Been doing social for about 4 years now, started on Buffer back in like 2022 when it was basically the default. Recently went down a rabbit hole testing a bunch of schedulers because my current setup felt outdated and I wanted to see what changed. Sharing what I found in case it helps someone else. Buffer is still the cleanest UI of the bunch honestly. Super simple, great for solo creators or small brands posting to 3-4 platforms. The free plan is generous. Downside is it feels frozen in time,...

I've been building KuberAgent , a privacy-first website with 128+ free browser-based tools for PDF, Images, Video & Audio. Current GSC (last 28 days): • 633 impressions • 33 clicks • 5.2% CTR I'm already working on: SEO blog content FAQs & Schema Internal linking Backlinks If this were your website, what would you focus on next to reach 10K+ monthly Google impressions? I'd really appreciate any honest SEO advice or ideas.

I finally finished building my SaaS after spending a lot of time on it, and I'm honestly happy with how it turned out. The problem is marketing. I've been posting videos on TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts, but they barely get any views. It feels like I'm shouting into the void. I don't have a big budget for ads, so I'm trying to grow organically. I'd really appreciate any advice or strategies that worked for you. Thanks! 🙏 [l...

Rate this vid, Did we cook or got cooked?? Honest feedbacks are appreciated..(waiting to get roasted)

I have been programming for 30 years. I read here and elsewhere about AI slop coding, vibe coding and them being all bad that they should all be thrown away, rewritten. I use coding agents every day. They write all my code. I do not think vibe-coded SaaS apps are automatically doomed. The problem is who is driving the agent. The code can be bad even when each file looks plausible. The UI works, the demo looks real, and there are routes, components, migrations, and auth screens. Then you ...

Lately, I've been thinking about this a lot. Whenever I try to think of startup ideas, it feels like every obvious problem has already been solved. But then I come across startups solving problems I didn't even know existed. For example, I recently saw "Sampark" on Shark Tank India - a simple QR tag for your car that lets someone contact you if you've parked incorrectly, without revealing your phone number. Such a small problem, but once you see it, it feels incredibly obvious. ...

As the title says, I won’t try fool you. I’ve literally just joined here, but whilst I start looking through the posts and comments. I’ll throw out what actually brought me to the sub in the first place. I’m looking for all tools, users and services that want to, or in the profession of helping start ups , founders and entrepreneurs. Let’s discuss what’s going on, pain points, bottlenecks, pro/cons. What’s your niche, I’m assuming promotion isn’t allowed which is fine, but we can all tal...

Hey everyone, My company is currently in the middle of our cap table cleanup and figuring out how to grant options to our 6 international employees (UK, Germany, Singapore, India, Australia, Brazil), all on a delaware-style ISO plan which our lawyer says is causing tax problems in basically every country. I'm hearing about country sub-plans, phantom equity, growth shares, or moving everyone to NSOs and letting them eat the tax. What are people actually doing, because US lawyers, UK lawyers, a...

Hey all, So basically, in the last few months, I've spent my time building my product and completely forgot about marketing. Now my product is finished, and I have no audience to launch to. No followers on X or LinkedIn, and no community waiting for the release. I'm sure I'm not the first founder to end up in this situation. For those who've been here before, what worked best for you? If you had to start from zero today, how would you get your first 100–1,000 users? I'd really apprecia...

I recently started posting on X, and honestly it feels like shouting into the void. I'm trying to figure out what actually works for people who have managed to build an audience. Do you: Schedule posts and just stay consistent? Spend time every day replying to other people's posts? DM people? Or is there something else that made the biggest difference? Specifically, I'm wondering whether it's worth blocking out 30–60 minutes every day just to find relevant posts and leave thoug...

This week has been a real turning point for my little app. It got its first 2 B2B customers. I did outreach to them, so I spent a few hours on that, but now there is also a direct channel of communication to gather more insight from their perspective. This is just the start!

I usually spend all my time building, so this week I forced myself to stop and only do marketing. First time doing that. Wanted to share the actual numbers in case it's useful to anyone in the same spot. What I did over 7 days: Cold DMed around 100 people on X and Reddit. I'd search for people talking about the problem my product solves and message them directly. Tedious, but this is where most of the conversations (and I think the paying users) came from. Made 4 Reddit posts that did abou...

recently i watched a video about supabase and it showed some points like security, unexpected pricing, and control so are you still using supabase and planning to continue using it?

One way to keep your customers hooked to your application, business or platform is telling them exactly what’s new with your business. This is why I built https://patchlog.io Patchlog is a simple changelog widget that can be implemented on any web application in under 5 minutes as it’s just a simple script tag. Your users deserve to know that hot new feature that you just released to keep them loyal to your business! [link] [co...

I’m a founder building vertical software for an underserved niche. Last month, I got my first paying customer at $100 MRR. This month has been harder. Facebook is bringing in more qualified leads, but a lot of them ask for new features before committing. The frustrating part is that I can build some of these features in a day or two, but then the lead often disappears or never comes back. I’m starting to think I need to switch to card-gated trials so people have more commitment before I buil...

This is a 100% vibe-coded product. I'm not a dev and know nothing about coding. I just have lots of ideas and love building stuff. It was also my third attempt. First attempt: productivity tool The beginning of my vibe coding experience. I genuinely thought it will magically gonna be a hit lol. Second attempt: AI image generator Basically an AI wrapper. I work as a digital marketer, so I tried to build around my domain expertise. But I went too deep, solving a problem that only a...

idk how to actually get huge traffic apart from a few posts on reddit, like getting the business actually rolling

The most painful lesson I’ve learned running a SaaS: The $9/month customer will send 15 support tickets a day, demand a custom roadmap, and charge back if the app takes 2 seconds to load. The $39/month customer will put in their credit card, use the product quietly, and never send a single email. If you are stuck in low-tier support hell and struggling to survive, this is your sign: Double your prices today. Change my mind. [link...

ciao a tutti sono un ragazzo di 16 anni e vengo dall' Italia. a scuola vado male, non mi piace studiare diciamo che passo il tempo ad allenarmi o a studiare linguaggi di programmazione, ma sono piuttosto scarso , conosco a malapena HTML e CSS appena li finisco vorrei fare JavaScript per poi prima possibile pubblicare qualche mini saas , adesso ho finito di studiare dato che è arrivata l'estate voglio dedicarmi pienamente a diventare un indieHacker voglio fuggire dalla vita di tutti i giorni e no...

I've got the idea, I've got the skills to execute it. what I'm completely lost on is distribution. like how do people actually find your thing? I just genuinely don't know how to get in front of people who'd actually use it and I want to do it in organic way. did you cold outreach? post every relevant subreddit? build in public on twitter? find niche communities? I honestly don't even know where to start. what worked for you when you were starting from zero, no audience, no budget, no conn...

Bit of a personal one but I feel like people here will get it. So I have almost finished my masters degree at LSE and everyone kind of expected me to go get a normal grad job. I just… didn’t (the job market is shite). Instead, coming off the back of my research, I’d gotten obsessed with this problem instead, if you sell anything to hospitals (devices, meds, whatever), you have to check like 4–5 different government websites every single day to find tenders. TED Europa, SAM.gov, WHO, NHS. All di...

I've been wondering whether SEO is still worth prioritizing for a new SaaS in 2026. With AI search growing, Google answering more queries directly, and more people discovering products through Reddit, YouTube, LinkedIn, and AI assistants, it feels like the landscape has changed. If you were launching a SaaS today with a limited budget, would SEO still be one of your main acquisition channels, or would you focus elsewhere? I'd love to hear from founders who've launched recently. What's actu...

Heyy, so we're about to launch this week. Mvp is almost ready, and was working on the launch video and landing page.. How should we promote it next?? How to get it to people's hand??

Hey Founders! I've got a genuine question. We obsess over systems for our startups. okrs, sprints, metrics, feedback loops, the whole thing. but like... what about our actual lives?? I've been thinking about this a lot lately. Energy management, deep work, personal goals, relationship and many more things that we need to do during the process of building some product. All of it kind of falls apart the moment the startup gets intense. I'm researching whether a Life OS built specifically for...

Everybody is shipping MCP servers or in-app copilots these days, and I'm trying to figure out if this is actually moving the needle or still mostly experimental. For those of you who've shipped something like this: what happened in practice? Did you see anything on conversion, activation, retention, support volume, or deal size? Or was it more of a checkbox feature users barely touch? Also curious about the stuff you didn't expect. What went better than you thought, and what turned into a ...

i will not promote. this is the opinion i wish someone had forced on me two years ago. if you're an engineer, your product is not your problem. your problem is that building feels safe and marketing feels like rejection, so you hide in the code. i spent 3 months building something i was actually proud of. clean, solved a real problem i had. i shipped it and told basically no one. i'd open the dashboard, see zero, and tell myself it just needed one more feature. it didn't. it needed me to go ...

The title speaks for itself. After developing an MVP, I want to see if there is any actual demand for the problem I am trying to solve. However, how could people trust me and my product since I am just a tech guy, not related to the industry I’m selling to? Why would they spend $500 a month on a random guy? I’m just trying to verify if there is traction and was wondering if there is any way to verify it without finding a cofounder from the industry.

It's an exciting challenge, and I'm looking forward to learning as much as possible throughout the process. If you've built a micro-SaaS before (or have any advice for someone just getting started), I'd love to hear it. Any tips, lessons learned, or mistakes to avoid are more than welcome.

I keep adding features and improvements to my product before launch. I know I should just launch but my product is a niche simulation engine and i feel it needs to be properly explained and polished and benchmarked for it to have credibility (meaning users). Looking to hear about any mvp and how minimal it was.
