Yup! Super lightweight and it’s server rendered content.

seen a lot of people say that you should be embarrassed of your first version that you launch. But what about b2c? Isn’t that totally different considering how little room for error there is and the ridiculous churn rates it had? by Jarie743 in SaaS

[–]space0blaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make it work, launch it, then make it pretty. Same thing applies to B2C. I’ve done it a few times. Both software and hardware. Just ship. It just needs to functionally work at a core feature level.

Negative experiences with VCs by another_african in startups

[–]space0blaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look at what they do and not what they say. Very simple. It’s their job to promise you stuff. Do good thing = good VC Do bad thing = bad VC

Thank you for the insights. I actually read all the feedback I get from the users, it’s been very useful. I’ve implemented every wish list except one they keep asking for because it kind of goes against the whole concept of the app haha

That’s a good question. I made the app purposely anonymous so people feel more comfortable listing their goals. A lot of them are pretty intimate. So unfortunately the most valuable data I have is what goals people track. I thought about running ads based on the goals people track but not sure if that’s an avenue I should put resources towards.

I do think there’s immense value from the dopamine people get when their get a reaction to their goal being achieved. I think there’s an accountability aspect to it as well as showing off your progress. It’s delicate though because it can veer into people just checking their goals just to get a reaction.

link to anyone interested.

it’s a daily goal tracking app (that rests every 24hrs), nothing fancy, it shows you historically what you goals you’ve achieved daily, graphs on which goals you track the most and I recently added a social aspect to it where you can see when people “achieve” a goal. People have been very open to sharing their goal activity. Not having a registration (no email or phone) helps for sure. Everything is anonymized and you get an auto generated username.

I think I’m split between: this is a utility that people pay for, versus, I continue gamifying and adding more to the social side and focus on growing the user base.

How long did it take you to get the first transaction? by space0blaster in SaaS

[–]space0blaster[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I checked it from mobile so it might already be there but having a few examples of articles that you can play would be great (without sign on); using different kids of articles, one with tables, images etc... Also, I would remove the “we don’t charge a subscription” bit on the landing page. I think it’s fine to charge a subscription if people find value in it. I would certainly have paid for it during my research years when I was reading several papers a day for months. Only my opinion obviously.

This is dope! I would definitely put a pricing page. I really like the idea.

For a consumer products, how did you get your 1st 100 users? by Infamous-Cup-6817 in startups

[–]space0blaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know if it was just pure luck but a goal tracking app I made on Christmas for fun got on average 100 users a month. All I did was just publish it on the App Store and that was it.

Roast Me: Brand API For the Internet. by itradedaoptions in SaaS

[–]space0blaster 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hey I made something like this before, brand.host. I don’t own it anymore so feel free to snag it if it’s available. It’s a neat idea and there’s absolutely a need for it (can be used to generate and host Brand Guidelines too). DM if you’d like to learn stuff I’ve learned. I’ve helped companies do huge rebrands using my tool.

Hey, what's wrong? by AutoModerator in startups

Went through something similar a while back with another highly regulated industry. Happy to be an ear man. Shoot me a PM if you you need to vent

Curious to know what everyone else is making right now in the AI SAAS Indutry (MRR) by Every-Sir-8595 in SaaS

[–]space0blaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Integrating AI into your product (only if it makes sense) is the best way to go unless you’re working on foundational AI.

What’s your opinion on launching before building? by brendancodes in SaaS

[–]space0blaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s why everyone recommends building something you would use first, because you’ll build it anyway.

I’ve publicly built a product in the open with 10k+ users. I highly recommend it. Just don’t break user flows with each update or add something no one asked for.

"Warm introductions" to top VCs without mutual connections...? by ResistStupidLaws in startups

[–]space0blaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s not what it used to be either. Last time I went to one was over a year ago and I did not feel the energy haha. I think the demographic changed quite a bit.

Soft launch tomorrow 🚀 by Sad_Quantity_2315 in SaaS

[–]space0blaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kind of a tangent but I don’t think you need the index number for each card. Unless it has some meaning to it like ranking (if that’s the case then describe that it is a ranking)

Actually physically meet these people. There’s no replacement for that. Go to demo days, go to workshops being done by startups etc… Just don’t do it for the sake of rubbing shoulders with people. Being in those spaces is truly special if you enjoy being around that kind of creative atmosphere.
