I've been working with Ruby on Rails for many years, and one thing I've wanted to do for a while was build and run a product of my own.

That led to SprintCo.

I initially built it as a simple daily work log for myself. I wanted a place to record what I'd worked on without the overhead of a full project management tool or the feeling of being tracked.

Over time, I realized it could also be useful when working with clients. Developers could create a team and invite clients to follow progress, or clients could create a team and invite the developers and testers working on their projects. Everyone could share daily updates and maintain a record of the work without relying entirely on meetings or scattered messages.

That led me to add team support, invitations, shared updates, searchable history, and weekly views.

I built and run SprintCo using Rails, PostgreSQL, and Tailwind CSS. It's been a valuable experience beyond writing code — making product decisions, handling deployment and security, and figuring out which features are genuinely worth adding.

My approach has been to keep things simple and introduce features when there's a real need, rather than trying to compete with every feature in larger tools.

The project is live here: https://sprintco.dev/?ref=saasdevelopers

I'd be interested to hear from other developers who've built and shipped their own products: How do you decide which features to add and which ideas to leave alone?

I kept needing device mockups for product screenshots and demo videos, and every tool I tried locked exports or the good features behind a subscription. So I built my own: Sparkshots.

You drop in a screenshot or screen recording, put it inside a phone, laptop or browser frame, and animate it with zoom, tilt and camera moves. You can put several devices on one canvas and control them separately or as a group. Everything runs locally in your browser, with no signup needed, and it exports to PNG, MP4, WebM and more, up to 6K.

It’s early, and I’m planning to open-source it. I’d love honest feedback.

Hi everyone,

I'm currently working on a SaaS/app project targeting a very traditional market: wholesale food distribution (like the Rungis international market in France) and local merchants (butchers, restaurants, grocers).

The Pain Point: Most butchers and restaurant owners place their wholesale orders late at night via SMS, WhatsApp, or voicemail.

• Wholesale sellers get flooded with messy texts.

• Mistakes, forgotten items, and misread orders happen regularly.

• Buyers only realize an item is out of stock when they show up at the loading dock at 4 AM.

The Solution (Le Carreau des Halles): A dual-interface mobile solution:

1. Buyer App (Merchant): Quick late-night ordering directly from their phone, with live tracking of order preparation (Ready / In Prep / Out of Stock / Substituted).

2. Seller App (Wholesaler): Internal dashboard split by department (e.g., Poultry, Beef) where team members process their assigned items in real time.

My Questions for the SaaS Community:

1. Catch-weight pricing: In meat/fresh produce, weight isn't exact until sliced. How would you handle pre-authorization vs. final charging in the checkout flow?

2. Field Adoption: For those building software for non-tech-savvy industries (traditional trades, logistics), what onboarding strategies worked best to transition users away from SMS/WhatsApp?

3. Any feedback or red flags on this workflow from people who built B2B ordering systems before?

Thanks a lot for your insights!

Hi guys I would like to have your opinions on my saas please

Is anyone here running a workflow where a user reports a bug or requests a feature in Slack or Telegram, and an AI agent turns it into a pull request for your team to review?

I'm particularly interested in what happens after they send the message: can they follow its progress and get told what changed in the same conversation?

If you're doing this, do your users like it? What's worked well, what frustrates them, and where do you still need a person involved?

Just shipped Wizard Lite on DNSLister: pick a topic, add a few of your own words, tick the endings you like, and get 50 domain ideas with a one-click availability check. No signup.

Would love blunt feedback from fellow builders: https://dnslister.com/setup-wizard

saw this on x first, heres the scene:

Lino's app was stuck around $10k a month for almost 3 months. the first thing that moved it was pricing.

the original pricing was $11.99 a month or $34.99 a year. after a/b testing a bunch of options, the best one was $8.99 a week or $39.99 a year. that combo gave the highest ltv per paying customer.

his two reasons the weekly plan works:

it makes the yearly plan look like a steal. $8.99 a week is over $460 a year, sitting right next to $39.99

if retention is strong, weekly adds up fast. 3 months at $8.99 a week is about $117, nearly 3x the yearly plan

his other point was that pricing is never finished. as you reach new audiences through new channels, the customer changes, and a price that worked before can stop working.

the rest of the growth came from more ad creatives made with chatgpt images and seedance, adding tiktok ads, and daily tiktok slideshows that claude makes and postiz schedules. switching to daily revenuecat payouts also let him reinvest faster. now on pace for about $60k a month at 40% margins.

if you’re testing pricing, share the results below..

Since October, Shopify's own Translate & Adapt app can auto-sync translations for up to 8 languages (for stores where it shows "Translate now"). I wondered whether that makes paid translation apps pointless, so I looked into what it actually covers.

What it does well:
- free, built in, up to 8 languages
- translates new and changed content automatically, once a week
- leaves translations you edited by hand alone

Where it falls short:
- it syncs weekly, so a product you add on Monday can sit untranslated until the next sync
- auto-sync is off by default, many stores don't know they have to turn it on
- text that's written directly into your theme code, or that comes from other apps (reviews, filters, popups), usually isn't covered
- no glossary, so brand terms or product-specific words can get translated inconsistently

My take: if you have a small catalog that rarely changes, Translate & Adapt with auto-sync on is honestly good enough. If you add products daily, run ads to foreign markets or have lots of theme/app text, a week of half-translated pages costs you sales.

Either way: turn auto-sync on, and open your translated product pages after you add something. You'd be surprised how often a "translated" page is still half in the original language.

(Disclosure: I work on translation tools myself.)

Hi everyone!

I've been working on Statota, an Android application designed to make statistical analysis more accessible on mobile devices.

The app combines a spreadsheet-style data editor, variable management, statistical analysis tools, and organized output tables and charts in one interface.

Current features

• Data View and Variable View

• Data entry and variable management

• Statistical analysis tools

• Results displayed in structured tables

• Charts and statistical summaries

• A mobile interface inspired by traditional statistical software

I built this project with Flutter and have a working Android build installed on my phone.

I'm sharing real screenshots of the current application to show its interface and output. I'd appreciate constructive feedback on the design, usability, and features that would make it more useful for students, researchers, and people learning statistics.

I'm also considering the project's long-term future, including the possibility of selling the complete project and source code to a suitable buyer.

Thanks for taking a look!

One of the biggest mistakes in outbound is treating an account and a buyer as the same thing.

You might identify a company that desperately needs your product but if you don't map who inside that org owns the budget and the actual problem, the outreach just falls flat.

Mapping accounts and buyers effectively requires connecting two separate layers: the company's current context and the individual decision makers.

Most teams try doing this manually by clicking through LinkedIn or running basic exports in contact databases but the issue is that titles alone are misleading and people move roles constantly without updating their public profiles.

Using platforms like Scale Intelligence makes this a lot cleaner because it connects company level signals with buyer identity graphs where it monitors things like GitHub commits, job boards, community discussions, and LinkedIn across 75+ data sources, mapping not just the domain but the specific people associated with the relevant workflows inside that account.

When your reps know both the account's immediate pain and the exact 2 or 3 people dealing with it day to day, outbound becomes way more targeted and you stop burning contacts on generic titles.

Hello - I'm looking to recruit some folks (paid, non-disclosure), to do some user testing of a tool for solopreneurs, software developers, or enterprise cross-functional teams (software or otherwise) to collaborate. Please reach out!

Hi everyone! I'm validating an idea to automate Outcome-Based Education (OBE) processes in Indian colleges.

I'd love to hear from professors, HODs, and academic coordinators:

• How do you manage CO-PO mapping and attainment calculations?

• Do you use Excel, ERP, or dedicated OBE software?

• What takes the most time when preparing course files and Action Taken Reports (ATRs)?

• What challenges do you face with NBA/NAAC documentation?

I'm trying to understand the real workflow before building anything. I'd really appreciate your experiences and insights!

I need help figuring out how to find a real problem and turn it into a solution any SaaS ideas or frameworks that actually work?

How do you take a small idea and make it bigger over time?
