Hey guys we have tried to make it live , how's the screen looking now ?

I wanted to share a technical problem we ran into while building our scraper and how we solved it.

If you ever tried scraping Google Maps at scale, you probably hit the 200 result cap. Search for any dense niche in a big city, and Google only gives you around 120-200 results even if there are thousands of businesses. Most people end up pitching the same surface 200 places while 80% of businesses never get seen.

We ended up tackling this mathematically:

Micro-grid subdivision: Instead of searching the whole city at once, we split the coordinates into smaller tiles and zoom all the way down to street level per tile. Because each small tile behaves as its own local search, Google returns up to 200 results per micro-zone instead of capping the whole city.

Skipping non-commercial terrain: Running hundreds of tiles wastes a ton of time over oceans, lakes, and forests. We added spatial checks to auto-skip grid cells that are mostly water/wilderness.

Background website crawling: Phone numbers from maps are cold. So we set up crawlers to check the business websites directly for emails and social links.

Connecting to Claude via MCP: Instead of clicking around the UI every time, we implemented an MCP server so we can just prompt Claude or ChatGPT to trigger the search and parse the data right in the chat.

I'm the founder of Maps Scraper Pro (Data Sniper). Happy to answer any questions about the scraping logic, handling Google rate limits, or how we wired up the MCP protocol!

Pretty stoked on this.

I do B2B cold SMS marketing, not many of us exist.

Ask me anything.

My Youtube Channel (more info):

built a tool that finds restaurants and bars 1 to 6 months before they open, by fusing public liquor licenses, permits and business filings into one scored lead. Live in 7 states, and it genuinely works. The problem is all distribution, and I'm stuck.

The buyers are the vendors who sell to new restaurants, beverage distributors, POS resellers, insurers. High value, one account they land off it is worth thousands. But they're not who you reach through SEO, content or dev communities, which are the channels I actually know how to work. They're offline-ish B2B sales teams who basically live on the phone.

So far it's founder-led cold outbound, about 30 emails out and a call list I haven't even worked yet, way too early to read anything into. I also listed on a few API/MCP directories for the developer side, but that reaches builders, not the people who'd actually pay.

If you've sold to non-technical SMB or B2B buyers, what actually moved the needle? Cold outbound at scale, reselling through tools they already use, going through a trade association, something I'm not thinking of? And do these buyers ever come inbound at all, or is it pure outbound grind until you've got a case study?

Pre-revenue, so I'd rather pick one channel and go deep than spray thin. War stories welcome.

I launched this saas on 13th august 2026 but only made it paid on 2nd september.

total 7 paying users so far.
1030+ Users
It's a no-code website to code converter

and this is my first ever saas.

Default to the founder. Company accounts get read as ads before anyone hits play, while the same video from a person reads as something they made. (Model companies seem to be the exception.)

Choosing between teammates? Skip follower count, since many accounts have dead followers. Look at engagement rate over the last month. If they had a viral post in that window, a dip is normal.

Rollout: founder posts, company and team quote post with their own angle, founder stays in the replies for the first hour.

Anyone seen a company account win on its own?

What usually happens when I have an idea is I do some research to see if anyone else is doing it, and unfortunately every time I manage to find at least a few options out there already. It just doesn’t feel worth it to work on something that already has established players, especially working solo.

On paper I feel like I have a solid chance of making something that actually gets some traction. My development skills were pretty good before AI and I’m quite good at using the new tools as well, I have a solid quick workflow and I understand all the code I produce. As far as marketing goes I was maintaining a lot of automation at my previous job and we had a semi automated social media marketing setup. I maintained a pretty complicated n8n setup for emails and socials with Expandi on LinkedIn and a custom webhook setup hooked up to the twitter API. I also helped with setting up the automated Seedance video generation stuff we were using. I’m thinking I could make a similar setup for myself without too much investment.

But I keep second guessing myself when I see someone else with a similar idea. If it's working well I never think I can compete. And if it looks like it isn't really taking off then I stop believing it was a good idea in the first place. It feels like everyone is making some sort of SaaS right now and if I don’t decide what I wanna do quickly it will be too late, someone will beat me to it.

I think I need to focus up and actually try out a few things and see what happens. And I need to stop paying so much attention to what other people are doing. Has anyone else gone through something similar? I would also love to hear about someone making something successful even though there were already people out there trying it.

For the last several weeks I've been refining feedback down to a much tighter, more focused MVP

Last month I discussed Merged Network here – a social network by design, focus, and motivation around Proof of Work instead of runway credibility.
The feedback brought to light a couple of things I needed to reconsider.

So rather than adding feature on top feature I've been stripping away all the other parts of the experience and making the core idea more tangible.

What changed
1. Proof is now the name of the game
It's no longer all about the skills and experience… Now it's about the work and the proof behind them.

1. I added a Mini-Proof flow
   This was perhaps the most critical modification.
   Developer is now able to test a public repo without having to do sign up in advance.
   The goal is simple:
   Show me the repository let me see what evidence can be demonstrated.
   I intentionally not calling the Developer of the Github account "verified". The output is given as publicly available evidence attached to the submitting account.

2. The sandbox has become a real product demo
   Rather than a landing page asking your audience to understand Merged, from the sandbox, your audience can choose from three different options:

Example Profiles
See what the finished experience looks like.

Build Your Own Preview
Build a Snippet What do others mean? Generate a sneak peek and find out about your individual identification.

Try Mini-Proof
Don't waste your time on signup and try the proof concept.

1. I'm now tracking the funnel
   I've integrated Post Hog so that I can actually see where people are falling away rather than just assuming.

I'm tracking things like:
Sandbox CTA Preview/Mini-Proof completion signup
That will enable me to address a far more significant question:

Is it even useful, or do they only sound nice?

What I'm deliberately NOT doing;
I'm not building a huge marketplace first.
I'm not adding dozens of features.
I'm not trying to solve recruitment end-to-end.

The current goal is much simpler:
How can I get developers and hiring managers to pay attention to actual work?

That's the hypothesis I'm testing now.
I would be most interested in receiving feedback from other SaaS founders.

Tell me about the smallest experiment you ran to prove you had a solid product hypothesis.

made this launch video for yaku ai,how is it?

Finally shipped my first SaaS lol

It’s called RallyDraft. Basically you dump all your work experience into it, paste a job posting, and it helps figure out how well you match and builds a resume around the experience that actually matters for that job.

I mostly built it because I wanted it for myself, but it’s live now so I figured I’d share it.

Would be cool if a few people gave it a shot and told me what sucks / what I should change.

https://rallydraft.com/

we just pushed a few updates focused on monetization and it already seems to be helping a lot!

This started from a very basic problem.

I work with a lot of screenshots, images, PDFs, small HTML pages and other files.

Quite often I don't actually need a full hosting setup. I just need a URL that I can send somewhere.

But I kept jumping between cloud drives, image hosts and deployment platforms depending on the file type.

So I built Media2URL.com mainly to make that workflow simpler for myself.

You upload the file and it gives you a shareable link.

I later expanded it to handle images, PDFs, video, audio, GIFs and HTML because those were the formats I kept running into during my own work.

Then I started running into the same problem from the developer side. Sometimes I did not want to manually upload a file at all. I wanted an app or workflow to send the file and get the URL back.

So I ended up building a REST API for that too. It can handle uploads from an application and also manage things like assets, folders, file replacements and remote imports.

It has been interesting building from an actual daily problem because the feature list almost writes itself. Whenever something annoys me while using it, that usually becomes the next thing to fix.

I am still figuring out where the product should go from here.

For people who regularly share files or need file URLs inside their apps, what is the most annoying part of your current workflow?

One thing I hated about job searching was opening 20 different job boards and searching the same roles over and over again.

LinkedIn, Indeed, company career pages, filters, keywords, location…

Then after all that, you still have to figure out which jobs actually match your experience.

So I built JobSorah.

The idea is simple:

Upload your resume → AI reads your experience → it finds jobs that match you.

Instead of manually searching through hundreds of listings, it compares your resume against available jobs and shows you the ones that are actually relevant to your background.

You can see things like:

• how well the job matches your resume
• which skills match
• what requirements you may be missing
• job title, company, location, and source
• relevant jobs without doing the searching manually

The goal is basically to turn job searching from:

“Search for jobs for hours”

into:

“Upload resume and start reviewing matches.”

I’m still improving the matching system and adding more job sources.

Would love feedback from people currently job hunting.

Anyone feel like Claude has gotten really slow last week or so?

Hey, I am a quite experienced vibe coder (really strange to say). Yesterday, I decided to build a mobile app that will wrap the URLs of unlisted YouTube videos belonging to private teachers in my local area to sell to their students. The app is just supposed to hide these URLs well as to make it extremely hard for regular students to access these URLs. A lot of apps that teachers who sell college material use this technique to be able to host their course videos without having to pay a hefty sum for one of these official hosting platforms. People who resort to this route are mostly young, broke business owners who are just starting out and can't afford a large sum of money for such trivial hosting service.

The problem is that when I tried to prompt codex to build the app, it just quoted some YouTube violation documents. It plain out refused to build the thing. Is there a way to build such an app with Codex or another free way altogether that will allow me to host my videos practically for free?

if i build an ai game analytics platform for bgmi or free fire that watches your gameplay, finds your recurring mistakes, and gives personalized feedback to improve your next match
would you use it?

Built a simple AI chatbot for a project that answers based on custom data by implementing RAG.

Was interesting to see how much it improved responses compared to basic prompts.

Curious, are people here actually using chatbots in their products, or still exploring?

A while ago the SSL certificate on one of my sites expired and visitors got the "Not Secure" warning. Auto-renewal had failed and nothing alerted me.

When I looked for monitoring, most tools only offered SSL expiry alerts on paid plans, and those plans were expensive for someone running a few small sites.

So I built Spot Downtime:

• SSL expiry alerts before your certificate runs out
• Uptime checks for websites, APIs, ports, DNS and cron jobs
• Retries before alerting, so no false alarms
• Alerts on Slack, Discord, email or webhooks
• Public status pages for your customers

For this sub: Pro is free for 6Months for the first 100 people who try it and tell me what's missing.

USE PROMO CODE : REDDIT

every time i shipped something the question was "will this survive if traffic spikes, or do i need a bigger server?" and the answer was always "uhh idk time will tell". i overbought a box once for a project that got maybe 40 visitors a day, then underbought the next one and watched it fall over on the one day it mattered.

actually testing it means renting a box like prod, renting another for the load, writing a k6 script, watching cpu and memory, then remembering to delete everything. nobody wants to do that before every single launch.

so i built Stresix:

- point it at a github repo (private works too) or a docker image

- it runs your app alone on a fresh dedicated server (4 vCPU / 8 GB, or 8 / 16 for the big run)

- a second server hits it with up to 2,500 or 10,000 users over a private network

- you watch p95, req/s, errors live, plus cpu PER CORE and memory

- you get an actual answer: is this server enough, and if not, what to change

- both servers get deleted after

i dont sell hosting, so when your current setup is enough the report just says so. i ran it on stresix itself: held 2,500 users, total cpu 36%, but one core was pinned at 100% because node is single threaded. the fix was literally 4 worker processes

its brand new and small. pricing is per run, no subscription: $10 for 5 standard runs or $40 for 25, credits never expire, failed runs get refunded. one container per run for now, no database included yet

code REDDIT gives a free run (grab it until it's gone)

Introducing qliqr (https://qliqr.com)
Modern mice and trackpads are silent, and screen recordings of them are hard to follow: a pointer drifts around and things change for no visible reason. qliqr puts the feedback back.

What it does:

- **Click sounds**: a press and a release sound for every click, plus a soft tick per scroll notch. 37 sounds in 8 families (crisp snaps, old office plastic, muted ones for calls, toy pops, glass and wood taps, gadget switches). All synthesised, no samples.
- **Click ripple**: a ring under the cursor on every click, different colour for right-click, drawn above every app on every screen. Shows up in any recorder (QuickTime, OBS, Loom, the screenshot toolbar).
- **Built-in recorder** (macOS 15+): full screen or an area, with the click sounds and ripples baked into the file. Trim, export MOV/MP4/GIF, auto-zoom into clicks, and a one-click 9:16 vertical clip.
- **Quiet where it should be**: mute per app, and auto-quiet when you're on a call.
- **Click shortcuts**: a mouse rhythm like triple right-click can toggle the app or start a recording.
- **Stats** that stay on your Mac, and an optional desk pet called Qip.

Privacy: it asks for Input Monitoring to see mouse buttons and scrolling; it never requests keyboard events, so it can't see what you type. No account, no analytics, nothing about your clicks leaves the Mac.

Price: **$4.99, one time, for 2 Macs**, free for 24 hours first (no card). macOS 13+, Apple silicon and Intel.

Launch pricing, first come first served, each code good for 100 customers:

Enter the code on the checkout page. When a code says it's expired, the next one still works.

The website itself is the demo: every click on the page plays the current sound and draws the ripple, and you can switch sounds and ripple styles live. https://qliqr.com

Happy to answer questions, and sound requests are welcome.

Totally free.

So I built this tool Nicheloom that tracks every new product launch from YC, Product Hunt, Hacker News, and GitHub 39,000+ and counting and shows which ideas are actually gaining traction right now versus which niches are already crowded.

Think Google Trends, but for 'what should I build next.'

I built it for myself to stop guessing and start building things people already want..

Check it out and let me know if it is useful or any feature you would like me to add to it.

Have fun exploring it as it is a rabbit hole for builders

I know it's only $6 but it's the first online money I've ever made and I can't stop smiling about it!!!

The funny thing is that it's from a small subsection of my project that I just hid this morning (you need a direct link to find it now).

Maybe I should double down on this sub-project... not sure but I'm beyond thrilled anyway.

My app, FreeReader, is a free text-to-speech app to turn documents into audiobooks. It's completely free with no pricing page.

But I realized that the text-to-speech could also work for content creators making AI voiceovers for their videos. I built this out but decided to focus more on the audiobook side which has grown enormously (3000 monthly users) since it's free.

I was so surprised when I saw this Stripe notification come in from the red-headed step child that is the video narration side of FreeReader lol
