14 days ago, I launched my SaaS.
14 days ago, I launched my SaaS.
I knew building the product would be difficult.
I didn't realize getting people to discover it would be even harder.
So far:
• My site is getting close to 300 Google Search impressions per day.
• I'm improving the product every day based on feedback.
• I'm learning SEO, marketing, and distribution as I go.
It's a marathon, but I'm enjoying the journey.
I'm curious...
What's been the biggest challenge in your SaaS journey?
• Getting your first users?
• Marketing?
• SEO?
• Finding product-market fit?
• Building too many features?
• Something else?
I'd genuinely love to hear your story. Maybe we can all learn something from each other's experiences.

SaaS Journey 60+ users and 975+ posts published, still pre-revenue. Here is my read on it, and I would like feedback.
Honest SaaS journey update, and genuinely asking the community what you would do. SocialMate is a social media scheduler and creator OS.
Where it is now:
1. A little over 60 users and 975+ posts published through the platform.
2. Over 2,000 visitors and 3,000+ page views in the last 30 days, all organic, zero ads.
3. A single-day high of 295 visitors, up from around 146 last month.
4. Traffic from Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, and ChatGPT, which has been sending people for a while now.
5. I also just redesigned every landing page to make the whole thing read more professional, which I am hoping helps signups convert better.
The honest part: still pre-revenue. Pro is 5 dollars a month, competitors charge 18 to 99 for less, and people are signing up and actually using it. Getting users has been going well. Getting paying users is the next milestone. My read is that the product is solid and the traffic is real, and the thing I am weakest at is the part after signup, getting someone to see enough value to put down 5 dollars. I can build anything, but I would rather stay on building and hand growth to someone who specializes in it.
What I would like feedback on:
1. At 60+ users and pre-revenue, would you focus on feedback and activation, or just more acquisition? Doesn't really cost me anything atm for sustainability.
2. For a 5 dollar tool against 18 to 99 dollar incumbents, does the low price help, or does it signal low value? I feel almost on par, if not better. Should I charge more? Am I seen as too cheap so therefore slop?
3. Did a landing page redesign ever move the needle for anyone here, or is that time better spent elsewhere at this stage?
I run this solo, nights and weekends around a tree service day job, so I am trying to spend my limited hours on the right thing. Real feedback welcome.

SaaS Journey Realistically, how did you get your first 10-50 users?And scaled on?(And what’s your niche?)
Hey everyone,
Trying to figure out early traction and noticing that advice changes like crazy depending on what you're actually building. What works for a dev tool obviously won't work for an HR platform.
If you’ve already crossed that first milestone, how did you actually pull it off?
Curious to know:
What niche are you in?
What was the exact channel that actually brought in your first users? (Cold email, Reddit, Product Hunt, etc.)
Would love to hear some real stories.
Thanks in advance!

FeedBack Appkittie charged me $97 five minutes after I started a free trial. Watch out
Just a warning for anyone looking at Appkittie (app intelligence / ASO tool), because they're really good at telling you they're the best on the market, but the way they get people to pay is borderline dirty.
I started a 3-day trial for their $97/month plan, which unlocks all the features (I have the screenshot). So I go to try the screenshot generator. It says: "this is a premium feature." Since I can tell the app is vibe-coded, I figure they just left that there and that I'm premium anyway (since I'm on a premium trial). I click ok. BOOM, charged.
NO CONFIRMATION, NOTHING. Since I went through Link/Stripe, my payment details were already loaded and there you go…
I disputed within 20 minutes with Link, they didn't want to hear it. In their refusal email, Stripe literally apologizes "for the fact that your subscription was charged directly without you receiving any notification about the payment" — and refuses the refund in that same email, saying I'd been "duly informed." So thanks, they wash their hands of it and tell me to go see my bank. And ZERO email from AppKittie. They don't exist (go look).
I tried a chargeback. My bank's card provider (Swan) only handles fraud, not commercial disputes. So there you have it, I paid $97 for 3 generated screenshots…
While I'm at it: exactly like all their competitors, their app MRR estimates are wrong (I have apps on the App Store, and I know my own apps' MRR — trust me, I WISH the numbers shown on Appkittie were the real ones!)
I just went back to their site and it looks like they've removed the trial… For now.
I really think it's a shame to have to go as far as making a Reddit post, but it's "thanks to" (because of?) Reddit that I wanted to try Appkittie in the first place. So… maybe they'll read this? Anyway, watch out.

FeedBack Struggle to Succeed
I’ve built plenty of SAAS projects and have noticed this pattern:
- Coming up with ideas is pretty easy
- Building the project is relatively simple
- Marketing your MVP is terribly hard, especially with a budget of $0.
I create all my marketing videos myself and it takes hours to crank out just a 30 second high quality product. I post and these get views, but not even traction on my SAAS. Is there a specific niche/idea I need to use, and are there any specific marketing tactics that work the best for you? I don’t know what I’m doing wrong and I’m putting all my effort into trying to sell my product. Any tips or personal anecdotes would be greatly appreciated 🥹

FeedBack Prediction Market Credit Score
Hey everyone. I recently built a website called Pickfolio, and I’d love to get some honest feedback from people who are into sports, predictions, and hot takes.
The main idea is that every take you post is attached to a personal credit score that changes based on how accurate you’ve been over time. Instead of predictions disappearing after the game ends, you build a visible track record.
You can post game picks, player props, rankings, bold takes, season predictions, upset calls, and pretty much any sports opinion. Other people can agree with a take, discuss it, or fade it if they think it’s wrong; it creates more of a conversation than just posting a pick and moving on.
This can also be just a place for independent analysis with a credit score attached by your side.
The goal is to make sports takes more accountable and easier to compare over time. If someone has a high credit score, it means their predictions have consistently held up, not just that they got one lucky call right. It also creates an additional layer of accountability where anything a user outputs has a number beside their profile holding them accountable.
It’s free to try, and I’m still actively building it, so I’d genuinely appreciate any feedback, good or bad. If something is confusing, missing, or could be better, please let me know.

My first project
Hey everyone,
I'd like to share my first solo vibe coding project with you: a photography studio simulation.
It’s primarily designed for photographers, but also for anyone who loves experimenting with photos for social media, product photography, and the like.
I built it using three different tools. I started off writing the code in Google AI Studio. Initially, the idea was to build a type of camera app, and it did a great job. In the meantime, I wanted to try out Claude code, and it was the one that "talked me into" turning it into a website, which seemed like a solid idea.
Right in the middle of development, I got banned by Anthropic and received a refund for supposedly violating their rules. I’m not even sure what I violated, and I suspect it was a mistake—but they refunded my money and banned my account, so I can't even use the free version anymore. After that, I decided to switch to Codex, finished everything up there, and this is the result I’m sharing with you today.
I'd love to hear your thoughts! Also, if anyone is up for it, feel free to send me your before-and-after photos so I can gather more examples of how it performs.
If the project does well, I’d like to upgrade it with software that integrates directly with a DSLR camera, along with options for lens selection and other gear.
I'm absolutely open to constructive criticism, too. This is my first time doing something like this, and I just sort of stumbled into it, so every comment means a lot.
I've learned so much about vibe coding through this whole process, and I highly recommend everyone give it a shot by starting small, just like I did.
Welcome to the studio - link in comment.

FeedBack MultiPrototype - One prompt. 10 prototypes from 10 models. Ship the winner.
Hi everyone,
Give the same prompt to Grok, Claude, GPT, and Gemini when you're building a new app or feature, and you'll get very different features, copy, UX, branding, and visuals. That variety is genuinely useful — but with most AI builders like Lovable, you can't easily switch models and compare, so you're locked into one direction from the start.
So I built MultiPrototype.ai. You can generate 2–10 versions of a website, app, or feature — each from a different AI model — and see them side by side on a canvas. Compare them, edit them, then export the code to Codex, Claude Code, or whatever you use.
Here's an example: a social media analytics dashboard built by Claude, GPT, Grok, and Gemini:
https://multiprototype.ai/share/project/P84w6P4yfRDc2VVzvG4fAzZUK4i_QFKd/canvas
A few details:
- Around 20 models to choose from
- Model names are hidden by default so you stay unbiased — reveal them when you're ready
- A leaderboard ranking models by user votes (coming soon)
I believe that starting from 2–10 quality perspectives instead of one gets you to a better product, faster.
Free accounts get 6 generations. Would love any feedback.
Thank you.

Shorten links, make QR codes, get detailed stats. Free Business account for Redditors
I've been using a home-made link shortener for my private clients for over 10 years. After millions of clicks, it occurred to me that others might use it, too, if it was easy to use.
If you’re drowning in long, messy links full of tracking junk, wb.io can be a super clean fix. To get the ball rolling, I'm offering Redditors a month of the Business level service for free with the coupon code REDDIT. All I ask in return is your honest appraisal of where it could be improved.
It turns bulky URLs into short, shareable links that actually look good in posts and comments. Way easier to drop into Reddit threads, DMs, bios, or anywhere character count and readability matter. No wall of random parameters, no visual clutter — just a tight link that people are more likely to click.
Biggest value prop IMO:
Cleaner posts (especially on Reddit where ugly links stand out)
Easier sharing across platforms
Device-specific forwarding: send Apple users one way, Android a different way, everybody else a third way
More professional look
Simple + fast, no overcomplicated dashboard vibes
If you share links often, it’s one of those small tools that just makes everything smoother.

Drop your SaaS idea and I'll turn it into a sourced market report + PRD - free
I built a tool that takes an idea and gets you to the point where you can actually start building.
What comes out:
- Deep-dive market analysis: market sizing, competitors, consumer psychology, academic evidence, pricing, financial model, GTM, risk scenarios. Every figure has a source link.
- PRD + feature specs: what to build, why, in what order.
.cursorrules+CLAUDE.mddrop into Cursor or Claude Code and start on the MVP.
The goal is connecting idea to MVP fast, with documents that hold up. An agent for after you launch is in the works too - tracks actuals against the plan, hands you tasks, asks for proof. (Not shipped yet).
What makes it different: Most validation tools spit out "your idea scores 73/100," but whoever built it picked those weights and you can't check them. So I dropped scores entirely. The model writes the prose, it doesn't invent the numbers - every figure gets pulled from a source and locked before the writeup. You make the call.
To get one, comment with all five:
- What the idea is (specific beats a one-liner)
- Who it's for
- Top 2-3 core features
- How it makes money (subscription, one-time, freemium, commission, ads - or whatever you're considering)
- Market or region
Only running the ones with all five - thin input, thin report.
You'll get read-only links to the PRD and the deep analysis. The feature specs and build files aren't something I can hand over in a comment - those you get by running it yourself, and there's a free tier for that.
It's my own tool. Running it only on my own ideas doesn't show me what's missing

FeedBack Why I Build The Website Before The Client Pays
I’ve been in contact with a lot of web agencies and web developers, and I personally haven’t found many people who run their agency in a more efficient way than I do. A lot of them have too many meetings, wait too long for client approval, don’t know how to price projects, and spend way too much time on each client instead of finishing the work and moving on to the next one.
I’ve been running my agency for four years, and after a lot of trial and error, I’ve managed to make the process as efficient as possible. I wanted to share some of the steps because I think they could be valuable for anyone just starting out.
Running a web agency alone or with a partner isn’t easy because there are a lot of things to take care of. When it comes to client acquisition, I recommend focusing on either cold calling or email automation. Which one you choose depends on whether you run the agency alone or with someone else.
If you have a partner, one person can handle sales while the other focuses on building websites, connecting domains, setting up emails, and taking care of the technical work. If you’re running the agency alone, or neither of you enjoys cold calling, I highly recommend email automation.
That’s what I’ve been doing for years. It’s powerful because you can send emails at scale, set up automatic follow ups, and wait for businesses interested in a new website to reply. While you’re working on one client, another opportunity can come in without you having to stop everything and search manually.
I don’t do regular email automation where I target businesses with no website. I do the opposite and target businesses that already have one.
I use a tool called Swokei to find businesses with websites, add them to campaigns, analyze each site, score it, and generate personalized outreach emails based on problems it finds with the design, layout, speed, SEO, and mobile optimization.I schedule the campaign, set up follow ups, and wait.
I think this approach is much better for a few reasons. You’re targeting someone who already understands the value of having a website. You’re also not just asking whether they need a redesign. You’re pointing out real problems with their current site, which makes it clear that you actually took the time to look at it. Selling also becomes easier because they’ve already paid for a website before and understand the process.
Inside Swokei, you can choose the goal of the campaign. You can offer a free draft, try to book a meeting, or simply start a conversation. I always choose the free draft because that has worked best for me.
Once you’ve figured out how to get clients, the next part is building the website. I recommend using AI because it makes the process much faster. For anyone who still thinks AI can’t build great websites, I think they’re mistaken. You can use Claude, Base44, Lovable, or any other tool that works for you.
When someone replies interested, I call them and say, “Hey, I saw that you replied to my email. I’ve already built you a free draft of your website. Do you want to take a look?”
Then I invite them to a Google Meet.
At that point, it becomes much harder for them to reject the meeting because they already replied interested and now know you’ve built something for them. During the meeting, I present the website, explain why it’s better than their current one, stack the value, answer their questions, and try to close the deal.
These meetings usually go well because the client isn’t trying to imagine what the website might look like. They can already see a better version of their current site. They also took the time to join the meeting, so taking the next step becomes much easier.
I either take payment during the meeting or send them a contract to sign. Any changes and updates come after that, once we already have a deal in place.
Pricing depends on the business. I charge anywhere from $500 to $3,000 depending on the company, the size of the project, and how much value the website can bring them. I also charge a monthly retainer of around $50 for hosting, maintenance, support, SEO, and future changes.
That’s basically the entire process. Smaller steps, faster delivery, less wasted time, and more money made.

honorearned.comI had this idea to create a free veteran benefits site that shows veterans every benefit they're eligible for based on a few non invasive questions.
I went ahead and created a foundational site, it caught a ton of traction and hit 180,000 active users in the first month of launching and now I've turned this project into a new goal of becoming a one stop shop for all veterans, we've now created a mapping feature that in its final stage will show veterans every business in their area that offers military discounts within a 35 mile radius.
Its been a great experience so far that has helped a ton of veterans!

Build In Public Klaat Code just crossed 200 GitHub stars. Thanks, everyone!
Just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has starred, tested, contributed, or shared Klaat Code.
We recently crossed 200 GitHub stars, which is a huge milestone for an open-source project.
Alongside the release, we also published our benchmark comparing Klaat Code with other CLI coding agents using the same prompts, the same verification commands, and the same evaluation harness.
Some results:
* Klaat Code: 33/33 tasks solved — $0.89
* Claude Code: 33/33 — $4.83
* Composer 2.5: 33/33 — ~$1.54
* opencode: 31/33 — ~$1.47
Everything is open source, including the benchmark, so anyone can inspect the methodology, reproduce the results, or benchmark another agent.
If you’re interested in AI coding agents, we’d love your feedback—or even better, contributions.
GitHub: github.com/klaatai/klaatcode
Thanks again to everyone who’s helped us reach this milestone. 🚀
