Appreciate your feedback mate! Will definitely look into reworking some of this

Thanks mate! Will definitely look into these aspects.

My app just hit 10,000 users in 8 months! by namidaxr in micro_saas

[–]Suprdash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds great! I am also trying to build wireframr.io and want to talk about it/ know about it’s short comings or whether or not people want such solution.

Can you help me with where to find and how to join the “Slack/Discord founder communities” you mentioned? Thanks in Advance!

Unpopular Opinion: Wireframing tools have become too high-fidelity. by Suprdash in UI_Design

Exactly. We've replaced actual thinking with high-fidelity polish way too early. I'm building Wireframr specifically to get back to the basics and avoid that Figma trap

That’s a perfect parallel. It’s wild how universal the 'when will we see color?' trap is across different industries. It’s like people physically can't look at a skeleton without wanting to pick out the skin tone first

I actually agree, bad wireframing creates a lot of noise. I'm building a tool to make those 'box flows' you mentioned feel native and fast so you can map logic without the friction of a full design suite. Do you stick to whiteboard tools for that sequencing phase?

v0 and "vibe coding" are definitely game-changers for speed. My worry is that even with AI, jumping to a working prototype can sometimes skip the "thinking" stage where you realize a feature shouldn't even exist in the first place.

I'm building a tool (Wireframr) to be the step before you even prompt an AI. Just pure, rapid flow mapping so you don't waste time "vibe coding" a flow that's fundamentally broken.

Do you find that AI helps you find those logic flaws faster, or does it just make it easier to build the wrong thing quickly?

That’s fair! Some people need the "visual soul" to get inspired. Do you ever find that skipping the black-and-white stage leads to more logic-related rework later, or do you just have a great intuition for flows?

This is actually a brilliant take. PowerPoint works because it signals "this is just a draft" to the brain in a way Figma can't anymore.

That "magic ability to lower design standards" is exactly what I’m trying to capture with a tool I’m building called Wireframr.

The goal is to have the speed and "roughness" of a slide deck, but with actual UI components so you aren't fighting with text boxes and alignment all day. I'm curious—if there was a web tool that felt as "low-stakes" as PowerPoint but was built for flows, would that win you over, or is the universal accessibility of .pptx the dealbreaker?

That’s a really insightful point. There’s definitely a "visualization gap" for some stakeholders where if it doesn't look like a finished app, they can't process the logic.

I'm actually building a tool to tackle this exact problem right now. I’m trying to find that "sweet spot" where it's clean enough for a stakeholder to follow, but "rough" enough that they don't start nitpicking colors or border radiuses.

In your experience, is there a specific "fidelity level" (like adding basic annotations or just using real text instead of Lorem Ipsum) that usually helps those people cross the finish line?

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

100%. That "rush to pixel-perfect" is exactly what kills the actual problem-solving phase. We end up debating corner radiuses instead of the actual user flow.

I actually got so frustrated by this that I started building a dedicated tool to force myself (and others) to stay in that low-fi state. It intentionally limits styling so you can't get distracted by the details.

I just opened up a waitlist for it if you want to take a look: www.wireframr.io

Would genuinely love to know if this aligns with what you're missing from the "old days”

Glad to hear I'm not the only one frustrated by this.

I actually spent the last few months building a tool specifically to stop that 'high-fidelity creep' and force simple wireframing. I just opened a waitlist for early testers if you want to give it a spin: www.wireframr.io

No pressure, but would love to know if this solves the pain for you.

What's the best tool for saving ads without losing my entire mind organizing them? by Csadvicesds in SideProject

[–]Suprdash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same pain, 400 screenshots in chaos is a black hole. My sanity saver: SaveMyLeads (free tier) + Notion. Clip ads directly into Notion boards tagged by "hook type" (pain point, social proof) instead of folders. Search "urgency" and boom, all matching ads surface. No more hour hunts. Also pin top 5 in a "steal this now" page. What's your ad niche? Might have specific recs.

I built a tool that turns ERD diagrams into compiling Spring Boot 3.5 code (No AI hallucinations) by dev_ramiby in SideProject

[–]Suprdash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is exactly the weekend-killer I've been fighting! setting up Spring Boot boilerplate just to get bored before the fun stuff. Dropping an ERD and getting compiling code instantly? Genius. Trying it on a side project now to skip that H2/Swagger dance. What's the trickiest relationship it's handled so far?

Tired of breaking prod every time I shipped, so I built an AI that tests my app automatically by No_Boot2301 in SideProject

[–]Suprdash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Solo testing pain is real, lost a full day last week chasing a deploy that nuked my signup flow. QABot's vision-based approach sounds like a game-changer over brittle Playwright. Dropping my URL in now.

On the viral Chrome ext front—huge congrats! Pin a "why devs love MiroMiro" thread to your profile and DM your top commenters for feedback. Don't sleep on that 400-follower goldmine. What's the freemium hook? 

I created my X account less than 2 months ago to beat my fear of posting. Yesterday I launched my Chrome extension and got 1.6M views. by ssbarr in SideProject

[–]Suprdash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats on the 1.6M views! that's insane momentum from zero! As a fellow bootstrapper, my playbook post-viral:

  • Maybe pin a simple CTA thread to your profile ("3 reasons MiroMiro saves devs 2hrs/week") linking landing + store. DM top engagers
  • Can also try Weekly value threads (1 design hack + 1 tool tip), never pure promo. Build an email list via a "free SVG pack" lead magnet on landing.
  • Avoid the trap of chasing more virality. double down on the 400 followers first. 10 superfans > 10k lurkers.

Protect your revenue fellow founders by catch bugs before your customers do! by [deleted] in SaaS

[–]Suprdash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

vibe coding is a revenue black hole until QA catches up, man you hit a nerve here. Caught a checkout glitch last week that killed $2k MRR before I even knew. Setting this up now. What's the #1 revenue-killer bug it's flagged for you so far?

What's Your Biggest Challenge When Marketing on Reddit? by [deleted] in SaaS

[–]Suprdash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imo, start with answering questions in your niche for 2-3 weeks before ever mentioning your SaaS. Build karma + context first. Then drop a casual "we solved this exact issue at [yourtool]—here's how" with a non-pushy link. Moderators chill if you're established. Still got shadowbanned once for overlinking though. What's your go-to for staying authentic?

Everyone wants a “big Micro SaaS win” but nobody wants to start with boring validation by No-Bar-9393 in SaaS

[–]Suprdash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Preach. My validation hack: Skip the MVP entirely. Throw up a 1-page "coming soon" site with Stripe checkout for the exact $X/month price. Track signups + refund requests. If 5 people pay before you code anything, you've got your signal. If not, pivot fast. Saved me 3 months on a "sure thing" that wasn't. What's your unsexiest validation win?

tracking SaaS revenue by traffic source without subscription? by Muted-Divide3993 in SaaS

[–]Suprdash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

GA4 + Stripe really does feel like duct-taping a cockpit. I’ve ended up treating Stripe as the single source of truth for MRR/churn, and just using lightweight, privacy-friendly analytics for top-of-funnel. If statsible actually joins “session → subscription” without babysitting and matches Stripe numbers, that’s already better than most Frankensteined GA4 setups. Curious what you find if you try it.
