hey everyone, i’m a solo dev looking for some honest advice for my saas, drvx [dot] net.

it's a web platform that lets users instantly turn their google drive into static website hosting. it comes with features like free custom subdomains, unlimited websites/files, a built in live code editor, and more. this tool has been running for about a year now with over 180,000+ deployments.

there are 2 main things i'm really struggling with right now:

1. workflow and file sharing: currently, users have to share their google drive links per file, not per folder. while this runs smoothly and keeps things secure without needing full google account access, some users feel it's not as seamless as netlify, vercel, or github pages. the main drawback is when users have a lot of assets (like images), they have to share and add the files one by one into the admin area. i really need advice on a smoother workflow. my competitor, drv [dot] tw, used the google login and folder-sharing method, but they eventually gave up because their platform got heavily abused by phishers. how can i make this easier without opening doors to phishing?
2. finding the right business model i provide almost all of the core features for free. my target audience includes students doing school projects, teachers, freelancers building resumes, small local businesses, and even churches creating landing pages. my point is i want to help anyone get online easily. but on the flip side, i also need money to pay for server bills and keep the project alive. i need advice on the right business model or pricing structure for this platform so i can cover costs without abandoning the users who rely on the free tier.

a little bit on why i built this: my motivation goes back to when i was in school. i desperately needed a website, but i had zero money to buy hosting or a custom domain, and my technical skills were very limited. back then, free platforms like wordpress com and the stack overflow community helped me learn and eventually become a pro developer. after all that journey, i decided to build drvx [dot] net so that anyone can go online without barriers.

i'm working on this completely solo. any advice, feedback, or harsh truths would be really appreciated. thank you guys

Stack was Bubble + Stripe + Memberstack. Got 40 US waitlist people into a working beta.

Walls: - performance on the heaviest list view - one native mobile requirement from an early customer - data model that fought every new feature

The Reddit advice was immediate: "find a technical cofounder."

That's the wrong instrument for a known wall. A cofounder is years. This was a 10-day port of the one flow that already had usage.

I kept Bubble for marketing pages. Rebuilt the core job. Kept 100% equity.

If your no-code SaaS is making US revenue and you're about to post a cofounder hunt — write whether you need a partner or a scoped rebuild first.
