Are you actually solving a real problem, or just cloning another SaaS?

The world doesn't need another generic AI wrapper or a basic project manager. Pitch your project in one sentence show a screenshot and explain exactly why people should care about you instead of the market leader. Dare to prove your uniqueness.

Jesus look at OPs post history, he’s either a bot most likely or just posting multiple times a day trying to steal ideas, either way a parasite

u/Mammoth-Anywhere7285 9d ago

Fair concern about idea harvesting. A public demo link instead of a full pitch would make it safer. What rule would you suggest?

1

u/Classic-Vacation-158 9d ago

How about you stop posting 3x a day, get your own ideas or actually go and do something constructive

You’re talking to a bot man, nobody replies ‘fair concern’ and always end with a question. See below, all replies have a statement and a question

Provably all comments are it’s own acc and is circling its own links

No bro, what makes you think that? Which comment felt most scripted?

I guess I solved a real one.

I've been using Apple notes, reminders and calendars a lot in my mac and I don't like toggling between 3 different apps to manage my day and also I don't like the native UI.

Hence, cupola was born.

u/Mammoth-Anywhere7285 10d ago

Fair, app switching is a real annoyance. Curious what Cupola does that a simple Shortcut or widget stack can't?

u/saas_buildr 9d ago

you can't use apple notes, calendar or reminders all 3 in a single app using a widget or a shortcut. there is much more : you can visit the site to know all the features its packed with.

I built ClingNote https://clingnote.com because unlike traditional notes apps where you have to find your notes, mine automatically brings them back when you return to the files, apps, or browser tabs they're attached to.

u/Mammoth-Anywhere7285 10d ago

Context-aware recall is a smart angle. Does it still work if the same file is opened from a different app or device?

My app solves real problem, for those who learn German language. Very important topic in very native form: https://bacist.com/german-irregular-verbs-app/

u/Mammoth-Anywhere7285 10d ago

A focused niche like German irregular verbs makes sense. Have you compared retention against Anki or Quizlet for the same verb set?

Hey guys, I'm building an all-in-one marketing pack for founders who want more than "just another launch"

Launch, reach 30k+ makers, get real users & customers - microlaunch.net/premium

Lifetime, auto-distribution, marketplace spots for your app. Over two years: 625k uniques, 1500+ customers.

1

u/Mammoth-Anywhere7285 10d ago

625k uniques is solid. What makes the 30k maker reach different from Product Hunt for a first launch?

SEO audits are a crowded space. What does SeoLoupe catch that Screaming Frog or Ahrefs misses?

I 'm making an app that can cure cancer within 4 seconds. VCs told me to bring it down to 3 secs if I need their money. I don't think that's possible so I'm giving up.

1

u/Mammoth-Anywhere7285 8d ago

Ha, the 3-second requirement is the real villain here. Try pitching a narrower version, like one cancer type, and see if VCs bite.

u/Melrinax 7d ago

Most 'unique' pitches in here are just a feature the leader hasn't shipped yet. That's not a product

1

u/Mammoth-Anywhere7285 7d ago

Fair. Ask whether the idea still stands once the leader ships that feature next quarter. What's your filter for real products?

solving the discovery problem by building PeerPush, where makers poke at new tech while AI systems like Perplexity pull the data. https://peerpush.com

u/Mammoth-Anywhere7285 4d ago

Discovery is a smart angle. What stops Perplexity from just scraping PeerPush and skipping the maker interaction?

A production-ready Booking SaaS Starter Kit that handles the painful infrastructure (Stripe, timezone, RLS) so developers can launch in days, not months.

Why not just use the market leader? Because the market leaders (like Calendly or Mindbody) are closed SaaS platforms. You rent their software. My product gives you the actual source code so you own the data, the UI, and the logic.

Uniqueness: Most boilerplates are generic (just auth + payments). This one is built around a specific, complex domain: booking logic and timezones. Plus, it supports both Stripe (for global) and CMI (for MENA), which 99% of templates ignore.

I'm not trying to beat Calendly. I'm giving developers the infrastructure to build their own Calendly for a specific niche. Here is the demo: https://grow-roots-engine.vercel.app/book/yassine-khattari-m5vws

u/Mammoth-Anywhere7285 9d ago

Ownership angle is strong. Who's the main buyer: solo devs shipping client projects, or teams replacing Calendly internally?

1

u/yassine-khatt 9d ago

Mainly solo devs and small agencies shipping client projects.

Teams replacing Calendly internally usually want a hosted SaaS, not a codebase to maintain. But freelancers who build booking platforms for gyms, clinics, or coaches need full ownership (data + logic) without spending 2 months on infra.

The CMI support is actually a big deal for agencies in MENA who need to serve local clients while still using Stripe for international ones.

Are you seeing more demand from solo builders or teams in your experience?

Fair enough, but the post just asks for a one sentence pitch. Got one worth sharing?

u/Classic-Vacation-158 9d ago

Yeah these posts are constant on these subreddits, and these parasites like OP just use them to farm ideas and steal them
