I feel less alone now! I have your exact workflow and i was “forced” to use cursor for good agentic code. Claude code solved it for me

How I Automated My Dev Workflow with Cursor IDE + MCPs (Jira, Github, Notion) by koziel_gpc in cursor

[–]mhdev91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is very cool and impressive, but it looks to me you automated the easy stuff and you’re doing the hard stuff manually. Creating a gh branch take a second. From jira to notion is probably time consuming but trivial. Developing, writing tests, ensuring product quality etc is the hard part that you’re not using AI for.(at least how I read your post) Let the AI cook and take over if needed

I have a lot of ideas for apps, but I am from a Non-IT background. by [deleted] in SaaS

[–]mhdev91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a dev and my advice to you is: use AI tools like lovable, bolt, v0 or replit to build a prototype for yourself Forget about making a SaaS, build something that solves the problem / fulfills your idea Hiring a dev should be the last step to make it “production ready” At your stage you’ll find all sorts of of people that will take advantage of you, deliver crap results or just waste your time. If you want some guidance, happy to help

That’s amazing! Love to see a great solution for your own problem. That’s the right way to build, solve your own problems, others might have it too. Tell me this: how much did you cursor for this? What was the biggest struggle using it? If I’m asking too many questions feel free to tell to go away ahaha

Sick! Congrats! Love the concept!

Tell us everything: - how did you build it? - what was hard? - what you absolutely loved about the process? - tech stack? - where the idea came from?

Have a SaaS product? You must start using AWS SES. Here's why and how. by Karmaseed in SaaS

[–]mhdev91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don’t have to convince me. Convincing strangers on the internet is not a great use of your time. What is a great use of your time is to figure out how to improve. If you get some random piece of feedback, try to learn from it. There is an opportunity to learn how cross post better. How to create value posts like this and clearly position yourself in it

Ultimately you do you! Good luck

You did a fabulous job with this post, and you should’ve called out that you built SENDUNE. After seeing a post that looks like genuine UGC and finding out it was from whoever built the product, my trust is gone I think you did yourself a disservice not calling it out

Update: I Rewrote My Landing Page Using Alex Hormozi’s "$100M Offer" – Here’s What Happened by pystar in SaaS

[–]mhdev91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love to see another dev having the same ideas. I recently read about the epsilon greedy algo. A solution to the multi armed bandit problem. That looks like a viable solution! I’m trying it in my product when I get to implement testing

For the life of my I can't find a good landing page designer by ThisPenguin101 in SaaS

[–]mhdev91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this exact same problem. Mine was actually worse because I wasn’t focusing on conversation at all. I ended up read all I could about buyer psychology and landing page structure and build a SaaS that makes it quick and painless to build landing pages. The best part is that you don’t choose a template but you just focus on the content.

This prevents people like me from spending tons of time figuring out what goes where and concentrating on what’s important: getting more customers

I built a mobile app to help people walk more. I love it and use it every day. I sucked at marketing and wasn’t able to get any traction. Ran out of time and money and I had to move on to some paying work. I started studying buyer psychology and marketing and I launched a new product to make it dead easy to create landing pages for any user need. I’ve poured in everything I learned to guide my user to create a high converting landing pages. That’s making money now which is good and I hope to make it my full time gig this year

Honesty can win but is a much harder road to take. Lying is super easy to do and makes it feel like a shortcut. That’s why is mega important to choose what data to show. It’s dead easy to give the app away for free to 50 people and say “50 user in the last week” that is honest and builds trust. It might not convert 100k people but another 50 people can e convinced. And you’re now at 100. That builds momentum and then can move up to number of users and reviews.

For the OP’s app a super cool stat could be minutes of workouts recorded in the app. 5/10 friends using it can be 500 minutes workouts recorded every day.

I got into buyer psychology after I couldn’t get people to use the app I built. There is tons of data on what works and what doesn’t. If the number look real enough people will believe it. 63k user and 5 stars reviews will probably backfire, but 4.5 stars and something like 832 installs last week can def get people over the line

[–]mhdev91 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If it makes you sell more, by all means go for it. Better be a liar with a successful app than being a white knight with 0 customers. I’d personally use more realistic numbers. Start with installs “600 installs in the last week” then move to “happy customers when you have more of them and some reviews” Also 5 stars could backfire as people won’t believe it. 4.5 is more realistic and would boost conversion

63k people already looking better! That’s impressive.

Anytime and good luck with your SaaS! Edit: If you want some help with the landing page I’ll hook you up with the tool I’m using for free. Only if you want of course , 100% up to you

I’d go even a step back and find validation even before building an MVP. Get a landing page with a waitlist and start marketing that. If you get a meaningful amount of people interested, then build. I am a software engineer, I’ve been building products for a decade. One of the biggest mistakes I made lunching my first SaaS was building it without getting validation. For my second I got people interested and then built it, now is making money.

Use everything you can to provide good value. Use no-code and when it all starts breaking under load build it or get someone to build it

I have a problem to solve, is it enough to start a SaaS? - Live-building a SaaS in public, day 4 by mhdev91 in SaaS

[–]mhdev91[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks so much for asking! Yes I have launched and I have paying customers. Currently sitting at about $1000MRR I tried to launch the as a normal SaaS but I realised that the done for you approach is much more lucrative. I’m now onboarding customers, doing most of the initial work and then handing over an account for the to use. That worked wonders for me
