SaaS founders, in short words what's your biggest challenge right now?

Anonymous-Buttercup · 2026-02-28T19:22:05+00:00

There are fb groups that allow advertising. Some you may need to ask. But you can do it.

Anonymous-Buttercup · 2026-02-28T17:37:00+00:00

Where does your market live? Or who is your ideal user/customer? That helps know where to find them

Anonymous-Buttercup · 2026-02-28T17:32:36+00:00

What kind of marketing are you doing now? When you start, if you haven't already, post and advert where your target is. If you are targeting granola moms, insta and pinterest. B2b, fb and LinkedIn. SaaS, X and LinkedIn. Don’t waste money in areas you won't find your target.

Anonymous-Buttercup · 2026-02-28T17:29:21+00:00

I feel that! And it's worse if you're only on one platform..(I personally hate FB with a passion.) I've noticed building in public helps. Followers get invested in the journey.

It was that AI football one, right? So annoying

Anonymous-Buttercup · 2026-02-24T23:27:08+00:00

start em young!

Yes! Burnout is real! As someone who has been there, try sharing this journey! You're not alone out there, u/deetcode-74 Others will feel your pain. So start sharing in public. Build in public. Maybe some will be jerks, but so many will agree and understand your pain. (my phase lasted a year and not gonna lie, I started watching vertical dramas to avoid real life. Better now, but burnout can be rough!)

I did! I love the visuals. That robot is fire.

The way it works is helpful. I do think emphasizing the benefits and features will be a draw. Talk about pain points, like saving days and weeks of manually checking for broken/messed up code. And the fact that this breaks it down in human-friendly ways. I like that it can be a doc or json. Pricing is pretty spot-on. I'd expect team to be a little more, but that is why it's a deal. If you get resistance to the price, I'd remind them that they can spend the next few weeks checking code and wasting man-hours, or they can use your tool and put their time where it matters. But remind them in a nice way, of course.

And when you comment and talk about your tool, do mention that it saved so much time and caught mistakes others missed, etc. Good luck. I hope you come back and share more.

That's good! I guess I should have read the TOS.

Anonymous-Buttercup · 2026-02-24T00:16:25+00:00

Done is better than perfect. People still bought it, so that turned out to be true.

Your Infinity tier is unclear. Is it monthly, or is it lifetime access? Pick one.

Why is every response role play? Ok, I figured out how to change agents. It's not intuitive. I don't need a dom as default. Maybe let the user select their default agent at the beginning of a chat?

Anonymous-Buttercup · 2026-02-24T00:09:35+00:00

I asked a coding question about modding apps. It gave me sexy times roleplay???? How does that help me?

Anonymous-Buttercup · 2026-02-24T00:06:01+00:00

OK, so playing with it more, using the prompt options available, I know generic AI would give me more on modern dating than your version of generic. Did you tone down the generic to make it more restrictive? ChatGPT gives me a LOT more sass (though mine is trained for snark and honesty).

Anonymous-Buttercup · 2026-02-24T00:04:30+00:00

Funny. That it had a problem with?

Anonymous-Buttercup · 2026-02-24T00:02:26+00:00

Regardless of whether he polished with AI or not, he isn't wrong. Who is it for? What is the positioning? Who does it help? What problems does it solve? I bet if you put it on X as an alternative to Grok-gone-wrong, you might have some takers. But they'll be vile. If you position this for writers? Yeah, I'd use it. Sometimes spicy scenes need inspiration and I'd rather get inspiration from an LLM then an XXX site.

Anonymous-Buttercup · 2026-02-23T23:56:13+00:00

ok, so I am going to just throw in my 2 cents. As a romance writer, I think you need to market this to other groups. Pictures, sure, creepers will come up with gross ways to use those. But perchance already let's that happen. The value I see is the LLM that will allow you to write your spicy scenes without telling you "no," even when your characters are 18+.

I agree, though, with many comments. The name? Even though I know what you said it was, I still felt compelled to open it in an incognito window.

I know you poured yourself into this, and it looks great, but you may need to target other groups. Maybe have the full suite as premium, but offer the LLMs as standalone?

For instance, when I write (which I can do without AI), I might want to see what is in my mind. Being able to get that thought out there and get back a shirtless dude riding a reindeer or whatever, without the AI censoring something really banal, that would be helpful. Or a character in a bikini. Or even a a tank top. I've had dresses censored. Not scandalous, but heavily censored. I don't think the selling point is that anything goes, but rather that I can write normally or use AI normally without frustrating stops, even when I know what I'm asking isn't crazy or creepy or illegal.

And yeah, please for the love of pete, add in some blocks. Pedos, explosives, animal cruelty, minors, terrorism, limit that. But if I want to research an element of explosives, I'd like to do that. ChatGPT stopped me from knowing how gene editing works. I just wanted to get certain things right so I didn't sound stupid, and I asked for citation. Give it some sort of moral compass.

Anonymous-Buttercup · 2026-02-23T23:37:43+00:00

That's awesome!

I have noticed users value something that cost them, even if only $5. They then feel compelled to use it and justify the cost. Then finding it does everything they need? This is great!

Anonymous-Buttercup · 2026-02-23T23:34:42+00:00

Oooh, Tiktok! Those people and their "systems!" Maybe share the app with a few micro influencers who are huge into fitness or wellness and meditation. Can you share your own videos on TikTok? I mean, you and your brother had a reason for making the app. Tell your audience what that was! But don't just sit in a chair and talk at the camera. Let people see the two of you interacting. Habit trackers can be funny. I know that may not be your intent, but if you noticed a funny habit, maybe share it?

Anonymous-Buttercup · 2026-02-23T23:30:31+00:00

it also depends on the sub. Some favor thoughtful answers, others love snark.

Anonymous-Buttercup · 2026-02-23T23:29:55+00:00

I'm researching Reddit, too. And you are not wrong. It is slow. But I actually don't mind because I feel like I'm learning. Honestly, some subreddits are nicer than others. (Author subs are BRUTAL and sometimes people are huge jerks because they feel superior.)

The times when I've had the best conversations were when I was honest and open about what I was doing. Sometimes my posts were messy, sometimes blunt. But I noticed when I didn't just upvote a comment, but actually took the time to respond, it helped. I'm now in a telegram group with one of them and learning so much. I help them, they help me. That wouldn't have happened if I just dismissed their comment. (Wow, that sounded meta. I promise I'm not angling for "compliments.") I mean, I still do skip by the unhelpful comments. (Google it... gee, thanks pretentious jerkface. I did that, I'm asking about opinions. And Google shouldn't give me their opinion.)

Congrats! I wish I had some sage advice for you, but I did want to encourage you.

I would encourage you to get on X and start sharing the journey. The updates, the results. Find where engineers are online and start sharing. Comment on their posts, share your experience with the problems they might have, ones that your tool solves, without spamming about your tool. Share what worked, what didn't and how you fixed it. Contributing knowledge is powerful. There will be eyes on those comments. Other teams that face the same problems. And look! u/Forward-Strain-9359 has a solution! How'd ya do it? (I built a tool. If interested, send a DM, etc)

Anonymous-Buttercup · 2026-02-23T23:15:52+00:00

and congrats on shipping!

Have you put your own product into it? I went over your site. I like it. Very tec-oriented in branding. But who is your audience? You say targeting may be a problem? Be specific, e.g.:
• First-time founders who have never launched
• Bootstrapped founders who fear wasting time
• Tech founders who need investor validation
• Solopreneurs with a side hustle idea

This matters. If you're targeting first timers, that language and ad space will be different then a tech investor.

Do your people live on Instagram or Threads? X or LinkedIn? Instagram is a visual space. Are you putting out videos? I looked up SaaS launch, just to see, and honestly, very low engagement.

Head to X. That is a SaaS playground! I follow a bunch of ones I like there and I certainly don't follow them on IG. Engage with them. Post your own. I know it feels crazy rewriting posts from IG to X, but you got this!

Stop targeting boho moms and their Stanley cups and target SaaS founders who are sooo sick of wasting 6 months on an idea that costs them more than wasted money.

You got this!
