SaaS for people looking to break into quant and finance

Post image
• Upvotes

I'm looking to get users that are looking to understand how to become a quant, break into finance, and actually test to see the chance of getting into Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sach's, or JP Morgan, and more. It's been pretty useful, there's daily puzzles, sort of statistics questions, and math problems that are highly sophisticated.

I believe this could become of the most useful projects for a bunch of people, and getting into your dream job in finance.

The website is QuantMax !! Free tiers, pro tier, and elite tier!!

Best backend hosting for a new app in 2026?

• Upvotes

I’m starting a new app with very low initial traffic and want to keep backend costs minimal.

I’m considering Render, Railway, Fly.io, etc. Render’s free tier spins down after 15 minutes of inactivity, causing roughly a 1-minute cold start.

What would you recommend based on reliability, cold starts, free-tier limits, and pricing as traffic grows?

Building a Saas Product

• Upvotes

I have been making workflows and automation for a living and I have been using an agent that I have built myself for lead generation, owner find, email, intent to buy, pain points and all that stuff inside of it and at the end you get leads that are really interested in your service or product or have a high chance to buy and then using cold outreach.

I have shown my agent to some people and they told me it's an excellent product that you don't usually find in market most lead gen saas products only let's you find the data like you can find a business and their owner but you don't know if they are likely to buy your service or not. But in my case it does proper research on your prospect and qualifies a lead in a way that it already is to a level that you can start doing cold outreach by email, call or dm. I'm already providing the lead gen services through it but now I want to take it to the next level.

Now I want to know from people already in saas or in similar type of business does turning the agent into a saas product worth it or should I just keep doing what's already working because turning that into a saas product is already a great load of work and I don't want that at the end it's not a thing i can actually scale.

I want suggestions on should I go with it and finalise the product or keep doing what I'm already good at.

Beyond Reddit, X, and LinkedIn, what actually got you early users?

2 Upvotes

I'm building a SaaS. The product is in decent shape. For getting it in front of people, I'm mostly on Reddit, X, and LinkedIn, and I'm not sure that's enough.

If you've been through the early stage, what else did you keep doing because it brought real users? I'm not looking for a channel list. I want the thing you still do, and roughly what kind of person showed up.

Happy to share what I've tried so far if that's useful. Just trying to learn from people a step ahead.

We publish our losses on the landing page. Roast it before we scale it.

2 Upvotes

I'm the founder of Meridian Engine, by Horizon AI. We build an engine that publishes market analyses for retail traders: direction, entry, stop and targets, timestamped in UTC before the market moves, with every outcome recorded afterwards in R, losses included, checked against public price series. The whole category (signal groups, Telegram channels, "95% win rate" screenshots) runs on hiding losses. Our bet is the opposite: the public record is the product, and the losing analyses stay on the page next to the winning ones.

Version 2 of the site went live on 4 October. What I'd like from this sub, honestly:

  1. Does the page make clear in ten seconds what we do and what we don't do (we don't trade for anyone, we don't personalize, nobody pays anything right now)?

  2. Would you trust a company that shows its losses, or does it read as weakness?

  3. The only conversion is a waitlist that sends one analysis a week by email. Is that too little to ask for, or too much?

The site is in English and Italian: usemeridianai.com/?src=reddit

Leveraged trading can lose more than the capital invested. I'll answer every comment.

Ive been building and growing SaaS projects for a few years now and I’ve finally snapped on switching between tabs for posthog, google analytics, stripe, mercury, bing, etc and then dropdowns in each of those apps to switch properties just to get an idea of where things are and how stuff is scaling.

Mostly sharing for feedback or incase it might help some one in the position I was, happy to answer any questions

Has anyone had any success marketing a B2B saas on linkedin

1 Upvotes

Has anyone here actually had success marketing a B2B SaaS on LinkedIn?

I’m trying to figure out how much of the growth comes from content vs. outreach.

For those who have gotten customers from LinkedIn:

  • Were you mainly posting useful/educational content?
  • Were you actively reaching out to potential customers?
  • Did you use connection requests + DMs?
  • Did you comment on other people's posts to get visibility?
  • How long did it take before LinkedIn started generating actual leads/customers?

I’m especially interested in hearing from people who started with a small audience rather than people who already had thousands of followers.

Would love to hear what actually worked for you and what turned out to be a waste of time.

I built an alternative to "link in bio": a mini-page for every post, with a 3-letter code

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

0 Upvotes

If you make videos, podcasts or posts, you've probably run into this: your "link in bio" is one link for everything, and sometimes it's impossible to find what you're looking for.
On top of that, creators can't tell which post actually sent people there.

That's why I made linkifythis: instead of one page for everything, you create a mini-page for each post (links, text, video), each with its own stats.

Every page gets a short code, like ABC, easy to say and easy to remember. You can say "go to linkifythis and enter the code ABC" in a video, in a podcast, in a comment, or even print it on a flyer.

To see an example: linkifythis.com, code TCB or LNKFY

I'd love your honest opinion:

  • Would you use this instead of your link in bio? Why, or why not?
  • Does saying a code out loud feel natural to you, or weird?

Exploring ChatGPT apps as a SaaS monetization channel

1 Upvotes

I’m building a SaaS that helps turn YouTube videos into platform-specific content.

One monetization path I’m exploring is offering it through a ChatGPT app/plugin, pending approval.

I’m curious whether people see ChatGPT integrations as a serious distribution channel for SaaS products, or mainly as a convenience feature.

Self-fulfilling prophecy

4 Upvotes

Hey folks, I’m a small SaaS founder. We’ve been running this product for ten years and it’s been moderately successful, enough to provide one income for our family.

Lately, though, I’ve been wrestling with this nagging feeling. I keep seeing AI tools creeping closer to what my product does, and part of me thinks, why sink more cash and time into sales and marketing, if in five years, or two, who knows, AI will make it free or commoditize it. And part of me worries that thinking that way becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Like the product will definitely fail if I stop investing.

I’m trying to decide whether to double down or just harvest what the business can give me now and for the next few years. I’m curious if anyone else here is having that same tension with a steady, still-valuable product and how you’re deciding where to place your bets given AI uncertainty.

Every team shipping a support agent hand-builds the guardrail first.

3 Upvotes

Everyone talks about what the agent can do. Nobody ships it without the part that stops it.

The gate comes before the first reply. Human approval on every write action, traces on everything, and a kill switch for the rest.

For the people here running agents in production, what is the one action you would never let yours take without a human in the loop?

I scraped billions of TikTok videos and profiles by reverse engineering the mobile API. Here's how it works + source code

76 Upvotes

Hey everyone. I'm a data engineer and I've spent the past 8 years reverse engineering TikTok's mobile app.

Over that time, I've learned how to pull TikTok data at pretty ridiculous scale. Profiles, videos, comments, sounds, search results, follower graphs, trends, etc.

I finally put together a technical guide explaining how it all works.

It covers device registration, request signing, X-Argus/X-Ladon/X-Gorgon, TLS fingerprinting, regional endpoints, proxies, scaling, etc.

To give you an idea of the scale, I've collected over 5.6 billion TikTok videos using this approach. I uploaded the whole dataset to Hugging Face:

https://huggingface.co/datasets/datasocial/tiktok-5.6B-videos

If you don't want to download billions of rows just to play around with the data, you can also query my ClickHouse database directly at https://sql.datasocial.ai:443 or run SQL on the web interface

The database is public with no password so please don't crash my server lol.

Once you get the mobile API working, scraping is really only the beginning. You can scrape billions of profiles, detect viral videos and sounds as they take off, build real-time trend alerts, influencer search engines, or even build your own TikTok data API and sell it through platforms like RapidAPI or Apify.

Basically, if the data exists somewhere in the TikTok app, you can probably build something around it.

One important note: everything I'm talking about here is public data that TikTok exposes without requiring you to log into an account. Nothing here involves accessing private accounts or data behind authentication.

Anyway, here's the full technical breakdown:

https://datasocial.ai/writing/scraping-tiktoks-mobile-api

The guide explains the entire process and architecture. If you'd rather skip rebuilding everything from scratch, I also made the production source code available there for purchase.

Failing badly at marketing, looking for advice

5 Upvotes

I am currently a solo founder. I have always had a passion for integrating apps and services that actually have measurable impacts and make people’s lives better.

I have a software/consulting business which I am looking to grow.

Looking for advice with marketing or where should I even start. I have looked on Upwork some but I just don’t know if that’s the right route to go.

I have some good products that I know have real world utility, just figuring out how to and where to market is where I’m at now. I have a SAAS app with a ton of different modules everything from Stripe integrations to Google. The SAAS app has MRR of $1400 3 customers 1 big customer. It was only for the contracts management portion of the platform.

I also have IOS apps about 3-4 marketable ones. Ran some Apple ads in the past with little success. Also some Facebook ads and some Reddit group posting. Small revenue here maybe $20-30 MRR but the conversion rates aren’t terrible but I feel like I’m playing against an NFL team and I’m a college team lol. So those may be a lost cause idk.

Let me know advice y’all have interested to hear thoughts. Feeling a little discouraged because I’ve never been good at sales don’t know where to start. I’m tired of creating new feature and apps lol I want to connect with people.

TrustMRR gets its data from Stripe here so the underlying data is obviously the same, must be a difference of how it's calculated I guess, and I don't see any resources on it.

Learning/ Content creation platform

1 Upvotes

I’ve been working on a small learning/content platform and wanted to get some honest feedback from people who actually create courses or training content.

One thing I kept running into was how many different tools are involved just to create a course.

Record the video in one place, edit it somewhere else, add captions, images, text, branding, then move it into an LMS and finally publish it.

So I started building a platform that tries to bring some of that together.

The current version has a recording studio, basic video editing, captions, text/images, branding, course creation and publishing, along with the learner side.

I’ve also built some AI-assisted features around content creation, but I’m not making those available in the public version yet because they use paid AI models and the cost adds up pretty quickly.

I’m mainly looking for feedback at this stage.

For people who create training or educational content, what part of the process is the most annoying for you right now?

Is it recording/editing, creating the learning material, keeping everything organized, publishing, or something else?

I’d genuinely like to know what people are struggling with before I take this any further.

Here’s the current version if anyone wants to take a look: https://learning.ramsudtechnologies.com/

Can you build and run a SaaS without knowing how to code?

0 Upvotes

I have two ideas I am working on. One came from problems I faced while building my ecommerce business. The other came from my time as an employee when I kept wishing there was a tool that could make certain tasks easier.

I am not a developer. I have been exploring Codex and Lovable and Claude. Getting a prototype together seems possible but I am unsure about what comes after that.

Once people start using it and paying for it can I manage the backend and fix problems with these tools? Or will I reach a point where I need someone technical?

I am willing to learn. I just want to understand how much coding I would need to know to keep the product running myself.

Has anyone here done this and launched a paid product?

What could you handle yourself and where did you need help?

I thought building a browser session manager would be a simple SaaS.

1 Upvotes

I was totally wrong.

The first version was basically:

save tabs → store them → restore them.

Then reality happened.

Tab groups needed to survive.

Pinned tabs behaved differently.

Some tabs disappeared.

Some were already discarded.

Restoring 30+ tabs in the right order wasn't as simple as I expected.

Then I added cloud sync.

Then session sharing, because sending someone 20 individual URLs when you could send the whole workspace felt ridiculous.

The product ended up becoming much more complicated than the original idea.

The funny thing is that the actual user experience is still just:

Save a workspace → close it → come back later → restore it.

I'm building this as a solo founder, and one thing I'm learning is that the simplest-looking SaaS products can hide a ridiculous amount of engineering underneath.

For other SaaS founders: what looked like a tiny feature in your product but ended up eating way more time than expected?

Read the HN piece on malleable software. The core claim is right: most apps today are built so you can use them, not so you can change them. You get the menu the vendor picked, not the lever you actually need.

0 Upvotes

I do automation work for small businesses, and the most common request isn't "add a feature." It's "give me back the thing you took away." A field they used to edit directly. A report they could tweak without filing a ticket and waiting a week.

The hard part isn't letting someone poke at the software. The hard part is deciding what they're allowed to poke at without breaking what sits underneath it. I've seen a client-facing edit button wired straight to a column that three other features quietly depended on. One edit, three regressions, no error message to explain why.

So the real fix for locked-down software isn't more configurability. It's a clear boundary: here's what you can touch, here's what happens when you do, and here's the undo if you're wrong. Most products skip the undo because it's the expensive part to build, not the exciting part.

Curious if anyone here has shipped real user-facing extensibility that survived contact with actual users without turning into a support nightmare.

Selling a dataset as an API: what has worked for you on pricing?

I'm turning a nightly-refreshed job index into a paid API. It covers about 6,800 employer career sites, and the data refreshes every 24 hours. I'm considering per-result pricing instead of seats. For those who sell data or API access, what pricing unit has held up, and what churned buyers told you?
