole class of bug is what got me my internship, and since then I've torn through a LOT of apps built on Cursor, Lovable, Bolt, Rork, Claude , all of it. ...

Hey everyone! Hope all is well. TL;DR Below Context: One of the projects I've been working on is a Windows AI workspace called Core48aii. The idea came from a problem I kept running into while using ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and other AI tools for larger projects. Once conversations became long, important instructions were buried, useful outputs disappeared into old chats, and I found myself rebuilding the same context over and over. So I built a project workspace that lets me ...

A few weeks ago, I started building Lifto , a video-first product discovery platform where founders showcase their products through short demo reels instead of static screenshots. Today we reached our first milestone: 🎉 100 registered founders 🎥 55 demo reels uploaded ❤️ Hundreds of interactions across the platform It might not sound like much compared to huge startups, but getting the first 100 users taught me a lot. A few things that surprised me: 1. Building was easier t...

I work full time as a software developer, and for a while now I’ve been building Lumea on the side, it’s a burn-after-reading file sharing app, sends files at full original quality (no compression like WhatsApp does), auto-deletes after viewing or download, password protected links, expiring links. No revenue yet, still early, focused on organic growth and getting real feedback before I think about monetizing anything. The problem is I only have so many hours after work, and I feel like the pr...

I'm building a bootstrapped EdTech SaaS and I'm trying to keep my infrastructure at $0 for as long as possible . Originally my stack was: Supabase Vercel I recently switched to: Turso (8 GB free database, no credit card) WorkOS (authentication) Resend (3,000 emails/month free, no physical address required) Cloudflare Pages (hosting) Cloudflare Workers (Edge API) The main reason was to avoid running into free-tier limits too quickly while keeping the stack s...

Launching a SaaS is exciting. Getting people to actually find it is the hard part. When I launched my first product, I kept seeing advice like: "Submit to Product Hunt." "Post on Hacker News." "Share on Reddit." Those are all good suggestions. But after those, I had no idea where else to list my product. So I started researching every startup directory, AI tool directory, SaaS directory, launch platform, and software listing site I could find. ...

I launched my app on Product Hunt today with zero audience. 8 hours 30 minutes later: - Ranked #28 - Zero comments - Zero real interaction - 10 visits from Product Hunt - Zero installs Honestly, I expected it to be quiet, but not this quiet. Everyone says the same thing before a Product Hunt launch: - Build followers first. - Prepare people. - Get support ready. - Be active there before launch day. I heard all of that, but I still wanted to launch cold just to see what ...

General purpose illustration tools like adobe illustrator or affinity have a great amount of flexibility but come at the cost of complexity that isn't needed for a logo design tool. So i trimmed down the fat to a minimal set of 10 tools acting on a logo grid, and when combined together makes it easy to build quite a surprising variety of logos pretty fast. It exports as clean SVG and various other formats as well. Appreciate your feedback: iconicity.cc

When you say " habit tracker" here, everyone lands on the same stuff. Saturated niche, vibe coded, slop, "not another one." The list is long. The main idea is always the same. Don't build another one. Well, I built one anyway. It was something I wanted for myself. The idea was to replace Notion with something that looks better and has habits built in. It ended up mostly a habit tracker with a bunch of extra features. From December to now (July) I made €3,158 total. It's ...

One thread I posted here last week got me 13 paying customers in about 5 days. But this thread only got 3 upvotes. Top comments called me a snakeoil seller and said I made up my customers. 39k views, mostly "nice try buddy". I just kept replying. Stayed calm, answered everyone, even asked the ones roasting me what they'd actually want to see. And the whole time it was quietly outselling everything else I'd posted. My guess is the people buying were the quiet ones watching how I...

I've built a 6-figure portfolio of micro SaaS through acquisitions. I'm very transparent with my numbers and recently recorded a 30 min deep dive into the economics of my most successful acquisition. The video covers a lot and there are many lessons that can be learnt, especially for developers building "nice to have" micro SaaS that they hope to sell one day. Since the video is longer than Reddit's 15 min limit, I couldn't upload it directly. View the deep dive here: https://ww...

Been building a SaaS that touches Instagram, WhatsApp, and Google Business Profile for small businesses. Honestly thought the engineering would be the hard part. Turns out getting approved to actually use these platforms took just as long. Meta rejected my app review once because my screen recording didn't match exactly what I was requesting access for, small mismatch but enough to bounce the whole submission. Google's Business Profile API approval was its own headache too, barely any real doc...

Building is the easy part. Getting people to notice your product is still hard, so I made a tool to help with that. Normally you'd pay an agency a fortune for product videos, or grind through learning After Effects. Raylight does it in the browser: animate text, shapes and product shots on a timeline, tune the easing, export. No install. Super easy to use. The clip above was made in it in ~1 hour. Also, you can use it as a template for your SaaS.

I’m launching my first SaaS in 2 days, and I’m both excited and nervous. For those who’ve launched before, what’s the one thing I should definitely do and one mistake I should avoid? Any tips or lessons learned would be greatly appreciated.

Wtf is going in this sub man ? Again everyone has started promoting their saas? Bruh I don't wanna see your vibecoded project . Mods pls do something 🙏

Hi r/Saas Genuine question; now that tools like Bolt, Lovable, Cursor, and Claude can literally spit out a functional app from a single prompt, are starter kits and boilerplates even relevant anymore? Or are they completely obsolete? Personally, I feel like they actually matter more now. AI is insane at churning out code fast, but it doesn't intuitively know how you want your auth, payments, or database structured unless you feed it instructions every single time. Without a so...

RIP SaaS. My company is now an agentic AI startup. For months my feed has been nothing but agentic, autonomous, Claude, MCP-native AI workforces replacing entire sales teams. I told myself I wouldn't give in. I'd just keep shipping and let the product speak for itself. Then I saw an 11y-old raise $9M off a Canva mockup for an " agentic sales operating agent ". I broke. I'm human. Everyone on Reddit and LinkedIn was doing it. So we rebuilt our SaaS as an agentic GTM AI startup...

It’s interesting how many SaaS products are basically solving: Task management Communication Automation Data tracking But the real difference is how they approach the user experience and workflow. Feels like the competition is less about “what it does” and more about “how it feels to use.”

When GummySearch announced it was shutting down, I remember that a lot of people were asking similar questions. Mainly “What’s the best alternative?” It actually made me realise something recently. I think we’ve accidentally built Reddit research around tools instead of around a process. The value isn’t so much in the tool but rather in the UNDERSTANDING of what customers were actually saying. Hear me out here. My current thinking looks something like this: Layer 1: Collect the co...

Link : https://easeassign.com/ I launched EaseAssign about a week ago after noticing that many students and freshers struggle to find small freelance work without competing against experienced freelancers. The idea is simple: People post small tasks. Others complete them and earn money. Today I got my first paid requests on the platform and saw users actually completing tasks. Revenue is only around $3, but seeing strangers use something I built feels like a much bigger milestone. ...

It's been a little over eight months since I launched and it has been quite a journey. No exponential growth or huge user spikes but rather slow and steady growth. But in my opinion that is the best for building something actually valuable because you can react to user feedback along the way and constantly keep improving the app. I've almost completely stopped marketing at about 3000 users because I don't have a lot of time currently and growth has slowed down quite a bit but it's ok for me as...

Provide Google login: The majority of people wouldn't create an account otherwise. Charge immediately: Stay away from free trials. Paid users = serious users. Launching is the start not the end: Post-launch is 4/5 marketing, 1/5 product. Promote shamelessly: Plug in your product everywhere, not just where it's "safe". Value the unsubscribers: They're giving you the most valuable input. Use your own product as much as you can: You'll find bugs your users haven't rep...

Running a funded company. Doing $300K ARR now want to scale, looking for channels that can helps us scale. Anyone explored X ads here? Would love to hear how ti performed and anything that can help me learn on X Ads.
