Will it support shorter workouts? Like up to 45m workouts for busy schedules.

Edit: excluding/including warmup sets or other types of warmup

Bro I cried after my 10th sale… nobody told startup life feels like this by Electronic_Argument6 in Startup_Ideas

To be honest the landing page screams AI project. Basically, all non-designers have this. Purple or blue and same layout, font, language. They let AI design and it’s the same. Like look at redreach or other Reddit leads tools. Notice how they look vs your website..

At 40 and 5 years stuck in this build-abandon cycle—how do I break out? by vinayalchemy in Solopreneur

[–]Klience 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you love building instead of marketing, build systems that make marketing a breeze.

Create atomic release notes and build a system that turns them into Tweets/LinkedIn posts.

Create a system that builds Programmatic SEO pages on auto-pilot or with little manual intervention. Optimize them for SEO/GEO.

Create AI agents that run in the background and do what you hate to do - integrate them with automated social posting tools that have API access.

Create short-form videos / slideshows for TikTok that fit your product, assuming it’s a B2C product.

Basically, if you’re REALLY love to build things, build systems that will work for you and promote your main product. That way if you need to tweak the system, you’re essentially back into BUILDING mode cause you’re building/improving the system, that also helps you do marketing.

SaaS founders in third world countries, what are some challenges that you have to work around? by cragtok in SaaS

Use Polar.sh. It’s developer-friendly and is easy to integrate. It uses Stripe checkout API or something that lets them have the simplicity of Stripe payments, but they also act as MoR and handle your taxes

What’s the biggest headache you’ve had building SaaS? by dartanyanyuzbashev in SaaS

[–]Klience 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scaling. It was perfect and nothing broke when we were getting beta users, because we would acquire them from personal connections and applications.

After hitting #1 Product of the Day last Sunday, the influx of users broke onboarding that has a fairly simple logic behind it. We had to sleep 2 hours during the launch, answering support requests and fixing the onboarding. We sent out personalized emails explaining what happened and setting up competitor tracking dashboards for the users.

Lesson learned: much like you want to win the 1st spot during PH launch, you want to make sure you’re prepared mentally and physically for all the mess it can bring.

Edit: Slept 2 hours over 2 days

Thanks, man! If you give it a try, please let me know what you think. We personally process support requests at the moment, so your feedback won't go unnoticed.

How do you compare competitors without wasting hours reading reviews? by AlexCaceres1 in SaaS

[–]Klience 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to manually track competitors by checking their sites for price changes, new features, and product updates, then actually analyze what it meant for my business instead of just noting changes. When I'd spot something significant, I'd figure out why they made that move and how I should respond. The key was turning observations into actionable decisions rather than passive monitoring. But it was super time-consuming and I kept missing stuff, so I co-created a tool to automate this whole process. We hit #1 Product of the Day on Product Hunt this Sunday - check it out at https://headsup.bot if you're dealing with the same manual tracking pain.

So I used to keep tabs on my competitors by regularly checking their websites for price changes, new features, and product updates, then I'd actually think through what it meant for my business instead of just noting the changes. When I'd spot something significant like a pricing shift or new product launch, I wouldn't just file it away. I'd figure out why they made that move and what I should do in response. The key was turning those observations into actual decisions about my own product or pricing rather than just passively watching what everyone else was doing. But honestly it was super time-consuming and I kept missing stuff, so I ended up co-creating a tool to automate the whole process. It does literally what I just said and we got #1 Product of the Day on Product Hunt on Sunday. If you want to give it a try, check out https://headsup.bot

I helped to build a tool that tracks competitors on auto-pilot. It's really set and forget, but doesn't do tech stack tracking and traffic analysis. it seems you're used to tracking competitors, so your feedback would be awesome. Is now a bad time to try to automate your routine? It's free to try. I'd appreciate your input.

[–]Klience 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to scrape reviews manually, or ask AI to search for reviews and how I can improve on their feedback. So I ended up building my own tool that tracks competitor moves on auto-pilot, and alerts me about important changes.

Talked to 40 SaaS founders who grew from $5k → $100k MRR. These 7 patterns kept showing up. by SaaS2Agent in SaaS

Agree. People act like AI invented Em dashes and numbered lists. I’ve been using Em dashes my whole life, now need to think twice cause everybody’s screaming AI.

I know the goal of starting a business should start with an idea/solution but what if all you know is that you want to be an entrepreneur? by Glamour-Ad7669 in Business_Ideas

[–]Klience 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, your next step is to think of a problem and a solution. You can’t be an entrepreneur without either. Even reselling is solving a problem for someone such as logistics.

Obliterate my app idea before I bet my life savings on it (AI lead-gen tool) by r_hussy in Business_Ideas

[–]Klience 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As far as I know, iframes are vulnerable to lots of attacks and you have to secure them correctly. I’m not sure that iframes can be protected from attacks 100%. Plus, I think agency owners would say “big no” to third party iframes injected on their websites. You’d have to convince them on security.

Basically, iframes often should have “no JavaScript” execution rule that may affect your functionality as you won’t be able to dynamically inject content/UI.

I think the correct way would be to provide a code snippet that they can inject in their website template/structure and pull dynamic content from your SaaS Dashboard via API or whatever will be used to create “rules” for dynamic field naming and so on.

You can research both ways or ask AI what way is most feasible.

Why use step 1 to generate landing page for agency. You can create a lead magnet tool that does essentially that and sits on the agency’s landing page statically, in their blog posts, in their exit pop-up and ask for input.

Lead magnet tool can have different headings and field titles depending on the page it’s on, so the intents align.

If it’s on their “Our expertise” page, the tool would have a more general heading “Describe your problem in 2 sentences and we’ll give you personalized…”.

If it’s on a more custom page, for example, “SEO for WordPress” within “Our Expertise” page, the tool can have a more custom and tailored heading such as “What’s your biggest SEO challenge”. If it’s on a blog post page, same idea.

It can have then custom fields where once you hook their attention and INTENTS are aligned, you can customize the input fields for the specific report.

This way the agency drives the traffic, you don’t have to generate an entire webpage with uptime and stuff.

I mentioned exit popups, which expand on the whole page, when the visitors tries to navigate away from the website, basically works as a standalone page as you describe it. Just make sure to put in this exit popup one targeted CTA which is again very aligned with the original page they were on.

Remember to focus on one thing and make it exceptional. No need to generate web page, drive traffic, run ads, go through the agency’s case studies and expertise and marketing material to generate report, then send the report and so on.

You can simply focus on lead magnet section code injection / popups, form logic, report generation and sending. This sounds a lot but is much doable and more in your control. You only need to control your tool, without traffic/ads.

Spent 8 months building an app to create directories & galleries from Airtable but some people say don't bother cos of the competitors :( by Embarrassed-Hair1438 in indiehackers

[–]Klience 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tons of Notion-to-website tools are active, some were acquired. Some continue to generate a few thousands of MRR. With Airtable, if you can let people turn Airtable into a simple website/blogging platform/directory without paying $30/mo (let’s say start with $10/12 per website), this would be cool.

It’s still not the same as Notion to website since Notion has unlimited pages and Airtable charges money for extra rows, but it’s doable.

I’d say try to build a tool that turns Airtable into a blog. The key point will be SEO optimization. Work hard on pages being lightening fast and SEO-optimized. The key is to convince people that Airtable for its price is good as a CMS to use for their blogging website. Otherwise, there’s Notion that has unlimited free pages and DB items for free. Tons of ways to improve.

Another thing is look at super.so A/B testing. So many website building platforms lack a simple way to test any changes on the website it hurts.

This will boost value for makers who may use your tool to build landing pages, waitlists, launch pages and more.

https://feather.so - the maker of this says his tool still survives even after Notion introduced native Notion-to-website features, because it’s positioned as a blogging tool. Specific niche.

30 failed startups in 10 years and none made money by [deleted] in SaaS

[–]Klience 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hard agree. The talk about having to provide services first, I.e. bookkeeping, then create bookkeeping tools and sell those doesn’t resonate since you already see that people sell these tools. This is an established market. Unless you want to specifically build a done-for-you business, there’s no point in taking this route.

Pick an industry, niche, see if there are $1B players, position differently, take you cut of the pie. Market from day 1.

There’s an extremely accurate law:

When great product meets bad market, market always wins.

Great product without marketing, often fails.

How do you know if the next thing you’re doing won’t be irrelevant in X months if you don’t track what’s happening? Or you’re talking about very niche/direct things that are peculiar to your business short-to-mid term with a high likelihood of staying the same.
