I do product marketing for a living, and I keep seeing the same pattern. AI has created a new problem: everyone is building. We are seeing thousands of apps solving problems that nobody cares enough about. Before building the full product, speak to the people you believe have the problem. Don’t pitch your idea. Don’t ask whether they would use it. Ask about what they already do: When did this problem last happen? How are you solving it today? What have you tried, and what frus...

Hey guys, so I'm running a B2B SaaS API platform where we charge a base monthly subscription in addition to tiered usage rates for extra API calls. Also, I have certain custom volume discounts for our larger clients. Point is, it's been a mess and the setup I'm using for QBO is falling apart. I'm looking at AR platforms like Chargebee / LedgerUp / Kolleno but I've no experience in them. Open to any recommendations, thanks. [link] [comme...

A friend of mine runs a paid online community. A couple of years ago, she raised the annual price from around $199 to $399. The first group of users renewed at a rate below 70%. Six months later, renewals increased to around 85%. The content itself did not suddenly become twice as good. What changed was the delivery. Before, members joined the community and had to browse through hundreds of posts to find something useful. Later, she started selecting the three to five most valuable pos...

Hey guys, I finally shipped my first SaaS application. It's a wedding planner application in Europe. Why I decided to build the application because I faced some planning issues in my wedding and couldn't find an app that would cover all the hassles that usually come with wedding planning. So the app creates animated wedding invitations. It allows you to track your expenses and budgets. It has task management so you can see what's going on, check the tasks, understand the progress, etc. etc....

Been building AI products for a living, 20+ of them over the last 3 years, grew the team to 6 of us now. And the pattern that keeps showing up isn't the one in the headlines. Most companies play on the fear driven marketing « Ai will replace you »… It’s a tale as old as time. also pitch decks right now are some version of "replace your (.insert job) » but most of those products are dying, (or at least wait until VC money dries up and they can’t raise again) because the customer doesn't ...

I am a serial builder and it’s a problem. I ship something, it works, and the next week I’m on to something new. I am sure a lot of you can relate to that excitement of building something from scratch. So I’ll obsess over every detail before launch: what new features should I add, what would be exciting for people, should this be centered or left aligned or… And then I’ll launch, get that initial burst of users, and tbh never think about it again. Maintenance work is not that fun: I don’t wan...

Artificial intelligence is transforming how software is built, but it is also creating new operational challenges for engineering teams. As AI coding assistants generate larger portions of production code, organizations are looking beyond code generation itself and focusing on how to verify, monitor, and safely deploy those changes. ClickHouse and Hud are addressing that shift through a new partnership that combines observability with runtime intelligence. By integrating ClickHouse's Clic...

Here is a system I built using Gemini's Google Workspace extensions (Docs, Sheets, and Gmail) to run a automated news service. It tracks what you have read so you don't get duplicates, keeps a doc of your preferences, emails you short summaries, and generates a detailed Google Doc formatted specifically for Google NotebookLM to turn into a daily audio overview. Basically my goal was to bring back the Google Discovery thing with the AI host giving the daily news (which I'm stiff upset about the...
