«“The market didn’t kill my projects. I did by running out of energy before they ever reached it.”»

Do you ever burn out before you’ve even really tested your project? I recently realized something pretty frustrating: The market isn’t what kills most of my projects.Most of them don’t even make it that far. I’m one of those people who always has a bunch of ideas. Some bad, some maybe good. And every now and then, one feels interesting enough that I think: OK, I’m actually going to test this one. So I start building. I’m a developer by background, so building the product itself usually isn’t...

I almost killed my product too early

I built AutoCuts (autocuts.ai) as a web-based AI studio for screen recording and video editing. It didn’t get traction. So I gave up. Two months later, I got a bill from where the app was hosted. I logged in to see what was still running and noticed something I wasn’t expecting: Hundreds of people had signed up and created projects. But almost all have submitted very constructive feedback: The app was not working properly as a web app. It was very hard to edit large videos, and ...

We need a Boardy for distribution

Not an openclaw of some kind. Not AI agent that posts your business everywhere cos that could immediately become spam. The concept is a distribution matchmaker: it understands a business/ app/ company, identifies communities where the business genuinely belongs, negotiates or verifies permissions where needed, creates community-native posts/ contents based on what the business needs, whether its product announcement, validation, testing etc, and measures whether those placements produce results...

Disclosure: founder. I've spent a year building drop-in auth and user management from Denmark (EU-hosted, free tier). Will you give it a critical look?

I've spent the past year building Torii ( https://toriiauth.eu ) from Odense, Denmark. Login and user management where the integration is meant to be the easy part, in React, it's one provider and one component, and sessions are handled for you. What I am searching for in this post is critical feedback on the DX. How easy is the Quickstart to follow? What would make you rule out Torii immediately? Are there any EU-specific auth pains (national eIDs, compliance workflows) I should prioritize? ...

I think AI SaaS pricing is getting unnecessarily complicated

Maybe it's just me, but I'm starting to find some AI SaaS pricing pages ridiculous. You used to see something like "$49 per user per month" and immediately understand what you were getting. Now it's $49/month, but you get 2,000 credits. Some AI actions cost more than others, there's an overage fee, certain models aren't included, and apparently I need to understand your entire pricing architecture before I can figure out my monthly bill. I mean I understand why companies are doing ...

Need help in marketing my SaaS

Hi all, so I made a SaaS with which I can spinoff an ai based chatbot for a clients website within an hour. As usual like my other projects I really can’t find a way to sell it or find modes of selling it. Can someone please help or advise me on this.

What Problem Are You Still Solving Manually?

SaaS founders who are already running a business: What’s one repetitive problem you still have to solve manually every week? I’m especially interested in problems around: Marketing Customer acquisition Content Sales Website conversion How are you solving it today, and roughly how much time does it take each week? I’m researching real problems before building anything, so honest answers are much more useful than feature ideas. What’s the one task you wish you could just make disa...

How do you guys actually decide which feature request worth building?

I keep thinking about this because customers can ask for the same thing, but that doesn't always mean it's the right thing to build. Like sometimes one customer asks for something and it sounds like a great idea to build in the saas but then you look at it again and realize they might actually be trying to solve a completely different problem. And then there's also another side where you get 10–20 people asking for something, so it feels obvious that you should build it, but maybe those peop...

Why is it so hard to sell software to construction/trade audiences?

Trying to figure out why it's so hard to get traction with a specific audience: construction subs and tradespeople. Built something genuinely free, no card, no signup even needed to try the basic version, walk away anytime if it doesn't help, aimed at a real financial problem they deal with constantly. Not selling anything, not asking for money. I think the real issue isn't the product. It's that this exact audience has been burned so many times by "tech bros" cold pitching website...

I figured out a loophole to remove Claude watermark WITHOUT rephrasing

I've been curious whether you can kill an Claude's text watermark just by editing (not "rewriting/rephrasing") what it wrote. And so I built a Claude/OpenAI/Gemini text-watermark generator plus a detector and threw a bunch of attacks at gpt-oss-20b and Qwen outputs to find out. The technique relies on the famous Tournament Sampling built upon standard Gumbel-max sampling. It turns out almost everything people assume works, doesn't. Swapping em-dashes for hyphens, stripping markdown, ...

I’m hooked on Peak Design’s new City bags

It's just a hook, sewn into a bag, but I really, really like it. Peak Design is so proud of its clever integration that the San Francisco-based maker of camera gear gave it a name: BagLev, for its ability to keep its new City Line of bags levitated above the dirty ground. How many of […]
