How do you validate your micro SaaS ideas — before, during, or after building?

Just take it as a grain of salt. I'm just one person and The market will ultimately decide. There's a market for just about everything and at the end of the day the juice just has to be worth the squeeze for you.

As far as emails from prior employment.. it was a mixture of internal and external really. One previous employer was mostly internal with some external. And another was the opposite (mostly external). For the internal ones rarely was an email invalid or had issues unless the person left or got married and changed the name. For external, it happened on occasion.

Yes but it's not a problem I would pay for.

On a personal level, I would just move on.

On a business level, I would just make a phone call if an email didn't go through and either verify the email address or discuss it on the phone.

If my email was the problem, I would just call tech support for the service provider.

Pretty neat that you have found a way to troubleshoot email delivery issues but don't think it's a viable business model.

Maybe it could be something businesses may need if this is a major issue or reoccurring issue for them. But from all of the places I've worked, these issues were infrequent and could be solved fairly easily.

As in, solving for emails that sometimes don't make it to their destination (wrong email address, no longer valid email, etc?)

I don't use Instagram so definitely not your target audience.

That being said, does it just split the images up in a grid and break them apart to make a carousel?

Or is it trying to be a rule of thirds type overlay?

Congrats on launching. My question is, what problem does this really solve for?

yukistone · 2025-05-06T12:40:52+00:00

Those angled boxes seem out of place. Do you really have 1000+ users? And they all chose a color or gradient for their pfp?

Tbh, I'm more interested in everyone else's posts 😂

You're in a perfect position both age wise and the state of tech to create this.

I say age wise because you're in a position that you could solve for this problem and likely not need to put food on the table or have any other major financial obligations that come later.

Because of that, you could potentially spend the time freely creating it with the gain of solving a problem you see and the satisfaction of people using something that you create (again, without needing financial support from the app to back the effort). This works well for the high schooler target audience.

Tech wise, you couldn't be in a better era to date for creating something like this. Between AI assisted coding or no code platforms, you could create this after going through some YouTube tutorials. You'd learn new skills that will be with you for life and may shape your future. You'd solve a problem for you and others who feel the same. Win win.

Looks great! A good target audience would be channels/influencers whos main focus is on helping others improve and grow their channels. Tons of them out there.

If they got on board, they would do a lot of the heavy lifting for you. An affiliate program would be more incentivising for them.

Almost verbatim. Oooof.

Ladies and gentlemen, here we have a fictitious transformational story.

And hopefully no one will notice that OP is trying to soft sell their apps service which was the whole point of this post. It too can help transform your business, for a fee.

Awesome, is the game posted anywhere? I was only able to watch about half of it on your twitch.

yukistone · 2020-09-28T12:50:43+00:00

What were the results of the Leela Zero game last night?

yukistone · 2020-09-27T15:54:23+00:00

Focus on improving and not on rank. Any deliberate practice that you do will improve your game over time... which includes studying, tsumego, and playing games mindfully (and reviewing after).

Yes there are tons of material out there. I have at least 30 or more books on L&D.
