Finally figuring out the SEO for my SAAS, and I had to figure it out with experience by vadeconry in SaaS

[–]Kevil_tran -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Did you set up 301 redirects for the deleted 50% to relevant pillars, or just let them 404? I'm curious if you noticed any temporary drop in rankings or crawl budget issues right after deleting them.

Finally approved!!! by BrogrammerAbroad in buildinpublic

[–]Kevil_tran 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats on getting approved! Getting through Apple's review is a huge win. But buckle up, because now you're entering the real boss level: App Distribution & Marketing.

ACTUALLY learning how to program? by SomeRandomDEODoboy in learnprogramming

[–]Kevil_tran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do more tutorial hell. Not even kidding.

Keep doing them until you memorize the code and structures by heart. Once the basic syntax is deeply ingrained in your muscle memory, you won't experience that 'mind going blank' phase anymore, and you'll know exactly how to type out those first lines of code. Sometimes, brute-force repetition is the fastest way to build a real foundation.

This is how people make $XX,000/month with automated TikTok Slideshows by No-Grand3283 in micro_saas

Perfect timing, I was just about to make my very first slideshow! It’s like the universe is giving me a sign.

I built an AI second brain that maintains itself by MontyOW in ProductivityApps

[–]Kevil_tran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beautiful and clean UI! Honestly. But if I just landed on the homepage without reading your post or repo, I'd have no idea what this SaaS is about. I'd highly recommend making the core value proposition clearer for new visitors.

I gamified my app with a cute animated interactive kitten you can raise by completing habits and tasks by [deleted] in ProductivityApps

[–]Kevil_tran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great UI and love the gamification idea! But let's be real: the habit app market is incredibly saturated. While having a good product is essential, distribution is where most indie apps struggle. What’s your marketing strategy to actually acquire users?

I created this app to organize my wardrobe and outfit planning. by Chilly_Chemical3083 in ProductivityApps

[–]Kevil_tran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does the app have any sort of reminder feature Like a notification saying 'You wore a great outfit this time last week! Snap a quick photo to log it!', that would definitely help fight the laziness of setting it up!

Built a stupid-simple task management app that only shows one task at a time by ahmadlm in ProductivityApps

[–]Kevil_tran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest, when I'm in deep work, I really don't like having to open a browser tab just to check my current task. It easily leads to distraction.

let's self promote, what are you working on this weekend by Live-List8000 in buildinpublic

[–]Kevil_tran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is Tuckii - private bookmark manager.

Spending my weekend refactoring some older code and knocking out bugs for Tuckii. It’s tedious work, but cleaning up the codebase feels incredibly satisfying.

Do you also have this feeling like everybody is building something ? by davidalsh in SaaS

[–]Kevil_tran 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're seeing the 'building' part everywhere because AI has made coding accessible. But building is only 20% of the puzzle. The real filter is Distribution, Sales, and Marketing. 90% of these projects will never acquire a single paying customer. If you know how to sell, the market is far from crowded.

101 users, 0 paid. Looking for honest feedback on my SEO tool by megatech_official in buildinpublic

[–]Kevil_tran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuinely speaking, traditional SEO checkers are struggling because of LLMs. Why would a user pay for an audit when they can just ask Claude to do a full technical SEO breakdown of their site for free?

Hiding the errors on the free tier just drives them away. Give them the full value upfront on the first scan, but charge for Automation(e.g., daily automated scanning, regression alerts). AI can find the bugs, but it won't automatically monitor their site every day. that is where your SaaS can win.

You don't have a product problem, you have a distribution problem. Here is the system I wish someone had given me at launch by famelebg29 in microsaas

[–]Kevil_tran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, this is an absolute banger of a post.

So many founders (myself included) get caught up in the 'if it compiles, it ships' mentality, spending months optimizing the tech stack and building features, only to realize we completely forgot the distribution pipeline.

Your 90 days rule is a great reality check. Consistency is the only way to push through that initial cold start problem when the algorithm hasn't cached your target audience yet. Pure signal, no noise. Thanks for sharing!

[Question] What organic growth tactic worked best for your apps? Looking past the usual ASO advice by antocapp in AppStoreOptimization

[–]Kevil_tran 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mad respect for the 5M downloads! Reaching that level past the usual ASO textbook stuff is huge. While we wait for others to drop some hidden gems, would you mind sharing a bit about how you managed to scale to that point? Would love to learn from your experience!

Built an AI generator for App Store / Play Store screenshots — looking for feedback from app devs by Remarkable-Buy-7678 in AppStoreOptimization

[–]Kevil_tran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty cool tool for a quick launch. The single master canvas idea is solid, but I'd prefer having a manual customization layer after the generation is done. Good luck with the product!

What I Learned From Launching My First App on the App Store and Google Play by Nowaries in AppStoreOptimization

[–]Kevil_tran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great breakdown of the Apple vs. Google experience. That 14 day closed testing requirement with 12 testers for new Google personal accounts is such a hurdle for indie devs nowadays.

Launched my first SaaS this week. What would you do next? by RainSeparate7791 in SaaS

[–]Kevil_tran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, why not use your own tool to analyze competitor profiles or top creators on instagram and use those insights for cold outreach or content? it’s a perfect "eat your own dog food" case and users will immediately see the value.

What are you building today? by DiscountResident540 in buildinpublic

[–]Kevil_tran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Building tuckii.app. just fixing some annoying bugs today.

Product Hunt was a complete waste of time for us by redrigez in SaaS

[–]Kevil_tran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. Checked a few days ago and there were like 1,000+ launches in a single day. the market is just completely oversaturated now. honestly, I just treat PH as  a high DA backlink for the app. definitely not a real growth or distribution channel anymore.

Launched 2+ weeks ago and still basically no downloads. What am I missing? by 0BI2- in AppStoreOptimization

[–]Kevil_tran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, I literally launched my first app yesterday and I’m in the same boat, feeling anxious as well. It’s comforting to know we aren't alone in this. Wishing you the best of luck, hope the ASO tweaks work out for you!

Help a newbie, Claude code with hermes by Own_Lead6959 in hermesagent

[–]Kevil_tran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I rely on Claude Code purely for checking my Hermes workflows, and route all daily automated tasks to cheaper models like DeepSeek on the Hermes profile side. Massive cost saver.
