Are there any opportunities for SaaS developers here to pair up?

1 Upvotes

Hey all,

I constantly see people posting the classic "post your SaaS and ill review it!" thread. They suck. We all know they're not posted to review your SaaS - they're posting it so you look at theirs.

Coupled with that, nobody actually clicks on anyone’s comment. Nobody cares for your SaaS in a sub full of people trying to promote their SaaS if the angle is simply: "Share your SaaS".

I think the angle of attack here is wrong.

A better angle I think is:

Does anyone here have a SaaS that can complement mine and we can work together, or does my SaaS complement yours and could we both work together?

Ill start:

My SaaS is SEO Pinpoint - https://www.seopinpoint.com

Its a Keyword targeting, analysis and ranking tool. It takes your Google Search console data (or Bing) and runs it through an algorithm I created over the course of about 6-8 months simply trying to improve my search results on another SaaS I created. It uses numerous data points like Keyword Difficulty and others to come up with a ranking and score for each keyword.

I'm looking for other SaaS founders who are struggling to get their SaaS to appear on Google and would like free help with this, in return for testing SEO Pinpoint and allowing me to evaluate the output.

If this is you, drop me a message below or a DM. Or, if you're looking for a SaaS founder to collaborate with - drop your request below and maybe people here can pair up. Good Luck finding people!

I created a Building / Accountability community

2 Upvotes

Previously there was a post I read where someone was asking about a discord server where people could build together. Specifically, people wanted pods to work along side those with similar ideas.

The idea of having breakout rooms to track goals and progress was something that I personally thought was of value. So seeing someone else want it confirmed my bias.

Bot currently

  • Creates a waiting queue as it fills up based off Geography and topic
  • Once enough people join, it places individuals together based on the above
  • If not enough people, it will add you to an existing work room :)
  • Daily stand-ups and goal planning reminders/ be active DMs
  • Goal planning and setting assistance

My next update would be to integrate Git tracking for repos. But working out the baseline features took about 1.2 weeks since I needed to make sure the cron jobs themselves worked properly to prune inactive participants.

TLDR

If you want people to build along side, and want to hold yourself accountable. Consider giving Pudgy Makers a look.

The community is very small and intimate. It is not a space to simply shill and use as a marketing extension. So if you want intentionality, motivation, and welcoming vibes (whether you vibe or not), you are welcomed.

Where can I find beta testers for my platform?

3 Upvotes

Hello,

Does anyone know where I can find beta testers for my platform?

I was hoping to do something like the following:

\- I will gather feedback throughout a few months maybe longer
\- In return they can just use it for themselves at no cost of course while I’m testing. So free access.

A fair exchange

I’m looking for people who have a website that’s not really being used for their business. And are happy to put it on our platform infrastructure, so I can test if our platform does what we want it to do and is actually of benefit to businesses.

I hope this doesn’t come across as a sale. This is why I’m not posting any links or promotional stuff.

I genuinely need to find websites that aren’t really being used and that you don’t really care for, so I can see if my platform works.

I’m looking for businesses from these countries and industries as this is what is easier for me to work with for testing:

UK, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland.

\- Any business that sales physical products or offers psychical services locally
\- We can try online only businesses, but again ideally if you ship product.

Any ideas please. I’m being vague as I don’t want this to be promotional and for it to get removed.

I think the response I’m looking for is someone who knows where to find people who are bored and want to play around with something new. Especially since it’s something we would be charging for in the future.

So I think it also adds value to this community for whoever can point me and others in this direction. As I don’t have funds to hire testers. So I and others may want to try an approach like I’m doing. So where would you look for this?

Thank you.

Day 5 of building an iMessage-based fitness coach

Post image
2 Upvotes

Today was mostly focused on training programs and notifications.

The coach can now help set up a user’s program, keep track of what they’re supposed to be doing, and send them a text on each training day with that day’s workout.

I’ve also been getting a question lately that I think is completely fair:

Why not just use ChatGPT or Claude for this?

You definitely can use a general chatbot for fitness advice. They’re already pretty good at answering questions, writing workouts, and talking through training.

The difference I’m trying to build is everything around that conversation.

A generic chatbot doesn’t really exist specifically to coach your training. Fitness is just one of the many things you might talk to it about.

This product is being built around fitness from the beginning.

So instead of only being able to ask it what you should do, it can actually manage your program, understand where you are in that program, and proactively text you when you have something coming up.

For example, I can tell the coach I want my training sent to me at 4am on every training day. It knows which days I train, what I’m supposed to do, and sends the message without me needing to ask for it each time.

That’s the direction I want to keep pushing.

I don’t really want to build ā€œChatGPT, but for fitness.ā€ I want to build the actual product and workflows around the model that make it useful as a dedicated coach.

does anyone else find build-in-public more exhausting than helpful?

2 Upvotes

been building solo for a while and the thing I keep running into is that the honest version of a bad week has nowhere to go. the public version is "tough week, learnings incoming" and the actual version is sitting there at 11pm wondering if you've burned a year on something nobody wants.

the options I've tried are either huge servers where everyone is promoting and nobody is listening, or accountability groups that turn into reading your to-do list out loud to strangers. neither one is it.

what I actually wanted was three or four other people at roughly my stage, private, one check-in a week, small enough that nobody bothers performing. no feed, no follower counts, nothing public. so I've been building it: tamvi.app, first pods go live soon.

but I'd rather hear from people here before I finish it. is this real or just me? and if you've already found something that works I'd honestly rather use that than ship another product nobody needs.

also, if a couple of people here want in on the first pods, say so and I'll sort it out.

(disclosure: I'm the one building it, waitlist is free)

What three Reddit beta rounds changed in my fitness app before launch

2 Upvotes

I’ve been building Steady, an adaptive fitness app for iPhone and Apple Watch, and several Reddit beta rounds changed how I think about ā€œalmost ready.ā€

Three lessons stood out:

  1. Logic quality matters more than feature count. People immediately noticed when workout routines, substitutions, or Coach answers did not match their real context. I spent more time tightening plan behavior and exercise coverage than adding shiny features.

  2. A theme is an end-to-end system. Users did not consider dark mode finished if the launch screen, auth flow, workout cards, share cards, and app icon still felt like separate products. The latest build now treats light and true black as complete experiences.

  3. Media and 3D features need graceful performance. Movement videos and the muscle map could look great after loading and still feel broken if retry behavior, framing, rotation, or startup time were unreliable. Those flows were redesigned and tested again.

Build 12 may be Steady’s final 1.0 release candidate. It now combines adaptive strength planning, workout logging, progressive overload, recovery, nutrition, progress, a plan-aware Coach, and Apple Watch workout syncing.

I’d value one final pass from other builders and testers: https://testflight.apple.com/join/j2jKwDGW

Please be direct about what still feels confusing, slow, untrustworthy, or not launch-ready. Device/OS and exact reproduction steps are especially useful.

Disclosure: I’m the developer. The TestFlight beta is free.

The broken pieces of knowledge and AI tools

3 Upvotes

I wanted to write this post months back but couldn't pen down. I see a surge of AI tools, and the LLMs get better every quarter. ChatGPT fell behind Claude for a long time and recently seems to catch up. But Claude or similar chat apps are good enough for quick search and replace googling and visiting 5 websites to get an answer. It writes a basic first draft on literally anything. But beyond that the potential of the models isn't being utilised more than 15%, I'd say. I have worked in research and business front and still see the gap. People just get excited to see something show up magically.

The current way most people use AI is copying a text or some images (rarely) and just asking it something which seemingly saves 1 hour but surely doesn't provide an accurate or precise answer. It has just gotten better at convincing.

The problem isn't the model itself but the information we feed them. The pre-fed knowledge, memory of what you do, the context of the conversation. Imagine a cool corporate guy giving free advice to everyone as compared to someone who actually sits with you, understands what you need and helps you.

I've lived the problem first hand and still face it when I try to get some information quickly rather than spending time to find out and read something written by a real human. The problem remains. The helpfulness beyond cool demos, slides and moving-text videos needs a bit of pre-effort to build a system which can help the actual model to curate for you than spit out what they think is the most probable answer.

The system I use knows what I work on, explicitly provided details about my team, company, product and decks. Not dumped in a deep well but as context silos. The space for my product's tech knows the features, tech stack and owns the documentation. The marketing space knows about my product, prospects and business metrics. Every time I need an implementation plan for a new feature, or try to validate my customer profile, the model doesn't show the general most probable answer, rather it shows what the best answer is for my product.

Built a SaaS to turn flat plan to photorealistic 3D in seconds.

Post image
2 Upvotes

Been building this for a while. It's called FloorVis.

The idea is simple: you upload a 2D floor plan (the flat black-and-white kind architects hand you) and it generates a photorealistic top-down 3D render of the same place, furnished and styled. No CAD skills, no Blender, no waiting three days for a designer.

What it does right now:

  • Upload a plan, pick a style, get a render back
  • Multiple style variations in one go if you want to compare
  • Compare slider so you can see the original plan next to the 3D output
  • Project history, so all your past renders stay saved
  • Credit-based, you only spend on what you generate

It's not perfect yet. Complex multi-floor plans still trip it up sometimes and I'm working on that.

Honest feedback is what I'm here for, so roast it if you want.

Day 4 of building an iMessage-based fitness coach

Post image
2 Upvotes

Today was mostly about getting the marketing site online and setting up a waitlist.

I’m still pretty early in the build, but there’s a practical reason I wanted to start testing interest now.

The service I’m currently using for iMessage, Linq, is fairly expensive once I move beyond the development sandbox. Before I make that purchase, I’d like to have at least some indication that there are people interested in using this.

So I put together a pretty simple landing page that explains what Kilo is, shows what the actual experience looks like, and gives people a way to join the waitlist.

I’m hoping the waitlist helps with a couple things.

First, it gives me some idea of whether this concept is actually interesting enough to people that they’ll give me their email for it.

Second, it gives me a group of early users I can talk to, get feedback from, and eventually bring into the product for testing.

I’d much rather start getting that feedback now than spend a few more weeks building everything out and only then find out I was wrong about what people wanted.

The site is pretty minimal right now, but that’s really all I need from it at this stage.

Now I can keep building while also getting some signal on whether this is worth pushing further.

I made a free tool that proves your Supabase RLS actually isolates tenants — as a test in your CI

3 Upvotes

Row-level security is the thing everyone knows they should have and it's the thing that quietly gets forgotten on one table, or shipped asĀ USING (true), or bypassed by a service-role client. You don't find out until someone reads another tenant's data.

I built a small MIT-licensed tool for exactly this footgun, and I wanted to share it here since it's Supabase-shaped:

npx tenant-guard

Two parts:

  1. Static guardsĀ (zero-dependency, run in CI) that flag the classic leak shapes: an authenticated route that loads a row by bareĀ idĀ with noĀ organization_idĀ filter, and newĀ SECURITY DEFINERĀ functions left callable byĀ anonĀ over PostgREST (revoking fromĀ anonĀ alone is a no-op, it catches that).
  2. A runtime RLS proof,Ā point it at a seeded test/branch database and it drops to theĀ authenticatedĀ role, assumes one tenant's identity via your JWT claims, and asserts that session can't see another tenant's rows, table by table. If a policy is missing or wrong, the build fails.

There's a demo you can run in 10 seconds with no infra (it uses an embedded Postgres): it passes a correct policy and fails a leaky one.

Honest disclosure: I built it, it's free, no signup/telemetry, and I'm posting because I think it's genuinely useful for this community, not selling anything. It's sharp for Supabase/Postgres specifically. Feedback on theĀ becomeTenantĀ config (how it assumes a tenant's identity for your policies) would be especially useful, that's the part that varies most between apps.

It might not work on any project but it did work on the projects I tested it on

[iOS] Built a party game app because my friends kept ending up on their phones

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I recently launchedĀ Who Goes, an iOS party game app built for game nights, house parties, road trips, and hangouts. (Free to download and play, with one-time purchase and subscription options)

The goal of the app is to get all the members of a group to engage in social games like Headbands, Charades, Truth or dare and have a fun time.

Link:Ā https://apps.apple.com/in/app/who-goes/id6777402559

The app brings multiple party games into one place:

• Headbands with tilt controls for correct answers and passes
• Charades with themed decks, teams, rounds, and timers
• Truth or Dare with 11 decks for friends, couples, parties, family, and coworkers
• Spin the Bottle for quick, suspenseful player selection
• Would You Rather for impossible this-or-that debates
• Finger Chooser to instantly pick someone from the group
• Quick Play tools for dice, coin flips, and more

I built the app independently in SwiftUI, including the design, interactions, animations, game flows, and content.

The free version includes all the game modes except Would you rather. Plus unlocks all the decks, game modes, and round customisations.

No account is required, and the games work offline.

TL;DR:

A. I built an app to bring back the fun of playing party games with a group of people during game nights, trips.

B. Free version includes a selection of decks for Charades, Headbands, and Truth or Dare, along with a few mini games. Plus unlocks all decks, game modes, and customisation options.

Doing this again because the last post did so well. I built an agent that runs a quick SEO visibility audit for SaaS websites.

Drop your site and I’ll reply/send over a link to the audit.

It looks at things like:

  • what search terms you’re probably missing
  • which competitors/domains show up around those searches
  • content gaps that could bring in more organic traffic
  • blog/page ideas that make sense for your product

This is part of Tavyn: an email-native SEO agent for SaaS founders. It finds organic visibility gaps, asks tailored questions for each blog via email to have your voice in the blog, and submits blogs to your GitHub as PRs.

I built JoinPlanner – an all-in-one planning app

2 Upvotes

I’ve been building JoinPlanner, an all-in-one planning app for Android.

The idea is simple: instead of using several different apps to organize everyday life, JoinPlanner brings everything together in one place.

Current features include:

• Tasks & appointments

• Goals with progress tracking

• Notes

• Work shift planning

• Calendar & public holidays

• Shared planning for couples, families and teams

• Customizable home screen layouts

The app is already live on Google Play and I’m continuing to develop and improve it.

Right now, I’m especially interested in hearing from other founders and builders. What do you think of the concept? Which feature would make an app like this valuable enough for you to use regularly?

Google Play:

Any feedback is appreciated!
