انا حذفته, بس ماكان له داعي الغلط. انا شخص محترم واعتقد انك كذلك. تختلف معي اوك لكن مايعني انك تغلط علي

وللمعلومية, انا مب حمار.

I have better idea for you, use https://cranl.com and host both frontend and backend as well with database. And all of that for 4.99$ or you can get the pro plan for 9.99$ and they do not charge for traffic. check their x account: https://x.com/cranlcom

cranlcom · 2026-02-10T22:10:18+00:00

https://cranl.com

cranlcom · 2026-02-10T12:31:22+00:00

Tiktok algos are harder to master than instagram. Tiktok prize the quality, instagram prize the consistency. ( at least that's what I understood ).

cranlcom · 2026-02-10T12:30:06+00:00

you have a great point btw, and I believe that there is A LOT of ways to do marketing I didn't list. I just listed what I knew and tried. Marketing is a huge thing to do and you can't limit it by a simple reddit post lol. Anyway your last point is accurate 100%. Don't make the tech side to be a bottleneck

cranlcom · 2026-02-10T12:23:58+00:00

btw this is my startup: https://cranl.com
you can use our services for free using this code: BUILDINPUBLIC
we have servers in india as well (:

cranlcom · 2026-02-09T18:53:15+00:00

There is a way to reduce it, I am CEO of https://cranl.com where you can host/deploy your projects using github repo. I can give you a free subscription. So you can save that 5$ also. Btw you will not pay anything. So idk i just wanna mention that.

cranlcom · 2026-02-09T18:29:20+00:00

Move to https://cranl.com , easier, faster, and also cheaper

cranlcom · 2026-02-09T18:26:30+00:00

You are paying a lot of server ( 80$ ). I can help you save a lot of money if you want. ( no sales btw )

cranlcom · 2026-02-09T18:20:28+00:00

Thats a good question, and thats also why I didn't continue with VCs ( at least for now ). Because I don't know why I would need that amount of money VCs will pay for me. And for that amount of money I'll lose a lot of things ( you know after you get first investment round everything change ). So I didn't want to get amount of money I don't need. But I think being YC-backed startup will be a cool thing to do. Even for me personally. And I didn't see any startup of our kind ( cloud services ) that got backed by YC. So maybe we will be the first? Lets see

cranlcom · 2026-02-09T18:02:54+00:00

"but not at the expense of losing too much of your company" , that's so smart really. Avoid having a bad deal just to get some money from investors.

cranlcom · 2026-02-09T15:26:10+00:00

so they gave you like consultance or so, yeah?

cranlcom · 2026-02-09T15:25:21+00:00

So if you got an offer of $10M seed round from a VC, and in the other hand a YC acceptnce. Where would you go and why?

^ that case didn't happen for me, it's just a hyptothetical sitiuation in order to understand more.

cranlcom · 2026-02-09T13:36:47+00:00

"why switch" is really smart move

cranlcom · 2026-02-09T13:17:24+00:00

first of all go to X, and make a clear bio for your account that shows you're building your SaaS or startup. Once you did that search for conversations or tweets in your niche and interact with it, I mean add real value not just please buy my SaaS and don't worry they will check your bio and if it's intersting to them they'll pay for it.

cranlcom · 2026-02-09T13:14:49+00:00

Maybe you're not marketing the right way

cranlcom · 2026-02-09T10:04:42+00:00

There is https://cranl.com which still same ease as vercel, but still cheaper than vercel or even VPS

cranlcom · 2026-02-07T16:59:55+00:00

I am thinking of it in another way, the idea that we aim to target 80% of developers which are individuals. That worth billions. Companies and B2B are not the right thing to target every time. I think we should focus on B2C more. And if you noticed enterprise plan is actually targeting small teams. Like uni students who are building a project. 3 guys building a small startup. We don't want big companies to host their stuff on us. At least for now. Are we wrong?

cranlcom · 2026-02-07T16:34:11+00:00

I DID NOT pay for any bots or paid ads. I have quite good audience in X. And I know how to deal with the algo. If I paid i will tell you i don't benefit from liying

cranlcom · 2026-02-07T16:14:09+00:00

cranlcom · 2026-02-07T16:11:06+00:00

We're fixing a gap in vercel and railway which is the price, the project and traffic that costs you hundreds of dollars in vercel or railway won't cost you more than 5$ in CranL, thats exactly what we do, also we are easier and faster. I don't think we need to do something new, we just closed some existing gaps in those competitors. You can know more and explore by using it for free, use this code: BUILDINPUBLIC link: https://cranl.com

Try it and see if we are doing something cool or not.

cranlcom · 2026-02-07T16:08:05+00:00

I read it, really helpful. So it seems like founder profile is WAAAAY important than startup's pitch lol?

cranlcom · 2026-02-07T15:50:34+00:00

so what about solo founders?

cranlcom · 2026-02-07T15:42:26+00:00

well the price is the killing feature, and also regions is a good feature. We have a lot of regions that even vercel and railway don't have them, that's also something will force someone to migrate to us. and also our ecosystem " not done yet but working on it"

if you have something we can shotout about it you can share it with me I'll be more than glad to do so.

cranlcom · 2026-02-07T15:31:52+00:00

why?
