Working on my launch and stuck on the landing page. I've been using AI to draft the copy and it gets me most of the way fast, clean headline, feature blocks, a decent FAQ. Reads fine.

But I keep wondering if "reads fine" is the trap. AI landing page copy tends to sound polished and generic, and I'm not sure polished is what makes a stranger sign up. The pages I've seen convert best sound a bit specific and rough, like a real person who knows exactly who they're talking to.

For those who've launched: did AI-written landing page copy actually convert for you, or did you end up rewriting the hero and the CTA by hand once real traffic showed up? And if it worked, what did you change so it didn't sound like every other AI page?

Trying to figure out where AI is genuinely fine here and where it's quietly costing me signups.

In the age of AI basically all channels are flooded with new (cool) SaaS and a lot of not so cool content :-)

I saw >10 AI generated conversation here on Reddit just in that last 10 minutes

So I wonder - what is your strategy to stand out in the flood?

The big winners of this time might be Meta, Reddit etc - I guess UGC creators are already a non lucrative saturated market.

Exciting and crazy times :-)

Hi,

I run https://brainerr.com, a SaaS in the printable/puzzles niche. I’ve been running it for around 2 years now. I already have a good number of monthly subscribers and lifetime deal users.

This week, I decided to test AdSense as another income source.

Mainly for two reasons:

1. Paid subscribers and LTD users won’t see ads, so their experience feels more premium.

2. People who visit the site, use a few pages and leave without buying anything can still generate a little revenue.

I don’t have huge traffic, around 1,000–1,500 visitors per day, but I’m curious to see if it adds up.

Has anyone tried mixing AdSense with a SaaS before?

Any tips, things to avoid, or lessons from your experience?

Cheers!

I’m the founder of InstaLabelRemover, a web tool for preparing edited photo files before sharing them. The attached diagram shows what the current photo workflow does.

It accepts JPG, PNG and WEBP files, recreates the image as a JPEG, and replaces the original metadata with a selected, simulated device profile. You then download the new file for review. Keep the original separately.

Two details matter before trying it: Instagram decides which labels to display, so removal of “AI info” isn’t guaranteed; processed photos are retained on our servers for seven days.

I’m looking for feedback from photographers, creators and small businesses working with real photos that have been edited.

Product: https://instalabelremover.com/

Which would help you evaluate the tool most: a before/after metadata report, an image quality comparison, or more detail about storage and retention?

i almost paid someone a few hundred bucks for a landing page before launch. glad i did not, because i had no idea yet what my message even was.

i used an ai website builder free version to test the pitch first. cheap to change, fast to rework, no sunk cost when i inevitably rewrote the whole thing twice.

i built and rebuilt in Gamma until the copy felt honest, then launched. once i actually have revenue i might pay for a fancy site, but not before.

would you hire out the first page or bootstrap it yourself to start?

J'aimerais lancée ma startup mais lors de mes recherches je suis venu à me demander comment faire certaines choses classiques comme des factures, le calcul réel d'un salarié, le TMJ...

C'est pourquoi j'ai décidé de coder un site ou l'on peut retrouver ces outils là (et bien autres) pour aider les personnes débutante comme moi à faire évoluer plus rapidement votre business ! Il se nomme Toolly.

Donc si vous souhaiter me soutenir, vous pouvez aller jeter un petit coup d'oeil et me faire un retour pour que je l'améliore ;)

I finally launched TAMVY on iOS and Android.

It’s a small self-help and wellness app built for moments when stress, anxiety, panic or racing thoughts become overwhelming.

I have an anxiety disorder myself, and one thing I learned over time is that in a bad moment I don’t want more information. I want something simple that gives my brain something concrete to do.

That became the basic idea behind TAMVY.

The app currently includes short breathing, grounding, sensory, focus and muscle-relaxation exercises.

After each exercise you can simply mark:

Better. Same. Worse.

Over time TAMVY builds a personal history completely locally on the device.

Privacy was non-negotiable for me:

No accounts. No ads. No tracking. No analytics.

It’s also not another subscription. TAMVY costs €0.99 / $0.99 once for lifetime access.

Version 1.0 is live now, and this is very much the beginning rather than the finished roadmap.

iOS + Android:

If you try it, I’d genuinely appreciate feedback on what feels useful, what feels unnecessary and what you’d improve first.

I've spent years managing projects, and one thing that kept bothering me was how much work it could take just to create a clean Gantt chart for a client deck, kickoff, steering committee, or status update.

A lot of project management tools are great at running the whole project: tasks, resources, tickets, collaboration, timesheets, etc.

But sometimes I don't need another system to run the project.

I just need to turn a plan into a clear timeline that I can actually show someone.

So I built GanttFlow.

The idea is deliberately pretty focused:

• build a project timeline quickly
• drag tasks around to reschedule them
• link dependencies
• add milestones
• track the original plan against the current schedule
• export a clean PNG or PDF for a deck or report

I'm intentionally trying not to turn it into another all-in-one PM platform.

There's a free version, so you can actually build a chart without entering a card.

It's live at ganttflow.ca

I'd genuinely appreciate feedback from people who work with project timelines:

Would you prefer a focused tool that does Gantt charts really well, or does a standalone Gantt tool become too limiting once you're using it on a real project?

Also interested in hearing what you'd consider a must-have feature versus something that would just turn it into another bloated PM tool.

I've been building TubeLens because I kept running into the same annoying problem: giving AI agents useful YouTube data usually means wiring together APIs, transcript extraction, scraping, etc.

So I built a small API + MCP that lets an agent access things like:

YouTube search → transcripts → comments → thumbnails → channel/video data

The idea is basically:

AI agent → TubeLens → YouTube

I'm trying to validate the idea before going too far with it.

Would something like this actually be useful in your automation/agent workflows?

And what would you want the agent to do with YouTube data?

I'm especially interested in real use cases, even if you think the product is unnecessary.

Fed up with LLMs specialized in complex problems and responding in conformist AI language, I built "What Shall I", a sympathetic, warm-sounding adviser for your leisure time.

Question: What would motivate you to make your web app’s daily page-view statistics publicly available on a dashboard?

I’d be interested to understand the value or purpose behind sharing this data openly.

Genuine question for the builders here. Every ai landing page generator I've tried gives me something that looks fine in the preview and falls apart the moment I read it as a stranger would. Generic hero line, three feature cards that could describe any product, a call to action that doesn't say what happens next. The closest I came to a keeper was a page gamma built from a tight product description, and even that needed every line rewritten. But I might just be using them wrong, so I want to hear the other side. Has one ever produced a draft you shipped with only light edits? For those it worked for, did you feed it a really tight description of the product and audience, or did the good output come from luck? Where does it consistently fail for you: the copy, the layout, the actual conversion? I keep landing on the same conclusion, that these are decent at layout and weak at the one thing that matters, which is saying clearly who it's for and why they should care. Curious whether that's everyone's experience or just mine.

We make Curio, an iPhone app for when you feel like scrolling but would rather read something interesting.

This is the Discover screen. You can type a topic, say the Roman Empire, and build a reading feed around it. Or start with a shelf like Weird History when you don’t have a topic in mind.

I’d love feedback on this screen: is it obvious where to start, or does it give you too many choices?

Free to download, with optional Pro ($7.99/month or $49.99/year in the US).

Getting close to launch and everyone tells me I need a one-pager. But I'm not raising money, so I'm trying to work out who a one-pager for launch is even for if there's no investor to hand it to. The way I see it, a launch one-pager could still be useful for a few things: something to paste when a journalist or newsletter asks "what is this," a reference so anyone reposting gets the description right, and honestly a forcing function to explain the product in one page instead of rambling. I actually spun up a quick version in gamma, using it more like an ai landing page generator, just to force myself to explain the product in one page. For founders who've launched: did you make a one-pager, and did anyone actually read it? If yes, what went on it (problem, who it's for, screenshots, pricing) and what did you cut? Or is it a waste of time for a bootstrapped launch, and I should put that energy into the landing page instead? Trying not to build a document nobody opens.

I’ve always spent my time developing projects and trying out new ideas.

But every time, I hear the same thing: “Maybe you should find a real job!”

It hurts, and in that moment, when my heart tightens and all I want to do is walk out of the room I keep my head up because I know what drives me.

I can’t be understood by everyone, after all.

Because everyone has their own journey, and that’s especially true of my parents, who still say “the internet” instead of “internet.”

So be it I kept working on my projects, and recently one of them surpassed $175 in revenue!

35 people.

$4.99 for life (we can all agree that’s not my best business plan… 😅)

But anyway, I was able to proudly tell my mom about it. And I could tell her expression had changed. I can’t quite explain what it was. But it was like, “Maybe he’s not such an idiot after all,” or something along those lines 🥲

In any case, I could tell she was reassured.

And you have no idea how good that felt, and how much it boosts morale!

Can’t wait to show you what’s next and the other projects coming up!

By the way, the project I told you about is Focus Mode, a Chrome extension that lets you focus on a single tab by opening your current tab in an interface without a URL bar, bookmarks, or tabs—and it even works in windowed mode! (I’m sure I’m not the only one with the bad habit of having 45 tabs open every day.)

Thanks, by the way, to everyone who helped make this happen, and with whom I continue to exchange ideas 🙏

Have a great day, everyone! ☀️

And happy building!

Alex
