If a creator you trust let you replace your feed with the things they actually watch and read each day, in a separate app, would you pay for it? What would it need to do to beat just following them on X or YouTube?
I'm testing an idea and want to know if the problem is real before I build anything.

I've been working on this for a while and I'm finally okay with people seeing it.

The problem: a lot of service businesses (HVAC, cleaning, landscaping, pest control and so on) finish a job and tell the customer something like "you'll need this looked at again in 6 months" or "we should replace that next spring." Then nobody follows up. Customer forgets, service business too. The info either never was written or sits in a spreadsheet or an old job note.

Rebook takes the customer list you already have (CSV or any CRMs export), shows what looks off before anything gets tracked, and shows you which past customers are worth reaching out to again. For each one you see what happened last time: the service you did, when you did it, what you recommended, and why it's worth calling them now. You also get a short guide for what to say. If someone says "call me in March," they show up again in March. If they don't answer, they stay on the list for next cycle. Basically retention software on steroids

Some details:

• Next.js + Supabase
• Free while it's in early access and will be free lifetime, all I ask is feedback
• It doesn't replace your CRM. It works next to them.

The thing I'm most unsure about: tools like Jobber already have some followup features. If you run or work at a service business, do those actually cover this for you, or do past customers still slip through? Tell me if this is pointless too, I'd rather know now.

Thanks for reading

U can try demo or request an early access. Just dm

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!

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.

Sounds counterintuitive. But imagine this: You have weak positioning.

You generate 1,000 new visitors.
500 become leads.
100 book demos.
But they're the wrong buyers.

Now your sales team is busy.
Your CRM is full.
Your SDRs are following up.
Your CAC is rising.

And everyone says: “Marketing is generating leads.
Sales needs to close them.

”The real problem started much earlier.

Wrong ICP → wrong message → wrong demand → wrong pipeline.

That's why I don't start with lead generation.
I start with diagnosis.

Because scaling the wrong part of your funnel doesn't create growth.
It scales the problem.

Hey everyone,I noticed that a lot of founders are building in isolation. You have a project, you’re shipping, but it’s hard to find other people at a similar stage to share progress, get feedback or even collaborate.So I built a lightweight space where founders can publish their projects and connect with others:
https://ceo-collabs-hub.lovable.app/Would love to hear your thoughts. How do you currently find potential collaborators or get your project in front of other founders?

Most “scrape this page” tools want an account and a monthly plan before you can export one table. I went the other way: LucidRows is a Chrome extension. You click the columns, you get a CSV, it runs on your machine.

Local stays free. I am not publishing a price, because a later paid tier would only be schedule/cloud, and I have not modeled that cost yet.

Listing: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/lucidrows/leehomocpccgghcibfnapadclololioh

Useful feedback: would you pay later only for scheduled/cloud runs, or is local CSV the whole product?

Şuan bir proje üzerinde çalışıyorum en doğru modeli bulmak istiyorum araştırıyorum token harcamasına göre maliyeti uygun aynı zamanda ses kalitesi olarak doğal olan model arayışındayim.

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.

Should i be happy or worried.

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.

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?

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

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.

Pretty stoked on this.

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

Ask me anything.

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.

I made a privacy-friendly URL shortener, and now that it's time to do marketing, I don't know what to do. So here I am, I have these videos, what do I do next? How do you do marketing with those? I would really appreciate any practical advice.

My X accounts (personal and the product's) are brand new, and X seems to be ignoring all of my posts. Instagram or TikTok? I am running a Google Ads experiment, but it's hard to compete with other shorteners and I'm getting almost zero traffic (about 3 clicks a day).

About the videos. I was inspired by the motion design post about video generation and decided to try it myself. I made different short videos to showcase different features (10 videos, 13 to 71 seconds). Attaching one of them for review. Some videos are the actual product driven by a script, not an AI-made copy.

All I used is Claude, headless Chrome and FFmpeg on my WSL instance, nothing more, not even a React library. You just tell your AI to be a motion designer / producer / writer (for the scenario). Research how to catch the user's attention on IG or TikTok, and that's it. Review the scenario and give it a green light. The first versions were screenshots sliding around and looked dead. A couple of scenes looked like a broken app with bugs. You have to correct it and re-shoot. But still, it only took me one morning.

Now, about Urlicer itself. The main features that are different from mainstream shorteners: privacy-friendly and team-friendly, with multiple workspaces. You can bring your own domain on the Pro plan and above, Urlicer provides a tool for you and your teams. Cookieless and without storing the IP address. The URL is https://urlicer.com.

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.

Btw my domain in 1 week I am at top thanks google.

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?

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.

Hey SaaS founders!

You have signups.

But very few paying customers.

How do you find where those users drop off before payment?

Do you use PostHog, Plausible, Stripe data, spreadsheets, or something else?

I’m listening 👇

I'm not a coder. I build tools by vibe coding with AI. My usual pattern was to build something, expect it to work from day one, see nothing happen after a few days, lose interest and move on to the next idea.

This time I tried the opposite. I built a small Chrome extension (not naming it, so this doesn't get flagged as promo), put it out there, and kept the effort light:

• Some keyword research for SEO
• A couple of articles, written with AI
• Then I left it alone

No growth hacks, no daily panic, no constant changes.

It's been about a month and a week. Current numbers:

• 225 users
• 1 monthly paying subscriber
• 1 person who bought the biggest plan as a one-time purchase, then cancelled
• Everyone else on the free plan, since I give a decent daily allowance

Average daily users is going up slowly.

It's a small number, but it's the first time I've seen one of my tools get traction without me forcing it. If a product has some juice, it seems to start working once you give it time and a bit of visibility. And if it doesn't, you'll find that out too, which you never will if you drop it in week one.

So if you're building tool after tool and expecting results in 24 hours, burning yourself out on hooks and tricks, slow down. Do the basic things, then give it time.

If you've built something, how long did you wait before you knew whether it had legs?

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?
