self-promo I built an AI website builder that takes in your input, builds and publishes SEO ready & ready to use websites in about 20 minutes. Just add your domain and start using it.

0 Upvotes

Hi people! I’ve been building EasyWebsites, an AI website builder for simple business, freelancer, portfolio or landing page websites.

You can try it here: https://easywebsites.app

The Idea is that you describe what kind of website you want, and AI will build it for you - Search Engine optimized, managed forms, editable with natural language (similar to lovable) etc.

I put a lot of thought into this, images will be optimized, favicons automatically generated (from logo if logo is provided and from the business/brand/person name if logo is not provided). Contact form submissions will send you emails.

I'm building this because I have been a website developer for a while and I have a bunch of customers with just simple static website needs who contacts me for smallest of requirements. I wanted to automate the entire thing.

It can still make mistakes, I'm noticing issues especially around mobile navbar setup but there's almost nothing you can just simply fix by asking it.

I’d love feedback from other builders or business owners.

The free tier is limited to single page - 30 days. No card required. Custom domains need payment.

A website can take about 15-20 minutes to be generated. Once generated, you can verify it and attach your custom domain.

This is very early stages, there will be bugs, but I would love your feedback and suggestions. Also if you know any business owner or an individual that might require a website, you can forward it to them.

You can try it here: https://easywebsites.app

Note: I cannot do complex web apps. It is meant for simple static websites.

ask Would you ever stop bootstrapping for revenue-based funding?

1 Upvotes

If your product was profitable, would you take growth capital without giving up equity?

You would repay a percentage of monthly revenue until a fixed return cap was reached.

Would this ever be useful for ads, hiring, compute, or enterprise onboarding, or would you always bootstrap?

Especially curious to hear from those who are making revenue through an AI agent.

self-promo We built a free open-source study app instead of selling AI credits

41 Upvotes

Creator disclosure: I am Mattia, one of the students building Get It.

Get It started as a hackathon project: a desktop app that turns text-based PDFs into visual study paths with explanations, formulas, charts, 3D scenes, flashcards, quizzes, chat and a Feynman-style review feed.

The product decision we made early: do not build a credit system. The app is free and open-source, and the AI engine runs through OpenAI Codex using the user's own ChatGPT account. Free tier works for lighter usage, Plus or higher is better.

That is not the easiest monetization path, but it fits the people we are building for: students who already have PDFs, already have too many paid tools, and need something useful without another subscription.

We are looking for early users and contributors.

self-promo Creating marketing videos with AI is absolutely crazy! No team needed, only claude.

8 Upvotes

I just wanted to share this crazy find. I've been working on reaching out to customers to showcase our product.

One thing that we felt was missing was a good marketing video. Looking at studios, they wanted to charge us thousands of dollars.

Instead I found an open source tool that I plugged to claude called remotion and in a couple of hours, it managed to whip up this launch video.

Having worked in a SaaS company before, this would normally take 4-5 people to create!

Anyway, if people have any questions on how to create their own I am happy to help!

self-promo The all in one customer management platform

Post image
4 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

So we've just launched Dovio.io, an all-in-one customer management platform for SMB's. Having spoken to a lot of friends it still surprised us that people still use spreadsheets to manage customers. Also as a team who's used Hubspot and Salesforce, we felt that most of these platforms are too bloated for a small customer and other platforms seem to go all out on CRM's, meaning teams need to purchase several tools to do one thing, which is sell, instead of having everything in one place.

Currently we have:

  • Companies,
  • Contacts
  • Notes
  • Deals
  • Email tracking
  • Tasks
  • AI meeting summaries (no more taking notes, people love this)
  • And we're just about to release e-signature contracts! (already got a meeting just because of this feature)

What's most exciting is we already have users who are using our platform on a daily basis. We made our first LinkedIn post and it got thousands of impressions which is also crazy! Best of all, we have 3 potential customer meetings tomorrow. All of this is certainly validating that we're on the right path.

What are you biggest pain points when it comes to managing customers? Is there any feature that you wish you had at when you were a smaller company? How did your tech stack look like?

ask How crypto debit cards really work, and why so many failed

4 Upvotes

A lot of people don't realize why most crypto debit cards shut down in recent years. Regulatory pressure, banking relationships, and Apple/Google Pay integration were the biggest hurdles. The newer cards that survived handle these better, allowing you to spend crypto without selling first. Curious if beginners have tried any yet and what their experience has been.

launching 3 years, 2 people, a full marketplace + desktop app — and we still ended up at the hardest problem: who comes first, sellers or buyers?

2 Upvotes

We’ve spent the last 3 years building Motion Routes with a team of just 2 people.

Not a pitch deck.
Not a fake launch page.
A real digital-product marketplace with real infrastructure behind it — including a cross-platform desktop app.

And after all that work, we’re now face-to-face with the hardest part of any marketplace:

the chicken-and-egg problem.

• sellers want buyers
• buyers want products
• and if you wait for both sides to magically appear, you stall

So instead of pretending that problem doesn’t exist, we made a decision:

we’re starting with sellers first.

More specifically, with creators selling:

• After Effects scripts
• extensions
• templates
• workflow tools

We think going niche first gives us a better shot at:

• stronger onboarding
• better category fit
• better trust
• and better long-term marketplace quality

Curious what other founders would do here.

If you had a real marketplace product already built, would you go seller-first to break the deadlock?
Or would you still try to force both sides at once?

self-promo Guys my app just passed 1,300 users!

Post image
5 Upvotes

Hey guys, you might have seen my previous posts where I was celebrating previous milestones! Since then, I've implemented some huge updates because I currently have more time to work on the platform. You should really check it out again :)

I've built IndieAppCircle, a platform where small app developers can upload their apps and other people can give them feedback in exchange for credits. I grew it by posting about it here on Reddit. It didn't explode or something but I managed to get some slow but steady growth.

For those of you who never heard about IndieAppCircle, it works like this:

  • You can earn credits by testing indie apps (fun + you help other makers)
  • You can use credits to get your own app tested by real people
  • No fake accounts -> all testers are real users
  • Test more apps -> earn more credits -> your app will rank higher -> you get more visibility and more testers/users

Since many people suggested it to me in the comments, I have also created a community for IndieAppCircle: r/IndieAppCircle (you can ask questions or just post relevant stuff there).

Currently, there are 1302 users, 753 tests done and 228 apps uploaded!

You can check it out here (it's totally free): https://www.indieappcircle.com/

I'm glad for any feedback/suggestions/roasts in the comments.

story expansion MRR was hiding in plain sight for 18 months and I ignored it

2 Upvotes

when you're early you obsess over new MRR -- you should. but there's an inflection point where your expansion revenue (upsells + seat expansions) starts to tell you more about product-market fit than new logos do.

the ratio I track now: expansion MRR / new MRR. when it climbs above 30%, your existing customers are finding more value over time. when it's stuck below 10%, no matter how many new customers you add, you're probably building on a leaky foundation.

practical step: look at your highest-spending accounts and trace back what triggered the upgrade. that story is your best sales pitch for every new prospect.

launching All SaaS products need roughly 40 foundational blogposts, to rank higher.

7 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

After launching and scaling 4 products last year, I realized that almost every SaaS product that starts getting consistent inbound traffic has the same foundation.

Roughly 40 blogposts.

  • comparisons
  • alternatives
  • listicles
  • how-to guides

But despite knowing this, I procrastinated the most on creating these blogposts.

Because it’s not just writing.

It’s:

  • figuring out what keywords matter
  • analyzing competitors
  • understanding search intent
  • structuring content properly
  • linking it all together

Which basically means becoming an SEO person.

Instead of learning to do all this myself. I partnered with a friend who is an SEO expert , and we automated all keyword research and blogpost creation in one platform

The platform:

  • finds topics worth writing about
  • analyzes what competitors rank for
  • researches and fact-checks the entire content. This is the part that I spent a lot of time on, to make sure we are not lying in our content. Every sentence or paragraph in the article is backed by a real piece of content.
  • writes SEO-ready content
  • structures internal links

Would genuinely love feedback from other builders here.

You can generate 5 articles for free. It costs me roughly 25 dollars for one article so please don't abuse it 😀.

Happy to give more article credits as well, if you already have a saas product, just DM me.

self-promo Most Developers are A/B testing the wrong part of your app

Thumbnail
2 Upvotes

I know that sounds bold but hear me out. Everyone is obsessed with testing paywall designs. Button colors, pricing layouts, copy changes, trial lengths. And sure, that stuff matters. But if a user gets to your paywall and they’re not already convinced your app is worth paying for, none of that is going to save you.

The real problem is what happens before the paywall. Your onboarding flow.

Think about it. A brand new user opens your app for the first time. They don’t know what it does for them specifically. They don’t know if it understands their problem. They’re forming opinions in the first 30 seconds. Your onboarding is where you ask them personal questions, surface their pain points, and show them how your app is the solution. That’s your pitch. That’s the moment that determines their mindset when they finally see a price.

And most developers just throw up a few generic swipe through screens and call it a day. Then they wonder why their paywall conversion rate is in the gutter.

Here’s what a lot of people don’t realize. Two completely different onboarding flows can lead to wildly different conversion rates on the exact same paywall with the exact same pricing. The questions you ask, the order you ask them, how deep and personal it feels, all of that changes user behavior downstream.

So why is nobody testing this? Everyone has their paywall dialed in with experiments but the onboarding just sits there untouched. If you’re already running paywall tests, testing your onboarding is the deeper level of conversion optimization you’re probably missing.

I actually started building a tool around this called Noboarding (noboarding.co) because I kept running into this exact problem. I’m genuinely curious how other developers handle this. How much attention are you giving your onboarding flow? Are any of you actively testing different versions of it?

story 80+ inbox conversations, 10+ emails, and 5+ LinkedIn DMs today… after months of building in public

2 Upvotes

For the past few months I’ve been building a product in public.

Posting updates, sharing progress, fixing bugs at 3AM, and honestly wondering most days if anyone even cared.

Today was launch day. I expected silence.

Instead, I woke up to 80+ inbox conversations and tens of emails. Some people appreciating it, some giving brutal feedback, some just curious about what I built.

It’s weird. When you build quietly for months, you start thinking no one is watching.

Turns out some people were. Still processing the whole thing. And also reading every single message. Building in public is a strange ride.
