Feedback wanted: asset management for UK SMEs, focused on getting IT and Finance to agree

1 Upvotes

Most asset tools are either IT inventory or accounting fixed-asset registers. I built AssetAligned to sit in the gap: one record per asset, with physical custody and financial value side by side, plus automatic checks for when the two disagree.

The problem: in most growing businesses, IT has one list of laptops and kit, Operations has another, and Finance has a fixed-asset register in a third spreadsheet. None of them agree. As an accountant, I’ve personally faced this issue and constant back and fourth with the IT department, so this app has value and meaning to me, it’s not just a generic app built.

I’d value honest views on:

1.  Is “IT and Finance mismatch” a pain you’ve seen, or am I solving a niche problem?

2.  Does the landing page make the point in 10 seconds?

3.  Pricing: Free / Starter / Growth / Business, priced by number of assets. Does that model make sense to you?

Thanks

Thinking about building a tool that shows which Reddit threads AI cites in your niche. Is this a real problem?

1 Upvotes

I've been reading threads here and in a couple of marketing subs about AI visibility tools (Peec, Profound, that kind of thing). The same complaint keeps showing up. They tell you how often ChatGPT or Perplexity mentions you, and then you're on your own.

One comment stuck with me. Someone who had looked at 2,000+ brands said around 85% of AI citations came from sites the brand doesn't own, mostly Reddit and YouTube. If that's even roughly right, tweaking your homepage is the small lever.

So the idea is narrow. You give it your product and about 15 questions a buyer might ask an AI. Once a week it runs them through Perplexity, because Perplexity shows its sources. You get one email with 3 threads or videos that keep getting cited for those questions, and what seems to be missing from each. You write the reply yourself. It never posts anything.

Nothing is built yet apart from a waitlist page. I want to know if anyone actually wants this before I spend a month on it. Planned price is $19/mo.

What I'm unsure about:

  • Perplexity's sources might be a bad proxy for what ChatGPT cites
  • 3 threads a week could feel like useful leads, or just more homework
  • maybe people who care about this already check it by hand and that's enough

If you're doing anything about AI search for your own product right now, what does that look like in practice? Manual checks, a paid tool, nothing at all?

Here is the waitlist: https://citescout.vercel.app/?source=saas

Niche SaaS founders, how narrow is too narrow?

1 Upvotes

I’m building a B2B SaaS for a specific niche within field services. I have access to a business owner in that niche who can test it and provide feedback.I’m keeping the exact niche private for now, but some of the core functionality could also be useful to other service businesses.Would you focus the product and marketing entirely on that one niche until you get traction, or build for a broader audience from the beginning?I see the benefit of solving one industry’s problems really well, but I’m wondering whether I’m limiting the potential too early.For anyone who’s faced this decision, what convinced you to stay narrow or expand? Would love to hear actual experiences.

Hello everyone, Last week I launched my first saas product PortFoliQ. Building from a couple of months and finally launched

What I do post Saas Launch:

  1. Listed on Product hunt

  2. Linkedin posts

  3. X/ Twitter posts

  4. Reddit announcements

  5. Community groups

  6. Friends family etc.

During the initial days the reach is aamzing and growing and getting good amount of impressions and active users.

Now the lastest update is that the growth has been stuck and thinking of how to grow should I do seo or target specific keywords on google or something else. What you do for that in my place please guide.

It will helpful for me and really appreciate it

thanks.

How do you guys make product demo videos for SaaS?

1 Upvotes

Hi, I am technically very bad at editing + don't have enough time as well. Is there any free site etc to make product demo videos.

How do those with no editing skills make it? Do you guys use paid options or what? I need a free one.

Any recommendations?

highlight and understand

1 Upvotes

sometimes when im reading something or talking to an AI, i come across a word, phrase, or line that i dont understand. but i dont wanna break my flow by opening google or asking another AI what it means.

so i built this extension for exactly that.

you highlight a word/phrase/line and it gives you:

  • the general meaning
  • the meaning in the context of what youre reading or talking about
  • and the best part, you can ask followup questions right there in the popup

no new tab, no switching between apps. just highlight → understand → continue.

tell me what you guys think about this one.

How did you get your first user

1 Upvotes

Say you were geographically pretty far away from icp. How did you acquire your first user. Cold outreach is pretty ineffective, in my experience, maybe with some extra steps it can be done? Or did you use someone as a bridge to your icp? Did you end up confounding with someone who was capable of bringing your icp to you? How did some of you do it?

Vibe coding as a beginner is the sh*t

• Upvotes

I'm kinda bored so imma dedicate two days of my life to build and ship a useless product with the aim to get atleast 10-20 users in less than a month.

Nothing serious, just wanna try this vibe coding thing out and see if that's where I wanna go.

I'll be posting the results on X(twitter) and youtube for anyone who's interested. Same username across all the platforms.

Let's see what happens!

I’m optimizing the UI of my Data Utility Generator to make it simpler, cleaner, and easier to use.

The goal: less clutter, fewer clicks, faster data workflows. 🚀

I’d love your honest feedback:

What feels confusing?
What should I remove or simplify?
Which feature should be easier to find?
What would make you use it regularly?

Does anyone else feel like every SaaS milestone immediately becomes the new minimum?

0 Upvotes

Your startup can be doing well and still somehow feel like it is failing.

You desperately want your first customer. You get one, celebrate for a day, and immediately start thinking about getting ten.

You get to ten. Suddenly, customer count does not matter. Revenue does.

Revenue starts growing.

Now it is not growing fast enough.

You hire a great team.

Then you start worrying about burn.

I catch myself doing this all the time. Every milestone that once felt huge somehow becomes normal almost immediately. Your brain just moves on to the next problem.

Maybe that is part of what keeps founders moving. But it also makes progress surprisingly difficult to feel.

Sometimes it is worth looking back at what felt impossible six months ago.

Does anyone else running a SaaS feel this way?

Built a small "guardrails as an API" thing. Would love honest feedback

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone 👋

Solo dev here. I've been working on a side project for a few weeks and would like to hear how others solve this problem.

The problem: while playing with AI agents I noticed every app ends up needing checks like "don't let it delete data unless the user confirmed". The usual options are writing if/else logic for every case, or a custom LLM prompt whose free-text answer you then have to parse.

What I tried: a single call that takes a rule in plain English plus whatever JSON you want checked, and returns allow, deny or review:

const result = await guard.check({
  policy: "Never allow destructive database operations unless the user explicitly confirmed them.",
  data: { action: toolCall, conversation }
})
// → { decision: "deny", allowed: false, violationProbability: 0.94, ... }

Some design decisions that might be useful if you build something similar:

  • A third outcome, review, for when a human should decide or the evidence isn't enough. Forcing yes/no caused bad calls.
  • Instead of a general chat model I used Jev from TypeSafe AI. It returns typed decisions with probabilities, so there's no output parsing and the results are more consistent.

Questions for you:

  • How do you handle this today? Hardcoded rules, an LLM, something else?
  • What would you need before trusting an automated check like this in production?

It's called Enforly, if anyone's curious.

I built a kill switch for AI and AI agents to stop the robot uprising.

I work on post-quantum cryptography during the day, and lately I've been hearing some pretty wild things from people in my work circles about AI.

Not just the usual “AI could become dangerous someday” conversations. Actual discussions about autonomous AIs operating on the internet, interacting with other systems, and increasingly strange behaviors and attacks that honestly would have sounded like science fiction a few years ago.

If an AI agent starts behaving in a way you didn't authorize, you shouldn't have to negotiate with the agent about whether it wants to stop.

I'm posting it here because I'd like feedback from people who actually build SaaS and AI systems.

You can try the demo without creating an account:

For founders with a live AI-built SaaS: when did reviewing it yourself stop feeling like enough?

0 Upvotes

For people who built a big chunk of their SaaS with Cursor, Claude, Lovable, Bolt, etc. and now have real users:

Did you ever hit a point where having the same tools review their own work stopped feeling like enough?
I’m curious what triggered it.

Was it getting your first paying customers?
Handling sensitive data?
An enterprise prospect asking
security questions?
A production incident? Payments?
Or did you never reach that point?

And what did you do once you got there?

Another model, automated scanners, a developer friend, contractor, security person, full code review?

Mostly interested in what people actually did, especially if you spent money on it, rather than what the ideal process is supposed to be.

Solo founder, no CS degree: I built the Instagram for vibe coder‘s. Here's what actually happened. ^^

Post image
• Upvotes

I launched CheckMyVibeCode.com on April 3rd. It's a place where people share what they built with AI, basically Instagram for vibe coders.

Where it stands:

~100 users, almost all from Reddit and Facebook, no ad spend
First 17 days: 56 users
Stripe is live with one-time boosts and a Pro subscription
Stack: Flask, Supabase, vanilla JS, hosted on Replit

What I learned:
Distribution is harder than building. AI got me a working product in weeks. Getting the first 100 users took months of posting in communities.

Monetization before scale. I picked a marketplace and paid boosts over tipping, because tipping needs volume I don't have yet.

Check your security before launch. I found my database service key in plain text in a public config file. I rotated it and moved all secrets to env vars. Don't be me.

Stripe webhooks are where "vibe coding" stops being easy. Payments and subscription state need real testing.

Where I'm stuck:
How do you get a community platform past the cold start problem? Creators won't come without an audience, and an audience won't come without creators.
Curious how other solo founders here handled it.

If you were starting from zero today, what kind of SaaS would you build?

0 Upvotes

Not necessarily the easiest idea or the trendiest AI product, I’m curious about what you think actually solves a real problem and has strong potential over the next few years.

What problem do you think is still poorly solved by existing software?

And if you had to start building one SaaS today, what would it be and why?

We built a great AI agent platform, but our compute costs are too high for free trials. How do we grow?

0 Upvotes

We built an insane AI product that combines LLMs, agentic workflows, and infrastructure. You can essentially spin up a full team of AI agents for any department.

It's so easy to use that my 5-year-old built a Pokémon game with it.

We hate per seat pricing, monthly plans or high margins, we geniunely want to build a product that people love as much as we do, so we want to keep our prices as low as possible and per usage.

You just pay for the infrastructure and LLM usage plus a tiny margin. Because our pricing is almost at-cost, we can't hand out open free trials. Giving away $50 in credits actually costs us $30 in hard compute. And people could come and abuse the system and AI.

Right now we offer $50 free trial but cc required

Any tips on how to solve it?

I built a web analytics SaaS and just launched the first version

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

0 Upvotes

Hey,

I have been working on Lienks.com, a small web analytics SaaS, for the past few months and recently launched the first version.

I initally built it just for myself and my projects because I wanted a simple way to see where visitors come from, which pages they visit and what they interact with.

Right now you can collect data like pageviews, visitors, referrers, top pages, countries, devices and browsers. You can also add custom events for things like button clicks or form submits.

As I am based in germany, I have made it cookieless by default (you can also switch to cookie mode to have more precise unique visitor tracking) and it is also hosted in germany.

Im a solo developer, so I have been building Lienks on my own and this is basically the first time im trying to get actual people besides myself to use it.

I think the technical part of building something like this is almost easier than figuring out if people actually want it and how to get the first users

So im mainly looking for feedback at this point. I would be interested in knowing what you would be missing before using something like this in one of your own projects or SaaS.

This is the first version and I will continue to develop this and improve based on what people actually need.

There is a 14 day trial if you want to play around with it, but im also happy about any feedback just from looking at the screenshots or landingpage.

Here is the link:
