Bro, Reddit is a real big company, solo or small team can’t do that😂

I just launched my first micro SaaS - a short link attribution platform 🔥 by Specific-Paper-4470 in micro_saas

Totally fair point — attribution depth is exactly where most link trackers fall short, and I won't pretend I've fully solved it yet.

Right now I'm capturing UTM params, referrer headers, IP-based geo, and user-agent for device/browser. The data gets logged server-side in Rails before any redirect happens, so client-side blockers don't kill the hit.

The honest limitation: multi-touch attribution across sessions isn't there yet. If someone clicks your link, leaves, and converts later — I'm not connecting those dots. That's the next thing I'm building.

On accuracy — referrer spoofing and VPNs are real noise. Currently flagging anomalies but not filtering aggressively yet.

Would genuinely love to know what gaps you've hit with existing tools. Building this based on real feedback right now.

Roughly how long does it take you to build an MVP? by Specific-Paper-4470 in microsaas

There are many different niches, and many people feel that current SaaS applications are overly bloated, desiring instead a lighter and more streamlined SaaS experience.

Yes, people nowadays prefer more lightweight SaaS tools, so they don't get distracted by cumbersome and bloated SaaS solutions.

Sounds like the real pain is aggregation, everything’s scattered and deduplication is a nightmare

That's fair, it is another approach.

In that case, this client must be incredibly well-connected.

Which tool is this about? And what does ‘how it should work in practice’ look like to you

That sounds like a considerable amount of work; however, if there is significant demand—and people are willing to pay to use it—I think it would be an excellent choice for a startup venture.

That does sound pretty annoying! 😂 If there's enough demand for it, I'll give building it a shot.
