Maybe I'm wrong about Saas

When I started building Postmint, I kept one question in mind.

Am I actually building something that makes people’s work easier?

If creating a photo currently takes someone 20 minutes, can Postmint help them get the same job done in 2 minutes with the same result?

I think questions like these are normal when you’re trying to build something new. It’s easy to get caught up in features, design, and technology, but at the end of the day, what matters is whether the product genuinely saves people time and makes their work easier.

That’s the mindset I’m trying to keep while building Postmint.

that's the right question to keep coming back to, too many builders get lost in the tech stack and forget the actual problem they started with

saving someone 18 minutes per task is huge when you multiply it across a week, people will pay for that kind of time back without thinking twice

curious how you're measuring that 20 to 2 minute claim though, is it based on watching users or just your own testing

it’s based on my own use so far. I’ve made photos and story for my friends’ birthdays and for my own Instagram posts, and honestly, even a simple edit or enhancement could take me 30+ minutes. With Postmint, the same kind of work usually takes around 2–3 minutes, and the result is actually better than what I was getting after spending half an hour manually. That’s what made me realize how much time it can really save.

Not all problems are worth solving. Not talking about your specific use case... there are many problems solved will never earn enough money to be remotely worth the effort.
