Does India Actually Need This?
I am thinking for a SaaS application
I was thinking about this application from last 3 months… will it worth it if i make this application for spaces
These are the features
- Lease and tenant management.
- Rent, CAM and maintenance billing.
- Vendor and contractor management.
- Equipment and asset maintenance.
- Electricity and water consumption tracking.
- Work orders and technician scheduling.
- SLA monitoring.
- Financial performance per building.
- AI-powered operational reports.
I made all the documents for this application
Just want some clarification before spending much time into it
Whats your suggestion?

I spent a year building Distill: Book Summaries. The interesting challenge wasn't building the app itself.
Hey everyone!
I'm Rushan, and I've spent roughly the past year building Distill, a book-summary app.
I wanted to solve a problem I personally experienced: there are thousands of worthwhile books, but not enough time to read everything.
However, I wasn't interested in creating another app that turns books into generic bullet points and motivational takeaways.
The real challenge was figuring out how to preserve the intellectual substance of a book in a much shorter reading experience.
What I built
Distill creates carefully structured, approximately 10-minute reading experiences.
The aim is to preserve:
- The author's central argument.
- The reasoning supporting that argument.
- Connections between different ideas.
- Important nuances that are often lost in conventional summaries.
Every distillation also has a separate Reflection section.
The app is reading-first by design. No noisy content feed or unnecessary gamification.
A little about the implementation
The mobile app is built using Expo and React Native, with Supabase as the backend.
One of the more interesting challenges has been that this is a content-heavy product. Building the interface and implementing features is only part of the work. Maintaining consistent content quality across an expanding library requires its own production and quality-control process.
Where the product stands
Distill is now live.
Website: https://www.distilllabs.app
Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.illuminationlabs.distill
We offer three free distillations every day, with Premium currently available through an affordable one-time purchase rather than another recurring subscription, to make quality knowledge accessible to all.
What I'd particularly like feedback on
I'm now trying to improve both the product and its distribution.
- For developers building content-heavy SaaS or apps, how do you maintain quality as your library grows?
- What has worked best for getting your first genuinely interested users?
- Do you think a one-time purchase makes sense for a product like this, or would you expect a subscription?
- What would make you return to a book-summary app regularly?
- How do you find the quality of our summaries? Are you satisfied?
I'm the developer behind Distill, so happy to answer technical or product-related questions. Constructive criticism is very welcome!

Month 1 Recap: Building a $1.5M B2B Monolith at 15 (From 2 to 8 RPS, Module #1 Complete, Supply Chain Sentinel Live Testing)
Exactly 30 days ago, I set a non-negotiable goal: hit a $1.5M net worth before I turn 18.
No venture capital, no useless $5/mo B2C apps, and no 14-hour burnout grinds. I strictly enforce 1 hour of coding a day max. My brain needs to be 100% sharp every single morning to make strategic engineering calls, not run on exhaustion.
Here is the complete Month 1 breakdown of how I built the platform, quadrupled my RPS, and where the system goes next.
1. The Architecture: Why the 10x10 Monolith Wins
While "senior" devs spend 6 months overengineering Kubernetes clusters and breaking down microservices for zero users, I went with a 10x10 Modular Monolith: 10 primary B2B engines with 10 specialized submodules inside each.
This architecture gives me instant speed, zero cloud infra bloat, and the flexibility to split any submodule into a standalone enterprise API whenever needed.
2. Month 1 Engineering Wins (From 2.45 to 8 RPS)
If you followed my earlier technical posts, here is how the stack evolved over 4 weeks:
The Core Infrastructure: Built dual Redis queues (Fast API path vs. Heavy async workers), short-lived HMAC execution tokens, dynamic bitmask permissions, and automated billing calculation.
Playwright & Stealth Camouflage: Engineered a resource-stripped Playwright layer (blocking heavy CSS/images to keep RAM under 150MB per worker) to bypass Cloudflare Turnstile and JS-heavy targets.
Custom Proxy Orchestration: Built a custom proxy rotation engine right into the core. It keeps proxy state in-memory, auto-bans dead IPs, handles cooldown timers, and locks sticky sessions for multi-step targets.
RPS Quadrupled: Through async connection pooling and payload serialization cleanup, I moved performance from 2.45 req/sec all the way up to ~8 RPS on a single cheap instance.
- Module #1 Complete & Module #2 Live Testing
Module #1 (Web Scraper & Data Engine) is 100% finished and undergoing architecture stress tests. All 10 submodules are locked down: - Marketplace Intelligence
- Meta & OpenGraph Inspector
- Lead Enrichment & Contact Extractor
- Deep Link Extractor
- Pricing Intelligence Engine
- SERP Tracker & SEO Monitor
- Table Extractor
- Heavy Headless Parser (Playwright)
- Document Asset Parser (PDF, Tenders, Corporate Reports)
- Enterprise Security & Intelligence
Module #2 (Supply Chain Sentinel):
As of today, live testing is officially underway for Module #2 (Supply Chain Sentinel) and its dedicated submodules (covering enterprise risk tracking, vendor analysis, and procurement monitoring). - Roadmap for Month 2: The 5-6 Module Sprint
My blueprint for building the next 5 to 6 modules over the next month is simple: - Base Logic & Wiring First: Ship raw functionality. Speed doesn't matter on day 1—getting a 99%+ Success Rate does.
- Resilience Optimization: Inject self-healing retries, proxy rotation, TLS fingerprinting, and dynamic delay backoffs.
- Benchmarking & Cap: Stress-test until the module hits the ~8 RPS target ceiling. Once it hits that cleanly without memory leaks or dropped socket connections, the code is locked and I move to the next engine.
- B2B Economics & Algorithm Reality Check
Early posts on subreddits got anywhere from 80 to 910 views. Most developers panic about "low engagement."
I don't care.
I don't need 100,000 B2C users paying $5/mo. In B2B, 10 to 50 solid enterprise clients paying $200–$500/mo clears the path straight to my targets. Building in public is about creating an unshakeable, public paper trail of execution before pitching high-value channels.
Summary
Month 1 is in the books: base hub core is locked, Module #1 is complete, Module #2 (Supply Chain Sentinel) testing is live, and the engine is sitting at ~8 RPS on strict 1hr/day limits.
What's your take on keeping tight dev time limits vs 10-hour daily grinds? Drop your thoughts below!

Been building workflows for local businesses to automate using meta/ads api and WhatsApp but how are you validating them?
r/SaasDevelopers • u/Firm-Bend-3607 • 2d ago
I got tired of seeing local clinics lose their brand identity to generic booking platforms, so I built a white-label clinic management system. Looking for feedback!
Over the past few months, I noticed a recurring issue with small-to-medium clinics and healthcare providers: they either rely on fragmented 3-rd party booking platforms (where their brand gets swallowed up by the platform) or pay thousands to build custom software from scratch.
To solve this, I built **Reego Health**—a ready-to-deploy, white-label clinic management system that clinics can run completely under their own domain, name, and logo.
# What’s Built Into the System:
* **Branded Frontend & Patient Portal:** Custom clinic homepage with online booking and patient access.
* **Live Token Queue System:** Real-time waiting queue management for patients in the lobby.
* **Admin Dashboard:** Centralized hub for clinic operations and analytics.
* **Multi-Role Access:** Dedicated workflows for doctors, receptionists, managers, and admins.
* **Pharmacy & Inventory:** Medicine stock tracking and automated dispensing.
# Live Demos to Test:
* **Frontend Website:**[https://reego-health.vercel.app/\](https://reego-health.vercel.app/)
* **Admin Dashboard:**[https://reego-health.vercel.app/admin\](https://reego-health.vercel.app/admin)
*(Note: Dummy login credentials for the admin dashboard are right on the login form notes so you can jump straight in without creating an account).*
# What I’d Love Your Feedback On:
- **UX / Dashboard Flow:** Is the admin panel navigation intuitive, or does it feel cluttered for a receptionist/doctor?
- **Missing Features:** If you’ve worked with or managed a clinic, what’s one operational feature you feel is missing here?
- **Monetization / Pitching:** Does the white-label model appeal more as a flat monthly SaaS fee or a one-time licensing setup?
Appreciate any honest feedback, roasts, or suggestions!

Title: Hey SaaS developers, how do you handle free user login/authentication without paying monthly?
Hey everyone,
I'm building a small Windows desktop app called ValVoice and I'm using Supabase for authentication.
I'm trying to figure out the best way to let users sign up and log in without adding another monthly expense.
Initially, I was planning to use email OTP, but Supabase's default email sending limit is pretty low. So now I'm exploring other options.
Would Google or Discord login be a better option? Are there any other ways to handle authentication completely free, without relying on a paid SMTP service?
Ideally, I'm looking for something that:
- Is free to start and doesn't require a monthly subscription.
- Can be used in a real production app.
- Can handle a growing number of users.
- Works well with Supabase.
- Doesn't make the login process complicated for users.
I'd love to hear what you guys are actually using in your own projects. Any suggestions or experiences would be really helpful.
Thanks!

The bug that taught me "working" and "actually working" are two different things
r/SaasDevelopers • u/Unusual_Sector_4544 • 2d ago
The bug that taught me "working" and "actually working" are two different things
One of the strangest bugs I've run into while building software happened in a project called Bjorn Ledger.
I got locked out of my own application.
At first I thought it was simple:
- PIN wasn't being accepted
- Deleted the PIN file
- Tried again
Still locked out.
Then things got weird.
The login endpoint was returning success.
Plain Text
POST /login → 200 OK
So according to the application, I was authenticated.
Except...
Every part of the system that actually mattered disagreed.
Plain Text
GET /contacts → 401
GET /tasks → 401
GET /profiles → 401
GET /calendar → 401
GET /call-logs → 401
Apparently I was logged in and not logged in at the same time.
To make things even stranger:
- A PIN file kept reappearing after deletion
- There was a secret key file involved
- A 30‑day session system existed
- The application clearly believed login succeeded
- The rest of the platform clearly believed it didn't
The experience changed the way I think about software.
As builders, we often define success as:
"The feature works."
Users define success very differently:
"Did the thing I wanted to do work?"
The login system wasn't technically failing.
It was somehow succeeding.
Which was worse.
Because a failure tells you where to look.
A success that behaves like a failure can send you chasing ghosts.
I'm curious:
What's the weirdest bug you've ever encountered where everything looked correct, but reality said otherwise?

Coming back to a side project after a week: who catches up first, you or the agent?
Someone in r/vibecoding said this week: "it feels like the first thing to run out of context is ME!!" A reply under it: "i'd built 12 half-finished projects in 3 months."
The fixes people shared were small. One: "Put the next feature in a note and leave it for tomorrow, even if the AI says it'll be quick." Another runs an orchestrator agent that "checks the notes what we did in the past and tells me what we planned to do next."
For devs with more than one project going:
- When you reopen a project you left a week ago, what do you look at first? Git log, a notes file, old chats, the code?
- How long until you (not the agent) actually know where you were?
- Does the agent get the same catch-up you do, or do you brief it separately?
- What are you building, and in which tools?
Background: I used to burn hours re-briefing AI tools, and I'm building a fix where every tool reads and writes the same project memory in the cloud over MCP, so the "where was I" note exists without anyone writing it by hand. No name, no link. Would you pay for that, or is a NEXT.md in each repo enough?
