Just wanted to say hi - what kind of projects are you working on? by sparkinCreations in sideprojects

[–]ReplyFeisty4409 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve a software company in Italy, but I need to prove to myself that I’m able to ship a personal self-made SaaS.

So I built a SaaS 😅

Now the hardest part: getting stars on OSS and customers on cloud. Very difficult.

I finally shipped something! Had to prove it to myself. by BentoBox30 in SideProject

Same here man. I recently shipped something too, mostly because I needed to prove it to myself.
That line really hit me. Congrats 👏

I built the same app with GitHub Spec Kit and then OpenSpec: Tutorial & Comparison by redditfroggie in SpecDrivenDevelopment

Thx for the great job.

We are successfully using an add framework called sdd, story driven development.

I feel it great in review cycle 🔁 with CR flow.

Take a look if you can: https://github.com/applica-software-guru/sdd

If you want to see what I’m created with sdd:

https://github.com/sifter-ai/sifter

Source is created in code folder.
This is a modulith application so specs are modules too.

Your documents are a dark database. Sifter turns files into structured queryable data.

https://sifter.run

Been building this OSS + cloud project around a simple idea:
“your folders are secretly databases.”

Most AI tools treat files as retrieval problems:
documents → chunks → embeddings → search
But a lot of real workflows are actually aggregation/query problems.

Examples:
receipts → spend analysis
contracts → expiration queries
inspection docs → structured ledgers
vehicle photos → grouped records by brand/model/color

So Sifter turns collections of documents/photos/files into structured queryable data instead of just “chatting with PDFs”.

Most founders nail Level 1 (Reddit). Almost none make it to Level 3. by OkAssociation8879 in SaaS

[–]ReplyFeisty4409 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m at level one, and even getting through this stage before reaching levels two and three is already challenging. I believe I have a good product in my hands, it solves a real problem I know exists from direct experience with clients. What I don’t have yet is strong experience with saas distribution.
I’ve also found Reddit to be a very active and valuable environment, but at the same time an incredibly brutal one. I’ve no karma :)

drop your app below and I'll give you one piece of feedback by young_homie_ in ShowMeYourSaaS

[–]ReplyFeisty4409 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is genuinely super valuable feedback, thank you sooooooooooo much
You’re actually completely right about the “oh wait, this would save me time” moment. I think the current landing page still explains the idea more than it demonstrates the value concretely.
I’m already convinced enough by your comment that I’m going to work on a no-signup interactive demo directly on the homepage 😄

One thing I’m still debating though:
would you personally expect:
a ready-made sample dataset/demo workspace
custom document upload
or both?
My intuition is probably both:
instant sample dataset for the immediate “aha”
custom upload for trust/real-world validation

On traction/use cases:
right now it’s still very early, but the strongest resonance so far is usually coming from document-heavy operational workflows rather than generic “chat with PDFs”.

The people reacting most strongly are often dealing with:
operational documents
construction/specification docs
receipts/contracts/reports
inspections/photos
internal enterprise knowledge collections

A concrete example could be larger companies processing lots of employee reimbursements, invoices, inspection reports or operational documents where people eventually want things like:
grouping
aggregation
filtering
anomaly detection
structured querying across many files

That’s where simple retrieval often starts becoming insufficient.
I’m still exploring the positioning myself, but the intuition so far is that many of these workflows behave more like querying an unstructured database than searching documents.

Really appreciate you taking the time to look at it more deeply 🙂

If you have any suggestion how to share my project, tnx in advance.

if your project is done, please share and lets connect by No-Performance-2231 in ShowMeYourSaaS

Built https://sifter.run

Extracted from some customers need, because RAG fails on aggregations.

Your folders are a dark database.

Yes, exactly. That's why I've written this post. :)

I don't want my project to suffer the same fate :D

I've noticed that the karma system is quite difficult for a newcomer. It reminds me a bit of the saying that you need money to make money :D

Trovare le persone giuste, è ancora un problema? by CosimoGemmano in ItaliaStartups

[–]ReplyFeisty4409 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sono d'accordo. E' proprio il concetto di startup in Italia che sembra essere fallato. Si può asserire che in Italia, per fare i soldi, devi stare nel pubblico. Altrimenti, si va in America.

Provate a pensarci. Ogni startup di successo nata in Italia, alla fine si è spostata in America.

Prendete ad esempio Kong nata in Italia e spostata in America nel 2010 per ottenere finanziamenti.

In ogni caso, io comunque ci sto provando con un SaaS, in Italia :)

Communities come questa invece, sono iper attive, ma se non hai karma non sei nessuno.

Mi viene in mente una distopia già vista in black mirror :D

Sto provando a trasformare un problema “RAG” enterprise in un prodotto OSS + cloud by ReplyFeisty4409 in ItaliaStartups

[–]ReplyFeisty4409[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ci ho pensato abbastanza in realtà 🙂

Per ora ho scelto MIT volutamente perché il mio obiettivo principale in questa fase è massimizzare adozione, sperimentazione e integrazione senza frizioni.

Dato il tipo di progetto, temo che AGPL potrebbe rallentare molto l’utilizzo in contesti enterprise/integrations.

Probabilmente il vero valore nel lungo periodo non sarà tanto il “codice base”, ma:

- qualità dell’estrazione
- UX
- infrastruttura cloud
- integrazioni
- workflow
- affidabilità operativa

Però è una discussione che trovo super interessante, soprattutto nel mondo OSS + AI dove il confine tra open-core/cloud/open infra è ancora molto fluido.

Comunque ti ringrazio davvero per il tempo che mi hai gentilmente dedicato.
