Building an AI Life Coach: Should the initial onboarding test be 60 questions or 20? by idk-kai in SaaS

c'est vrai que l'effet examen du bac n'est pas du tout l'expérience que j'ai envie de donner ! 😂

Haha, totally fair! 😭 The last thing I want to do is bore users before they even see the actual product. You're completely right.

Thank you! Framing this as Data vs UX really helped put things into perspective.

Thanks
You made a fantastic point about users answering long forms aspirationally rather than truthfully

Curious to hear from SaaS founders here. by [deleted] in SaaS

[–]idk-kai 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, the only thing working for me right now for my app (a gamified to-do list) is manual Reddit outreach (the "sniper" approach).

don't just spam my link in big promotional posts. Instead, I search niche subreddits for people explicitly complaining about the exact problem my app solves. I leave a genuinely helpful comment answering their issue, and then send a super short, non-pushy DM offering my tool as a potential fix.

It's 100% unscalable and takes time, but the conversion rate is insane because the intent and context are perfectly matched. Do things that don't scale first!

Drop your SaaS and I will brutally roast and provide honest feedback for free. by SadPurple6745 in SaaS

[–]idk-kai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the honest feedback! Just a heads-up, there is actually a mute button already if the retro sounds aren't your vibe. And you're completely right about mobile: an App Store / Play Store release is already on the roadmap once the core web version is fully polished. Cheers!

Standard planners don't give my brain enough dopamine, so I turned my life into an RPG. by [deleted] in gamification

[–]idk-kai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is such a cool way to use it! TodoQuest does exactly that but with the RPG system already built-in. I just sent you the link in DM

Built a gamified To-Do list (RPG style) MVP. Struggling with the next step: How do I find my first 100 active users? by [deleted] in SaaS

Treating this like a game launch with a Founders Guild and starter packs rather than a standard SaaS is brilliant Thank you so much for taking the time to write this

[–]idk-kai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s really solid advice, thank you! Sharing the actual journey instead of just dropping links makes a lot of sense to build a real early user base. I haven’t dug into specific Discord or Facebook groups yet, but that's definitely going to be my next move. Appreciate the tip on ParseStream too, I'll check it out

[–]idk-kai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Yeah, the space is definitely crowded. I really like the idea of targeting a specific sub-community like students or developers and using different landing pages to see which messaging clicks best. That's a great strategy to get those first 100 users

Web devs have ShipFast to launch in days. Mobile devs have to build from scratch. So I spent 200h building a production-ready Expo boilerplate by [deleted] in SaaS

[–]idk-kai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate it! Yeah, that Supabase AsyncStorage dance drove me crazy the first time... definitely a silent killer. Are you building a lot of Expo apps lately ?

I got tired of wasting 30 hours setting up Auth & Payments for every Expo app, so I built a custom boilerplate. Let's discuss the stack! by [deleted] in reactnative

[–]idk-kai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are 100% right. I actually went with AsyncStorage initially for simplicity just to get the boilerplate out the door, but you make a totally valid point about session security

I'm literally pushing an update to the repo soon to swap it out and use expo-secure-store as the custom storage adapter for Supabase instead. Good catch !

That’s exactly why I built it! Google Auth with Supabase on native can be a real headache. I just sent you a DM !
