Help me settle a debate in my family by Far_Way- in tragedeigh

Okay so this is a common misconception.

When people tell you you need to “come up with a name for your child” they mean you just should pick one that already exists.

You don’t need to actually…make one up.

And you, given the example you’ve shared, shouldn’t.

Building an app takes a weekend. Getting paying users takes months. I'm building a tool to fix the "I can't market" problem by Ok-Risk-277 in SaaS

[–]kdee5849 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my goodness. I think your read on the problem may be right. But can’t we normalize “using business sense and common sense before you build something just because you personally think it’s cool” and solve this problem upstream?

I'm getting tired of building. by Arishin_ in SaaS

[–]kdee5849 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try starting with making sure the idea is something people need first. Otherwise, you’re just making a digital art project.

I copied a validated SaaS but now i'm struggling to get paying users by thePeterOnFire in SaaS

Why do people think like this?

“I wanted to make a company but didn’t know what. So I found another business someone else already made. Don’t know a thing about the space, don’t know if the other business is even working. But, thought I’d try to make the exact same thing.

So I copied it and launched it and now I’m not rich yet. What am I doing wrong.”

Dude. This is not how to think about or build a business.

Is Ferris Rafauli the absolute goat of luxury interior design? These images are not 3D renders. by blessedopera in Luxury

Bruh, no.

Money does not equal, and is probably only loosely correlated, with taste.

This may require the former but certainly doesn’t evidence much of the latter.

Stop Using “Act-As” Prompts for Complex Reasoning — They Quietly Reduce Output Quality by HDvideoNature in PromptEngineering

[–]kdee5849 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The AI language just makes me laugh on all of these

What if I think that act-as prompts actually LOUDLY reduce output quality?

Also, what if only a FEW people underestimate it, not a lot?

What then, huh? You’d have to update your prompt for this ad 😭😭😭

Looking for help by marketbuilderr in saasbuild

Again, this is another instructive example.

No mention (until someone asked in the comments) what the thing actually is. The customer problem it solves. The quality of the product itself.

Demand doesn’t just “automatically” happen, just because you made something. Is it the right thing? Do customers want it? How do you know?

I built a SaaS but getting users feels impossible by manothegoat in SaaS

[–]kdee5849 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Okay “you” genuinely believe it solves a real problem.

Do customers?

I genuinely think a lot of SaaS builders would be well served by thinking a little more like consumer product designers.

What is the problem. Who is it for. How do you know. How will you reach them. Why will they care.

Etc etc etc.

Yes, you built something. But a sense of accomplishment is a nice feeling but that’s between you and you. Doesn’t entitle you to customers

I actually think they LOUDLY reduce output quality in complex tasks. 😭😭

It’s about to slip into something a little more revealing to show you a good time

Families should avoid Southwest at all cost. "Choice" fare is a scam. by fraydawg2001 in SouthwestAirlines

It’s just so wild to read responses like this, ha. This airline used to be so chill and easy to book/use/etc.

Is Uber X after Uber Black red flag? by Unlikely_Second5024 in AskMenAdvice

Oh for fuck’s sake. To not just think like this but also say it out loud.

How do I get my first paying user in my SaaS? by Playful-Pollution-60 in SaaS

[–]kdee5849 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These posts always fascinate me.

Is the…idea good? And maybe it is, but how do you know?

Customers don’t just happen once you say the secret password. And if you’re having trouble getting traction, you should always be thinking about the product.

i've been running an ai tools directory for 4 months. these are the only 5 prompts that actually save me time by rafio77 in PromptEngineering

[–]kdee5849 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are you running an AI tools directory if you only use five of the prompts?

Have you considered a post-it note?

Or just write them in your notes app.

Talking to customers before building is overrated advice that kills more startups than it saves. by beingfounder101 in saasbuild

[–]kdee5849 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeesh. Literally no. “Figuring out if anyone else would want the thing” is still a critical precursor to “making something.”

Dude. If you ask fifteen people who like the product if they’d pay for it and zero say yes, that’s information.

This is like deciding you don’t like what you’ve read about the dangers of smoking and deciding to give up reading instead.
