After months of averaging 1-2 users per day, one tiny change suddenly brought us 400+ users

My husband and I launched Glance (a full year calendar app, synced with Google) back in April 2025. Growth has been a lot slower than we had hoped, but we haven't spent any money on ads and are only able to dedicate a few hours per week as it's "only" a side project and we're working full-time jobs. Over the past few months we finally got to the point where we were consistently picking up around 1-2 new users a day organically. It wasn't exactly something to write home about, but aft...

We built a salon booking SaaS, but we’re questioning whether the problem is painful enough. What would you change?

My cofounder and I are building a booking SaaS for salons and beauty businesses in Bahrain. The product lets customers book through a dedicated salon link, while the business manages appointments, services, staff and availability in one place. The product works. The harder part has been convincing businesses to change what they already do. We’ve spoken to a lot of local salons. Some already use booking software. Some are mostly walk-ins. But many still manage appointments using Wh...

I made long tasks call your phone the second they finish or get stuck, so you stop babysitting them. 100 signups in 2 weeks.

The itch that made me build this: you start something that takes a while, a big export, a long build, a migration, and then you're trapped. Either you babysit the screen doing nothing for 20 minutes, or you walk away and come back to find it stalled an hour ago waiting on one decision you never saw. So I built Call Me. The moment the job finishes, or the second it's blocked and needs your call, your actual phone rings. A voice tells you what happened, you answer out loud with what to do next, ...

Built an app where you take a photo of any uk property and it tells you what it’s on sale for.

My wife and I love looking at house prices. Every time we walked past a for sale sign we'd stop and look the house up, so I built an app for it. You take a photo of any UK property and it tells you what it's on sale for, or when it last sold and for how much, without having to search for it all yourself. Just a faster way, I thought. Feel like some people might like to use it too, unless me and my wife are just a bit strange, I dunno. It's called PicAHome, it's on the App Store now if anyone...

I built a free project tracker (Gantt + Kanban) with AI – no login, no install, just open and use

I wanted a simple project tracker that just works — no setup, no account, no subscription. So I built ProjectFlow with AI assistance. Just open the link and start working. What it does: Gantt chart with drag-to-resize tasks Kanban board (To Do / In Progress / Review / Done) Team management Excel import/export Turkish & English support Works offline The AI part: I used Claude to help build and iterate the whole thing. It was a genuinely collaborative process. 👉 ht...

I built BetaTok, a community based NSFW feed where the clips are censored in real time

I built an NSFW scroller app that lets you explore plenty of users and tags on Reddit or X, but with several twists * Split view with up to 6 screens for viewing multiple clips at once coupled with voice notes over clips, captions, and cool effects like hypnosis spirals, hearts, and twinkle stars. * An easy to use community based browser editor to create censored edits of clips to share on the feed, with community upvotes. * It can auto-censor nudity in real time as you scroll, with optio...

I built a free open source Descript alternative that edits podcasts on-device

Descript costs $24/mo, so I built this over a single weekend with Fable! Introducing Rescript: edit videos by simply editing the transcript text. Drop in a video and it is transcribed locally with per-word timestamps and speaker labels. Delete words in the transcript and the corresponding clip is cut from the video. Runs fully on your device: Local, free, offline and open source. → Github https://github.com/wassgha/rescript → App https://getrescript.com submitted by &#32...

AI made building my SaaS easier. It didn't solve the hardest problem! This is the reality!

X/Twitter makes building a SaaS look a lot easier than it actually is. You constantly see posts like: And yeah, technically, the math checks out 😂 But here's a snapshot of my SaaS. Most of the emails in my database are: me spam/test accounts friends The funny thing is that building the product isn't really the hard part anymore. With AI coding tools, I can build features insanely fast. Getting people to actually discover the product, trust it, try it, and eventuall...

Someone copied my product wholesale: landing pages, pricing page, UX, documentation. What are my options?

I started building out my product 5 years ago and did the #buildinpublic thing, sharing my monthly revenue. Immediately a bunch of competitors sprang up, all of them low fidelity copies. I did not worry about them too much. Unfortunately AI has changed the game for copycats too. You can point your agent at a landing page or product and it will actually make a decent duplicate. Most of my copycats have diverged into their own directions, which is fine by me. However one has diligently co...

I got my first organic user 12 days after launch!

I'm happy to share with this sub, I woke up today and see my SaaS admin panel: 1 users, my first user has registered! I have just used Facebook and Reddit to promote my platform! I has been working in my SaaS in my spare time (aside my 9-5 job) since 2 years ago, but the idea was on my mind since my college days almost 10 years ago. I would like to tank you guys for the inspiration in this sub.

lemonsqueezie scammed me for my Saas

Hi, I'm an indie dev who released a chrome extension (adds a couple action buttons to a site that otherwise is poorly designed and has hidden links, etc by manipulating the css of existing buttons) I have roughly 100 users and decided to add a premium "feature" so i found LemonSqueezy. Took me a while to setup their api that morning which was a pain, however upon release i managed to sell a couple subscriptions fairly quickly, however on my lemon squeezy account i noticed a paypa...

Built a tiny AI sidehustle stack for under 30 bucks a month and now I am scared it actually works

I run a small digital tools consultancy between shifts at the cafe. Mostly I help solo creators glue together cheap SaaS stuff. A few months back I threw together my own workflow - some scraper I found on GitHub, a cheap Claude subscription, a nocode database, all held together with Zapier duct tape. Total monthly burn is like 27 dollars. It now handles client onboarding, drafts my proposals, and spits out pretty decent competitor teardowns. I have done maybe four hours of handson work this we...

Reddit is rolling out AI moderators for new communities, how long until every subreddit has one?

I’ve been posting about AI-related stuff for a while now and honestly, the more I see it being pushed everywhere, the more I think we need proper regulation around it. Not just “hey, we have AI now, let’s put it into everything”. And now Reddit is going down that road too. Like... seriously, wtf is going on? I get that moderation is a pain and AI can probably help with some of it. But this is always how it starts. First it’s there to “assist” people, then little by little it ends up maki...

Why is there no “App Store” for independent AI agents yet?

One thing that surprised me is that the barrier to entry is dropping much faster than I expected. There are now plenty of "vibe coding" or low-code platforms that let you connect models, tools, memory, and workflows without writing a huge amount of code. Almost anyone can build a useful agent. But then another question came up. if I build a killer agent that automates a complex workflow? Now what? How do people discover it? How do I deploy it without maintaining a bunch of infra...
