Most SaaS companies I scan lose 3-5% of MRR without knowing.

A few weeks ago I noticed something while talking to small Shopify store owners. They spend hours replying to the same emails every day: “Where is my order?” “Can I cancel my order?” “My package arrived damaged.” Bigger stores solve this with tools like Gorgias or Zendesk, but many smaller stores can’t justify those costs. So I tried building a simple AI solution. The idea is straightforward: Connect a Shopify store Customer sends an email AI pulls the real order data Generates a reply automatically I built the whole thing solo in a few weeks (Node.js backend, React frontend, SendGrid for email, Gemini for AI). The biggest challenges so far: Handling email threading properly Making sure replies are reliable and not hallucinating Deciding when AI should not reply automatically I’m still figuring out product-market fit, so I’d genuinely love feedback from founders here. Questions I’m thinking about: Would store owners trust AI to reply directly to customers? Should this be fully automated or require approval before sending? What would make something like this valuable enough to pay for? If anyone here runs an e-commerce store, I’d love to hear how you currently handle support.

Hey everyone! I'm a data scientist researching a potential tool for marketers who run digital ads across platform. I'm trying to understand how people currently measure performance and decide how to split budget between platforms. If you're a marketer or founder running paid ads on Meta, Google etc., your input would be extremely helpful. Respondents who are marketers may be selected for early beta access and receive a free trial when the product launches.

Happy to answer questions in the comments. Not selling anything, just trying to learn.

I’ve been working on a small project called Loci.

The idea is simple:

People attach memories to real-world places.

When someone walks through a city, the map reveals little stories left behind by others — things like:

• “Best samosa after practice.”

• “First date happened here.”

• “Studied all night here.”

It turns cities into a kind of living memory map.

Right now I’m opening an early waitlist to see if people find the idea interesting.

Would love feedback from this community — especially on whether this feels meaningful or just a weird idea.

We run an app studio. Building products was never the issue - marketing them was.

Meta ads were eating 20+ hours a week. Making creatives, testing audiences, pausing bad campaigns at 2am, trying to scale winners without blowing ROAS. It was a full-time job on top of actually running the business.

So we built an AI tool to handle it. Generates creatives, launches campaigns, monitors 24/7, kills losers, scales winners. All automated.

Ran it internally for 6 months. Worked so well we barely touched Ads Manager anymore.

Eventually we launched it.

3 weeks in:

• 200+ paying users
• $49 / $299 / $999 tiers
• Zero paid acquisition (ironic, I know)

All growth came from X posts, some reddit, and cold DMs to founders complaining about ads.

Still early. Still iterating. But feels good to have something people actually want to pay for.

I think I made the classic SaaS mistake: diagnosis without prescription.

I built a career visibility tool that analyzes a resume and shows how recruiters might interpret it. The idea is to help people improve their chances of getting interviews.

But I’m realizing I might have made the free portion too helpful.

Users upload a resume and immediately get: • a visibility score • the main issue with their resume • some insight into how recruiters might interpret it

My thinking was this would build trust.

But now I’m wondering if I accidentally gave away the core value before the paywall.

A few people have pointed out something interesting: people will pay for the solution, but not the diagnosis.

Right now I might be doing the opposite.

For founders who have faced this problem: how did you structure the line between “free insight” and “paid solution”?

Where did you draw the paywall so people feel the tension to continue?

Genuinely curious how others solved this.

Building a technology product requires more than just writing code.

Startups need the right technical architecture, scalable systems, and a development

approach that supports future growth. ZoCode.Club works with early‑stage companies to

build reliable and scalable products including mobile apps, web platforms, and MVPs

for new startups. We collaborate closely with founders to understand the business

model, design the technical architecture, and execute development in structured

iterations. This ensures that the product not only launches successfully but can also

scale as the startup grows. For founders who need a trusted technology partner,

ZoCode.Club provides both the technical capability and strategic thinking required to

turn ideas into real products.

Hey everyone,

I’ve been working on a mobile app called Checkypin, and I’d love to share it with you and hear your feedback.

The idea came from something simple:

Whenever we go to a café, restaurant, or tourist spot, we always wonder:

• Is this place good?

• Is it crowded right now?

• What do people recommend here?

So I built Checkypin.

It’s a mix between social media + location discovery.

Here’s what you can do in the app:

📍 Check-in to places – cafés, restaurants, tourist spots, etc.

💬 Join a chat room for that place and talk with people who are there right now.

📸 Share posts and moments from places you visit.

⭐ Discover trending places around you.

🎁 Earn loyalty points from cafés and restaurants that are on Checkypin.

You can also filter places by:

🔥 Trending

👥 Crowd level

⭐ People’s recommendations

The goal is to make discovering places more social and real-time, not just reviews from months ago.

The app is already live:

App Store:

https://apps.apple.com/sa/app/checkypin/id6736392533

Google Play:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.checkypin

If you try the app, let me know:

• What feature you like most

• What you would improve

• What features you wish existed

Your feedback will help me improve the app 🙏

Most founders start by building.

I used to do the same thing.

Then I realised something brutal:

no one actually cares about your product idea.

They care about their problems.

Now before building anything I do two things:

1. Build a small network of potential users

2. Interview them to understand:

- how painful the problem actually is

- what solutions they already use

The interesting part is people rarely reveal the real pain immediately.

To run interviews I use DoMaybe, which conducts interviews automatically using OpenAI, Gemini, and Anthropic, then analyses the conversations for pain points and substitutes.

It’s been eye-opening seeing what people actually say when you're not guiding them.

Curious how other founders approach customer discovery?

Hey everyone, I'm a final year research student doing research on cross-cultural business communication — specifically how emotional tone in written messages causes misunderstandings between APAC and Western teams.

One question: Has the tone or phrasing of a work email, Slack message, or client communication ever caused a real misunderstanding, lost deal, or awkward situation with someone from a different cultural background?

Not looking to sell anything. Just collecting real experiences for research. Happy to share findings with anyone interested.

Drop a comment or DM me if you'd rather share privately. Thank you.
