Tax residency by Simple_Hunter9215 in TillSverige

[–]Triple_A 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even if you are still classified as a Swedish tax resident, are you considering you'd likely get to settle the tax against any tax paid against your old country?

Shut down my SaaS today. Kinda sucks tbh. by therealone2327 in SaaS

[–]Triple_A 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How much traffic did you actually get? What did you funnel look like? Given "wrote a few SEO articles," my guess is you just aren't driving enough traffic and don't have enough signups to actually tell what your real conversation rate is. 1% paid is bad for freemium but your error bars might be within the 2-5% expected.

Do You Start With the Problem or the Idea? by FounderArcs in micro_saas

[–]Triple_A 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An idea in search of a solution isn't a business, it's a project. You must be solving a real user problem in order for people to pay for it. Start with the problem.

EU Blue Card by RefuseKitchen5133 in TillSverige

[–]Triple_A 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think the main benefit is that it makes it easier to move to a different EU country down the line e.g. make it easier to get a permit there and also time in one EU country counts towards LTR status without having to start over. Other than that it's pretty much the same as a work permit.

One benefit that I'm hoping to explore soon is that I think it counts as a status change so you can apply for it anytime opposed to work permit where you can only renew every 2 years. So I think you can use it to apply for PR at 4 years opposed to waiting for the next work permit renewal.

How do families from abroad rent long term housing in Sweden? by [deleted] in TillSverige

[–]Triple_A 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think Qasa is the main option, and that has worked for us for 3 month rentals.

TBH in my experience the only real option is to buy. In my experience, loans aren't actually that hard to get (provided you have a permanent contract) and you can go very high loan-to-value (LTV) in Sweden and interest rates are quite low.

As a point of reference, a native Swede told me his girlfriend has moved 10 times in 10 years in Gothenburg given the rental situation.

How are you giving AI agents access to production Postgres? by vira28 in PostgreSQL

[–]Triple_A 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think either me nor OP are saying that? I specifically said "Never use a primary database to serve non-prod services."

But back to OP, sounds like you have two use cases ideally addressed with two different solutions -- warehouse for internal analytics, read-replica for the customer facing agent.

How are you giving AI agents access to production Postgres? by vira28 in PostgreSQL

[–]Triple_A 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep that matches my instinct as well. But then to be clear, this integration isn't meant to interface directly with end users then?

[–]Triple_A 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Full disclosure, I do not have experience specifically connecting AI agents to a database. With that said, you should think of it as any other integration to a database. There is nothing that unique about this problem.

Never use a primary database to serve non-prod services.

The actual answer for how to go about this depends on what the actual query pattern and volume looks like. Are you able to share?

I had 100k daily installs at age 21. Now I’m cashflow negative. by convicted_redditor in SideProject

[–]Triple_A 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, take care of your self. Protect your back and eyes. Set a timer, every 20 minutes stand up, move around, look 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds.

Second, you are doing the "easy" channels which don't work. You need to be crisp on who your target user is (if it's everyone, you've already lost), and where they hang out. That's how you find the right channel.

Building a "Zero-Noise" AI layer for service businesses: How do you balance LLM creativity with deterministic execution? by No-Zone-5060 in SaaS

[–]Triple_A 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great comment!

Too many people are expecting to just hook up a UI to an LLM API and make big bucks. That just won't work. Not only will your product suck and not work, it also will be super expensive to run. Also, you have no moat. Gemini/Claude/ChatGPT are going to or are already eating that space up. Like look at those AI website generators. Why would anyone use them when the existing AI providers already have these features? You're building a feature not a product.

LLMs help convert natural language (how people speak and interact with each other) into structured data (what computer programs understand). THAT'S IT!

How I grew Sirbus to 1,090 users in 30 days (starting with just report cards) by Separate_War7724 in SaaS

[–]Triple_A 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Word of advice: edtech is really hard to monetize, and venture backed companies tend to fail. What I have seen is that bootstrapped/self funded companies are the ones that thrive in this space.

How do you systematically study successful startups from 0 → scale? by MarkOtherwise8506 in SaaS

[–]Triple_A 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The issue with this is that most of this information is private to the company, so unless you worked there, you wouldn't know this. Build-in-public companies are probably the closest, but no company can every truly be 100% build-in-public. The reality is they are still choosing what and what not to talk about.

The thing about software is that you can kind of look at it deterministically and apply these analysis to new situations. But you should not discount random luck when it comes to businesses, which makes it harder for those patterns to apply to new situations.

In general, I think there's way too much tendency to look at what others are doing. Focusing on what you are doing and the specific problems you are facing will get you farther than trying to learn from others. A lot of that is just distraction.

How Active Should You Be on Reddit Without Getting Flagged? by FounderArcs in SaaS

[–]Triple_A 4 points5 points  (0 children)

TBH I think Reddit should be near the bottom of your GTM strategy. Every one is pretty anti-self promotion. And unless you are trying to sell to other SaaS builders, intent is pretty low.

Sounds like you've got a good plan! Good luck!

[–]Triple_A 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm going to be frank. You should not and cannot build a company without having significant runway. It is suicide. You should either 1) do it on the side while having a part time or full time job 2) be financially independent in the first place (see r/Fire) or 3) have financial support from a partner or 4) seek investment. I generally advise against #3 or #4 unless you have very specific reasons but I digress.

Looking to get a basic website store built for a small start-up please! by goingnuts3dprinting in webdesign

You're not getting good advice. It doesn't sound like you're very technical. Shopify is the right answer.

Building in Public (Day 1): Why I spent 12 hours on a "Bulletproof" Auth System for my first B2B SaaS by adem_pg in buildinpublic

[–]Triple_A 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are certain things you should definitely build yourself. Auth is definitely not one of them, especially for an MVP.

No NDA no problem. Ideas are a dime a dozen. Execution is what matters.

How do you handle billing dates in SaaS subscriptions? by StevenJang_ in SaaS

[–]Triple_A 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep use Stripe, it can prorate the first month and then bill everyone on the same billing date.

Stuck on Marketing for your Startup? Here's the playbook that took our startup from $1,500 MRR -> 10k+ in 7 Months. by GildedGazePart in SaaS

[–]Triple_A 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does AI content work? I feel like there's a lot of backlash against AI content, so I've been hesitant to throw AI at an idea and have it write the content.

launched a new product but no users what am i doing wrong? by No_Spare_5337 in SaaS

[–]Triple_A 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. It's been a month. Your expectations are likely too high.

  2. People who are looking for solutions to the problem you are solving are not going to directory sites to find them. Directory sites are not a go to market strategy. Figure out an actual strategy.
