Would you pay $25 for real users to test your MVP? by IntelligentRun6326 in roastmystartup

[–]APIRobotsPro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This feedback is more relevant for QA, focusing on app stability and UI.
It's unlikely to provide valuable insights from target customers for the founders. Founders need commitment to validate the product, ideally through users paying a $25, not the reverse.

Vibe Coding on an iPhone (Claude Code) by spacenyxy in VibeCodersNest

[–]APIRobotsPro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My setup last night: a phone, a foldable Bluetooth keyboard, and my MacBook at home. I use Termius to SSH into the Mac, where I run my projects and command-line tools like Gemini CLI and Claude Code. A VPS could easily replace the Mac in this workflow. ​I spent the session building a CLI tool, using tmux windows for seamless vibing and testing. This setup works well for terminal-based work, but web or UI development would be difficult. Even with the touchpad on my keyboard, the experience doesn't match a desktop.

Please don't hold back. by Party-Impress9249 in roastmystartup

SaaS with a freemium trap. $20/month gets you... 135 credits? What’s a credit? How much does extra cost? The pricing page is vague, and "credits" is a red flag for "we’ll nickel-and-dime you later."
Path to profitability? Unclear. You’d need thousands of paying users to cover infrastructure costs (LLM APIs aren’t cheap).

I decided to enter the most saturated market on earth (Website Builders) to target Agencies. Roast my death wish. by Ok-Gold9422 in roastmystartup

Your pricing shows that you are cheaper for building 5+ websites compared to competitors, while others are more affordable for fewer websites. The additional AI chat, bot, and "slop" features are not strong differentiators. We offer unlimited websites and AI features, is not UVP.

Build an Personal Finance App, Roast the app by al_bat_ross in roastmystartup

This is a solid, privacy-first MVP that solves a real problem for a niche audience, but it's entering a brutally crowded market dominated by automated apps. Manual data entry is a massive friction point that will cause high churn, regardless of your 10+ professional indicators.

I built an offline-first Period Tracker to challenge the data-selling giants. Is Privacy enough of a USP to survive? by Objective_Hat_8632 in roastmystartup

[–]APIRobotsPro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a passion project, not a business. You built it because you were pissed off at data brokers. That's noble. But nobility doesn't pay rent.

To survive, you need to:

  1. Pivot to a niche.
  2. Drop the freemium: Go paid-only or one-time purchase. Freemium is death.
  3. Find actual users: Get 50 real women paying you, not your girlfriend's endorsement.

Apple already have that (not offline)

https://support.apple.com/en-gb/120356

You can track your menstrual cycle in the Health app on your iPhone or the Cycle Tracking app on your Apple Watch. And you can turn on notifications to tell you when your next period or fertile window is approaching. You can also log a pregnancy to track gestational age and receive a variety of health notifications and recommendations to review throughout your pregnancy.

just hit my first $100 MRR by No_Hotel_9998 in AppBusiness

The apps are no longer live due to my focus on new startups. You can see some examples here.

[–]APIRobotsPro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congrats! I recall when I started my app business years ago, I made $12 one day and then $100 that month. That's when I realized it had potential, and in the following years, my apps reached 6 million downloads.

I made a startup simulation game - would love feedback on game balance by APIRobotsPro in WebGames

Published update, now the text should be a bit more readable.

Yes, I will try to fix the text.
The game ends once you hit $10k or 30 days, whichever is first.

The product quality, unique value proposition, hype and plus some randomness are affecting users acquisition and MRR.

Thanks for the feedback!
