$18k MRR solo SaaS and last month I was sitting at my desk at 11pm emailing myself a spreadsheet. An expense report to my own inbox and that's the moment I realized something was broken or just not it Not the product side because that runs fine but its the everything else. The copy paste invoicing the one by one vendor payments, the Google Sheet I pretended was expense tracking. Every end of month was a full Saturday lost to reconciling stuff my accountant would then ask me to redo anyway. F...

Last week I launched my productivity app on Reddit. I posted it in a giveaway subreddit and offered 50 lifetime licenses and 500 three-month licenses. The post ended up getting more than 20k views and hundreds of comments. Most people were great. One person wasn't. He messaged me saying I had done something wrong because the lifetime offer wasn't clearly mentioned in the post itself. We went back and forth for quite a while. Honestly, by the end of it, I felt completely defeated. Part of m...

Hey all, looking for tactical advice, not validation. I built a B2B SaaS for a niche operations vertical (management platform for a specific type of physical-space business - coworking-adjacent, targeting the GCC: UAE/KSA). It's production-ready: multi-tenant, handles local payments and compliance, the real thing. Built it solo, confident in the product itself. My actual bottleneck: reaching and selling to the owners/decision-makers. I'm fine explaining the product, doing demos, walking some...

I’ve been investing for a while but kept running into the same problem: Too much information, not enough clarity. So I built a simple platform to: - track key data faster - avoid impulsive trades - make decisions more structured Now I’m trying to improve it based on real users. Would love honest feedback: 👉 what’s the biggest pain you have when investing? If anyone wants access, I can share it.

I’m considering building a SaaS. I’ve heard some say SaaS isn’t the future, but I’m not convinced and don’t have strong opinions on it yet. I’d definitely like to hear everyone’s thoughts on SaaS

Quick milestone on Orvia (orvia.live), my no-signup app for private calls, meetings, screen sharing, file sharing and watch-together. Open a link, you're in a room, leave and it's gone. No account, end-to-end encrypted. This year so far: 1.2k active users (+176%) 69k events (+248%) 7m48s average session (+41%) The engagement time is the one that means the most to me. For an app people are supposed to use briefly and leave, 7+ minutes says they're actually doing real things in there...

Hey r/SaaS , I wanted to share a quick breakdown of how I’ve been scaling my web utility platform over the last few months. As you can see from my GA4 dashboard screenshot attached, we just hit 425K active users over the past 30 days, processing 12.7M events , with real-time concurrency consistently floating between 5,000 to 6,500 active users at any given minute. When I started building this, my biggest fear was the infrastructure bill. If every user parsing JSON, minifying code, or con...

I need some honest perspective because I've been spinning on this for months My pattern, almost every day: I wake up, get an idea, research it, look at the competitors, and drop it. Then I do it again the next day. I keep telling myself I'm looking for an idea that's actually scalable and that I can commit to for months, but nothing ever clears that bar. Everything looks saturated, or too small, or like I'd pivot off it in a few weeks anyway. I always feel like this idea is not good en...

Meta Ads are just bot farms now. I don't trust it as much as I used to. I feel like organic is great, but its so saturated now. I'm thinking to just move into YouTube. Demo-ing the SaaS by doing either weekly or bi-weekly IRL use cases. (using it for my own projects) The reason I'm thinking of moving into youtube is because the Buyer Intent on YouTube is just way more higher than on socials. I feel like Social Medias moving into more personal brand type content. Founder, Podcast, etc. ...

email is the task i resent most. i want to wire it once and never open the dashboard again. ​ so my entire criteria for "easiest" is selfish: how fast can i get from signup to a working authenticated sender without reading docs. ​ the tools that lose me instantly: ones that bury SMTP setup, ones that make me hunt for the DKIM records, ones that gate the test send behind a sales call. ​ the ones that win assume i don't want to learn email and do the deli...

Im going to be direct and to the point here. Whichever industry I go into specially in sub-reddits, there is always some dude ( like me ) who is in tech and wants to find out how certain software/hardware solutions that can improve legacy industries like I've been researching onto : real-estate, construction, logistics etc and as soon as they post something relatable ( which isn't some shameless sales plug ) there will be a lot of people from those industry( or claim to be ) who clowns ...

I 've spent the last two years doing positioning work for early-stage B2B SaaS companies. Here's the pattern we kept seeing, and the framework we built to fix it. Mistake 1: Positioning for the category, not the moment Most SaaS companies position against alternatives. "We're like Salesforce but simpler." That's category positioning. What actually drives conversion is trigger-event positioning, what specific moment causes someone to look for your solution? The question ...

Hey all, ​ A few years ago, I launched a beginner SQL course. ​ I created the offer, picked a launch date, made a Google Form for signups, then started reaching out to people I knew. ​ I spent almost the whole night going through my WhatsApp contacts one by one, deciding who might be interested, copy/pasting messages, personalizing them a bit, and sending them manually. ​ The campaign was successful. I managed to sell all seats. ​ Now, I'm ...

Been building a small AI tool for the past few weeks, kinda on the side while still doing my own content stuff. Wasn't even planning on this being the lesson from the build but here we are lol. Early on I was just trying to get a couple people to test it so I started DMing creators and small agency folks asking if they'd hop on a call with me. Maybe 6 or 7 calls in and I noticed literally everyone said some version of the same thing, "I just screenshot whatever's going viral in my niche a...

ok so I've been putting off writing this because it's kind of embarrassing but whatever. two of us, both engineers, been at this thing for 11 months. it actually works, we have it running, it's not one of those "we have a landing page and a dream" situations. and we have exactly zero people paying us. zero. eleven months. what we built, without the pitch: it's software that hooks into security cameras a business already has and tells them when something actually matters is happenin...

I only launched a couple of weeks ago, 55 or so free users and now a paid user already 🙌 I wasn't expecting it just yet

lately with the rise of ai boom and expansion of ai bubble, frontend developer was the one at most risk to loose their jobs to ai which indeed happened as for a ui which could have taken a week to be created by a dev with polishing now took few minutes by claude to generate. But now with hallucinations and ai giving shitty code which is not at all scalable or high token consumption, I am seeing a shift as I am now seeing more frontend openings than backend more companies are now switching back ...

One thing I keep seeing with AI products is that the demo phase hides the real cost structure. At first it is just a few API calls. Then usage grows and suddenly you have realtime user-facing calls, background summaries, evals, enrichment jobs, retries, agent loops, and support tooling all running through the same provider path. Prompt cleanup, caching, and smaller models help, but they still treat all traffic as if it has the same latency and reliability requirements. For people running A...

I have many ideas, and i know most of them are trash, but some ideas may have some potential, so i wanna know how you guys do market research? Like just generally searching on Google, asking AI or something else?

So I officially launched my web app in December 2025. You can see I had $120 in revenue that month. This was all from our waitlisted members. Within 6 months we’ve managed to push to over $1500 in MRR. You see that massive increase in April? We hit $2796 that month. Up until this point we had a 30 day free trial model. On 28 April 2026 we flipped that and switched to a freemium model. With the free trial model, we were scaling fast, but I felt like the business was a leaky bucket (churn was high...

Hi Guys, I am building Afyore, which is basically a platform where good quality affiliates and teams meet your SaaS`s affiliate program and get you sales. But I am now looking forward to doing organic growth of this SaaS, like SEO and Blog for this. But I seriously got no time to write blog posts and stuff! How you people manage to do that? Please share.

Hi, should I invest time in a Product Hunt launch, or skip it and use my time on Hacker News, forums, and direct emails to potential customers instead? A solid PH launch seems to demand a lot of prep and follow-up. But do PH users actually stick around and use the product, or do they just upvote and never look again? I have no SaaS experience, so I'd love your take.

this meme is basically my life now lol I'm pretty introverted. I hate sales, hate sliding into people's DMs, and I get fried jumping between coding, support, marketing, ops all day. For years that was just a hard cap on what I could do solo. honestly the big thing wasn't AI writing better code. it was finally getting the stuff I always avoid off my plate. drafting cold outreach, answering support, turning my messy notes into actual docs, doing research I'd never sit down and do otherwise. ...

Hey everyone, I’m 22 and currently pursuing a B.Tech degree. Due to attendance issues, I got detained and now effectively have around 2 years left before graduation. Instead of wasting these years, I want to use them to build skills that can actually make money. Recently I’ve been seeing a lot of people talking about AI automation services for businesses (using tools like n8n, AI agents, chatbots, workflow automation, lead management, customer support automation, etc.). My goal isn’t to beco...

Hey everyone i am student and just entering into Saas but I confused whether the SaaS I am creating is solving my customer's burning problem or only that they are not likely to pay for it. So suggest me how should I confirm that whether the problems is burning or not.

Hey guys, I thought I share my story because I want to show that for most people the journey is hard and that it takes time to really get going. I structured the post a little to give some good overview. The start (early 2024) I met two guys looking for a developer to build their SaaS idea for marketing agencies. They already ran a successful agency so I figured they knew the problem very well. Over the next 6 months I built it alongside my full-time job. Launch & early traction ...

Hey folks - I am a GTM professional in the SaaS space who's lurking here for a bit. I see a lot of posts about struggling to find users and how to get others interested in your SaaS. I have mostly been at small, unknown SaaS companies selling to the SMB and mid-market in legal, ads, and fintech. I'd be interested in helping founders who could use help with distribution. I'm not interested in cold calling (unless we find something special long term), but I can find the right potential buyers...

Does anyone else feel like modern SaaS products are becoming unbearable lately? Every tool starts cheap, then suddenly: basic features locked behind “pro” 5 different pricing tiers buggy integrations bloated dashboards support takes forever AI slapped onto everything for no reason I swear half my time goes into fighting the software instead of doing actual work. What SaaS annoys you the most right now? [link] [commen...
