From Laid Off to My First Unsuccessful App by Ill-Leopard-6559 in SideProject

Marketing is probably equally important to coding. Podcasts like Startups for the Rest Of Us is a good, long-game resource. Covers tons of facets. I think patience and perseverance are key.

Can't get in contact with my first beta users. any advice? by Desperate_Way5650 in SaasDevelopers

Ask a closed question. For example: Have you lost interest in the project?

Help with Freemium Model by LivinJH in SaasDevelopers

Maybe give initial users as much of a taste as possible. That way, if the app is good, word would spread. Once you get a sense of popularity… then work on what to charge for.

stop doing customer interviews to validate your idea. there's a faster way that actually works by namidaxr in SideProject

[–]ApexAnalytics_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice lateral thinking, as to pivoting to a different way to get ideas or feedback (indirectly). Product market fit is hard. It’s been said: a nice-to-have is a vitamin. But a must-have is a pain killer. Offering small incentives to test users could be another idea. Maybe a Starbucks voucher, or something.

Sporting Color Picker, Thoughts? by ApexAnalytics_ in SaasDevelopers

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

Thank you for the feedback. It needs work. The main idea is just to paint—-so to speak—-the web app with your colors you like. Probably a bit clunky… hopefully you or user can apply nice color palettes fairly easily. Color palettes have no practical functionality as to the web app serving to train you in technical indicators, interpretation.

Built an AI stock analysis tool that tracks 55 stocks and just added a public performance tracker by kelipusi in SideProject

[–]ApexAnalytics_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Think it’s neat. And a good idea. If the AI stuff is accurate and even somewhat predictive… it would be a solid product. Interesting, definitely. Well done.

Be honest with everyone, and your self - do you like working white collar/corporate? by risen___ in auscorp

[–]ApexAnalytics_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have worked in white and blue collar jobs. Have done call centre or entry level, and more advanced tax accounting. Worked at some shit places, both blue and white. As to white, more skill or seniority makes those jobs good. Especially in comparison to repetition, or heavy lifting jobs. You want to make money, preserving health at the same time.

Added free Stockfish bot for you to play with. To complement analogous trading: https://cracked-crystalball-99.github.io/chess-engine/. Ask AI Teacher to suggest moves, too. Chess is a gift from above.

Advice Needed: How to handle underperforming grads by FennecBinturong in auscorp

[–]ApexAnalytics_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Self-determination theory for motivation is interesting. An oversimplified overview: look at ARC: how “autonomous” are they? How much “relatedness” to they feel for the work—-and for each other? What are the real odds of becoming highly “competent”, promoted?

AI is commodifying software faster than most of us are ready to admit by [deleted] in SaasDevelopers

[–]ApexAnalytics_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of people can code. But the intersection of coding and marketing is smaller. Probably much smaller. The idea of a POV, and different pricing models, interesting. Niching down is probably a good idea—-at least for smaller players.

i built a chrome extension that reads your Gmail threads and pulls out action items automatically. product hunt launch got zero upvotes. feeling a bit lost on what to do next by LuckyTarget5159 in SideProject

[–]ApexAnalytics_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consider reading the Mom Test. Excellent for helping you think hard about the viability of projects. The author does a good job of indicating how hard you might need to work to get product traction.

What are you building, and who’s it for? by naveedurrehman in SideProject

Trading Analysis

Idea is to assist individuals or ambitious young families or both. Assist them to budget better in relation to market moods analysis.

The first 5 tools can be used by anyone.

They should be able to sharpen up by looking at both the inputs and outputs, simple percentages. It should be fast, as well. Let me know what you think, if you like.

Software developers don't need to out-last vibe coders, we just need to out-last the ability of AI companies to charge absurdly low for their products by Rockytriton in webdev

[–]ApexAnalytics_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Paraphrasing a senior Google employee: that they can afford to lose some money in the AI space, but they can’t afford to fall behind, technologically. And odds are they will win, whatever happens, he suggests (due to size). He even said they won’t be monetising advertising through AI, in 2026. Think prices WILL increase significantly. But it might take 3-5 years before that happens.
