Built a tool that tells you exactly what to write next for SEO and how to actually rank. I need your feedback.

Hey folks, I'm building a SaaS to find keyword gaps competitors rank for and you don't, unclaimed keywords nobody's targeting yet, and fixes for pages you already have (quick wins near page one, snippet-ready pages, CTR gaps, pages losing traffic, cannibalization, backlink gaps). Weekly batch of these, one-click draft any of them. I genuinely want your feedback: does this logic hold up, what makes you trust an AI tool like this, and should it stop at surfacing opportunities or actually write...

I think SaaS companies are going to need a new kind of marketing role

I've been thinking about a weird gap in SaaS marketing. You have SEO people optimizing Google. Content people producing articles. Social people managing LinkedIn/X. Community people working Reddit. And now people are tracking whether their company shows up in ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, etc. But who actually owns the whole thing? Because the underlying problem seems to be the same: When someone asks a question related to the problem your company solves, how do you increase the o...

How much friction is actually useful in a focus app?

I’m working on a small focus app and I’ve been looking at different ways apps handle the moment when you hit an app limit and try to open it again. Some apps show a warning, some make you wait, some let you override it, and others are much more strict. If you’ve used focus or app-blocking apps before: What type of interruption has actually made you stop and leave the app? And here’s the part I’m really curious about: Is there any kind of friction or interruption that you wish these app...

AI-native SaaS is growing fast, but retention data tells a different story

Interesting split showing up in this year's B2B SaaS data: AI-native products are growing at multiple times the rate of traditional SaaS, but retention numbers aren't following. Median net revenue retention for AI-native companies is coming in well below traditional SaaS benchmarks, meaning a lot of these products are winning new customers fast but not keeping them. Makes sense when you think about switching costs. A traditional SaaS product gets embedded in workflows over years, hard to rip o...

The problem I had with SaaS free trial abuse (and how I tried to solve it)

I kept running into the same problem while building SaaS products: free trials are supposed to make it easy for real users to try the product, but some people are very good at abusing them. One person can create multiple accounts using different emails, VPNs, proxies, disposable devices, or combinations of different signals and keep getting the same trial over and over. I initially tried solving it with simple things like IP limits and email checks, but they were relatively easy to bypass an...

What would you do differently if you had to start your SaaS again from zero?

For people who have already launched a SaaS: If you had to start again with $0–$500 and build everything as a solo founder, what would you do differently? Would you: ●Validate the problem before writing any code? ●Find your first few potential customers before building? ●Build a very small MVP and launch quickly? ●Focus on one specific niche instead of a broader market? ●Spend more time on sales/marketing than development? I’m especially interested in what actually worked for getti...
