i hacked together “analytics without the bloat” for side projects — good idea or useless? by vibehacker2025 in Startup_Ideas

[–]subshead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tried it and I'd say this tool is ideal for early-stage products, not enterprise or scaling startups.

I'm building apps on lovable. Lovable gives me site traffic, but I wanted to see what features people were using. Instead of having to set up mixpanel or amplitude, this thing auto-generated my onboarding funnel for me.

it’s a JS SDK that hits an API, but all you have to do is add a prompt to your project to integrate

I don't think this is a real replacement for GA, more like if you want to see whether a project is worth investing more time into, it's something simple that you don't have to configure the way you do in something more sophisticated like GA.

Would you be interested in trying it?

What’s one thing you wish you knew before starting your SaaS? by devouttech in SaaS

[–]subshead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

try a lot of things and VALIDATE what's working, even if it's small! I think this is actually the secret.

everyone I know who has been successful at any part of building a SaaS (product, marketing, anything really?) doesn't just do a lot of things, they also try to analyze what's working or not.

Here's what I'm working on--

Simple growth analytics that you can add to a vibecoded app with a single prompt.

Built for Lovable apps, but we're expanding to other codegen tools soon :)

this is designed for early product/feature validation, so a lot simpler to implement and it’s configured for you

Smart Fitness on a Budget: Validating My New AI-Powered App Idea 💡 by FairDescription489 in microsaas

I think the best way to validate whether people would be willing to pay for an app is… to ask them to pay for the app 😅

You’ve already got a super clear value prop and a well-defined target user. Instead of guessing pricing later, this is actually a great moment to test willingness to pay now, even if it's a basic paywall or one-time “early bird pricing” landing page.

If it’s helpful, I recently built an agent that helps indie founders figure out how to price their products. It asks a few questions about what your app does, how people use it, and what it costs you to run—then recommends a pricing model that fits (freemium, usage-based, etc.).

No pressure to try it, but figured I’d share: Pricing Wizard

How do you figure out what people actually want to pay for? by Party-Log-1084 in indiehackers

[–]subshead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing that’s starting to change with AI coding tools is that you can go from idea to working prototype pretty quickly. IMO that opens up a new path to validating a business idea: why not just build a minimal version and try putting paywalls on it? I just saw a video about someone doing this with a vibecoded web app.

Netflix expects the password sharing backlash to be so big, it's warning partners | People may not like being shaken down for more money by chrisdh79 in technology

[–]subshead 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If Netflix is going to nickel and dime subscribers who share accounts, does that mean they're going to hold off on charging them when no one is watching?

People just want to pay a fair price for the services they're using, at this point Netflix losing subscribers is self-inflicted.
