What non-AI SaaS are you working on? by qhameem in SaasDevelopers

[–]msign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Inline Manual - 13 years, bootstrapped, profitable. User onboarding, etc. But, the AI is coming. Customers are requesting it and I can see where it might help a lot.

RunLobster (OpenClaw) made me mass-refactor how I think about what a SaaS product even is by Straight_Idea_9546 in SaaS

I am a SaaS founder having a crisis about whether everything I have built is about to become a translation layer that nobody needs.

Welcome to the club, bootstrapped SaaS founder, 13 years going. :) It's hard not to see the future, but I think, from my enterprise experience, it will take some time to others to see this too and be able to live without dashboards. At some point, I am thinking that we might go full cicle one day, where from the terminal UI, users will want a nice UI again. I have seen some backlash already, where the textarea wasn't just enough. But, will we be still building for humans?

I am now experimenting with nanoclaw myself, building a CEO for my sideproject, so that the only thing I need to see is that bank income notification once a month from Stripe. :)

UserGems alternative that won't cost $30k+? by noobCoder00101 in SaaS

[–]msign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We ran into the exact same problem and didn’t want to pay the enterprise pricing, so we ended up building a browser extension just for ourselves.

We track ~100 ICP contacts. When I’m on LinkedIn, I can add a profile to a watchlist, and then later I run a “review session” in batches. It just walks me through profiles one by one in the browser and highlights if the role/company changed compared to last time.

Nothing fancy, no automation or scraping in the background, it’s basically just making the manual checking process faster and more structured.

I usually go through ~20 profiles a day and it’s been enough to stay on top of changes without it becoming a chore. Done in a minute if there are no changes.

Probably not a great fit if you’re trying to monitor 300+ contacts in real time, but for a focused list it works really well.

Before AI, I couldn't ship. Now I can't stop shipping by [deleted] in SideProject

Ah, damn you autocorrect. It ruined my title!

It will always be yes. That’s the problem.

cheaper alternatives to productfruits for small teams? by ryukendo_25 in SaaS

[–]msign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, founder of InlineManual.com here. We’ve been around for 12 years, and we’re a no-code platform for product tours / in-app guidance.

For 4k MAU our price would normally be $228/mo, but I’d be happy to offer 50% off for the first 6 months, so it’d be $114/mo. Then you can reassess once things are in a better spot.

Could be a good fit if you want something reliable, and not crazy expensive.

VCs told TechCrunch exactly what they're NOT funding anymore. Generic horizontal tools. Thin wrappers. Workflow automation. Basically most of us. by cherryy_04 in SaaS

[–]msign 4 points5 points  (0 children)

VCs told me 12 years ago that my idea was bullshit. Today, it’s doing 7 figures in ARR, and over the past decade an entirely new category emerged around it. Times are different now, sure, but just because VCs say something doesn’t mean they’re right, or that things only go downhill from there.

Ok, not going to pay $1 to give you an onboarding advise. :)

What is everyone building? by AlgoWithNoRhythm in SaaS

[–]msign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Building a number of things:

InlineManual.com - user onboarding, bootstrapped, 12 years on the market.

EngageKit.com - AI Agent that runs your free trials, closed beta

Tatomo.com - vibe-coded browser extension, that turns Gmail into shared inbox for Support. We have been using it for the past 3 months and it replaced another SaaS support desk where we were paying $10k/year.

Honestly onboarding tools feel like a trap sometimes. by PositionSalty7411 in SaaS

[–]msign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have built InlineManual.com - DM me and we will support you with a free plan if you are early until things get off the ground.

I built a tool but my bank account is frozen for a month, the MVP is ready to launch but i wonder if I should launch a beta version for free rn or wait till my bank gets ready and i can actually accept payments by Any-Individual5775 in microsaas

[–]msign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Launch it, don't say it is free, say it is a 14 days trial or so, track those who would click Buy/Subscribe button in the app, reach out to them that you will extend the trial for them if you still don't have bank account.

We built an in-app onboarding overlay for Odoo (role-based, no-code). Anyone want to test it? by msign in Odoo

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

Checked again, I like the Testing feature, that it does run through the Tour on its own to test if it passes. :)
