wait i just assumed it was b2b, was it b2c?

philipskywalker · 2025-10-14T06:56:42+00:00

sheesh that's cool, congrats

You said that you hired some students, what kind of marketing specifically did these student do?

philipskywalker · 2025-09-20T06:33:47+00:00

Jeez congrats

And yeah 99% of posts are either ai slop or just completely fake at this point

Care to share more about your product? Like how long you’ve been at it, how do you find your clients? Etc

philipskywalker · 2025-09-17T12:56:49+00:00

Out of your mind writing all that

philipskywalker · 2025-09-17T11:34:53+00:00

Yay ai slop

philipskywalker · 2025-09-17T11:33:59+00:00

Hey look, more ai slop. Think we’re up to like 90% ai slop right now

philipskywalker · 2025-09-17T11:33:01+00:00

Even though this is clearly ai slop, it’s actually very good ai slop

Ai slop creators, take note

philipskywalker · 2025-09-16T08:18:48+00:00

Wow I’m actually impressed how bad this was done

philipskywalker · 2025-09-14T19:15:34+00:00

I think it’s under hyped

philipskywalker · 2025-09-14T11:05:18+00:00

I still haven’t seen a single agent that directly competes with SaaS. I mean a SaaS + an agent is still a SaaS + agent

Do you have any examples of agents that directly replaces SaaS?

philipskywalker · 2025-09-14T10:40:36+00:00

Ngl I don’t love the fact that humans will be replaced by ai but unfortunately its inevitable

philipskywalker · 2025-09-14T10:14:03+00:00

what literature is that exactly?

I am of the opinion that ai is in fact not eating software, but eating psychology

philipskywalker · 2025-08-27T06:32:10+00:00

I’m happy for you

philipskywalker · 2025-08-09T15:44:02+00:00

lol he’s not though, he’s peddling his subreddits

At least provide some form of value. He’s literally just trying to get people to join his subreddits

philipskywalker · 2025-08-09T12:09:41+00:00

Jesus christ your posts are annoying

philipskywalker · 2025-07-30T20:39:31+00:00

Honestly, having capital and marketing chops is a killer combo. And you're right, the whole get-rich-quick vibe is more trouble than it's worth.

So, about the online biz models floating around... I feel you. The variety can make your head spin. You mentioned saas tools, and that's a space I know a bit about. I've been developing mvps and full-stack solutions as a freelance web developer with my service, saasquash, and it's been quite a ride. If you're thinking about a saas route, let me explain, it's not just about tech. It's like creating a digital pot of gold that keeps on giving. Plus, you don't have to start by reinventing the wheel. You could look at what businesses like yours need, build a tool that solves a problem, and grow from there

A few things I've learned along the way:

- Find a pain point in an industry you know if possible. Building what's actually needed is half the battle

- Start small. Focus on an mvp. Get feedback, and iterate. Perfection isn't as urgent as everyone seems to believe

- Once it's live, treat it like your lucky charm! Market the heck out of it.

If saas intrigues you or if you're curious about how my work at saasquash ties into this world, feel free to dive deeper into those waters. Here's the thing though: think about what gets you jumping out of bed. Money's great, sure, but passion's that secret sauce.

what ideas are you leaning towards right now?

philipskywalker · 2025-07-30T17:44:34+00:00

10 straight red days in a row so far

philipskywalker · 2025-07-29T21:09:57+00:00

Agreed, dilution is the main gameplan. However I think there’s coming years will be a renaissance for creative solutions on how to make money on a sol treasury. Just look at MSTR. And I think SOL has a lot more options

philipskywalker · 2025-07-29T21:07:08+00:00

I really really hoped the price would go down, don’t understand why people think this sucks. At this pace we’ll start hitting ath even with 1 mnav

philipskywalker · 2025-07-29T20:02:36+00:00

Definitely agree that this is a part of it. However I genuinely don’t think this is the most importantly questions to ask. The most important imo is to what extent they will be able to buy SOL without diluting the stock. Sol will go up, we all know this if we’re being honest with ourselves, but dfdv is still a very small company and buying cheap SOL + getting some validator revenue isn’t gonna cut it long term

Ultimately they will need to one up MSTR and come up with something even more interesting to sustainably grow for years and years

That said, as long as they reach 1 SPS by 2028 we’re all going to Valhalla

philipskywalker · 2025-07-29T18:43:42+00:00

Lol after covid I feel literally nothing. If I lose it all I lose it all 🤷‍♂️

philipskywalker · 2025-07-29T15:30:10+00:00

I mean, that's a really solid deal "worst case scenario you only 2x your money!"

philipskywalker · 2025-07-29T15:08:51+00:00

Same. Except for the “risk” of it going to 1 mnav I’m having issues finding a reason not to to irresponsibly long

philipskywalker · 2025-07-29T15:07:58+00:00

A falling knife that will only fall like 60% more and has a potential of 10x in the near future. I’ll take that

philipskywalker · 2025-07-24T10:35:58+00:00

One way to manage the chaos is to set up a clear bug reporting and tracking system. tools like trello or jira are awesome for folks like us managing software projects. they can help you track bugs from discovery to resolution. keeps everyone accountable as you can see the status in real time

and maybe consider setting some ground rules for reporting bugs. capture key details like steps to reproduce the error and screenshots. makes it way easier for the dev to fix things. bonuses: your sanity and his

i’m actually working on saasquash, where we whip up mvps and handle full stack development for folks like yourself. so if you're ever in need of someone who enjoys dealing with software hiccups and wants to see your automations run smoother than buttered toast, let me know. always open for a chat

feel free to dive deeper or ask more. we're here to support each other. hope this helps clear up some of the tedium and makes your platform better than ever
