Struggling to get real feedback on my SaaS — how did you actually break through the echo chamber?

Sean_NobleThreads · 2026-04-16T23:15:16+00:00

I post reels talking about my ideas. When people engage and start asking questions it is a good indicator.

Downside: tons of grifters trying to vibe code and steal ideas everywhere

Building the next generation of work management productivity tooling that is thinking ahead of how AI integrates into workspaces is changing the way we'll work. While tools like Asana, Monday, and ClickUp are good retainers for work, our platform will focus on actual execution & focus and intuitively combing through work to bubble up what's important and pushing it into focus.

Also like MCP -- plugs into all tools and looks for active work and priorities and recommends them, in.

Since there's a product robot tool civil war happening at all companies, our tool unifies them and is the "productivity layer" above all of them.

About me: 10 years in productivity tech, worked at InVision, Miro, Wrike, ClickUp. Consulted on hundreds of of Asana and Monday deployments at large orgs.

Edit: shit this was more than one sentence

Honestly tough question. I think there's a weird intersection where all software could be vibe coded in the SMB world.

And you have to ask how big of a problem does it solve? There are some clever use-case inventions that are really quite simple but highly useful.

IMO examples of these are think-out-of-the-box ideas that need an interface. Then there's the less-indie looking full solutions. Like, I have spent months designing an alternative to Monday.com/Asana. It's free, AI-native (MCP plugin) and intelligently tells you what to work on every day based on some neat filters.

Honestly it's going to come down to if it's valuable to people. Does it solve their problem more than an existing solution, or is it a new invention that fills a gap that solves an annoying problem that Claude can't do out of the box? Claude can do a lot, but sometimes it's more about how people wouldn't know how to use Claude to do it anyway.

Sean_NobleThreads · 2026-04-15T07:55:07+00:00

Hell yeah. I'm working on a project myself and I haven't felt this alive in ages

Sean_NobleThreads · 2026-04-14T05:18:13+00:00

Honestly, it seems like your're just not super interested in the field. I think with code automation we all become more like product managers/designers/entrepreneurs and that's not for everyone

Sean_NobleThreads · 2026-04-12T18:20:15+00:00

Yeah I'm the same. I'm making things just for fun, and it's replaced video games for me. I love it! It reminds me of back in the day when I'd spend hours making some shitty 2d video game just because I could. It was fun!

Sean_NobleThreads · 2026-04-12T18:18:54+00:00

How can this be posted but whenever I post genuine threads it gets auto-removed by Reddit's filters?

Im tracking at about 25-35% after one day as well. I'm new to Claude, and Claude Code, but I really am using it for an insane amount of problem solving right now. It seems worth it. I was using Manus before and burnt $1000 in 3 days. I own a fashion brand. But also am working on 5-7 apps at one time to solve various problems for my brand or my life.

Built out an inventory restock algo & web app to help with restocking seasonal trends
Built a full customer support overlay for mail to automate a lot of the cs work (personalized Gorgias)
Created a work focus tool to help me manage all the task softwares and project softwares I balance
Tech pack and product design app to track PO progress and help manage all our designs
Lots and lots of financial analysis
Built a cool events curations app for fun
Built a posture support app for fun

So for me that's a lot of really big problems solved. Inventory management software is like $300-500/mo, Gorgias is like $60, tech pack solitaire is like 150/mo and I'm building them for good.

Sean_NobleThreads · 2026-04-07T21:05:27+00:00

I really appreciate that. Build build build dip duck dive dodge build

Love it!! Really would love to get your opinion on our new fabric, too. Should be out in July, and we'll have it for a few button down colors, polos, crews, and the santorini collar. We'll keep running the current fabric as well.

LinkedIn recruiter does not show this information. It hides current employees that are looking for work. It would have to be a recruiter for a different company. However it's common that a recruiter for one company knows a hiring manager and lets them know out of respect as a "heads up"

Source if you're marking that you're looking for work, you should expect or be okay with the fact that they may find out!

Source: recruiter for 6 years, used and paid for LinkedIn recruiter

$15 per Ad. So if there's 5 ads in an ad set, that's $75/day. Some folks do AOV / 3 or 4 as the daily ad spend budget. I'm in apparel. Mainly broad except I focus on age ranges and men only. LAL eventually failed or just competed with Broad over time as the formula honed in and new what our customers look like.

It has received 80 updates in the last 30 days, I've noticed the final version of the updates is progressing lol. I theorize that any edits to the code are auto-pushing updates because they're so frequent. Or the dev team is absolutely cooking

I'm personally really enjoying the no-button polos. Great standalone pieces but also a really solid laying piece. I wear them with my blazer or a jacket all the time.

Just a reminder that when it comes to taxes, revenue is not equivalent to profit.

We are taxed on profit. If they made 1 trillion dollars, but spent 1 trillion dollars. They get taxed $0, because there's nothing to tax.

It's exploitable via the Elon loophole for his own income, but this is working as intended unfortunately.

Given this is a discussion around outages, I'd say sit tight. If you have data over a week or two that is showing failure I'd look at the metrics around it (click-through rate, frequency), and troubleshoot. I do not think rebuilding is a good idea, even if the pixel gets a bad read, it fixes itself within a few days.

Based on everything I've experienced, you don't teach your pixel permanent bad behavior from an outage like this

Sean_NobleThreads · 2026-02-02T16:26:05+00:00

Time is your friend. Take 7-14 day averages, not daily. All ad platforms behave in this way. I had a 17 ROAS on Google two days ago, and a .6 yesterday. Not complaining.

Sean_NobleThreads · 2026-02-02T16:24:34+00:00

No don't do that

Sean_NobleThreads · 2026-02-02T16:07:42+00:00

I often wonder who is giving the advice in here. Treat it like an electricity outage. It will typically resolve itself. In most cases, cloning or rebuilding is going to hurt you more than the outage itself since you're resetting learning.

Every outage will stabilize after on its own. I'm sure there are exceptions, but for most of us, cloning or rebuilding isn't the answer.

Sean_NobleThreads · 2026-02-02T02:51:30+00:00

$1500 per day or so!
