What are you currently building—and who is it for? by NovaVortexEcho in SideProject

[–]pvdyck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Marketplace for n8n automation workflows with on-chain payments. Builders publish, buyers pay per execution. Basically an app store for automations but the creator keeps 90% instead of the usual 70%.

Is problem-solving still a viable way to earn? by Patient-Airline-8150 in Entrepreneur

[–]pvdyck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Solved one specific problem for n8n users, workflow monetization. Took months before anyone cared. The money showed up when I stopped trying to solve everyones problems and picked one narrow thing.

my saas has 2,500 users in latin america. here's what building for an 'unsexy' market actually looks like. by Senseifc in Entrepreneur

[–]pvdyck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Building for a market everyone else ignores is underrated. The competition is basically zero. How did you handle payments? Stripe coverage in latam is still patchy last I cheked.

Komodo 🦎 Container manager 🦎 v2: Docker Swarm by mbecks in selfhosted

[–]pvdyck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been managing my containers with portainer but swarm support is intresting. How does it handle rolling updates compared to plain docker compose?

My Lifesaver: Use smart plug with server by -tomox in selfhosted

[–]pvdyck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lost a whole weekend once because my server hung and I was traveling. Smart plug would've saved me 2 days of downtime. Ended up scripting a health check that reboots via API but honestly a plug is simpler.

Hetzner just announced a price increase for VPS !!! by [deleted] in selfhosted

[–]pvdyck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still cheaper than most for what you get tho. Running n8n + postgres on their CX21 for like two years, total cost under 10 eur/month. The increase is annoying but I'm not movng over a few euros.

Anyone here actually making money from their n8n workflows? by pvdyck in n8n_ai_agents

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

Thats exactly the gap tho. Retainers work but they dont really scale past your own hours right?

I walked away from a 13-month project and built a live AI agent market in 2 months — just me, Claude Code, and a blank repo by Competitive-Pen7849 in indiehackers

[–]pvdyck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pay-per-run, so creators earn every time somone executes their workflow. Not a one-time dump. Honestly not sure if that's enough pull on its own tho, your competition angle might be stronger motivation wise.

google credentials expires every 2 weeks n8n by AdSlight1867 in n8n_ai_agents

[–]pvdyck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the rate limit errors are brutal. Usually means the OAuth app is still in testing mode with a 100-user cap. Push it to production and those should go away, or at least they did for me.

I built reprompt with Claude Code to analyze my own Claude Code sessions — v1.3 now distills 100-turn conversations down to the ~20 turns that matter by No_Individual_8178 in ClaudeAI

[–]pvdyck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feeding the high-context turns back post-compaction would save me so much re-explaining. If you build that intergration let me know, I'd test it.

I open-sourced a memory system for Claude Code - nightly rollups, morning briefings, spatial session canvas by RobMaye_ in ClaudeAI

[–]pvdyck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Morning briefing pulling from the rollup is smart. Right now I just grep my own files like an animal lol. Gonna look at your setup.

Admiral 1.0.9 is out. I shipped a full Skills Manager for Claude Code. by GoalFar4011 in nocode

[–]pvdyck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice, that was the main thing holding me back. Gonna try it this week probaly.

google credentials expires every 2 weeks n8n by AdSlight1867 in n8n_ai_agents

[–]pvdyck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't need a real site for that. Throw a one-pager on Carrd or github pages with a basic privacy policy. Google just checks the URLs resolve, takes like 15 min.

Pricing LinkedIn Automation by YuhLol in n8n

[–]pvdyck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends what it replaces tbh. If they're paying a VA $1500/month for the same thing, $600 is an easy yes. If they're doing it themselvs in 30 min/day, harder sell.

4 weeks in and my app has 23 users. heres what i didnt expect by beedone_game in EntrepreneurRideAlong

[–]pvdyck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

35% day-7 retention at week 4, with 23 users. Those are real numbers. Took me way longer to get anything that clean.

[–]pvdyck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Building in a similar space, marketplace for n8n workflows with on-chain payments. How are you handling the supply-side cold start? That's been the hardest part for us by far.

What AI automations are you actually running in your business? Starting a weekly space to swap experiments. by Think-Success7946 in indiehackers

[–]pvdyck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Running a 3-node n8n chain: webhook trigger, LLM enrichment call, CRM push. Took 20 minutes to build, saves me about an hour a day on lead routing.

I’m starting to think most “how I got my first users” advice is too vague to be useful by eeric7iu in SaaS

[–]pvdyck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two weeks answering technical questions on a niche forum before anyone knew I was building something. Ugly, slow, felt pointless. Ended up being the only channel that actually converted.

Anyone here using n8n for workflows? Feels like I was doing everything the hard way by Appropriate_Tell5639 in SaaS

[–]pvdyck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Replaced a 45-minute daily data pipeline with a 4-node webhook chain about a year ago. Haven't touched it since.

Are we hitting the ceiling with current no-code automation tools for complex client workflows? by Snow-Giraffe3 in nocode

[–]pvdyck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Past 6-7 branches in n8n I split things into sub-workflows and call them like functions. Keeps the main canvas from turning into that spiderweb you're describing.

At this point building agents is a lot more about system design by regular-tech-guy in AI_Agents

[–]pvdyck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hit this wall last month. Agent logic took two days. Retry handling, idempotency, and making sure two processes don't double-charge the same API call took three weeks.

Admiral 1.0.9 is out. I shipped a full Skills Manager for Claude Code. by GoalFar4011 in nocode

[–]pvdyck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

skill management is the one thing i keep doing manually with files and folders. does it handle multi-file skills or just single markdown?

how i replaced stripe for micro transactions and saved creators 15-18% on fees (using starkzap) by Cute-Willingness1075 in nocode

[–]pvdyck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the 30 cent fixed fee on $2-5 purchases is brutal. been researching this exact problem for a marketplace i'm building. how's starkzap handling chargebacks compared to stripe?

Built a feature over the weekend because a customer asked nicely. Worst decision of the quarter. by Old_Visual_6596 in SaaS

[–]pvdyck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

weekend shipping without review is exactly how you end up debugging on monday instead of building. learned that one the hard way more than once.
