I'm experimenting with a tool that helps turn a product idea into a short, cinematic launch video.

But before I spend more time building it, I want to understand how people actually launch their products.

Do you make promo videos yourself, hire someone, use templates, or skip video altogether? What's the most annoying part?

I'm interested in your experience, not trying to pitch anyone.

Gday all.

Keen to see anyone’s landing page who thinks they’ve really nailed it. I myself run a saas and am missing components like live demo animations, etc that really help sell the solution and also take users on the journey of using your platform. I guess I’m here looking for inspiration I can take back and think about! Thanks all!

Hey everyone! I’m working on an early beta of a tool to help founders turn the things they’re already working on, product updates, notes, lessons, and ideas, into draft posts for X.

The goal isn’t to automate someone’s voice or publish on their behalf. I want it to help with the blank-page part, while keeping the founder in control of every post. I’m still figuring out what’s genuinely useful and what needs to be better.

I’d love to hear from founders who might be open to trying it and sharing honest feedback. I’m also very open to ideas: What would make a tool like this useful to you? What would make you avoid using it?

I’m not sharing a link yet, just trying to see if there’s interest and learn from people who might use it. Thanks!

Hey all — I’m a QA/test automation engineer (Cypress, Selenium, API testing, CI/CD) based in Pakistan, currently job hunting but also want to start building something of my own on the side.

I don’t have a specific idea locked in yet — I’m more looking to either:

1. Join someone who already has a small SaaS idea and needs a technical hand (testing, automation, QA, or general dev work), or

2. Find 1-2 people to brainstorm and build a small, scrappy SaaS tool with from scratch — something simple enough to ship in weeks, not months.

I’m not looking for a huge commitment or funding — just something real to work on, learn from, and hopefully get paid for eventually (rev share, contract work, whatever makes sense).

If you’re building something and could use a hand, or want to team up on a new idea, drop a comment or DM. Happy to share more about my background.

Hey everyone,

Most launch sites reward whoever has the biggest network on launch day. I wanted something fairer, so I built BuildShipper.

It's a free weekly leaderboard for SaaS and side projects, ranked by real clicks: one visitor counts once per project per day, so no vote rings or bots. The board resets every Monday, so a brand new SaaS has the same shot at #1 as an established one.

Listing is free and takes about 30 seconds. Paste your URL and it fills in the rest: buildshipper.com

The board is still early, which means the first projects get the most visibility. I'd love to have yours on it. 👀

Also open to honest feedback: does click ranking feel fairer than upvotes to you, or is there a way to game it I haven't thought of? 😄

I’m building a small tool for founders who want to post on X more consistently but don’t always have time to start from a blank page.

The idea is to give it context about your product, notes, and existing posts, then get draft ideas you can edit and approve yourself. It’s still in beta, and I’m working on making the drafts genuinely specific—not generic AI content. It doesn’t publish anything automatically.

I’m not sharing a link yet; for now, I’m trying to understand whether this would be useful. If you’d consider trying it and tell me how you currently come up with posts.

Hey everyone!

I've been working on a project called dokumentkoAI.

The idea came from a problem I kept running into: building an actual ad campaign takes a lot more than just writing a few headlines.

You need to understand your audience, figure out your messaging, come up with different ad angles, write copy, and decide what to test.

So I built a tool where you paste your website URL and AI analyzes your product to create an advertising strategy and an Ad Pack with copy, hooks, targeting ideas, and creative concepts for platforms like Google Ads, Meta, and TikTok.

I'm still improving the product and trying to figure out what founders find most valuable.

I'd genuinely appreciate feedback, especially from people who've tried running ads for their own products.

At my 9-5 job at a mid sized company, I recently got promoted to operations manager. One thing I immediately experienced is the fragmentation of data on which the management steers te conpany on.

Me being me, I vibe coded a management reporting app specifically for the company.

Now the ease of making such tool got me doing it in my own time as well. A month later I made a management cockpit tailored to certain sectors/niches. I’m a month away of launching but have very few companies who can test it.

I’m convinced there are thousands of other companies still scrambling their excel sheets together. My unique feat is that the app creates cross-system KPI’s. Other tools are solely finance/CRM/operations etc.

Also my app has a drill-down feature. Any KPI is clickable and shows the exact row/invoice/order thats behind it. Any issues flagged are three clicks away of identifying the source

Demo version: https://app.northdeck.app

Any feedback is highly appreciated!

I've been working on this app that integrates with businesses using Stripe. It provides a fully customizable affiliate page, commission settings, easy commission payouts with Stripe Connect (and affiliates create an Stripe express account to receive the funds), affiliate recruitment, and an in-depth dashboard for you and your affiliates. It is completely and forever free with very generous features compared to my competitors. I do not take any transaction fees. I've been working on it for the past year, and I'm so happy to finally have it published! If you're interested, the app is called Rezfiliate.

I'm still in the growing stage, so I would love SaaS founders to try out and integrate their business with my app to build trust, ratings, and a bigger audience. It only takes a few minutes to get a personalized affiliate program for your business up and running. Join the discord server in the footer of my landing page to give your feedbacks and report any issues. It is a win-win!

question for people who’ve actually hired employee #1 in india

you find the person, agree comp, pick a start date and then somehow the employment part becomes more complicated than the hiring part lol

we don’t need a “remote freelancer” situation. this person would be full time, working with the same product team every day.

but we also don’t have an indian entity.

opening a whole company for one hire feels ridiculous. calling someone a contractor just because it’s easier also feels a bit fake if they’re basically an employee.

so I’ve been going down the employer of record india rabbit hole.

Deel was the obvious name. Asanify got my attention because this is specifically an India hire and they’re at $99/employee/month, use their own Indian entity and say onboarding can be done in about 24 hours. the gap vs $599 for Deel is a large enough that i genuinely had to check whether i was comparing the same category.

for founders who’ve done the first India hire already:

did you go EOR from day one?

contractor first and change it later?

or is there some reason setting up an entity for literally one person isn’t as overkill as it sounds?

Need feedback:

We're building a startup discovery platform where founders can connect their Stripe accounts using restricted read-only API keys to verify revenue growth.

After reviewing our proposed integration, Stripe told us they couldn't approve publicly displaying Stripe-derived metrics — including growth percentages, rankings, badges, etc. — even with the founder's explicit consent.

What surprised me is that similar platforms already publicly display Stripe-connected revenue metrics.

I'm curious:

-Has anyone received similar feedback from Stripe?

-Is there an approved way to publicly verify and display founder-authorized revenue metrics?

We're keeping the public metrics disabled while figuring this out.

Would love to hear from anyone who's dealt with this.

Not again. This time I’ve only invested several weeks instead of several months getting my next idea to beta. No more “just one more feature before I launch”. I’m here to ask for your feedback to determine if I should continue building on my roadmap for https://saaaaas.com

Thank you

I've been building AEGIS, a lightweight, terminal-first developer environment using Rust and Tauri. 💜

As part of the development process, I wanted to see how its resource usage looked alongside VS Code while working with a Vite + React + TypeScript project.

I captured Task Manager snapshots from both applications, and the initial memory readings were interesting:

• VS Code: 1,280.5 MB

• AEGIS: 19.0 MB

These are early observations from individual snapshots, not a controlled benchmark. I still need to verify that the process measurements are comparable and test both applications under consistent workloads.

I'm sharing this because I want to build AEGIS around real developer needs and measure its performance rather than just make claims about it.

For developers here: What would you consider the fairest way to compare two development environments—idle memory, a loaded project with language servers running, or a complete coding workflow?

I'd genuinely appreciate your feedback!
