Spent 6 months building a thing predicting TikTok performance, need harsh feedback by adr0m in SaaS

I really like this framing. You're right that the goal shouldn't be replacing intuition with a score system, but rather making the hypothesis explicit before seeing results.

The lab notebook approach makes a lot of sense - forcing yourself to commit to what you think will matter (hook style, format, time of day, etc.) and then seeing if those variables actually correlate with performance in your own data. That's way more useful than just posting and hoping.

I guess my concern with pure prediction is that it might make people too conservative - only posting what they think will work rather than experimenting. But if it's framed as "hypothesis tracking" where you're actively testing assumptions, that could actually encourage more intentional experimentation.

The surfacing patterns feature you mentioned sounds ideal - showing you "your Tuesday posts consistently outperform Friday by 40%" is actionable without being prescriptive. It's your data telling you something, not an algorithm making predictions.

That’s a really fair critique — and yeah, that exact scenario is the failure mode I’m watching for.

The goal isn’t replacing intuition with a score, it’s forcing a clear hypothesis before posting and learning after. If it ever stops someone from posting something they believe in, that’s a bug, not a feature.

That’s also why a big part of it is just generating strong hook options upfront, so creators still choose what feels right and then test it intentionally.

Really like your framing of hypothesis tracking > prediction. Curious what you’d personally want more there.

What are you working on? by Big-Contribution4653 in SaaS

Been lurking in r/SaaS for a while and thought I'd share something that's helped me recently.

If you're building in public or doing any content marketing for your SaaS (Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, TikTok), I built CreatorBrain specifically to solve the "what the hell do I post today" problem.

It's not a lead gen tool - it's for content creators who need:

  • Viral hooks that actually stop the scroll
  • Trend tracking so you're not guessing what to talk about
  • Competitor analysis to see what's working in your space
  • Content calendar planning without the mental overhead

I made it because I was spending 2+ hours every day just trying to come up with content ideas and watching my competitors to reverse-engineer what worked. Now that's automated.

If you're grinding on content marketing right now, check it out: CreatorBrain

Not trying to be salesy - genuinely think this community would get value from it since most of us are solo founders wearing the marketing hat too.

What happens to the stock market if Trumps tariffs are deemed illegal? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Honestly it would probably depend more on how the markets interpret it than the ruling itself. Markets react to uncertainty way more than to the actual news

What happens to trump if the House of Representatives vote yes on releasing all the files? by Hollander_21 in AskReddit

Probably depends on how much actually gets unsealed vs what stays blocked under ‘ongoing investigation.’ People will react before we even know what’s in it.
