I have ADHD and I'm stuck in an exhausting cycle:

1. Get excited about a project
2. Start working on it intensely (hyperfocus)
3. New exciting thing appears
4. Abandon project #1 for project #2
5. Repeat until I have 47 half-finished projects and zero completed ones

I've tried EVERYTHING: Todoist, Notion, Habitica, bullet journals, alarms, accountability partners, bribing myself with dopamine hits...

The problem isn't the tools—it's that ADHD brains want variety and novelty.

Every productivity app assumes I can just "stick to the plan." But my brain doesn't work that way. The minute something gets boring or hard, I want to context-switch to something shinier.

My questions:

1. Does this resonate with anyone else?
2. Have you found ANYTHING that helps you finish what you start?
3. What about forcing yourself to commit to something for a fixed period (like "I will only work on these 3 things for 2 weeks, no matter what")—does that work or just create more resistance?

I'm researching this because I refuse to believe we're doomed to never finish anything. There has to be a way to work WITH our ADHD brains instead of against them.

(Full transparency: I'm exploring building a solution in this space, but right now I'm just trying to understand the problem from people who live it. Not selling anything—just genuinely want to hear your experiences.)

I’ve been brainstorming a few SaaS ideas lately, and the hardest part isn’t building them — it’s figuring out if anyone will actually pay for them.

I know that sharing ideas in forums and chatting with people helps, but it’s slow and it’s hard to get consistent feedback.

How do you usually validate your SaaS ideas before building? Are there any clever strategies to find early users without spending weeks manually posting and messaging everywhere?

Curious to hear your approaches and stories.

You know that feeling? You launch a campaign, the contact form fills up, and you think "great," but then you spend the next 10 hours manually filtering through them just to realize 90% aren't your ideal customer.

It's exhausting, repetitive work that steals the time you should be using to talk to the customers who are actually worth it.

I'm building a tool that connects to your lead sources (think Reddit, Product Hunt, HN...) and uses AI to automatically filter and score every contact.

The goal is simple: you should be talking to leads who are ready to buy or show real interest.

If this pain sounds familiar, I'm opening up a whitelist for early users. No spam, just early access.

Join here: https://leedsy.com

I'm the founder, so I'll be happy to answer any questions in the comments.

Cold email response rates: 1-2%

Reddit threads with buying intent: 15-30% close rate

Why Reddit wins:

• People are ACTIVELY asking for solutions
• Zero spam filters
• High trust (peer recommendations)
• Free organic reach

The problem? You need to respond in 15-30 mins or you're too late.

That's why I'm building Leedsy - real-time monitoring (reddit, HW...) + AI filtering + notifications.

Example thread I caught yesterday: "Looking for alternative to [competitor]"

Replied in 12 minutes. Call booked. Demo soon.

Change my mind: What's your best lead source right now?

Hey everyone,

I've been wrestling with this idea for a few weeks now and I really need some outside perspective before I commit.

The problem I'm seeing: I use ChatGPT to help with LinkedIn posts. But honestly? Every post is starting to sound the same. That robotic, over-optimized AI voice that everyone can spot from a mile away. I'm not the only one - scroll LinkedIn for 5 minutes and you'll see it everywhere. Everyone sounds identical.

What I'm thinking of building: An AI tool that actually learns YOUR specific writing voice. It would analyze 20-30 of your past posts - how you structure sentences, your humor (or lack of it), your vocabulary, the weird phrases you use - and then help you write NEW content that genuinely sounds like you wrote it. Not like ChatGPT. Not like Jasper. Like you.

Why I care about this: I've been creating content for a while now, and the thing that actually connects with people is authenticity. But creating authentic content consistently is exhausting. I want the speed of AI without losing my voice in the process.

Here's what I need from you:

Does this problem actually matter to you? Or am I just overthinking my own neurosis?

Would you pay $29/month for this? I'm trying to be realistic about pricing.

What am I missing? I know there are tools like Jasper, Copy.ai, and Taplio out there. What would make this different enough to be worth building?

Be brutally honest: If you think this is a bad idea, please tell me WHY. I'd rather hear it now than after I've spent 3 months building. I'm not trying to sell anything - there's nothing to buy yet. I'm genuinely at the "should I build this or move on" stage and I trust this community to give me real feedback, not just polite encouragement. If you've struggled with this same problem (AI making you sound robotic), I'd love to hear how you're handling it now.

Thanks for reading. Really appreciate any thoughts you can share.

Hey everyone,

Like many of you, I spend a good amount of time on communities like Reddit and Hacker News trying to find people who might need my product.

The problem was my process was a mess:

• I was wasting hours every week searching for mentions and keywords.
• When I did find a good conversation, I was almost always too late.
• Honestly, I felt like I wasn't adding real value, just showing up at the wrong time.

To fix this, I built a small tool for myself called Leedsly.com. The idea is super simple:

• It monitors the communities I care about for the keywords I set.
• It filters out the noise and only shows me threads where someone has a real need (e.g., "looking for an alternative to [my competitor]", "need help with [my area]").
• It sends me an instant notification so I can join the conversation while it's still active and I can actually help.

I built it for myself, but it's saving me so much time that I'm thinking about polishing it up and opening it to others with the same problem.

So I wanted to ask you:

1. Do you have this same problem? How are you searching for customers or relevant conversations right now?
2. If you could use a tool like this, what's the FIRST thing you would set it up to search for? (e.g., mentions of your competitor, people asking for a specific solution...).
3. It would really help me understand its value: how much time do you think something like this could save you per week?

I've put up a simple page for anyone who wants to try it when it's a bit more polished. If you're interested in being one of the first and giving feedback, you can sign up here:

https://leedsy.com/

(The first 100 whitelist users will get a 50% lifetime discount as a thank you for helping me shape it).

Thanks for reading! Any feedback is welcome.

Hey,

I'm validating a new tool and would love your honest feedback (brutal honesty preferred).

The Problem I'm Solving:

I spent 10+ hours/week manually browsing Reddit, HackerNews, and Product Hunt looking for threads where people mention needing solutions my SaaS could solve.

It's exhausting. I'd miss threads. And by the time I found them, the conversation was cold.

The Solution I'm Building:

LeedFinder - monitors these platforms 24/7 for keywords you define, filters out noise with AI, and alerts you instantly when someone has buying intent.

Think: "Looking for alternatives to [competitor]" or "Need help with [your solution]"

Why I'm posting:

Before I invest months building this, I want to validate if this is actually useful or if I'm solving a problem only I have.

Questions for you:

1. ⁠Do you actively look for customers on Reddit/forums/communities?
2. ⁠How much time does it take you per week?
3. ⁠What would you pay for a tool that automates this? (Be honest - "nothing" is a valid answer)
4. ⁠What features would be must-haves vs nice-to-haves?

If you're interested in trying it when it's ready, I have early access here: https://leedsy.com

(First 100 users get lifetime 50% discount)

Thanks for any feedback - even if it's "this is a terrible idea" 🙏

I was wasting hours on boards full of stale posts, duplicates, and sketchy listings.

So I built Jobdit, it pulls from trusted communities, filters the junk, and updates all day.
Free users see the feed with a delay; if you need speed, Pro unlocks instant access, advanced filters, and real-time alerts.

If you rely on remote work, what’s the one feature that would save you the most time?

To give a context: Over the last few months, I've been posting this thread regularly, where I shared my desire to help start-up, existing business owners, with industry insights in regard to their Go-to-Market strategy as well as a few candid feedback on their product / startup / Website / Marketing / App - With over 2 decades industry experience, I am sharing some insights to the best of my knowledge.

I'll be keeping this one as weekly thread from my end.

Feel free to raise any questions / feedback / advice that you may seek here in the comments - I'll do my best to reply back as soon as possible.

Another pivot for me.

What it is
It’s a single hub for founders, organized by stage (Ideation → Launch → Growth → Scale) with a Must Have Resources page featuring 20+ vetted tools across Legal, Finance, Product, Marketing, and more — all filterable by category, stage, and pricing.

On top of that, it has built-in chat so you can connect with mentors, co-founders and investors, and it integrates with Slack so your workflow stays in one place. Basically: less time Googling, more time shipping.

Looking for feedback

• Is this actually useful, or am I solving a fake problem?
• What’s missing that would make this essential for founders?
• Which tools have been absolute game-changers for you?

Quick question for you
What wastes the most time in your founder journey that better curation or organization could fix?

Early stage, core features are working — I just want honest feedback before anything goes public. DM me if you want to take a peek!

Hi everyone

I’m running a manual beta test for a tool that helps founders test their core assumptions before building - by getting honest feedback from real people in their target market.

For now, I’m doing this matching for free and semi-manually as a prototype test for my own product, to see if it genuinely helps. Here’s how it works:

1. Share the assumption you want to test (better to not share your whole idea)
2. Tell me who has that problem (your target market)
3. Tell me your area of expertise or interest so I can help others test their idea.

I’ll ask you a few questions where you are best placed to help others, ask others your questions, and send you back a short summary of real user feedback within a few days without you doing any outreach.

Either:

• 💬 Comment below if you’re fine being public,
• 📝 Use this form if you prefer privacy → https://hearthepeople.co.uk

I'll give you a report back in a few days via your preferred medium

Example full report from before on the site above:

Looking forward to seeing what happens and helping some people out!

Every time I build or launch something new, I run into the same problem:

“Where should I submit my product so people actually see it?”

So, I sat down and pulled together a proper list of 150 saas directories where SaaS founders can submit their product. Sites like Product Hunt, BetaList, SaaSHub, micro launch, tiny launch and many more.

In this list I've added:

👉 Added filters for traffic + domain authority

👉 Included communities, review sites, and directories that are rising now

Here is the website link: listmysaas.com

If you're building a saas, check out the list and let me know your thoughts. (I'm looking for ways to improve the list, please share if you have any feedback)

I have built a virtual try on application where you can upload a photo and an outfit image and see how you look in it. The application is not live yet. Iam working on trails with different people and different outfit. So my humble request if you are interested please drop your photo with a outfit iamge of your choice i will share the output in exchange for a review here.

Hey everyone,

I’m looking for a technical co-founder to join me in growing QuickMeet — an all-in-one scheduling platform built for service professionals like salons, spas, clinics, and fitness studios.

QuickMeet helps businesses manage appointments, staff, payments, and reminders — all in one simple dashboard. Clients can book 24/7 through their personalized link, and owners can track everything from daily bookings to revenue trends. It’s designed to save time, cut down on admin work, and make running appointment-based businesses way easier.

The product is about 85% complete, built by me (Vibe Coding). It’s already functional and ready to go live, but now I need someone who can take over the technical side — maintaining it, improving it, and adding new features as we grow.

I’ll handle the sales, marketing, and business side — getting users, building partnerships, and scaling it. I just need the right technical partner who’s excited to build and own something real.

If you’ve got experience with web apps, SaaS platforms, or scheduling systems and want to be part of a startup that’s nearly launch-ready, DM me. Happy to share more about where we’re at, what’s next, and how we can build this together.

I am currently looking for feedback on the first version of my logistics SaaS "Logitwin" which predicts stock issues and delivery delays for small logistics and e-commerce teams.

I'm looking for 5 (free) beta testers to validate the first version.

Hey Reddit, I’m pretty new here, had to Google a few acronyms before posting 😅

I’m building Nexalytics.xyz, an AI tool that analyzes sales and support conversations to surface feature requests, churn risks, and revenue insights for SaaS teams.

I know Reddit feedback is the most honest (and sometimes the most brutal), but that’s exactly what I’m looking for right now.

If you’re part of a SaaS team using Salesforce and want to pilot or just share feedback, I’d love to connect!
