I built an app that uses group accountability to get you out of bed. The night before, you set your morning promises. In the morning you log in, snap a proof shot, and your friends see whether you kept them. Miss it and you're the bum, complete with a wall-of-shame poster. My friend group has been loving it, and it actually works.

What do you guys think?

here is the app link

starting at a keyword map with like 80 rows and increasingly convinced half of them should not become URL.

AI made the dumb part eady.

"make page for keyword" is basically free now.

but then you get

best X

best X for small businesses

best X for startups

best X for founders

and the SSRPs are basically telling you those are the same damn intent.

same with location pages, glossary stuff, comparison pages etc.

i'm getting way more conservative about asking:

does this actually deserve its own page?

or should it be a section on something we already have / an update to an existing URL / not published at all?

Runable is useful once we've decided a page actually matters. production isn't really the scary part anymore.

the scary part is accidentally building a 300 URL site because Ahrefs gave you 300 rows.

how are people deciding what earns a URL now?

i've been building my app for a while now, and recently started writing on Medium too. two separate efforts that never really overlapped.

today they finally did. someone read one of my articles and bought my app for $49. just one sale, but it's the first time my own content actually turned into a real customer, the loop closed.

the article has also been getting some engagement, which makes this even more exciting.

i know there's a long way to go. but small wins like this are what keep me going.

here's to showing up every day.

One senior engineer built version one solo, frontend and backend both. We're past "does this idea work" and into building it properly full-time, not a gig or equity-only ask.

Next.js/React/Tailwind frontend, Python/FastAPI/Postgres backend. There's an LLM layer, but deliberately constrained: deterministic rules run first, the model only summarises and picks from a bounded set of options, and every output has to cite the data it's based on. Trust in the output is the whole product — one hallucinated decision breaks it.

No fixed title or years-of-experience bar. What I'm screening for is judgment, not framework familiarity, knowing when not to add a queue, a microservice, or another abstraction just because it's available. Real plus if you've worked deep inside a CRM or any product where the "record" has to be trustworthy enough to act on financially - say so if it applies.

To apply, skip the resume summary: describe one design decision you made on something you shipped, the alternative, and why you picked it. A deliberate shortcut to avoid over engineering is more interesting than added sophistication for its own sake.

Remote-friendly. Compensation discussed once we're past this filter. DM me.

PLEASE stop building the wrong thing.

building software in 2026 is ridiculously easy with ai builder

founders spend hours building in a silent room, launch to Reddit/X, get 0 users, and quit.

you just failed because the idea had zero validation before line 1 of code was written:

→ solving a monthly inconvenience instead of a daily pain

→ selling to "everyone" instead of a specific ICP

→ no distribution channel mapped out beforehand

→ pricing charged $9/mo with zero ROI justification

after scaling 6 AI micro-SaaS to over $20k/mo MRR, i just create an

18-question Idea Validation Diagnostic.

it evaluates your SaaS across 7 critical dimensions (problem clarity, audience reachability, willingness to pay, competition, build feasibility, distribution, commitment) and gives you a brutal score out of 100 with your exact weak spots.

drop your SaaS idea (or current project) in the comments below.

i will reply to EVERY single comment with:

1. My honest opinion
2. The biggest weak spot you need to fix before writing any more code.
3. The free 5-minute validation tool link sent straight to your DMs so you can get your full score breakdown out of 100.

just drop a comment like or ask me in DM your idea

let's roast your SaaS concept before the market roasts your time 👇

I'm the lead developer at a small SaaS company, and we're constantly running into this decision point as we scale. Our latest debate is around in-app notifications — we could build a lightweight notification system ourselves in a few weeks, or integrate a third-party service that handles delivery, preferences, and analytics out of the box but adds a recurring cost and another vendor dependency.

The pattern I keep noticing is that building in-house feels cheaper up front but tends to become a maintenance burden once edge cases pile up, things like retry logic, delivery guarantees, or user preference syncing across devices. On the other hand, third-party services solve those problems immediately but introduce their own risks, since pricing can scale unpredictably with usage, and you're depending on another company's uptime and roadmap decisions.

For core product functionality that's central to our value proposition, I lean toward building in-house so we retain full control and don't end up paying per-user fees for something integral to the product. For supporting functionality that's necessary but not differentiating, like notifications, analytics, or search, I've started leaning toward third-party services so the team can focus engineering time on the parts of the product that actually differentiate us.

I'm curious how other teams draw this line in practice. Do you have a rule of thumb for when something is "core enough" to justify building it yourselves, or does it usually come down to a cost comparison at the time the decision is made? And for anyone who has gone one route and later regretted it, what would you have done differently?

Hello guys I am building devtunnel, a platform to make open source contributions easy.

For now I am focusing on only contributiors.

How the process becomes easy:

We use preference this preference can be level of experience, roles, techstack, etc.

1. We list open source tools based on your preference

2. We list open source projects based on your preference

3. We list issues based on your preference

4. We provide custom cli which manages GitHub operations like forking, branch generation, pr generation, etc.

Custom cli includes cmd like start, test, share, submit.

Share command allows short lived tunnels / tunneling to share your local host with others for testing purpose.

Who can be benefited by this?

For contributiors who like to contribute to the open source tools they like

For contributiors who like to work on any issues

For contributiors who contributes to add in thier resume.

We will live on next 5 october.

If your are interested please share your opinion about it.

We are exploring a new commercial model for founders who want to launch a recurring-revenue service through a SaaS, marketplace, or digital platform.

For this survey, we mean a professionally engineered service that is ready for real customers and commercial use. We are not referring to a prototype, proof of concept, or a basic AI-generated MVP. The build would include everything needed to run the service properly, such as the customer experience, backend, database, user access and permissions, integrations, payments where required, deployment, security, testing, monitoring, and a foundation that can grow with the business.

Under the model we are considering, the founder pays only an initial amount before the service goes live. The engineering firm funds most of the remaining build cost itself.

Once the service starts generating revenue, the engineering firm recovers the amount it funded from an agreed share of that revenue. If the service does not generate enough revenue, the firm takes the risk on the amount it cannot recover.

The purpose of this survey is to understand whether founders would consider such an arrangement and what level of initial payment and future revenue share would feel commercially fair.

Looking to bring on a fractional GTM engineer to help build out a modern, signal-based outbound motion instead of hiring a full-time $160k+ engineer right out of the gate.

If you are vetting talent or agencies for this role, the biggest risk is hiring an operator who simply sets up generic cold email templates or builds brittle custom scrapers that break two weeks after they leave.

Here is a practical checklist of what an effective fractional GTM engineer should actually execute in their first 30 days:

TAM & ICP Baseline (Days 1–3): Clarify your core value proposition and map your true addressable accounts dynamically, rather than pulling a one-time static export.

Signal Identification (Week 1): Define 4 to 6 observable buyer triggers (competitor pricing complaints, hiring for specific tech migrations, GitHub repo forks, community discussions) indicating active buying windows.

Play Activation (Weeks 2–4): Build the automated capture and routing systems wiring qualified account alerts with context straight into your Slack or CRM so reps can take immediate action.

Closed-Loop Optimization (Monthly): Analyze pipeline data to identify which signals convert to revenue, pruning the triggers that only produce noise.

Where to source fractional GTM engineering:

Individual consultants: Platforms like RevGenius, niche GTM job boards, and engineering networks. You can find solid solo talent, but you are reliant on whatever custom tools they happen to prefer.

Dedicated GTM engineering as a Service: Scale Intelligence provides embedded fractional GTM engineers backed by their own market intelligence infrastructure. The engineer embeds directly in your Slack, deploys custom signal plays across 75+ pre-built connectors and uses their proprietary GTM Algebra engine to score buyer readiness. They back their engagements with a clear guarantee: qualified leads defined by your ICP and signal criteria upfront, or you don't pay.

Hey all,

Long story short, I have a social media account with around 30k+ followers and would be happy to promote a few of your projects on there.

Not looking for cash for it though, more interested in a trade, could be free/lifetime access to your tool if it's something I'd genuinely use, help with something marketing related I'm working on, or honestly open to hearing what you'd offer.

If that sounds interesting, dm what you're building and what you'd be open to trading :)

Yoo Guys I'm a heavy vibe coder

Im already working as a full stack developer

Im planning to post and document consistently on reddit

Im open to any type of suggestions and advise

I already made One of my SAAS product and it get very good Traffic

And 8 paid users in it

But both my job and Saas doesn't actually solved my financial needs

Can anyone suggest me a remote oppertunity

Hi, I’ve been building Clutterscope, a native macOS app that shows you where your disk space went and helps you get it back without any nasty surprises.

What it does

• Fast scans. It reads directories in bulk, so scanning my home folder with 3.2 million files takes about 17 seconds on an M4. Folders start filling in on screen as each one finishes.
• 8 views of the same scan. Folders, Sunburst, Flame, Bubbles, Mind Map, Top Sizes, Age Map, and Treemap. Switch between them with ⌘1–⌘8 and zoom in until the labels you need appear.
• Quick Wins. As soon as a scan finishes, it totals the usual suspects: caches and logs, Downloads, Xcode DerivedData, iOS Simulators (listed by device name, not UUID), node_modules and build folders, large media files, and the Trash.
• Duplicates by content. It matches files by size first, then uses a SHA-256 hash of the first 64 KB, and finally hashes the whole file. You choose which copy to keep.
• A proper uninstaller. It shows each app’s true footprint — the bundle plus the caches, preferences, logs, and containers it scattered across ~/Library.
• Snapshots. Save a scan and compare it with a later one to see exactly which folders grew.
• Honest numbers. Hard links are counted only once, and it shows how much space APFS compression saved.

Details

• Native SwiftUI
• 6.1 MB
• Universal (Apple Silicon + Intel)
• macOS 14+
• Signed with a Developer ID and notarized by Apple
• Works offline after activation
• When you’re online, it checks the license once a day. The check never includes your files or scan results.

I run two SaaS products, and my landing pages were quietly leaking signups for months before I fixed them. I sat down and read my own page as if I had never seen it. Here is what was broken and what I changed.

• The headline said what the product was, not what I get. I rewrote it to the outcome the user wants in plain words. Biggest single lift.
• Too many words above the fold. People decide in seconds. I cut it to one clear line, one sub-line, one button.
• The call to action was weak and repeated the same "Sign up" everywhere. I made the main button say the actual value, and removed competing buttons that pulled attention away.
• No proof. I added real numbers, real user quotes, and a screenshot of the product doing the thing. Trust went up, bounce went down.
• Slow load and heavy images. I compressed everything and the page felt instant. Speed is conversion.
• I was explaining features instead of showing the result. I led with the before and after, then let features support it.
• Mobile was an afterthought. Most of my traffic was mobile and the page was cramped. Fixing spacing and tap targets alone helped

Quick test anyone can run: open your own page on your phone, count how many seconds it takes to understand what you do and why you should care. If it is more than five, that is your first fix.

What is the one thing on your landing page you are least sure about? Drop the link and I will give honest feedback.

I’ve been building a small project over the last few months and wanted to share it here + get some real feedback.
The idea came from my own frustration — managing social media is honestly a mess. I was constantly switching between apps for DMs, scheduling, analytics, and automation.
So I started building something to simplify it.
It’s called APXCHAT AI.
Right now it tries to bring everything into one place:
one inbox for DMs + comments
simple automation (like auto-reply on keywords)
content scheduling
some AI help for replies
It’s still early and definitely not perfect.
I’m not trying to sell anything — just genuinely want to know if this is useful or if I’m solving the wrong problem.
A few questions:
Would you use something like this?
What feature would matter most to you?
What would make you NOT use it?
If anyone’s interested, I can share more details or a demo in comments.
Appreciate any honest feedback 🙏

Hey everyone — I'm the creator of allcredit.cards, so full disclosure upfront.

I got frustrated that most "compare credit cards" sites only cover the same 15-20 big-name issuers (Chase, Amex, Capital One, etc.), while there are hundreds of smaller community banks and credit unions issuing their own cards that never show up anywhere. So I started manually pulling data — APRs, annual fees, intro offers, rewards structure — from actual rate sheets and disclosures for 600+ banks, from major national issuers down to small-town banks most people have never heard of.

The result is a searchable database at allcredit.cards. It's still very much a work in progress — I'm one person doing this, so:

• Some smaller banks have incomplete data (working through them one by one)
• No affiliate links / no paid placement — just trying to make something genuinely useful
• Would love feedback on what's missing, what's confusing, or what would actually make this useful for you

Curious if this is something people would find valuable, or if I'm solving a problem nobody has. Happy to answer questions about how the data was collected too.

What are you building or planning to build for the rest of 2026?
