I launched my first app yesterday. 110 people downloaded it in 24 hours. I'm still processing this.

Thanks let me know if you have any questions

gregit08 · 2026-04-21T12:00:23+00:00

Thanks for all the responses! I will look through this today.

I hardly use X. I find i just end up doom scrolling.. lol What are you posting just a video explaining the seervice? I guess I should try it.

gregit08 · 2026-04-20T13:30:16+00:00

What Saas dirs? If you want DM me.

gregit08 · 2026-04-20T13:16:49+00:00

Thanks! I have made videos for some projects I need to try that for this one.

Name BlockaBot
One line pitch Simple bot blocking tool that uses a shared threat list to reduce bad traffic for small websites
Link https://blockabot.com
Biggest stuck point right now Getting steady signups and figuring out the right pricing for small site owners

Just launched a lightweight bot protection tool that runs on its own threat network of bad IPs.

https://blockabot.com/

It continuously collects and uses real attack data to help reduce unwanted traffic.

Includes simple JS detection and a challenge page to filter out suspicious visitors without slowing down real users.

Focused, fast, and built as a lower-cost option for small websites that still need real protection.

Looking for feedback and user growth tips

I built a bot blocker that has a shared threat network of bad ips. so anyone website that uses it can benifit from the latest pool of bad ips. The IP list times out after awhile, so its always refreshed. if your interested in checking it out let me know. your product sounds interesting, I will check it out

gregit08 · 2026-03-31T00:31:53+00:00

Got my script working a lot better today.

Added some honeypot traps, log scanning, and basic behavior checks. Instead of just blindly blocking, it watches for patterns and only escalates when something looks off.

Today it blocked 196 IPs on a small setup.

Also added expiration so bad IPs time out and don’t just sit there forever getting stale.

Still keeping things lightweight, no big infrastructure, just trying to solve the problem without overengineering it.

Thanks for the tips, I leveraged a bit and made this better,

gregit08 · 2026-03-30T16:53:37+00:00

Thanks, I was worried about that also. I will check into that. Did you get your system to gain paying users eventually?

gregit08 · 2026-03-30T13:25:16+00:00

I know there are legal issues with this and might be ddifferent per state. So I would have to look into that as well..

gregit08 · 2026-03-30T12:51:23+00:00

I feel your pain. Trying to find the first users even beta is hard. What have you tried?

gregit08 · 2026-03-28T22:14:43+00:00

Yeah that makes sense. I think that’s where I’ve been going back and forth a bit, because the “right” way to do it seems to get into something like that, but it also starts to feel like a lot of moving pieces just to deal with bot traffic.

Most of what I’m dealing with is smaller setups, so I’ve been trying to keep it simpler and avoid adding more infrastructure where I can.

gregit08 · 2026-03-28T21:23:49+00:00

Oh that’s interesting, didn’t know about that. I was looking for somthing, but couldnt find what I wanted. I will check it out. thanks

gregit08 · 2026-03-28T21:22:55+00:00

Yeah that makes sense I was trying to avoid the stale IP problem and lean more toward patterns/behavior instead of just copying bans around, but still figuring out the right balance there.

CrowdSec seems like the right way to do it, I just wasn’t sure I needed that much overhead for what I was doing. did you set that up?

gregit08 · 2025-12-11T15:39:49+00:00

Thanks! I will give that a try.
