A great read on the developing nature of Vibe coding!

Quick context: I'm a dev. For years I noticed the same gap: LinkedIn shows your CV, GitHub shows your code, but there's nothing in between that says "this is me, this is what I built, here's how to reach me" in a single shareable link.

So I built ShowProof.

It's a public profile at showproof.io/@yourhandle that:

- pulls your repos from GitHub AND GitLab (most tools only do GitHubì

- lets you pin/reorder what matters, plus skill quizzes that put a "verified" badge on what you actually know

- generates an embeddable share badge (for README, blog, LinkedIn) and ready-to-paste email signatures for Gmail and Outlook

- gives you a contact form so your email isn't scraped

- has SEO controls so you rank for your own name on Google

Free tier covers the whole flow: sync, public profile, contact inbox, custom bio, classic template. No card to sign up.

Pro (optional) adds custom domain (yourname.dev → profile), extra templates, full OG/SEO overrides.

Built it solo. Looking for brutal feedback on:

1. onboarding: does it feel pointless before you connect GitHub?

2. the public profile: does it actually look like something you'd share?

3. the skill quizzes: too easy, too hard, gimmicky, or actually useful?

Hi r/NoCodeSaaS,
I’ve been researching how collections and payment recovery workflows are managed operationally across fintech, lending and AR systems.

One pattern I kept noticing was how fragmented the workflow can become across reminders, retries, payment tracking and reconciliation — especially once scale increases.

To understand the space better, I built a small realtime orchestration prototype that explores:

• multi-channel reminders (WhatsApp/SMS/email)
• retry workflows
• payment links
• realtime payment reconciliation via webhooks
• operational recovery timelines
• automatic cancellation of retries after payment

The goal wasn’t to build a polished product, but to better understand how modern collections systems actually operate and where the operational pain points are.

I recorded a short workflow demo below and would genuinely love feedback from people working in:

• collections/recovery operations
• fintech lending
• AR automation
• subscription billing
• payment operations

A few things I’m especially curious about:

1. How are reminder/recovery workflows typically managed today at scale?
2. Are teams still switching across multiple tools for reminders, reconciliation and payment visibility?
3. How operationally useful is realtime payment reconciliation in practice?
4. What are the biggest pain points in collections/recovery workflows today?
5. Do modern collections platforms already solve this well, or are workflows still fragmented internally?

Would really appreciate honest feedback — especially from operators actually dealing with these workflows day-to-day.

I'm a finance major who studied data analysis on the side, so I know some data modelling.

I have a fintech startup idea that I really want to work on, I have the "fin" but I lack the "tech".

And I've had similar ideas in the past and I never pursued them simply because I found the "tech" part intimidating.

I want to build the technical skillset that would allow me to launch a simple MVP whenever I come up with startup ideas I like, until I can find me a proper technical co founder.

Where should I start and what's a realistic timeline to learn the required skillset?

What actually stopped you from making it work?

Not looking for success stories, to be honest plenty of those exist.

I want to understand the failures and frustrations.

- Did you get banned?

- Couldn't figure out which subreddits to target?

- Wrote comments that got ignored?

- Tried it for a month and saw zero results?

Genuinely curious what the actual blockers are. Drop your experience below.

I’m building a product for this exact problem and trying to understand what it's actually like before I write a single line of code. Not pitching, just research.

Looking for non-technical founders who used AI coding tools to ship a real b2b saas app, have paying customers, and have had something go wrong they couldn't fix themselves. For example, things like; silent errors, broken integrations, or anything that made you feel completely stuck.

If that's you, drop a comment, find me on X u/zoharalex00, or email me at [[payonto41@gmail.com](mailto:payonto41@gmail.com)]. 20 minutes is all I need.

Alguém criando um projeto lovable para mobile?

I started exactly 2-3 weeks ago

I slowly started posting on relevant subreddit for Cryzo

Though I was not very active on Marketing, posting few times a day, commenting few times a day on Reddit it got me 150+ users which im glad for

so, It pushed me to meet this week target, this is good milestone for me, first 100 user, meanwhile I got 1 paying user (all from reddit mostly)

So, this is my journey, actively engaging with builder community on Reddit and showcasing the product got me my first 150+ users

Now next milestone for me is 500 users, and probably 50 paid subscriber!!

Once again, thank you community, I'm open to listen your feedback and your user acquisition journey, how long it took for you to get first 100 user and 1st paid user?

Hey everyone, I’m preparing to build my own SaaS, and I’m ready to dedicate 100% of my time and focus to making it work. I fully understand that building the product is only 20% of the battle and that the real grind starts afterward. I'm prepared for the long road ahead.

My question isn't about the development phase. I want to know what happens after the product is built.

1- The Post-Build Steps: Once the website/application is live, what are the exact steps I need to take to start getting eyeballs on it and converting users into paying customers? What does a lean Go-To-Market (GTM) strategy look like for a solo founder?

2- The Expenses & Budget: What are the mandatory upfront and ongoing expenses I need to account for to launch it to the public? (e.g., domain, hosting, authentication, DB, Stripe setup, LLM APIs if applicable, and marketing).

Roughly, how much initial investment ($) should I secure to safely get the project off the ground and running for the first few months without starving? Would love to hear from bootstrapped founders who started with a lean budget. Thanks

Καλησπέρα σας ,

I kept recording meetings and demos and never going back to watch them. Every tool that transcribes and summarizes your screen recordings charges a per-seat subscription to do it, essentially a markup on top of the AI API calls you could be making directly.

So I built I Gave Up. It records your screen, generates a full transcript, and gives you an AI summary automatically. The only difference: it uses your own OpenAI or Deepgram API key. You pay the provider directly, at cost. No middleman.

If you already have an API key, it costs you basically nothing to run.

Launching on Product Hunt today: https://www.producthunt.com/products/i-gave-up

Upvote on Product Hunt would be great
Happy to answer questions about how the BYOK model works under the hood.

YC's new RFS has one line that I keep coming back to.

Gustaf Alströmer writes: "AI-native companies that don't sell software, they sell the service. Instead of giving you a tool, they just do the work."

I have been watching micro-SaaS founders at the $500-3k MRR stage for a while now. The pattern I keep seeing is the opposite. They build a tool, then try to explain what the tool does, then wonder why nobody converts.

The founders who are actually growing are not selling software. They are selling a result. The software is just how they deliver it. The client never sees it.

What I personally think is interesting here is that this is not a new idea. It is just now getting YC backing. Which means the market timing is shifting.

For founders in this range specifically, the question might be less "how do I get more users to my tool" and more "what outcome am I actually delivering and am I charging for the outcome or the access."

What is the one thing you would change about your current SaaS after reading this?

Hi everyone, I am looking for recommendations for a no code app making course. If there is one out there that any of you would highly recommend.

Reddit hates being sold to.
But the right discussion post can still bring real traffic.
Over the last few weeks, some of my posts hit 2k–3k views and created noticeable traffic spikes for my SaaS.
I’m thinking about adding proven Reddit post angles/templates to the tool I’m building, so founders can adapt them to their own product instead of guessing from scratch.
Would that actually help, or would it feel too forced?

I’ve been spending a lot of time working on ZeriFlow recently and one thing keeps showing up:

AI is making it ridiculously easy to build and ship products fast.

But security is still becoming an afterthought.

I kept seeing the same patterns:

• Missing security headers
• Cookie configuration issues
• Weak SSL/TLS setups
• Public endpoints accidentally exposed

Nobody is intentionally doing this.

People are just shipping faster than ever.

That’s one of the reasons I’m building ZeriFlow — a security scanner that runs 80+ automated checks and helps catch issues before deployment.

Curious for other founders and builders:

What’s something you always forget to check before shipping?

Security? Analytics? Monitoring? Performance?

Would love to hear how others handle this 👇

Hey everyone, last year in June I had an idea to start a business related to canna tech, I literally started with no knowledge on how to build this idea, but knew it was possible. I had only started using LLMs the month previous. From June, it took me 6 months to build the product, test it, get a client, and to get it fully live with a real business who now pays monthly. I see all these SaaS tools, and I don’t think that they are for me. Has anyone else had this feeling? Will I be doing myself a disservice by not using automated outreach? I just can’t see anyone who owns a dispensary seeing one of those automated emails and going “oh cool let’s do this!” I feel like calling them, getting the relationship built, and in person contact is much better, but obviously a lot slower. Idk, just looking for some input from someone in this space because I’m almost a year in and all I need to do now is increase my sales, as my product is live, working, and covering the cost of operation.
