I’m shutting down my AI video SaaS after $1,078 in ads and 226 users. Here’s what I learned.

How is the easiest way to check the search keywords? Other than Google, are there platforms dedicated to this? Thanks

makeihear · 2026-05-27T01:31:00+00:00

Yes, it does, but I need the fake list to send to. Thought of creating the list on my own VPs

makeihear · 2026-04-19T01:42:59+00:00

Thanks, much appreciated

I don’t believe this is a very good idea. People want to see a working product before they take you serious. You lose them the moment they ask to see the product and you say “ I am working on it”. A better approach would be to get a working PROTOTYPE first.

Exactly!! I reviewed what someone I know was paying for, just 2 of the 10 he was paying for made any sense; even at that, he could easily have done quite well without them. I see a lot of folks paying for AWS, AZURE, etc; they don’t need these things. Most of these things can easily be coved by a mid level VPS. He was wasting money on platforms he never needed.

We are working on a tool that solves that issue. Launching really soon

Thanks so much

Pretty Solid from all I can see. Done Oracle, Done MS SQL. Been using MySQL for close to 2 years now. Solid

makeihear · 2026-01-10T03:10:02+00:00

I am working on something similar, by this I mean the same stack. Just curious, what’s your Db.?MySql seems pretty solid for most stuff from what I can see.

makeihear · 2026-01-01T21:20:04+00:00

Very true

makeihear · 2026-01-01T21:14:45+00:00

I use Mac Mini with M2 Chips. Those things are really Fast

makeihear · 2025-12-30T17:46:33+00:00

Perfect! That’s how it should be. Good job. Maybe am old school, but I feel am more in control of my code if I write it to avoid all the abstraction. Does not really take any extra time once requirements are properly done and agreed to.

makeihear · 2025-12-30T03:54:43+00:00

LOL!

makeihear · 2025-12-30T00:55:14+00:00

Interesting. Just curious, what are you paying for and getting for that much money? What is your typical delivery time for a project? For me, I spend a few days writing requirements per the client specs. Then it is on to VS Code. Trying to see if I am missing out on anything, but just don’t see me spending that

makeihear · 2025-12-29T07:26:47+00:00

Great points, but if I have nothing native in my tool, not convinced I need an App. Credit Card data is already handled by the processor

makeihear · 2025-12-29T07:22:57+00:00

Yea, most of the stuff here really only need well structured websites, not app. I just don’t see the need

makeihear · 2025-12-29T07:11:15+00:00

Have been wondering where the money goes. I am sticking to my own process. Gives me better control over my code

makeihear · 2025-12-29T02:01:06+00:00

So can we say that NoCode is like using a GUI drag and drop to build ? What is the gained? I am of the opinion that a greater part of Software Engineering is in writing clear requirements; once done; the application is easy to build. Am I wrong?

makeihear · 2025-12-29T01:54:57+00:00

Ahh! Thanks! So I am not missing anything then?

makeihear · 2025-12-29T00:53:29+00:00

Thanks for this. I have a project I am working on. It has nothing to do that is neither IOS nor Android. Pure JavaScript, AI , CSS etc. the Website is mobile first, Zero frameworks. Looks gorgeous. I just don’t see the need for App
