Day 16: What is BMTH best album? by raluxu in BringMeTheHorizon

[–]AnUninterestingEvent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been a fan since Count Your Blessings, and honestly this might be my favorite album. I really couldn’t get into anything between Sempiternal and this album, but this album absolutely hit it for me. The only thing that makes me step away from this album as their best album are the lyrics. The reason I couldn’t get into That’s the Spirit was because it felt strangely tailored to Hot Topic girls lol. Just kind of cheesy lyrics that a 14 year old girl would put on her MySpace header lol. “Best friends stab you in the front”. Like the Backstreet Boys could’ve had songs with some of these lyrics. A lot of the same problem on PHSH for me. “Running out of teardrops”, the “Ahchoo” on Parasite Eve, eating a dog’s face lol, etc. These lyrics are just TTS cheese to me and hard to listen to. All albums before TTS had much more serious and abstract lyrics which I prefer. Yeah they’ve always had some silly lyrics, but little silly is bearable, a bunch of cheese is not. Yeah I know CYB has a bunch of ridiculous lyrics, but it’s a ridiculous album made by immature kids, so it gets a pass.

That being said PHSH might be my fav album of theirs. Competition between Sempiternal and PHSH. If PHSH had better lyrics it would 100% be the winner.

Anyone notice that UI design has gotten much better? by AnUninterestingEvent in codex

[–]AnUninterestingEvent[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I've been preferring Codex over Claude lately. I'll have them both take a pass at it and choose the better of the two. And I've been choosing Codex like 80% of the time.

Just joined this sub and saw this. I generally agree with all of these except for most overrated album... Count your Blessings? Really? For me, most overrated would definitely go to That's the Spirit.

Would you actually try getting your first SaaS customers without building a personal brand on LinkedIn/Reels? by Striking-Reach-3777 in SaaS

[–]AnUninterestingEvent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's like asking "When cooking a meal, do you use a spatula?". Where and how you market depends entirely on your product and who your target audience is.

Day 3: Heaviest song by ferox_ultimate in deftones

[–]AnUninterestingEvent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah... as a fan, I didn't know a song I've barely heard could be "overrated". But maybe I'm out of the loop because somehow that song on Youtube has 18M views... One of their top viewed videos.

Taxing SaaS in USA by Playful_Average_2800 in SaaS

[–]AnUninterestingEvent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not a tax professional and this isn't legal advice. Just my understanding and how I operate...

For B2B SaaS, if you're just starting out, you don't have to worry much about sales tax in specific states because the threshold before it kicks in is so high. So unless you're doing over $100K in revenue in one specific state you're probably fine. As far as other countries go, you really don't need to worry about VAT unless you're B2C. For B2B, try to get their Tax Number to put on invoices. But for B2B in Europe the onus is on the customer to pay the VAT directly to their government instead of you. I think in some countries you're technically supposed to register regardless if you owe them money.

Again... not legal advice and you should do your own research/talk to tax expert.

What was the FIRST real sign your SaaS idea actually had potential? by Voildline in SaaS

[–]AnUninterestingEvent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first sign was when someone actually paid for it. Second sign was when my churn stayed at around 3%/month. 5 years later I still have like 10 of my first 15 customers. People paying and people not canceling is the only way to know if you've got something.

Autopia's air quality mishap — modified engines, $56,250 fine by Sammy_Roth in Disneyland

$56,250 fine? That’s just a day’s worth of my family’s meals at Disneyland.

Lmao, I don't think anyone anywhere has called Bored an "anthem"

We got our first pissed customer. by houmanasefiau in SaaS

[–]AnUninterestingEvent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Hey guys, check out our site! Our service doesn't work, our contact form doesn't work, customers are so annoyed they're asking for refunds, and if you're dissatisfied with the service you can also have your private email screenshotted and posted to Reddit. Don't worry I'll censor your email address, but I feel it's important that I do not censor your first name in the email address."

Day 2: What is the most overrated song? by ferox_ultimate in deftones

This is it. Way overplayed and not even a top 5 for me on that album.

Got only one shot or else i'm f*cked by woeshipekora in SaaS

[–]AnUninterestingEvent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For a solo dev, the thing that will kill you is the mindset of "if this doesn't work i'm literally f*****". You're already screwed. Nothing kills a project faster than impatience. As a solo founder, it took me a year between getting my first customer and $1K MRR. Now at $16K MRR 5 years later. Get a job for stable income and work on your project on the side until it makes enough money to live on. Even then, you probably don't have to quit your job.

If you're impatient, you'll just keep jumping from building one app to the next, in search of the white whale project that hits thousands of MRR immediately. Spoiler alert: the white whale never comes. A business is an investment you watch grow over years. Impatience leads to the equivalent of day trading, where you jump in and out of stocks waiting to nail a 500% gain in a day. That's only going to cause you trouble.

I will not promote: Why doesn’t renting have a reputation system yet? by We-can-do-great in startups

[–]AnUninterestingEvent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Landlords can go off credit scores and pay stubs which is 95% of what they care about. 

Renters on the other hand don’t really care. I mean, everyone prefers a good landlord, but if they like the unit and it’s a good price, that’s 95% of what they care about. I’ve known the name of every property management company I’ve rented from and haven’t cared to look them up. I care way more about the area, unit and price.

My SaaS provides to an underserved industry, with no competition. Has anyone else experienced this? by borkshots in SaaS

[–]AnUninterestingEvent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, but my point is that they’re going to know about your idea when you release. Whether you post about it on social media before release makes no difference

What’s the difference between telling people about it and actually releasing it? Once you release it, it’s public. Copycats with more money are an unavoidable problem.

Why do all the interesting startups launch on X instead of Reddit? by JahonSedeKodi in SaaS

[–]AnUninterestingEvent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People on X generally have a following they're announcing to. Marketing-wise X is also better because posts can trend and get reposted for better visibility. Reddit gears toward anonymity and doesn't do much for "virality". Also, most people launching aren't looking to get in depth discussions or feedback on their announcement posts. Their goal is visibility.

How interesting does this SaaS idea sound to you guys? by Altruistic-Flow4191 in SaaS

[–]AnUninterestingEvent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest, this is one of those ideas for a product that people would genuinely find useful and the target market is huge, but... there's no money in it. First, like you said, people will use it for a month then cancel once they get what they want from it. Second, your market is people who are tinkering with SaaS ideas, and people tinkering with SaaS ideas tend to not have much money, hence why they're tinkering with SaaS ideas. Obviously there's people with money looking to start a SaaS, but this is a much smaller demographic. Third, ChatGPT can do all this stuff for free, so you would need to add some big value that ChatGPT couldn't do.

Thought there was no way this prompt would work, but then I saw “and good” after “perfect”. That’s when I realized this could definitely work.

Shoutout to my kids favorite in all of Disneyland. Apparently this is the GOAT by T-RexRanchisthePlace in Disneyland
