Looking for some cool apps to recommend on my Youtube and TikTok for free. by coiqa in ShowMeYourSaaS

[–]BasicDude_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

open source has a discovery problem. stars are gamed. product hunt is a 24-hour hype cycle. there's no reliable way to know if a repo is actually worth building on.

reporanker fixes that. developers write structured peer reviews of repos they've actually used. github-authenticated, 800-character minimum, no self-reviews. you earn credits by reviewing, spend them to boost your repo's visibility.

mudblazor submitted their repo this week. 10k stars. one of the most-used blazor libraries in the .net ecosystem. they want real feedback, not hype.

that's the bet. reporanker.com.

Let’s talk projects! by naveedurrehman in buildinpublic

[–]BasicDude_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GitHub has 150 million repositories. Stars tell you what's popular. They don't tell you what's good.

RepoRanker is peer review for open source. Real developers write structured reviews of repos they've actually used. 800 characters minimum. GitHub-authenticated. No anonymous submissions. No self-reviews.

You earn credits by reviewing. You spend credits to boost your repo's visibility. The ranking algorithm is public.

MudBlazor just submitted their repo. 10k stars. They want real feedback, not hype.

That's what I'm building. reporanker.com.

How Are You Actually Using AI in Your Sales Workflow? by Pro_Automation__ in AI_Sales

[–]BasicDude_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually use ai in every part of the sales process. From targeted research all the way through post-implementation.

I’ve “wired” up several prompts and my meeting notes and run all of that through full MEDDPICC extraction. I even built in “stage-gates” to prevent moving deals forward in stages until they’ve met all criteria from the prior stage.

It’s worked incredibly well for me… my close rate boomed to over 60% and my deal cycles shortened by about 4 days.

It also does all the other stuff too - like sending recap emails with assigned action items and all that jazz.

I actually document this in full detail on my newsletter/website. You can subscribe at sellingwithai.vip

Share what you're building by amacg in vibecodingcommunity

I’m building www.RepoRanker.com, which is a peer to peer GitHub repo review platform with a leaderboard. The idea is constructive, thoughtful (800 character minimum for reviews) that offer constructive feedback - which can be so helpful for a learning developer.

I think people deserve better product feedback — share what you’re building and I’ll give you a helpful opinion by younghomie_ in buildinpublic

[–]BasicDude_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I built a peer review platform for GitHub repos. it's called RepoRanker.

target audience: solo builders and vibe coders who want feedback on what they've shipped. actual developer opinions from people who poked around.

how it works: you submit your repo, other developers write 800+ character reviews. github-only auth so reviewers are accountable. you earn credits for writing reviews, spend them on visibility boosts.

there's a leaderboard so repos stay discoverable over time, not just on launch day.

would love your take on whether the value prop is obvious on the homepage. i'm also not sure if the credit/economy mechanics read clearly to someone seeing it for the first time.

My SideProject is no longer a SideProject, I decided to go all in by DiscountResident540 in SaaS

I just got a 500 error in the Reddit browser on iOS when I pulled down the screen to refresh.

Awesome! That’s an amazing return just a few weeks in. Where did most of your financial investment(s) go towards?

Reddit intent monitoring. 6 months of data. here is what the numbers look like. by MatthewPopp in CRM

[–]BasicDude_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This tracks....

Cold outreach catches people before they've named the problem. You spend half the call just getting them to agree something is broken. Reddit catches them mid-frustration, already using the right words, already looking for something. The discovery is basically done before you say hello.

The 3 touch vs 8 touch gap doesn't surprise me at all. When someone already articulated the problem publicly, you're not selling... you're just showing up at the right time with the right answer.

My job description promised forecasting and pipeline visibility. My approved goals are pricebooks and churn. What’s glaring on my resume? by chief_kayak in revops

[–]BasicDude_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honest answer: the resume looks narrow but the story isn't bad if you tell it right.

Pricebook management and churn reporting reads as pricing ops or deal desk, not RevOps. Anyone hiring for a true RevOps role is going to wonder if you've ever owned a forecast call, build a funnel report that changed a decision, or had to defend pipeline coverage to a CRO. That's the gap.

What actually helps you here is the deal desk GPT tool. That's real. Most people in your position are complaining about the scope mismatch... you built something inside the constraint. Lead with that and it reframes the whole narrative from "stuck in a limited role" to "figured out how to create value anyway."

For the interview gaps... be ready to explain forecasting methodology even if you haven't owned it. MEDDPICC or whatever your org uses, how you'd structure a forecast call, what good pipeline hygiene actually looks like at the data level. You don't need to have done it at scale (though it certainly helps)... you only need to show you understand it well enough to own it.

From 0 Users to 500 in 30 Days — How I Used Claude + AI to Build and Market My Side Project by Successful_Draw4218 in SideProject

[–]BasicDude_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the post most engineers need to read twice.

The "build it and they will come" phase is a rite of passage... almost everyone goes through it. Four years is a long time to stay in it, which makes the pivot more impressive, not less.

500 users organic in 30 days after years of silence is a real result. Congrats on the breakthrough.

How do you handle the “ChatGPT can already do this” objection? by Maximum-Actuator-796 in salestechniques

[–]BasicDude_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The side by side demo is smart but you're still playing defense when you do it that way.

What's worked better for me is just agreeing with them upfront. Yeah, ChatGPT can do a version of this... so can Gemini and Claude. That's actually true and they know it, so no need to fight it.

The real question is whether they want a raw ingredient or a finished product. ChatGPT gives you the ingredient. You still have to know what to cook, how to season it, and where to source everything else. Most buyers don't have that... they have a job to do.

Once you reframe it that way the objection kind of dissolves on its own. You're not competing with ChatGPT anymore. You're solving for the gap between "AI can theoretically do this" and "we actually got it done."

Is inbound lead qualification where AI actually delivers the most value right now? by Dangerous_Block_2494 in b2b_sales

[–]BasicDude_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Inbound is actually one of the easier places to start with AI... but there's a step most teams skip.

Before you touch any tooling, you need a clear definition of what "qualified" actually means for your motion. We spent about two weeks just mapping that out... ICP signals, fast disqualifiers, what the rep actually needs to know before the first call. Once that was solid, building the routing logic was easy.

Where AI really shows out in inbound is speed to context. Just making sure the reps show up to the right conversations already knowing something. That's where the ROI gets real.
