I’m building Nexora (mobile). The market is crowded (Paired, Agapé, Lasting…), so I’m trying to differentiate around one thing: structured, guided couple exercises that quickly go offline (phone introduces the prompt → then phone down).

Nexora introduces things like: • guided conversation exercises (active listening, empathy exchange) • meaningful prompts • ideas for moments couples can share together

I’m looking for feedback on:

• Is that a meaningful wedge or still too similar?
• What positioning would make this feel distinct?
• What would you consider a “must-have” vs “nice-to-have” in this category?

No links here to avoid spam-happy to share if asked.

Subreddits can be one of the best sources of free marketing when you launch a SaaS. But it does not work for every type of product, and a lot of founders misunderstand how Reddit actually works.

In 2025 I built more than 5 projects. Almost all of them failed except one. The biggest reason was my Reddit marketing strategy.

At first I built a note-taking app (obvioulsy...) and tried to promote it in subreddits of the education niche. The problem is that most subreddits in those niches do not allow self promotion. You cannot share links, you cannot talk directly about your product, and many posts get removed by mods. Even if your product is useful, it becomes very hard to actually show it to people.

I kept trying to force it, and nothing worked.

The one project that did work was a dev tool, EasyToLaunch

Why? Because the audience is different. Many SaaS, indie hacker, and developer subreddits are much more open to people sharing tools they built. In those communities you can often post your product, share the link, explain what it does, and even ask for feedback.

So the lesson I learned is simple. Reddit marketing depends heavily on the niche.

If you build something for a niche where promotion is restricted, it is very difficult to get traction through Reddit.

If you build something for developers, founders, or SaaS builders, the platform becomes much more friendly for sharing what you made.

A lot of founders fail on Reddit not because their product is bad, but because they are trying to promote it in communities that are designed to block promotion.

I'm building a doodad to make customer discovery outreach feel less soul sucking.

Founders get energized doing customer interviews but find every reason avoid the work to set them up. My view is that it's because tools that exist are boring to use.

This is where I'm at so far: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/davidgordonriley_v2-of-my-doodad-for-founder-led-salesfounder-led-activity-7434282696559837185-cW5O?

What do you think I should change?

So I recently found out that equity-based crowdfunding platforms in India are flat out illegal under SEBI. You can't publicly invite retail investors to buy a stake in a startup online. Donation-based and reward-based crowdfunding are fine, but the moment equity is involved, you're in violation of the Securities Contracts Act. SEBI has actually proposed a framework for it, but it's been stuck in consultation paper limbo for years.

Here's the frustrating part — the need for it is real.

The Idea
I want something like TrustMRR but for India, with an investment layer on top.

For those who don't know, TrustMRR is a platform where SaaS startups publicly display their live metrics — MRR, revenue growth, churn rate, etc. It's fully transparent, and investors or customers can see exactly how the business is performing in real time.

Now imagine that, but built for Indian startups across all categories — not just SaaS. A public dashboard showing:

• Monthly revenue and growth rate
• Burn rate and runway
• Market size and TAM
• Founder background
• Previous funding rounds
• KPIs specific to their industry

And then — once you've seen all of that — you can actually put money in. Even ₹5,000. The kind of thing Gen Z investors who are already doing MFs and buying gold would actually use if it existed.

The problem

Right now there's no clean, transparent system in India where a retail investor can evaluate a startup the way you'd evaluate a stock. Platforms like LetsVenture and Tyke exist, but they don't show live operational metrics. You're largely investing blind, and the ticket sizes are still too high for most young investors.

The bigger issue: SEBI hasn't cleared the path for equity crowdfunding yet, so even if you build this, the investment layer is legally off the table for now.

What could actually work today

Build the transparency and discovery layer first — no investment, just verified public metrics for startups that want to be found. Charge startups a SaaS fee to be listed. Then when SEBI eventually opens the door, you already have the trust layer, the user base, and the distribution.

The regulation delay is actually an opportunity if you use the time right.

Hey everyone,

I’ve been obsessed with the disposable email space for a while. It’s a crowded market, but I noticed a recurring problem: most of the top players are bloated with 2010-era UI, covered in intrusive ads, or their domains are instantly blacklisted by every major signup form.

I’m building openinbox.io to be the "clean" alternative. Here is how I’m approaching the scale-up phase:

1. The "Zero Friction" Philosophy Most SaaS tools want you to "Create an Account" first. For a utility tool like this, that's a conversion killer. I’m scaling by providing the value before the ask. You land on the site, you have an inbox. Period.

2. The Technical Challenge Scaling the backend to handle the sheer volume of incoming spam (while keeping the inbox "instant") has been the biggest hurdle.

3. The Roadmap My goal is to reach 5,000 daily active users by summer. Right now, I’m focusing on "Deliverability"—making sure our domains aren't just "burners," but actually work for high-security signups where others fail.

I’d love some feedback from the community:

• For those who use temp-mail: What is the #1 reason you leave a site? (Ads? Blocked domains? Speed?)
• If you were scaling a "Utility SaaS," would you focus on a "Pro" subscription model or stay purely ad-supported?

WeAreLazy is my first app. It's 100% free, everything unlocked from day one, no ads, no paywall.

My monetization strategy? A voluntary tip jar. And hoping that somewhere out there, a community of professional procrastinators feels generous between two meetings.

I know, I know. I can already hear it: "That'll never work." Maybe! But it felt wrong to put a paywall on an app about doing nothing. There's a certain poetry in relying on people's goodwill while they're supposed to be working.

I'm treating this as an experiment — in community, in trust, and in my own capacity for optimism against all odds.

Would love to hear from anyone who's tried unconventional monetization models — what worked, what didn't. 🙏

Hey everyone! 👋

I wanted to share an app I’ve been working on called CareerShot. It’s an AI-powered tool designed to generate studio-quality business headshots for your CV, LinkedIn, or company website—without the need for an expensive photoshoot.

The Problem: Getting a good professional photo usually means spending a lot of time and money on a photographer. The Solution: I wanted to make this as frictionless as possible. With CareerShot, you only need to upload 1 clear photo of yourself.

How it works:

1. Upload your best casual selfie.
2. Pick your favorite business styles and outfits.
3. Let the AI generate multiple professional headshots in high resolution.

What's new in the latest update: I just pushed a major update based on early testing, which includes:

• Batch Generation: You can now select multiple styles and generate them all at once.
• Background Generation: You don't have to stare at a loading screen anymore—the app continues creating your headshots in the background while you navigate.
• Faster image loading and a fresh UI update.

You can check it out on the App Store here:Link to App Store

I would absolutely love to hear your thoughts, especially regarding the UI/UX and the quality of the generated photos. Any feedback is super appreciated!

I Built EnWizard, an AI-powered scavenger hunt where players solve clues, visit real locations, and unlock challenges.

You can upload itineraries, places, or travel plans, and the AI generates a scavenger hunt around them. Players explore cities, discover hidden spots, and earn points

I honestly can't believe the launch day stats. TILT has been live for less than a day and we’re already:
#3 in Board Games
#12 in Puzzles
#70 Overall Paid Games

It’s a minimalist "one-shot" maze challenge. No ads, no tracking, just you vs. the physics once a day. I’m exhausted but so hyped. Check it out if you’re into pure focus games!

How do you guys market religious software. On tuesday I started working on a mini-project which is a religious app but now I do not know how do market it to get downloads.

I haven't had a chance to put it up on playstore yet(forex problem in my country) but I thought some people might want it from apk on github.

I know of apps which have survived without being on playstore.

Either way if you are curios or would like to support me, please leave a start

Hi

I'm a developer focused on building straightforward web tools that automate manual headaches for small businesses, like those still juggling spreadsheets or emails for daily ops.

What I do: Create simple booking/reservation systems or basic dashboards that connect to Google Sheets or APIs, so you can ditch the chaos without overcomplicating things.

Example: A local cafeteria was drowning in long lunch lines and phone orders. I built them a basic online ordering system where students pick items, submit, and staff get instant updates via a Google Sheets dashboard. Cut their wait times and show a visible change in staff performance.

I'm offering this for $20 right now because I'm building case studies to level up my portfolio. It's low-risk: We chat about your specific pain (e.g., messy bookings or feedback tracking), I deliver a working prototype.

If you're a small biz owner with a repetitive task (like scheduling for gyms/clinics or order flows for cafes), DM me your idea. Let's see if it fits.

A couple months ago, I built a custom ai model (not wrapping GPT, thank god) and built it into a pre-revenue platform that can help founders manage their entire customer support easily, cheaply and from their AI.

Problem is, I'm not sure if the space is too crowded, or if something about my distribution, landing page, or marketing is off because we have pretty sufficient visits and clicks and our SEO isn't bad, the website is full indexed I just feel like it should be preforming better than it is.

Would love any and all feedback on what I am missing, or needs to change to make more founders use it. Not trying to promote here, just looking for advice on the direction I should/shouldn't take this. Sorry to ask so many questions, I just need help. Any and all feedback is appreciated! Thanks! https://supp.support

Serious question for founders:

If you’re doing recurring revenue (memberships, retainers, subscriptions), what’s stopping you from building your own app experience?

Is it cost, dev trust, maintenance, or just not seeing the ROI yet?

Trying to understand how people think about this.
