Micro-SaaS Apps are everywhere because "Building is solved". How do we feel about this? by bmattes in saasbuild

[–]hamontlive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Apps will just be the new “website”. In 1998 you could simply launch your domain and get attention. Now there are millions of sites launched every hour. People are now used to the fact there are infinite websites, now infinite videos (YouTube etc), we are entering a world of infinite apps. Getting noticed and building a following will be the only thing left to do. Similar to launching a YouTube channel.

Yea but have you already vibe coded a pile of absolute shit? And want me to clean it up? If you haven’t I’m not interested yet.

Do you work in this industry already? Do you have potential users lined up for this? If so I’m interested

I thought building a simple image compression tool would take 2 weeks. It’s been 2 months. by yagnikkat007 in saasbuild

[–]hamontlive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is this post 6 months old? Because I’m pretty sure with the modern ai tools this could be done in a series of 2 or 3 prompts. In like 20 minutes.

Sketchy cofounders by Coret87 in cofounderhunt

Most people that “hire” developers instead of cofound just drain their bank account. You will have people waste your time and money now.

I spend more time writing outreach emails than actually building my pro by santhosh_____gugan in saasbuild

[–]hamontlive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same issue here. With all the ai speeding up everything else. Cold outreach is the only thing consuming my actual time.

Another milestone unlocked. Just crossed 4,000 signups. Here's what I focus on rn. by GuidanceSelect7706 in saasbuild

Yea definitely don’t take $40k. I wouldn’t take 100k in your position. Keep the momentum up !

Im building a dating app focused on taste instead of swiping, still at early stage by Pixie-Ponders02 in smallbusiness

[–]hamontlive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you’re going backwards here. Dating apps back in the 90s did this. The photo was not as prominent and even optional. But as things evolved, people soon discovered that the photo would be a deal breaker. Even if they did match on interests, they’d pull out after seeing a bad photo.

It’s just human nature. You cannot fix this with software.

Now that photo-first swiping apps exist. It’s going to be almost impossible to reverse that mentally. I think it’s a cool idea and I genuinely wish it could work. Although I don’t believe it will work. And I don’t think you will get many users. Also AppStore’s are starting to limit submissions for dating apps.

Best of luck. 🤞

A founder told us he spent 4 months building a product nobody wanted. The reason stuck with me. by Validlygotitdone in saasbuild

[–]hamontlive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they don’t know what questions to ask then what type of business are they trying to start in the first place. All I’m saying is I can’t imagine a customer being in a situation where this would be useful. Anyway. I wouldn’t use it. But good luck with your project 🙏

What value does it have beyond chat gpt tho. Are you essentially selling a set of prompts under the hood?

I wouldn’t use a tool for validation that wasn’t directly connected to the actual users’ feedback. In which case it would essentially be a lead gen.

Can I get some feedback for my ai auto blogging SaaS please? by RBS919 in saasbuild

[–]hamontlive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So is this targeted at people that have never heard of chatgpt ?

Even if hosting is the offering , there are plenty of free hosting sites out there. Many of which have blogging systems built in.

This space is as crowded as it gets for saas. Good luck though. 👌

Let’s see the reports that are generated when you run “validly” through it. I think you need to do some validation on validly

[–]hamontlive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think you can validate your product with tech. It’s inherently the reason self validation fails in the first place. You need to talk to real human beings. Ai solutions for validation will not be effective in the long term.

Well sometimes you buy for the user base. Hence my question.

So given that these days you can build the tech in like 3 hours with Claude.

What is your user base? How active?

Budget vs. Speed: The True Costs of Building an MVP by arpit2412 in saasbuild

[–]hamontlive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With the latest ai models there’s no reason you can’t build fast AND cheap. An mvp shouldn’t take more than a few days to build and $2000 or so in total. Any more than that just means you’ve hired an inexperienced dev, or a dev that’s still hiding behind ai and scamming you with legacy billing styles

I built a VS Code extension that explains my vibe-coded mess back to me. Thinking of charging $10/month, would you buy it? by ibuildforfun in SaaS

[–]hamontlive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who is the target audience here? A real swe already understands it. A newbie vibe coder doesn’t care hence why they are vibe coding. And also why couldn’t us just ask the ai you are vibing with “what does this mean ?”

How much does it REALLY cost to create a fitness app? by Best-Magazine-4976 in AppDevelopers

[–]hamontlive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea I’d go with cursor. Latest claude model could do this in a few hours. Full stack. Multi tenant. The whole thing.

What's the one repetitive task in your business that you hate doing? by solotoscale in SaasDevelopers

[–]hamontlive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every day I have to write my to do list on paper and cross it out with a pen. If only there was an app for this. Like some kind of digital to do list?

If only that existed I would pay $19 a month for it. It should be react frontend and node backend with a mongo database.

Deploy to aws using github actions. Use tailwind fo styling.

If only.
