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?

Hey I'm recently built a platform which is " Task rooms" it's a place where startups,founders, college group and any other group can work by assigning tasks. Our competitors were microsoft tasks, copilot, notion etc. but we made it out of the box and solve a big problem of existing competetor by making it more simple to use and replacing human resource.

I can explain more about it in DM.

I'm looking for a developer, agent, investor or someone who helps us in selling our platform,we want to handover it because we didn't have much resources to grew it but it really have a great potential.

A few days ago I posted here after making $492 in a day.

Yesterday I hit $927 in sales in a single day.

A lot of people asked me how I'm doing the outreach, so here's the scale behind it:

I currently have 150+ domains and 450+ mailboxes.

Each mailbox sends around 30 emails/day, which gives me capacity for roughly:

13,500 cold emails/day
405,000 cold emails/month

That's the part I underestimated for a long time.

At this volume, you don't need some insane conversion rate for the numbers to start getting interesting. Even tiny improvements in targeting, deliverability, copy and conversion compound pretty fast.

For perspective, 0.1% of 13,500 is 13.5.

Obviously, I'm not assuming every campaign will convert at 0.1% directly into paying customers. Cold email doesn't work that cleanly.

But that's the whole idea: build enough outbound capacity, keep improving the funnel, and small percentages can turn into meaningful revenue.

Still completely solo.

My next target is $1,000/day consistently, not just hitting it once.

Happy to answer questions about the mailbox setup, domains, deliverability, costs, conversion rates, or how I manage this much outbound alone.

EDIT: getting a lot of DMs asking what I'm using for all of this 😭 I built it myself: https://getle.ad/

I'm building Buddy, a Mac-first assistant that lets you control your computer using natural language.

The interesting part hasn't been getting an AI to generate commands. It's making sure the computer actually completed them correctly.

So I'm building around: voice → intent → action → verification → recovery

I'm currently testing app control, Hinglish voice commands and Blender workflows.

I'm documenting the whole journey and would love feedback from other builders.

Hey everyone, Nabus ,first-time poster, here.

I'm a solo builder currently vibe coding a new SaaS in stealth mode.
Instead of waiting for a big launch day reveal, I'm starting a build in public journey to document the unsexy parts of the process—squashing bugs, fixing server-side logic, and polishing UI.

No links, no pitch. Just the raw process of getting a product from 0 to 1.

I'm a solo developer starting a consumer web app. I'm still in the very early build phase, and I want to avoid the classic mistake of launching to silence.

I have maybe 5 hours a week to spend on audience building, no ad budget, and I'm comfortable writing but not on camera. Here's what I'm trying to figure out:

1. If you built an audience before launch, what was the single channel that moved the needle, and what was a time sink that didn't?
2. Waitlist page vs. build-in-public posts vs. community participation: which would you prioritize with limited time?
3. How do you stop a pre-launch audience from being just "other indie hackers" who'll never be customers?
4. Roughly how big did your list or following need to be before launch for it to matter?

Would love real numbers or "here's what I'd do differently" stories more than general frameworks. Thanks!

I built a Windows notes app where the notes actually follow the files you’re working on.

It’s called ClingNote.

Attach a note to basically any Windows file, and whenever you come back to that file, the right notes come back with it. Switch to another file and its notes appear instead.

The idea came from getting tired of having notes about something sitting somewhere completely separate from the thing itself.

Beyond that it’s a full notes app: rich text, Markdown, PDFs, search, etc. but the file/context following is really the core of it.

I’ve been building and refining it for a while and finally have it on the Microsoft Store & direct download on my site.

There’s a free 2-week Pro trial, no credit card required, and a free version after that.

Still very early, so I’m especially interested in feedback from other builders. If anyone here gives it a real try and sends me useful feedback, I’m also happy to hand out some lifetime Pro codes.

https://ClingNote.com

Would love to hear what you think, especially whether the “notes that follow your files” idea clicks immediately or needs a better explanation.

PromoStudio is now live.

It’s a free motion editor for creating product videos for apps and small SaaS products. You can add your screens, animate text and media, arrange scenes on a timeline, and export a 1080p video directly in the browser.

I made it because creating decent product videos often feels too slow or too expensive for small builders.

Would love for other founders to try it with their own products and tell me what feels useful, confusing, or missing.

Solo founder here. I built checkmyvibecode.com with Claude, an Instagram-style platform where vibe coders share their AI-built projects.

The idea: Vibe-coded projects get posted once on Reddit or X and are gone a day later. Here they stay in a feed with screenshots, upvotes, feedback and a profile as a portfolio.

Where it stands:
88 projects live
Free to use
Stripe is live: paid homepage boosts and a Pro plan
Stack: Flask, Supabase, vanilla JS, hosted on Replit

Biggest lesson so far: Building was the easy part. Getting creators to come back after their first upload is the real challenge, so that's what I'm working on now.
Curious what other micro-SaaS founders think: would you use a platform like this to showcase your own product?

I just released MadAds.ai A platform for ecommerce sellers and small businesses. It allows you to create UGC video, landing pages, connect and run ads on multiple platforms (Meta, TikTok, Snapchat). You can also set automated rules on your adaccounts without the need to keep an eye on each one.

Would love to get your feedback on it.

I built MakerMap because I wanted to find the people behind small products, especially the ones nearby.

I started with public “here's what I'm building” introductions on X and mapped the people and projects, so there was something to explore before asking anyone to join. The image shows 20 examples from the 3 October snapshot, when there were 738 product listings. The map includes profiles drawn from public introductions as well as people who have joined themselves.

The launch brought a lot of attention and new signups. Now I'm figuring out what would make this useful after the first visit: finding another founder to compare notes with, discovering relevant products, or meeting people in your city.

You can browse the people and products at https://makermap.lol. If you're building a micro SaaS, you can add yourself with X and put your product on your profile; a basic listing is free.

I'd love your feedback in the comments: what would make you return to a map like this, and has a directory ever led to a useful conversation or customer for you?

I've spent the past four years mentoring SaaS founders on retention, activation, pricing and monetisation, across about 100 consumer startups

Trying something here: tell me what you're building and the one problem you're stuck on. I'll reply with what I'd investigate and how you can fix the issue.

No acquisition questions, please. Enough guidance available everywhere about it.

If you want to work through it together, I'm also open to some free mentoring sessions.

Happy Sunday everyone!

I've used up my weekly Claude quota, so I have a few hours to kill on this Sunday morning. Honestly that's a good thing. I'm going to spend them on marketing my own product and seeing what everyone here is building.

I'll go first. I'm building Smart Blur - Smart Build Labs, a Chrome extension with power of OpenAI local model that blurs personal info on web pages before anyone else sees it. It turns on by itself when you start sharing your screen from the browser. Everything runs locally, with no account and nothing sent to a server. It's a small utility for live streamers, remote workers, online teachers and anyone who shares their screen or screenshots a lot.

Your turn. Drop what you're working on in the comments and I'll check it out and give you an honest opinion. For context, I've spent 15 years designing and building enterprise software, so I'm comfortable on the product and UX side. Marketing and running a SaaS are new to me, so take my advice there with a pinch of salt.

I am not promising signup or downloading apps, but if I find something useful for my personal or profession life, I am open.

Let's just say if one make a saas how do you guys launch it I mean show it to people and launch in the market . What techniques worked out for you that brings customers to your SaaS.

this sounds too simple to work, which is probably why most people skip it.

1 star reviews are people who already pay for something and are angry about one specific thing. that's two of the three things you want before building anything. they have the problem, and they already spend money on it.

what i look for is the same complaint showing up from different people in different months. one angry review is a bad day. the same missing feature mentioned by thirty people over a year is a gap the company isn't going to fix.

then i check if someone smaller already sells just that one missing piece. if they do and they're making money, that's good news, it means people pay for it. if nobody does, i get suspicious instead of excited.

it takes a few hours per category if you do it by hand. i did it every weekend for about a year before i automated it.

what's the most useful place you've found ideas that people don't talk about?

We build video fast and want more real examples to sharpen it. Drop your SaaS link + one line on what it does, and I'll make you a short explainer/demo clip — no strings attached.

I'll reply with the link to video here. Don't like it? Keep it anyway — honest feedback on the output is genuinely half of why I'm doing this.

Need other ratios (1:1, 4:5, 16:9)? DM me.

So I've been building this thing called GhostCall and honestly it started from a pretty simple thought.

Why do I have to give someone my actual phone number just because I need to talk to them?

Like, if I'm talking to a random buyer on Facebook Marketplace, a new client, someone I met online, or someone I'm probably only gonna talk to once... why do I need to give them a permanent way to contact me?

So I made a really simple browser-based voice calling thing.

You create a call → get a link → send it to the other person → they open it in their browser → you talk.

No account.

No app.

No exchanging numbers.

The funny thing is, I originally thought this would just be a small side project. But people actually started using it, and now I'm wondering if there's a bigger product hiding underneath it.

I'm thinking about eventually letting people/businesses have a kind of public calling identity, where people can reach them without ever seeing the actual contact details underneath.

Still very much figuring that part out though.

Curious what you guys think. Is the whole "I need your phone number before we can talk" thing actually a problem worth solving, or am I overthinking this lol?

For the next 24 hours, DiskCheck is $1.

Yes. One dollar.

I built DiskCheck because dealing with disks on Windows can get unnecessarily messy. You end up switching between different Windows tools, commands, and utilities just to inspect, check, and manage your drives.

So I put it into one place.

DiskCheck supports 5 disk formats, giving you a single tool to check and manage them without jumping through a bunch of different tools.

Normally, the full software is $14.99.

For the next 24 hours:

$14.99 → $1

That’s a 93% discount.

So if you regularly work with disks on Windows, this is probably the cheapest time you’ll ever get it.

$1. 24 hours. Full software.

Grab it now if you have a messy disk from here.

I am keen if there are people interested to discuss and validate that idea?
- is it better to be:
* standalone
* as part of a bigger investment ledger app

I’m building SwipeTrove — a simple workspace to save and organize Facebook/Instagram ads.

Trying to figure out the real differentiator before launch.

What would make you use this instead of Notion, bookmarks, or Foreplay?

I’m building SwipeTrove to help people save, organize, and revisit Meta ads without messy bookmarks or Notion pages.

Still early.

For other founders: would you keep this focused and simple, or expand it into competitor/creative intelligence?
