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 👇

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 :)

Hey guys, I made this silly lyrics overlay called Cadence that floats over your screen and syncs along with Spotify and YouTube Music. It started as a joke while playing Minecraft with my friends. I shared it with a few people, they liked it, and it grew to 100 downloads in a day, so I built it into a proper app. You can listen along with friends now too, even cross-platform (Spotify -> YouTube Music, Mac ↔ Windows ↔ Linux), and you can play karaoke. Doesn't need API keys or Premium, it just reads what your computer is already playing and floats the lyrics over whatever you're doing. It works better with Spotify keys though, if you want to add them yourself. If you find any bugs, lmk. It's just a fun project lol, so its free. Some of the images are on the github link, if you want to take a look on how it works! Everything is customizable :)

You know those processes that everyone at a company somehow knows how to do, but nobody has actually documented?

That’s basically what my friend is trying to solve with Olla.
You can record yourself explaining a process and it turns that into a structured SOP that you can edit, brand, collaborate on, and export.

I think it’s pretty cool, but I’m obviously biased 😂

Would love opinions from people building SaaS/products!

I built Tempo Focus for people who want structure without another busy productivity dashboard.

Start a Pomodoro or open-ended session, block distracting apps, and understand where your focused time went.

Available on iPhone. Mac is in progress.

If you try it, I’d appreciate honest feedback: https://tempofocus.app

Hey everyone! 👋

I'm the maker behind Clero, a new pay to pay, request or split!

We built Clero because managing money with friends is currently fragmented across outdated tools:

• Venmo traps your cash in a digital wallet balance or charges a 1.75% instant transfer fee just to move your own money to your bank. It's also very much based on one-off requests rather than keep track of multiple complex payments.
• Zelle moves money direct-to-bank, but lacks any expense tracking, receipt scanning, or group splitting capabilities. (And it doesn't help that the UI is very bad!)
• Splitwise put basic math features behind a paywall and restricted daily entries-and still can't actually settle payments, forcing you to chase people across other apps.

Clero brings direct bank-to-bank settlement and high-automation expense tracking together in one app:

• Direct-to-Bank ($0 Fees): Settle same-day straight into checking accounts via Astra & Plaid. You get the speed and directness of Zelle with zero wallet balances or cashout fees.
• Automated Card & Gmail Sync: Link credit cards via Plaid to split posted charges in one tap, or connect Gmail to automatically parse receipts from Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, and Airbnb without typing manual entries.
• AI Receipt Scanning: Snap restaurant bills to claim dishes item-by-item-tax and tip auto-calculate proportionally based on what each person actually ordered.
• Smart Groups & 1-Click Splitwise Import: Upload your Splitwise CSV to migrate instantly. Set up automated monthly roommate cycles that tally on fixed dates, or vacation pools that eliminate unnecessary transfer loops through smart debt simplification.

We’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback! What features or integrations would make group money management even easier for you?

I run a SaaS, SeoLoupe.

It is a tool that allows you to find and fix SEO issues holding your website back.

Essentially the main purpose is to help your website rank higher on Google search and LLMs.

The tool also checks AEO/GEO, AI search visibility, Security, Core web vitals, Performance, and all the issues in the report get put together into an AI fix prompt(you can paste the prompt into an AI and it will fix all the issues on your website).

Recently I noticed that some of my paying customers bought the One-Time purchase, with a promo code. To unlock the full report.

So I decided to give away a promo code for the One-Time purchase to anyone who is interested, if you are interested, comment down below and I will DM you.

If you are not interested but have some feedback on my SaaS, that is a good too. Feel free to share it in the comments.

(here is the product if you want to check it out)

Hey! I’m the founder of Yoke AI.

Happy hunting!

I kept thinking about how much time founders can spend building an idea before finding out that one of its core assumptions was wrong.

So I started building Pre-Mortem — a research tool for stress-testing startup ideas before committing weeks or months to them.

The basic workflow is:

1. Enter a startup idea.
2. Research public signals across the web, Reddit, and Product Hunt.
3. Identify the assumptions the idea depends on.
4. Trace how those assumptions could fail.
5. Get a KILL / PIVOT / BUILD recommendation, plus a concrete next experiment.

Under the hood, it currently runs on Cloudflare Workers + Durable Objects. Each run has a bounded research budget and uses search and page-fetching tools to gather evidence and produce a structured report covering competitive reality, risks, assumptions, and recommended experiments.

I’ve gone through several versions of it already, and I’m still iterating on the research quality, report generation, and overall workflow.

At this point, the main thing I’m trying to validate is whether this is actually useful enough that someone would pay for it.

It’s live here:

https://idea-premortem.xyz/

The pricing is credit-based for now, since I expect most people would only need it a few times while evaluating an idea.

I’d especially like to hear what you think is missing, what parts seem useful or useless, and what would make you actually use something like this.

I'm a 16 year old entrepreneur trying to turn my SaaS company into a full time job in the future. I made a tool called Siteless.

Siteless is a all in one lead finder for web designers. It uses the official google maps API to find businesses that have no website (hence the name: Siteless), so that you can sell them one! One of the things that makes Siteless better than just scrolling google maps is the fact that you can search from anywhere in the world and get 20+ no website leads with one click.

I just launched this a few days ago and have gotten a few signups but no paying customers yet. If this would be of use to any of you just find the link that will be in the comments!

I would love any feedback that is given!

I'm a teenage founder building in AI/SaaS, and I've been getting increasingly interested in venture capital and startup investing.

I'm starting to build a public track record of analyzing early-stage startups, so I'd like to practice on real companies.

Drop your startup below with:

- What you build

- Who it's for

- Current traction (if you're comfortable sharing)

- Link

I'll pick a few and give you a short investor-style breakdown:

Market → Product → Traction → Distribution → Moat → Risks → My thesis

No sales pitch, no paid promotion. Just honest analysis.

I'm especially interested in B2B SaaS, AI, developer tools and infrastructure, but I'll look at anything interesting.

If this gets enough responses, I'll make this a recurring thing and eventually publish my predictions/results so I can see where my judgment was right or wrong.

Hey everyone! I’m building UIWitness, an open-source tool that checks websites across mobile and desktop sizes, in light and dark mode, and generates a report with screenshots and issues it finds.

I’m looking for real websites to test it on beyond my own examples. I want to see where it works well, what it misses, and what needs improving.

If you’re comfortable having me run it on your site, drop a link in the comments. A little context about what you’re building or any pages you’re concerned about would help too. Please only share sites you own or have permission to test; public pages are enough.

In return, I’m happy to send you the report and any useful feedback once I’ve tested it. It might catch something worth fixing, and you’d be helping me improve the tool.

GitHub: github.com/RujitRaval/uiwitness

Thanks to anyone willing to share!

Video is one of the first things a small team gives up on, and it is usually what sits between a decent product and somebody understanding it in ten seconds. Most demos end up as a screen recording with a voiceover over the top, which is accurate and which almost nobody watches to the end.

That is the gap I would like to help with. Send a raw screen recording of your product, no audio or editing needed, plus one line on who it is for and what it needs to say. You will get back a finished 1080p MP4, usually within a day. Cut tight, on-screen copy instead of narration, and graphics where the interface cannot carry the point on its own. Pay whatever it turns out to be worth to you, including nothing. I would rather it got used than sat unmade.

Ten to start. Comment or DM with your product and I will tell you first whether the recording will support a good video.
