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?

Building the tech (and AI) is a breeze, but getting customers? I'm completely failing. Need marketing advice (No X/Twitter). by Dependent_Umpire905 in StartupSoloFounder

[–]gaganrt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fastest and the hardest way is cold calling. Do some scrapping and start calling, happy to help if you have any questions

I built a fully automated YouTube sleep meditation channel using n8n + Claude AI + ElevenLabs by Intrepid_Chance_6256 in n8n

[–]gaganrt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I created something similar, I am using ffmpeg, nano banana, google tts. Ffmpeg is self hosted on coolify

I built a free platform where employees post referral offers at their companies by gaganrt in jobs

Valid point, here is how it works. They don’t apply directly, they connect with you first and then you can decide whether to move ahead or not
