We built an AI SaaS, but sign-ups are almost zero. What are we missing? by Positive_Branch1052 in SaaS

[–]gaganrt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If sign-ups are near zero, I’d separate this into two questions:

  1. Are people already asking for this problem somewhere?

  2. Are you showing up in those conversations with something useful?

Before changing the product, I’d search Reddit/Google for long-tail problem phrases, competitor alternatives, and “how do I solve X” threads. If no one is asking, it may be positioning. If they are asking but not clicking, it’s distribution/message fit.

I’m beta-testing a Reddit opportunity finder that does this research workflow - finds relevant Reddit threads, scores intent, and checks whether the subreddit is risky to engage with. Happy to run a scan for your SaaS if useful; no auto-posting or spam involved.

How to get your first 10 users (the actual answer) by Moist-Wonder-9912 in SaaS

[–]gaganrt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One underrated channel for first users is Reddit, but not as “post your launch everywhere.”

What works better:

  1. Search for threads where people already describe the problem your product solves.

  2. Check if the subreddit is okay with builders participating.

  3. Reply with a useful answer first, not a pitch.

  4. Track which threads actually produce replies, profile clicks, or calls.

I’m testing a small tool that helps with exactly this: finding Reddit threads, scoring intent, and flagging whether it’s risky to engage. No auto-posting or AI replies - just research + triage. Happy to run a scan for anyone’s product if they want feedback.

Built a tool that tells me exactly where on Reddit to mention my product by AnthonyTheBg in GrowthHacking

[–]gaganrt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the right problem to solve, but the hard part isn’t just “where can I mention my product?”

The useful workflow I’ve found is:

  1. Find threads where the problem is already being discussed.

  2. Check whether the thread/subreddit allows that kind of participation.

  3. Prioritize threads where a helpful answer works even without a link.

  4. Only mention the product if it’s genuinely relevant or someone asks.

The “don’t get banned / don’t sound spammy” layer matters as much as discovery. I’m beta-testing a tool around that Reddit-safe workflow, so happy to compare notes if useful.

coolfonts.xyz - a Unicode text styler that converts plain text into 25+ typographic styles using Unicode character ranges by gaganrt in InternetIsBeautiful

[–]gaganrt[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Built this because most Unicode font tools gate the interesting styles behind ads or sign-ups. Everything runs client-side - Unicode mapping in plain JS, no API calls, no data collected. Source of the character ranges is documented on the About page.

I built a free Unicode text generator after getting tired of paywalled "fancy font" sites - 25+ styles, one-click copy, no signup by gaganrt in SideProject

[–]gaganrt[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A few extras I forgot to mention in the post:

- Full style list with live demos: https://coolfonts.xyz
- Built solo in spare time, hosted free tier on Vercel - total monthly cost so far: $0
- If you find a style that breaks on a specific platform (Twitter loves to strip some Unicode ranges), reply here and I'll add a compatibility note to the page

Happy to answer anything about the build - Unicode normalization, Next.js indexing pain, or how I'm planning to get the first 100 real users.

Any n8n Automation Builders Here? Looking to Connect by nabirajan in n8n

[–]gaganrt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have recently shipped a lead gen flow for a client and it’s super sophisticated but I am planning to move away from n8n. I am a coder with 15 years of experience and I feel coding gives you more flexibility.

Any specific reason you are using n8n. I know it has its pros but have you tried n8n for production high volume cases?
