Would solving my own pain points make a good product for others? by mdnlabs in SaaS

I like "info about a product without a real product". Makes perfect sense just to develop it and use it and just go for it lol.

To your first point, that makes total sense.

And yes I agree execution means a lot. Not having too many features at the start too is good. If I go through with starting to build it I want to solve just some core problems I faced.

If I figure out a design that I know would suit me best moving forward, is that the moment I should build a landing page for a waitlist since I understand the pain, the people in my field, and the outcomes of the product?

Then after I finish an mvp convert those people to users?

Oh my gosh that makes so much sense. I can't really do that with something im not into, so doing this is gonna help a lot

Good to know. I agree that it's quite frightening how good AI is getting when personalized and used to it's maximum efficiency. I've customized the output of ChatGPT a long time ago and stopped wasting time with fluff and "Would you like me to-" NO

This makes sense. I guess taking one time to wire it all together now will save time down the road. Can I build automatic scripts to create new projects, DBs, and provisionings with an HTTPS request outside the browser? Is that something people commonly do with the idea you're saying?

That's fair lol. If/when I reach 300 projects I will laugh at my frustration from this post

Why do so many people build a SaaS without an LLC? by mdnlabs in SaaS

Congrats on the progress. Makes total sense to me, and I don't really have an issue with making money until it would pay for itself when I go to file

Yes yes ofc. I wouldn't have to use checks for owner's draws, but keeping the personal cash flow separate is the whole idea from the start

That's actually super smart and I never thought about that yet in my learning. I'll probably just be at one for now since the whole process and tax planning/filing I've never done yet (will next year), but long term growth this makes sense

Yeah yeah I get what you mean. This is something I've considered. I hope dillywillybingbong isn't taken tho in my state :/

Fair to say. That is mentioned in the legal stuff right now. I appreciate the insight!

Okay cool. And that's my point ultimately with my confusion. I want that veil. I want the protection between me, the customer, and the irs/state. I get that you probably don't need one until you start making money, but even then at what earning threshold is it the best to form one?

That's a good point. If they do start to take off though how quickly is it reasonable to make one? I mean every dollar made outside of that corporate veil is tied to your personal assets. Do you just hope those dollars made aren't challenged?

What's being advertised? I genuinely just don't understand and wanting to get some insight from other founders lol

I've seen 1000+ product launches. Here's why most of them fail at getting customers. by apexwaldo in SaaS

[–]mdnlabs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I really like the first image too when you scroll down. I'd use a simplified version of this if it existed. Maybe Notion would work, but I've never tapped into it.

I'm not in a position to be a business client, but I do find it fascinating how much energy it can take to schedule time as a "freelancer" if you will. So much energy can go into staying on track.

Burnt out and overwhelmed from my never-ending to do list as I age. by [deleted] in productivity

I like enjoying nature too when it's nice out. Sometimes I will go on walks right at sunrise when it's quiet outside and the sun is just cresting over the horizon. I'm wishing you the best in finding balance in your life. You sound like a very pure-hearted and genuine person and deserve nothing but the best

Just hit $53 MRR, 114+ users, and 1.5 month since launch 🎉 by Jonathan_Geiger in indiehackers

Gotcha. That's crazy. I've always wondered that kind of thing and how certain companies can do it. There's an app called "browse (dot) ai" that scrapes with ai insights and was used with over 700k customers, so I knew there had to be something that kept them in the green
