Vault is a lightweight, local-first password manager built as a Chrome extension. It stores credentials securely on your device and does not send any data to external servers. All data is encrypted locally using modern Web Crypto APIs, giving users full control over their information at all times. Vault is designed with a strict privacy-first approach: Master password protection is required to access stored data. A key is derived from the master password using PBKDF2 with 100,000 iteration...

guys i built aivideonarrator.com , you paste in a script and it generates a video clip with ai narration. been at it three months, got 31 free users but zero paying and the api costs are killing me. thinking of selling but wanted input first before i decide

forget the generic "welcome series" advice. here's the order i'd actually build them, sorted by dollars. failed-payment recovery first. it's the highest dollar-per-minute thing you'll ever set up, because it recovers revenue you already earned and lost to dead cards. trial-ending second. people decide at the deadline, so a reminder 3 days out converts fence-sitters who'd otherwise lapse by accident. activation nudge third. drives the signups who never reached value, which is the ...

i've launched products before, but this is the first time i'm building something that's genuinely technical. so naturally my first thought was: "i need a waitlist." but then i started wondering... what's the actual point of a waitlist? is it to collect 1,000 emails? or is it to find 20 people who actually have the problem you're trying to solve? the more founders i talk to, the more i feel like waitlists have become a vanity metric. you can spend weeks collecting hundre...

Spent six months developing my product, and 20 years experience wrapped into it. It’s ready to get users on there now but I’m very time poor, I’m expecting it will take a lot of time and effort on all the channels to get noticed, is there anyone who will do this for me; someone that does it professionally? When I launched my first business the first thing I did once I had some income was hire a sales person; they had expertise I didn’t have and it worked. I then essentially kept investing i...

I'm not a technical founder by any means, but I've been in the SaaS space for years and have built and scaled SaaS products. Now I have focused more on consulting for SaaS companies but the one thing I've learned is that marketing is the hardest part. One of the biggest mistakes I see founders make is not building an audience. Post your progress, share what you're learning, and talk to the people who have the pain. By the time you launch, you should already have an audience. The second bigges...

I’ve been thinking about product mascots lately. Not logo mascots, but characters used inside the actual product: onboarding, empty states, error screens, success moments, docs, etc. My take: they can make a SaaS more memorable, but only if they match the brand and don’t feel like a random illustration pack. The hard part is consistency. One pose looks good, then the error state looks like a different character, then the onboarding art has a different style. I’m building around this proble...

Yo, I’m thinking about building a small backend dev tool and I want honest feedback before I waste time building the wrong thing. The idea is kinda boring, but I feel like it could be useful: a Chrome extension that helps backend devs turn API docs into code that actually fits their codebase. So instead of just generating random Express/FastAPI code, it would look at your project structure or a few pasted files and generate code that matches your routes, controllers, services, middleware, er...

I now have 300 free members in telegram group, 1300 followers on thread, and 20 paid customers! I built a quant powered algo trading platform, provides daily stock picks, 3 trading strategies , market analysis and even option courses! 👉🏽algolabhk.com So excited to achieve this result with just 2 month time!

I just wanted to take a moment to genuinely thank everyone in this subreddit and other related communities because your advice, feedback, and shared experiences have helped me more than any course or mentor ever did. You all are the real ones, and I hope to give back as much value as I've received from you.

I was struggling to choose the brand name for my website. First liked a domain, but the name was already taken on Instagram. Tried another, it was taken on YouTube :(. Tired of opening 100s of tabs and switching back and forth, I kept on delaying the process, and finally found the name I was looking for. Felt like a eureka moment, but there was no end to the problems. As the brand name did not sound right in German, I discarded it as I was building a global product. Kept on searching between 100...

Every bit of SaaS advice starts with finding users with a painful problem, and talking to them extensively. But how do you find such a group, without having a precious relationship? And how do you get them to talk to you?

Hi everyone, Any accountant here, looking for feedback on the accounting software video. https://reddit.com/link/1u5qdr9/video/pa7cpupz3a7h1/player

Hi everyone. I'm a truck dispatcher. I built a web app with driver performance tracking and + a lot of very interesting things. Single HTML file, vanilla JS, Google Sheets backend. Two versions: solo operator and fleet. The problem: It's just a static file on cPanel. Anyone can download and use it without paying. No real auth, no database, no way to enforce payment or revoke access. What I need: Paid customers who actually can't pirate it User login + payment verification Access...

Can you tell me how you come up with ideas for your business? Do you use any strategic tools or patterns to find the idea? So, let's say you're looking for an idea for a Micro SaaS. How would you go about doing that? Do you mind telling me how you come up with ideas for your business? Do you use any strategic tools or patterns to find the idea? So, let's say you're looking for an idea for a Micro SaaS. Any idea how to do that? I had a lot of ideas, but I didn't end up bringing them to the ...

This startup spent 7 months trying to grow their waitlist. More posts. More outreach. More landing page tweaks. Nothing. Then we replaced paragraphs of explanation with a 20+37-second visual story. The attached video is what we made. The result wasn't subtle, waitlist sheet exploded. Founders massively underestimate how expensive the confusion is. People can't join a waitlist for something they don't understand. I want to make this happen to every tech founder. My bad ...

Sitting here a bit stunned. Just 10 weeks ago I was refreshing Stripe hoping for one sale. Now there's a small but growing group of people paying every month. CheckVibe is a security scanner for vibecoded apps shipped fast with AI tools. You paste a URL or hook up a GitHub repo and it surfaces what's leaking. Two of us, fully bootstrapped, no funding. We're now at week 10 and we've done about $5k in gross volume, 180+ paying customers, 3.5k signups. Public Stripe link in case anyone's seen t...

So we raised a $4M seed six months ago and right now most of it is sitting in Chase not earning anything. Our CFO flagged it but we keep deprioritizing it for obvious reasons. At our burn rate we have about 18 months of runway and the difference between 0% and 4%+ on $3M is real money. That's 120K beautiful American dollars a year we're basically leaving on the table while we argue about which sales tool to buy next! I wanna hear from other seed and Series A companies and what youre doing w...

most early saas launches dont fail because the launch was bad. they fail because the founder does one big launch, gets like 80 visitors, then just disappears. if i was launching from zero right now this is what i would do instead. week 1 - make the product look real landing page with ONE specific use case, not 10 pricing page, even if its very basic 3 comparison pages. 5 FAQ pages but based on what people actually search founder profile page public changelog 2 demo videos ...

I'm stuck now. Don't know what to do. Don't feel like doing anything either. The building part was fun until it wasn't. Now my SaaS is facing an existential crisis because I don't know how to market it. For context I am making a tool which is supposed to keep the traffic on your site and boost engagement on a website. I am completing big tech who is hellbent on taking away traffic from small websites. It's an entire platform and not just a small tool. Anxiety is through the roof today. I w...

Do we have some really good alternatives for revenue cat?

How do you go about monetizing your app? ​ Do you include a free tier or a free trial? ​ Would users prefer monthly or yearly payment?

There are several answers for this. You decide first if it is B2B or B2C. ​ Both have different path. ​ B2C is mostly viral tricks to gather attention to the app. B2B is connecting with targeted users. ​ Best marketing channel for B2C is Viral Videos. Best marketing channel for B2B is Emails. ​ Happy to listen to what you think. ​ ​

Quick context: I’ve built a field service management app (job tracking, invoicing, quoting for trades), currently in paid beta with a handful of customers. A consultant reached out after a call, offering to take over sales and marketing in exchange for an ongoing percentage of revenue from any new business they bring in, plus a modest upfront setup fee. Before I get into the specifics of their numbers, I’m after a wider gut check: • Is “revenue share for sales/marketing” generally a sound m...

I've been researching a problem that keeps coming up among freelancers and small web agencies: Getting clients to send everything needed before a project starts. Things like: logos images website copy brand assets login credentials The process often ends up scattered across email, Google Drive, chat messages and random documents. I'm building a tool where a designer sends one link, the client uploads everything in a structured way, and the designer can instantly see what's ...

I'm a designer learning to vibe-code. I kept browsing Shopify stores and seeing product pages with nothing but "Blue shirt. Cotton." on products with great photos. So I built Snaplist. You upload a product photo, it generates the full listing: title, description, bullet points, tags, SEO meta. One click pushes it to Shopify. The whole process takes about 30 seconds. Model: Free tier (5 listings/month) and Pro at $19/mo for unlimited. Embedded Shopify app. Is $19/mo right for th...

Just had a chat with some SMBs. Their entire knowledge base setup is just dumping 50+ raw docs into the AI. When a doc gets updated? They don't delete the old one. They just upload the new PDF and literally prompt: "This is the updated version of XXX, ignore the old one." Are people seriously doing this? You're just paying insane API fees to force the model to read conflicting garbage. Is this actually the norm right now? ...
