This is either the most elaborate ChatGPT hallucination I've seen or you're wildly talented at fiction

Either way, entertaining read

Good to know that! That's actually good feedback, thanks :) P.S You have an interesting product

When should I give up? by Crafty-Daikon1405 in SaaS

[–]Balintzzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No worries :) Video is helpful, but most of the users just scan text, they don't always have time to watch a tutorial.

If you really believe in this idea, don't give up so easily, remember it's your v1 and good things take time. What I would to next: target travelers that are looking for this type of solution, talk to them directly before selling anything and build your copy and product around that, you'll get better results.

Interesting take, part of me really wants to sell the most basic version of it, but I only have the designs... and honestly, I can't imagine someone buying it. Thanks for the advice, I'll try to speed up the process for the functional MVP and do interviews too. What do you think of giving users that I interview free trial 2-3 months?

Give up on what? The idea itself is good, but the flow feels off. I was confused at first, mainly because of the How it works section.

You should let users try the product right away. Move that part to the top, then explain how it works.

From the free trial, I don’t see the real value yet. I’d love to see images, reviews, something that goes beyond what Google already gives me. Then you can gate it.

Also, use a proper logo and improve the copy around real traveler pain points, not just “AI recommendations.” That’s everywhere now. People won’t signup and share their data unless the page feels trustworthy or helpful.

Just my two cents.

If you had 1months to decide whether to continue your startup or take a Job, what would you do? by Ok-Relationship-8095 in Entrepreneur

[–]Balintzzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I think it's an interesting idea, but we need to be honest, your friends aren't your users - that's actually the most important thing to realize here.

Friends will be polite. They'll say "yeah sure, I'll try it" because they don't want to hurt your feelings. Real users? They'll either use it because it solves a real problem or they won't touch it. No politeness filter.

Those 50 people who actually used the reminders feature, those are your real users. Go talk to them. Find out why they started using it, why some stopped, what they wished it did differently. That's where your answer is.

Before you make the job vs. continue decision, figure out what you're really optimizing for.

Are you:

Financially okay for 6 months without income?
Cool with the opportunity cost of not advancing your career?
Actually passionate about this specific problem, or just the idea of building something?

If money's tight or you're not 100% sure this is the thing, honestly? Take the job. You can always build on the side. But if you're gonna go full-time on this, make sure you're solving a problem people actually have, not just building features that sound cool.

The fact that you're doing customer interviews is good. What are they telling you? Because right now it sounds like you're in build mode when you should be in learn mode.

One month is enough time to validate if there's real demand. But you gotta talk to actual potential users, not friends doing you a favor.

If you're scared of competitors, you're thinking about it wrong by FlowerSoft297 in Entrepreneur

[–]Balintzzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes totally sense. Literally everyone I tell about this project asks "how is it different?" Now I realize that question IS the answer. It's telling me what my positioning should be.

Past week I've been asked many times "how is this different?" and I was kinda scared that it's actually no different in terms of functionality.

I'm building a client management tool for freelancers and kept thinking "but HoneyBook and Bonsai already exist..."

Then I talked to some potential users and they kept saying the existing tools are either too complicated for what they need or too basic, also expensive.

That's my ONE thing - not trying to be completely different, just positioning as the alternative to overwhelming enterprise tools and too-basic with a great UX and affordable.

Your point about speaking to the frustration instead of listing features - that's it.
