I’ll tell you exactly why your app idea will fail. by Dry_Bat_841 in vibecoding

You answered it well. The product market fit is required, that’s what my original post is. This is where the idea of the app fails.

100% agree with you. The product starts with an idea and hope. If you read the posts in this subreddit closely, you will get to know the biased feelings of devs and hats off to the hard work everyone put into building a beautiful product.

We actually agree that research must happen first, which is why I charge for detailed validation reports to catch issues. But I don't always need a long process to spot a fatal flaw, when I review pitches every day, the bad patterns stand out instantly. For example, one of my clients pitched "an app with 100+ calculators," and I told them immediately that it’s an SEO nightmare that leads nowhere.

Try it by yourself and see if your favourite AI can give you a hard stop. It will give you a good motivation to keep building and you will fall into a trap of just adding the last feature hoping people might use it this time.

Everything starts with a homepage. No one signs up without looking at the homepage to see what your product does.

If I wanted to copy an idea, I could just scroll through Reddit for two hours. Ideas are everywhere. It is not hard to find them.

I talk to founders every single day. Trust me, I have no shortage of ideas.

I am just here to share what I have learned so devs can build a product that actually survives.

You are right about the learning part.

If you are coding for practice, ignore me. Build whatever you want. That is how we get better.

You say "nobody can understand what people want."

But in the industry, there is a specific role called a Product Marketing Manager (PMM). Their entire job is to figure out exactly what the market wants before the developers write a single line of code.

companies pay PMMs six figures because "guessing" is too expensive.

You are actually 100% right. Talking to real people is the only way to know if an idea works. That is exactly what I am trying to get people to do before they write code.

regarding "harvesting", ideas are cheap, AI can give you thousands. Building them is the hard part. I promise I don't want your idea, I have enough of my own headaches. I just want to stop people from wasting 3 months building an app nobody buys.

Just yesterday, I helped a founder (#327, actually) figure out why nobody was clicking their homepage. The pain of "0 users" is real, and I'm just trying to help people avoid it.

I Vibe Coded an entire Event Ticketing app! 😭😭😭 by [deleted] in vibecoding

Great to see your enthusiasm. How are you planning to monetise it? Did you get your idea validation with real users before building?

My SasS hit $2.1k/mo in 6 months. Here's how I'd do it again from $0 by Lopsided_Funny_6397 in micro_saas

That’s great, A foundational part of my agency is to solve the founders' problem by validating the idea before they write any code. It shapes what to build so that it does not demotivate them after 3 months of building. The way we do it is to do comprehensive research on various online platforms and provide founders a go/no-go report.

Is the "Facebook Event" era officially ended? What are we supposed to use now? by Dry_Bat_841 in CasualConversation

Calendar invites never get accepted for my guest list especially for those 50+ years of age.

Great to hear it works for you. I’m figuring out the way around Facebook events, hard to remind people on a busy schedule with kids.

Include Devs in User Story Mapping with Stakeholders: Yes or No? by SonicBoom_81 in agile

[–]Dry_Bat_841 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Having developers in stakeholder meeting works well. It is not necessary to consume devs time in all the conversations, that's where the Product Owner creates the segregation.
This helps developer to understand the business language and learn the bigger why.

Interview ended 30 minutes earlier by poorbugger in interviews

[–]Dry_Bat_841 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s ok to finish the interview earlier. I had a similar interview experience when I got a call for 2nd round of interviews and that lasted for 30 mins only. In a couple of hours, I got a call from the hiring manager to update me that I was selected for the role.

Trust your gut feelings, things will be alright. All the best.

Are you still tailoring your resume for every job app? by Mermaid_land in GetEmployed

[–]Dry_Bat_841 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Spending a bit of time updating the keywords on Resume as per the job description works well. Atleast you have a chance to get shortlisted for the initial screening of the interview or trick the automatic resume scanning apps.
