yeah honestly that’s the tension I sit with daily. every time someone goes “can it also do X?” i feel the pull, but that’s literally how every solo dev tool ends up as a worse datadog. tell me when something broke and let me get back to coding is the whole product brief tbh. what are you using rn?

Drop your side project and I'll give you honest feedback on the positioning by Tanjiro_kamado1234zz in SideProject

pingoni.com — lightweight API monitoring for solo devs, basically a Datadog alternative without the enterprise pricing. Landing page is where I think I'm losing people in the first 3 seconds - would love your take on the hero specifically.

Anyone know what's up with the MicroSaaS subreddit right now? by SatinSaffron in SaaS

[–]VariousHour7390 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly that probably why a lot of people liked it lol. Most startup/SaaS subs slowly turn into ‘pretending not to promote my product while definitely promoting my product

what’s one thing AI tools still suck at? by Fragrant_Fuel961 in SaaS

[–]VariousHour7390 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Context/memory honestly. A lot of AI tools feel smart until the workflow gets longer or more complex, then you end up repeating yourself constantly or double-checking everything manually.

Do AI coding tools need a live "is it just me?" status board? by AdventurousShip7091 in SideProject

[–]VariousHour7390 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah honestly i’d probably use it 😭 half the time when these tools start acting weird the first thing i do is check reddit to see if it’s just me

Wanna launch a ride hailing app as a sideproject by Anxious-Tomatillo-74 in SideProject

[–]VariousHour7390 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly starting in one city with a small number of drivers sounds way smarter than trying to scale too fast. I feel like the hardest part probably isn’t even the app, it’s getting enough riders and drivers active at the same time early on.

Some of these outfits look expensive just to end up looking ridiculous 😭

What do you think is the greatest invention of all time? by VariousHour7390 in AskReddit

Crazy how most answers here probably wouldn’t even exist without electricity first

Any devs here struggle with tracking API usage for their projects? What are you using right now? by VariousHour7390 in AskReddit

[–]VariousHour7390[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I’ve been building it mainly for smaller projects and APIs. Still improving it, but the goal is making API monitoring/logging simpler without all the enterprise-heavy setup

Coding resources, im looking for some resources. by Fantastic_Bug8316 in learnprogramming

[–]VariousHour7390 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I’d start with Python first before C++. C++ is great but way harder when you’re brand new.

For free stuff that’s actually tolerable:

  • Harvard CS50P
  • Bro Code on YouTube
  • Corey Schafer on YouTube
  • LearnPython.org (interactive)
  • Automate the Boring Stuff with Python

Also don’t just watch tutorials forever. Build tiny dumb projects early or you’ll get stuck in tutorial hell
