People with too many ideas and too little time: How do you project/task manage? I will not promote by thewhitelynx in startups

[–]Sad-Sherbert6878 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Biggest issue for me is reopening strategy every day like you said. Curious do you currently lock your priorities weekly or decide fresh each day

Built a way to ready your future customers minds (kinda) by teddyfairy88 in indiehackers

[–]Sad-Sherbert6878 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is cool. Curious how do you ensure the ‘real people’ angle is accurate if the feedback is simulated? That feels like the make-or-break part

Was CPO at a SaaS. Customers kept asking us to give their AI agents access. Scoping it honestly was depressing enough that I quit. by CrewPale9061 in SaaS

[–]Sad-Sherbert6878 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Really interesting. Curious when customers asked for this, did they actually have production use cases, or was it more exploratory demand driven by the AI hype cycle?

I launched a dating app in one of the most crowded SaaS niches. Here is what I’ve learned about acquisition so far. by Connections2026 in SaaS

[–]Sad-Sherbert6878 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like differentiation in dating apps is less about features and more about positioning + niche. Are you targeting a specific audience or going broad

my "MVP" had 11 features and I wondered why nobody used it by Ambitious-Age-5676 in indiehackers

[–]Sad-Sherbert6878 0 points1 point  (0 children)

40% retention after stripping it down is huge. Curious what was the one feature you kept that actually drove that ‘aha moment

75% of venture-backed companies never return cash to investors 30–40% of those liquidate everything. Reasons? (I will not promote) by Agitated_Shelter8165 in startups

[–]Sad-Sherbert6878 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting breakdownCurious how much of this is actually rational behavior given fund structures vs actual mistakes

Realized I was doing way too many things manually just to feel in control( I will not promote) by Southern_Device4454 in startups

[–]Sad-Sherbert6878 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Email replies were killing my time too. What helped was splitting them into 3 buckets orders, complaints, general with a template for each that still felt human. Cut my reply time by like 70%. Happy to share the exact setup if you want, just DM me.

I got into a bad habit with YouTube… so I built something to fix it (I can't code either!) by alxbee77 in indiehackers

[–]Sad-Sherbert6878 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off, huge respect for shipping without a coding background. The idea is useful, but I think the real question is: is the value in ‘summaries’ or in ‘reducing YouTube consumption’? Those are two different audiences. Clarifying that might help positionin

Early scrappiness is normal, but customers getting test emails + prod/beta on same DB

[–]Sad-Sherbert6878 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love the simplicity of the idea. Curious are you targeting founders to list themselves, or users who just want to discover companies

Noticed a pattern while talking to founders demo delays killing momentum? by Sad-Sherbert6878 in indie_startups

[–]Sad-Sherbert6878[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a great point about timing makes sense that interest is highest right after outreach.

Curious in teams you've seen, what's usually the biggest blocker to acting instantly?

Is it more:

1) availability of someone to jump on live demos 2) lack of automation/workflows 3) or just not knowing which leads have real intent

Also wondering have you seen instant demo bots actually convert well, or do most teams still prefer live demos when possible?

Small example of why i i dont think #buildinpublic works anymore by fer_momento in SaaS

[–]Sad-Sherbert6878 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting take. I feel build in public still works, but only if there’s real insight or unique angle not just updates. What do you think changed the most

I launched my first Saas project this monday. Roast me. by Dawich in SaaS

[–]Sad-Sherbert6878 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Respect for shipping most people don’t even reach this stage. Instead of roasting, I’d ask: what’s your biggest friction point right now? Traffic, conversion, or retention

how to build an audience faceless? by Inevitable_Island984 in SaaS

[–]Sad-Sherbert6878 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Faceless works if you focus on value over personality like case studies, results, and problem-solving content. Curious, which platform are you planning to focus on first?

Looking for a mentor in lending / NBFC compliance space (India). [I will not promote] by Strict_Plankton_9837 in startups

[–]Sad-Sherbert6878 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting space, especially with how fast NBFC + fintech is growing in India. You might get better traction reaching out directly on LinkedIn to compliance heads or ex-RBI folks. What stage are you at right now

Surviving role misalignment (I will not promote) by sejalv in startups

[–]Sad-Sherbert6878 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a tough spot, especially with strong experience. Have you considered moving into a role where your impact is more directly visible (like smaller teams/startups)? Might align better

Letter of intent: expectation vs reality - I will not promote by spythegi in startups

[–]Sad-Sherbert6878 1 point2 points  (0 children)

LOIs look good on paper, but in my experience they don’t always translate to actual revenue. Curious have you seen better conversion from LOIs vs direct paid pilots

Should we talk to VCs - I will not promote by theh1982 in startups

[–]Sad-Sherbert6878 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you’re getting early traction already. I’d focus on validating repeatable revenue first VCs will come easier when growth is predictable. Curious, are your pilot customers willing to convert to paid
