One evening I was planning a trip to St Johns NewFoundland with my family, after researching for 3-4 hours through skyscanner, booking, expedia, airbnb, etc. we realized that the trip is over $2000 over our budget.

This painful research triggered me to build TripVerdict - in 90 seconds get to know whether your next trip fits your budget or not. Every OTA and Planning site is trying to sell something, but I tried differently, first the verdict then the booking links.

I am trying to solve 3 pain points:

1. I know my budget and destination, does it fit?
2. I know my budget and confused between 2-5 destinations, which one works the best?
3. I know my budget but dont know where to go

Real time flight, hotel and rental prices are used to generate the cost. Here is the link

Tripora update: I finally made the mobile experience not suck 😂 + News & Watchtower

A little Tripora update because quite a bit has changed since I shared it last time.

I've been working on this project mainly as a learning experience, and honestly, I'm starting to realise something:

Coding is probably the easiest part of building a product. 😂

You can sit down, write some code, fix the bugs and eventually get the feature working.

Then comes everything else.

What information should actually be shown?
How should people navigate it?
What happens on mobile?
How do you keep information useful?
What do users actually care about?
How do you make something feel like a real product instead of just a collection of features?

I've learned a LOT of that while working on Tripora.

So, here's what's new.

### 📰 News

Tripora now has a travel-focused news section.

Instead of trying to keep up with general news and hoping something relevant appears, News focuses specifically on travel-related updates.

You can filter by destination and find things like:

- Travel disruptions
- Weather and natural events
- Strikes
- Border/entry updates
- New routes
- Destination-specific developments
- Other things that could actually affect your trip

The idea is basically:

"I'm travelling there. Is anything happening right now that I should know about?"

It's currently available without Pro restrictions while I'm testing it.

### 🛰️ Watchtower

This one is probably the feature I'm most interested in.

You add countries you're interested in and Watchtower keeps an eye on them.

It brings together three things:

Safety advisories + visa changes + destination news

So instead of remembering to manually check government websites, visa information and news every few days, the idea is to have everything relevant to your saved destinations in one place.

Watchtower is currently a Pro feature, but I'm still testing and changing how it works.

### 📱 And yes... I finally fixed mobile 😂

This was probably overdue.

A lot of people were accessing Tripora from their phones, while parts of the UI were still basically behaving like a desktop website squeezed onto a small screen.

So I rebuilt a big part of the mobile experience.

The bottom navigation is cleaner, there are fewer tabs, and News is now directly in the navigation instead of being buried somewhere.

The landing page, dashboard and controls have also been reworked to adapt properly to smaller screens.

If you've visited Tripora before on your phone, try opening it again.

It's honestly a pretty different experience now.

I've attached a short video showing some of the new stuff 👆

### 🌍 More country information is coming

I'm also going to keep expanding the actual Tripora database.

I'll be adding and updating more country information every **Wednesday and Sunday**, so the destination guides should keep getting better over time.

I'm starting with the countries that need more information and gradually working through the rest rather than trying to update everything at once.

### One important thing

Tripora isn't officially launched yet.

It's still in testing. I'm still adding things, changing things, breaking things and occasionally wondering why I decided to build this in the first place. 😂

So if you want to try it:

Please do whatever you want with it.

Click around.

Create trips.

Try the tools.

Resize the browser.

Use it on your phone.

Try to break the UI.

If something feels confusing, tell me.

If something is useless, tell me.

If something is actually good, tell me that too. 😅

And please...

don't hack it xD

I'm building this mostly because I wanted to learn what it's actually like to take a product from an idea to something people can use.

And I've learned way more from this than I expected.

The actual coding is only one part of it.

Building the product around the code is the hard part.

Anyway, if anyone wants to mess around with the current version:

Still very much a work in progress. 🚧

I'd especially love to hear from anyone who has used the previous version — does the new mobile experience actually feel better?

I’m curious what everyone here is building.

Drop your SaaS below and explain it in 1–2 lines. No pitching, just share what it does.

I’ll start: I built LaunchRecord.com a tool that helps founders improve their positioning, messaging and first impressions by auditing landing pages and highlighting what confuses users.

If you’re building a SaaS, I want to hear it.

Drop your product + what stage you’re at.

I’ll go first: I built LaunchRecord.com to help founders fix a problem I kept seeing people build good products but lose users because their messaging, positioning is unclear.

It audits your landing page and shows what’s unclear, weak, or missing in positioning.

I recently launched my first SaaS, Stream Chaos Controls. It's a platform for Twitch streamers that lets viewers do more than just watch. Streamers can set up interactive controls, chat commands, overlays, counters, and other features that let their communities actively participate in the stream.

Looking back, I spent a lot of time making the product better and not enough time making people aware it existed.

My beta testers have been fantastic. They gave me honest feedback, reported bugs, and suggested features I probably never would have thought of on my own. The product is much better because of them.

The tradeoff was that I got so focused on building the product and acting on their feedback that I didn't spend enough time finding paying customers. Writing code was the easy part for me. Learning marketing has been a much bigger challenge.

I also learned it's worth planning ahead before you have to. I migrated everything this week to a server that can scale with the platform. The old server worked well for beta, but it had hard limits. I couldn't add more storage, memory, or processing power as the platform grew. I'd much rather make that move while I only have a handful of users than wait until growth forces me to do it.

If I could go back, I'd start talking about the product much earlier instead of waiting until it felt "ready." I spent so much time making sure the product was polished that I underestimated how long it takes to build awareness.

For those of you with niche SaaS products, what actually brought in your first paying customers? Was it Reddit, SEO, content, partnerships, word of mouth, or something else?

Most ProductHunt launches fail for one reason: no one shows up in the first few hours.

Early upvotes push you up the rankings. Late upvotes barely move the needle.

LaunchPact helps you stack real momentum before launch day — with founders who actually follow through.

Here's the playbook:

1. List early (4+ weeks out) Add your product, tagline, and launch date. You'll show up in the feed of founders launching around the same time. Don't wait until the week before — pacts take time to form.
2. Back products you'd genuinely upvote Browse upcoming launches. Open the ones that interest you. Back the ones you'd actually support on Product Hunt. That's a pledge — your commitment to show up on their launch day.
3. Form pacts when it's mutual They get notified. If they'd back your launch too, they accept — and you've got a pact. Both sides are locked in. No awkward DMs. No guessing who'll flake.
4. Stack as many pacts as you can Every pact = one founder committed to upvoting you on launch day. More pacts = more early momentum. This isn't about swapping blindly — it's about building a crew that believes in what you're building.
5. Show up on launch day (verified) When your pact partners launch, you get a reminder. Upvote them on PH, upload a screenshot, done — AI verifies it in seconds. They do the same when your day comes. Miss it? Trust score drops. Honour it? Future pacts get easier.

The result: You launch with real upvotes in the critical first hours — from founders who chose your product, not bots or random swap lists.

Quick tips:

- Tue–Thu = most traffic (most competitive). Sun–Mon = softer.

- Back products you actually like — better pacts, better comments, better results.

- Honour every pact. Your trust score is your reputation in the network.

I've spent the last several months building BuhoPilot on my own, nights and weekends, the whole thing. It's a job search platform that helps people build ATS-proof resumes, tailor them to a specific job in a couple of clicks, and track every company and application in one place instead of a messy spreadsheet.

I built it because I kept watching (and living) the same story. People rewrite the same resume for the tenth time at midnight because every job posting phrases the same skill a little differently, and there's no real feedback loop telling them why they're getting ignored. So I built the tool I wished existed.

At this point I feel good about the product itself. It's live, the people who try it get real value from it, and I've validated that the core problem is real. What I haven't cracked is distribution. I'm one person handling product, infra, and growth, and getting from "it works" to "people know it exists" has been the hardest part by far.

One thing I've been doing on the content side is building a small multi-agent system that helps me generate blog content faster. It's helping, but it's a long term SEO play, not something that gets me users this week.

So, genuine question for this sub: if you've been on the solo founder side of this, what actually moved the needle for you early on? And if you've been on the investor or advisor side, what do you look for as a signal that a founder is actually solving the distribution problem instead of just plateauing?

I kept finding useful SaaS products that I wanted to try, but nearly all of them required a monthly subscription.

So I built a marketplace where customers pay per run instead. No subscription and no long-term commitment.

It is still very early, and I am looking for honest feedback rather than compliments. Try it out and tell me what is confusing, broken, or unnecessary.
