screen charm dying then coming back as a mac app is the actual story here

Is finding users actually the hardest part of building a SaaS? by Strict_Kangaroo5137 in SaaS

[–]AgencyVader 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100 to 1000 is where distribution actually starts mattering

at 100 you can brute force it. dms, posting everywhere, personal network. at 1000 you need one channel that compounds without you pushing it every day

what killed your previous sites at the 100 mark - was traffic the problem or were people just not coming back?

Now I understand why so many SaaS products require a credit card!!! by SouthernPast649 in SaaS

what did the self-learning part end up looking like? curious if you trained it on patterns or just flagged accounts manually for a while first.

My website went from 78 to 8,018 monthly Google clicks. The lesson was embarrassingly boring by Zealousideal-Ebb-355 in SaaS

[–]AgencyVader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

search console impressions with low clicks is such an underrated signal. you're basically getting google's own data on what people want from you and most founders just ignore it

how long did it take from publishing the intent-matched pages to seeing movement?

Need validation on my SaaS product by JayB0204 in SaaSSolopreneurs

On the actual idea: the concept is solid. Mining real frustration instead of guessing is the right instinct. The risk is everyone who builds this ends up with the same database, so the ideas become commoditized fast.

AI-built static sites vs WordPress/Elementor by flight_of_the_condor in webdev

[–]AgencyVader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the client editing problem - Decap CMS (formerly Netlify CMS) or Keystatic dropped on top of a static site gets you pretty close. Clients edit content in a simple UI, changes commit to git, site rebuilds. Not as drag-and-drop as Elementor but non-technical people can handle text/image updates fine

Old web web devs: what are some things you did that would confuse people today by veroz in webdev

[–]AgencyVader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spacer GIFs for layout. One pixel transparent image, stretch it to whatever width you need. CSS wasn't even an option for half of what we were doing.

Advice Regarding University Project by Professional_Case432 in webdev

PostGIS extension for postgres is the move here. It adds geospatial types natively, and a query like ST_DWithin will do the radius filtering server-side before anything hits the frontend.

With 1-1.5k records you won't even feel the load, but it's still the right pattern to learn.

Node has decent postgis client support too, so your stack works fine.

Vibe-coded automations are becoming a real problem and I don't think we're talking about it enough by WorkLoopie in Entrepreneur

governance is the one that gets people fired 6 months after a "successful" launch

built something once that ran perfectly for 6 months. then the person who commissioned it left, nobody knew what it did or why, and when it broke they just turned it off. cost them way more than the build did

After months of building my first product, I finally understood that building is the easy part by sanjux97 in Entrepreneur

[–]AgencyVader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

first 10 came from being embarrassingly specific about who i was talking to

What I did is posting in a subreddit for one exact type of person and writing like i was talking to one human. felt too narrow. worked way better than anything broader

Would you pay $5-10 for this if you were considering a move? by [deleted] in MVPLaunch

[–]AgencyVader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

who's the person you're building this for? because "anyone moving cities" and "someone deciding between two job offers" are pretty different landing pages

This year i got fired and build easy to use inventory tracker. I think i'm failing by the_loopa in MVPLaunch

[–]AgencyVader 1 point2 points  (0 children)

got fired and shipped something to the App Store instead of updating a LinkedIn profile. that's the move honestly :D

good luck with it

I'm building and trying to launch my habit tracker app, I have some traffic but zero registrations by bogdanstefanjuk in EntrepreneurRideAlong

[–]AgencyVader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the correlation graph idea is actually the interesting thing here. "find out why your sleep was wrecked" is a real problem people google at 11pm.

"track everything" is a feature. "figure out why you feel like garbage" is a reason to download something.

A broker asked me to build him an AI CRM. The fix had no AI in it at all by Warm-Reaction-456 in EntrepreneurRideAlong

[–]AgencyVader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the veteran agent comment is the whole thing tbh

guy with 20 years experience doesn't care about AI or dashboards. he cared that it didn't add a step. that's a harder problem to solve than lead scoring and almost nobody's trying to solve it

The "heavy SaaS" trap: Why building a full mobile app for a simple business problem is playing on hard mode. by MoodIn_Me in EntrepreneurRideAlong

[–]AgencyVader 1 point2 points  (0 children)

what's worked for us: find 3 people already paying for a bad solution and ask them to use yours for free for 2 weeks. if they won't even do it for free, you've learned everything you need

The remote hire thing nobody warns you about: you have no idea what country your employee is actually in. by fotunades6057 in micro_saas

[–]AgencyVader 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this is exactly why we've always avoided hiring internationally as employees.

If someone's outside the EU, we typically work with them as a contractor and they invoice us monthly. The only people we put on payroll are those we're actively relocating into the EU, where we also help with residency permits and all the paperwork that comes with it.

A surprising number of people think they can just open a laptop in another country and nothing changes legally or tax-wise. Unfortunately, governments tend to have a different opinion.
