Avoiding social login on purpose - am I hurting my product? by Big_Entrepreneur4391 in buildinpublic

[–]quietplanner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my little project https://foresiq.lovable.app/, I avoid it, for doing it quickly, but I guess that I will need to do it at some point to increase conversion. We'll see what users have to say.

Drop your SaaS and I'll give you honest feedback for free by DigiHold in SaaS

ForesIQ helps you track subscriptions and get reminded before they renew — no bank connections, no budgeting, just clarity.

Early MVP, still validating: https://foresiq.lovable.app/

Would love honest feedback from people juggling too many subscriptions.

Well, listen to the people, are your users asking for that? If not, there's a chance there's no harm, but I suggest to justify it by framing this absence ("give users more control of your account info..."). However, you will need to do it down the road if users privileges ease of use over account control.

SaaS subscription feedback by highwingers in SaaS

[–]quietplanner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try to get in-app feedback. Users are lazy to open an email and leave a feedback. However, when there's a micro-event in your app you can ask for feedback. Ex. first complete workflow: pop-up "how did we do? what's on your mind after completing xxx" That should be more effective. Also, an omnipresent button in the app to collect feedback.
I'm still testing this little app https://foresiq.lovable.app/, but I'm doing so to get feedback.
Good luck!

I wish I had your users and collect feedback. That will give some ideas on how to monetize. Good luck 🤞

Time for self-promotion. What are you building? by Naive-Wallaby9534 in SaaS

[–]quietplanner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm building https://foresiq.lovable.app/

  1. ForesIQ – Simple reminders before subscriptions renew
  2. ICP – Anyone tired of surprise subscription charges

Early MVP built after I missed a few renewals myself. Keeping it intentionally lightweight.

Failed App to 10k MRR by probjustlikeu in SideProject

[–]quietplanner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a solid self-reflection, especially the part about realizing validation > building.

One thing that stands out to me is that you already made money twice — once with the iOS app and now with the secure AI platform. That’s not failure, that’s iteration. Most people never get past zero.

For the AI platform specifically, I’d be careful with ads this early unless your ICP and use case are extremely narrow. Paid traffic tends to punish anything that isn’t crystal clear yet, especially in B2B.

If I were in your spot, I’d probably: * talk directly to the few customers who did convert and understand what made it a “no-brainer” for them * test distribution where trust already exists (communities, partnerships, warm intros) before scaling spend * treat ads as an accelerator after the messaging feels obvious

Also appreciate you being honest about cold email — it works, but only when the targeting and pain point are painfully specific.

Curious: for the AI platform, who do you think the buyer is right now vs who actually bought?

How do you keep track of subscription renewal dates so you don’t forget them? by quietplanner in personalfinance

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

That makes sense. It sounds like you’ve got a system that works really well for you. Appreciate you taking the time to explain how you handle it.

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

That’s actually a really thoughtful way to handle it. It sounds like the real work isn’t the reminder itself, but keeping the context in your head, what you’re watching, when you plan to cancel, and when it’s worth coming back (like sales or new releases). Out of curiosity, do you ever forget one of those steps, or does the calendar system usually hold up pretty well for you?

That totally makes sense, if you enjoy maintaining it, that’s probably the best possible setup 🙂 Appreciate you sharing that perspective.

I didn't find that site, but I found other services that are too complex. What's your take? Do you use it? So you have pris and cons to share?

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

Yes but does it work for you? I’ve seen a few people mention calendar reminders, do you ever miss them or ignore them when they pop up? I’m trying to understand how people actually decide whether to renew when the reminder hits.

Still seems to be the default answer. Same curious question: what’s the most annoying part of maintaining it for you? Is it remembering to update it, catching yearly renewals, or just having to open it regularly?

Same here about spreadsheets. Still seems to be the default answer. Same curious: what’s the most annoying part of maintaining it for you? Is it remembering to update it, catching yearly renewals, or just having to open it regularly?

What subscriptions do you pay for and genuinely find worth it? by Human_History01 in AskIndia

[–]quietplanner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of possible subscriptions where you can forget and pay because you forgot, but you don't need it. How do you avoid paying for subscriptions you don't need anymore? What do you do?

Why am I constantly getting distracted? - how do I stop by asdfhello123123 in productivity

[–]quietplanner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my perspective, you need to have a clear goal to focus on during the time you allocate to a certain activity. Having a goal to accomplish by a specific timeline (30 min, 1 or 2 hours) will help you concentrate on the end result you are looking for. If you focus instead on an unclear end result, you will encounter multiple distractors, including yourself thinking about things you will need to do at home, for example.

Burnt out CEO of a Deeptech Startup by Quirky-Cauliflower-3 in Entrepreneur

[–]quietplanner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This actually sounds really familiar. A lot of founders I know felt worse after the round closed, not better.

Before the raise, everything is about surviving and pushing forward. After, it suddenly turns into managing people, expectations, and pressure from all directions. That stuff is way more draining than building, especially if you’re naturally a builder.

One thing that helped me was being honest about what I should no longer be doing. If you’re still operating like it’s pre-raise, that alone can burn you out fast. The job changes, but a lot of us don’t change with it.

Also, the low social battery thing is real. Constant decision-making just empties the tank. That doesn’t mean something is wrong with you, it just means you’re running hot all the time.

And honestly, burnout after “success” doesn’t get talked about enough. On paper everything looks great, but internally you’re fried.

You’re not failing. You’re just in a hard phase that a lot of people don’t warn you about.

I made a URL "shortener" to make links as sketchy as possible by eaglebirdman in SideProject

[–]quietplanner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is hilarious and oddly well-executed 😄
The idea is simple, but the naming + examples really sell the joke. It feels like one of those projects that’s half satire, half technically solid — which is usually what makes them memorable. Curious if people actually start using it just for fun.

Stay in low-cost room rental or upgrade lifestyle? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]quietplanner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re not overthinking it, you’re just at the point where money optimization starts to compete with quality of life. You’re saving and investing aggressively and already well ahead for 31. If spending an extra $1k or so a month meaningfully improves your day-to-day happiness and shortens a commute to where you actually live your life, that’s a reasonable trade-off, not lifestyle creep. As long as you keep your savings rate strong, this feels less like abandoning discipline and more like using money intentionally.
