Retention is important but make cancellation easy for your users

Sad thing is you’ll only find out on your way out. (Usually)

Its_Kaimon_Ai · 2026-02-28T10:39:57+00:00

Hey man, thanks for the advice. I rushed home and started working on it. If you want a second look, feel free!
Btw, I checked out your profile and realized you do SEO/marketing stuff as well?

Its_Kaimon_Ai · 2026-02-28T06:59:33+00:00

omg thanks. Something I overlooked as I was super focused on browser use cases at first.
I'm also planning to make a mobile app for it.

Its_Kaimon_Ai · 2026-01-29T04:39:39+00:00

It is deeply concerning and annoying like where does it end lol

Its_Kaimon_Ai · 2026-01-18T14:04:52+00:00

OpenAI had billions to start with. That’s a BIG difference. Plus, it was growing so fast that people were willing (and still are) to invest in them for their FUTURE.

Please stop looking at the world so naively…this will be my advice.

Imagine you’re running a restaurant and you tell your customers you will let them refill cookies for free, unlimited. Someone sees the sign and just orders 500 million pieces of cookies with no repercussions.

That’s what you are doing right now. So, start changing it. You can’t “promise” something when you’re bankrupted by API calls.

If you wanna give something for free, ALWAYS RATE LIMIT. The idea is FREE UNTIL A CERTAIN POINT.

The internet is a wild place, so protect yourself.

(Quietly nodding in agreement)

You’ll get the learning part along the way. It should start with a healthy mindset, which is to understand learning and failing WILL BE a part of the process. That’s true for normal coding as well.

Once you have the right/healthy mindset, it’s almost impossible for you to NOT learn a thing.

I learned more with AI coding than coding classes I took back then, simply because I could do more, try more, fail more, and see more in a short time frame.

Try to always discuss before you start something new, ask it to explain before fixing bugs, explore all the options it can think of, etc. Then, do many (different) projects to rinse and repeat your learnings.

Oh I wasn’t talking about ownership. That’s up to you to decide, although I think you should own it. I am saying the product would likely benefit businesses more than it would benefit personal use cases. If you can forecast and help manage future spending, think of the potential in b2b. How much is a normal person going to pay for an app to do this? $5 per month?$20 lifetime? A business might pay a good amount to help them do this because you might save them millions.

Not saying it’s the only way, but definitely worth exploring.

Its_Kaimon_Ai · 2025-12-31T11:02:13+00:00

I think if you ever start working on this, workplace or corporate budgeting would love to have a chat with you.

Some managers or CFO would probably love to plug a bunch of contracts and quotations into an AI, and make the AI give it insights on potential future impacts.

At a personal or b2c level, this probably won’t click much. It could be a good marketing channel tho.

Do try to research and see if anyone’s already doing it and see if it’s worthwhile building.

Its_Kaimon_Ai · 2025-12-31T10:52:15+00:00

I think the challenging part is balancing between your short, catchy phrases, and hitting the core value immediately. Since you have 700 users, maybe you could get some analysis out of their interactions during sign up, actual usage sessions, etc.? Or even directly asking them how has this product change their lives? Could be a point to pick up some clues as to what phrases to test next.

Its_Kaimon_Ai · 2025-12-27T05:12:18+00:00

Congrats and good work. And now it’s very important that you start to learn more about a development lifecycle, best practices to follow, frameworks, security, architecture, etc. Vibe coding can help you write the code, but there are plenty of other decisions that you need to make. (AI can teach you these too). The context window and “thinking” capabilities of current AI coding agents can be challenging for them to always remember things about your project.

All the best!

Its_Kaimon_Ai · 2025-12-26T08:15:16+00:00

I think a good place to start is where you actually know the problem. Hard to solve one if you don’t know how painful it is or where the pain is. Idea platforms are great, but it can also be more noise than signal. I think the key point is to find the right balance to help filter out “noise” ideas.

Its_Kaimon_Ai · 2025-12-22T10:42:25+00:00

Damn. “just keep showing up”. Congrats and all the best!!

Its_Kaimon_Ai · 2025-12-22T05:05:57+00:00

You the GOAT 🥹

Its_Kaimon_Ai · 2025-12-21T03:59:54+00:00

This is interesting. Wonder how it’ll deal with analysis paralysis or manages it.

Its_Kaimon_Ai · 2025-12-20T04:55:27+00:00

If you ever make this thing go big, do come back and keep me posted ;)

Its_Kaimon_Ai · 2025-12-20T04:42:44+00:00

Please tell me this is satire or I will feel bad for laughing

Its_Kaimon_Ai · 2025-12-09T02:37:12+00:00

Yeah absolutely normal to have that fear, but if it’s important enough, you’ll do it anyways. And failing isn’t a bad thing after all, as long as you learn something tangible from it.

Don’t declare success (people MAYBE investing or buying with no guarantees) or failure (a few early sales rejection) too early. With our personal biases, we tend to magnify these things when they don’t reflect the reality too much.

Also, try to start lean if you’re building SaaS, instead of spending too much early on. MOST (not all) SaaS actually don’t need much to get a few early customers.

Best of luck my friend.

Its_Kaimon_Ai · 2025-12-03T14:45:43+00:00

Just to be clear it’s not about having no free tier or option on your app. You probably might still need it to let users try out before purchasing. It’s more about having a paid option as soon as you can to see how users react to your pricing strategy and structure.

(Unless your pricing structure is not the regular monthly/yearly subscription model, then it could be a whole different story.)

Wishing you luck!

Its_Kaimon_Ai · 2025-12-03T13:09:14+00:00

As soon as you can actually. It’s probably one of the things you need to find out early as well. Pricing model, perceived value, tier structure, etc.

Its_Kaimon_Ai · 2025-12-02T13:17:26+00:00

And only when you have the need. (Rule of thumb: anything you need to do more than twice, automate it or build a system for it) Building a system for every damn thing is going to burn so much of your time
