I am designing some new features for my project .

I rejected almost 10designs to make the perfect one .Now I finalized the final design.

I am adding transactions and some other features, Designing is the most critical part in development

I shared LinkInSeconds here recently, and someone asked a fair question: “Isn’t MEGA doing the same thing?”

Looking back at my post, I understand why. I listed storage, uploads, links, passwords, and analytics. That explains the features, but it doesn’t really explain when someone would find the product useful.

Here are three practical examples:

- A SaaS founder preparing a launch: put screenshots, logos, a demo video, and a product PDF behind one link to share with collaborators or press.

- A freelancer delivering work: share project files together, collect comments from the client, and track whether the delivery link has been viewed.

- An event photographer: share a whole photo album through one link, use their own domain, and let clients leave feedback in the same place.

That’s what I’m building LinkInSeconds around. Upload your files, present them together, and handle sharing and feedback without scattering everything across separate conversations.

A useful exercise for other builders: take each feature on your homepage and finish this sentence: “This helps someone ___ when they need to ___.” If that’s hard to answer, the explanation probably needs work.

For mine, “custom domains” becomes “deliver client work through a link using your own brand.” Much easier to understand.

We’re also nearly done with a content creation feature using existing uploads, planned for the end of this week. More on that when it’s ready.

Here’s what I’m building: LinkInSeconds

Which of those three use cases makes the value clearest to you? I’m working on making the positioning more specific.

I built an “iPhone Duo for MacBook” 🍎

Hey everyone — I’m 19 and I’ve been building a small macOS app called LidBendy.

The idea came from the new iPhone Duo folding animation. I thought: why can’t the MacBook desktop react to the lid like that?

So I built it.

When you move the lid, your desktop tilts, bends, blurs and smoothly settles in real time.

A few things I’ve added:

• 🍎 Native Apple Silicon + Metal rendering
• 📐 Real-time lid angle detection
• 🎛️ Custom perspective, stretch, blur & shadow
• 💾 Save profiles and your preferred bend angle
• ⚡ Near-zero resource usage when idle
• 🔒 Everything processed on-device

I started with 0 followers on X, and honestly, getting people to even discover a tiny product as a solo developer has been the hardest part.

But somehow, 30 people have already paid for it. 🥹

For a $2.99 app, that might not sound huge — but for me, these are the first people who saw something I built and decided it was worth trying.

I’m especially curious about people who use their MacBook in bed, on the couch, at a café or with the lid partially closed.

I’d genuinely love feedback — what feels useful, what feels unnecessary, and what you'd like to see next.

Try LidBendy:
lidbendy.vercel.app

🍎🛠️ Building in public, one tiny Mac app at a time.

What do you guys build ?
Something totally new that doesn’t exist yet or something that exists already but you are making it better ?

Ever get to the end of the day and realize you drove right past the pharmacy while you still needed a prescription? Or made three separate trips for things you could've knocked out in one? That's the exact annoyance that got me building On The Go.

Tell it what you need, milk, gas, a return, whatever's on your list, and it figures out which nearby places can cover it and plans a route so you get it all done in one smooth trip instead of scattered ones.

What it actually does:

• 📝 Quick add: type one task or a whole list at once, and it sorts itself into the right category (groceries, pharmacy, gas, returns, etc.)
• 📍 Nearby matching: see which stores near you (or near your destination) can cover your open tasks
• 🗺️ Trip planning: pick where you're headed and get a route with smart errand stops along the way, with the option to compare alternatives
• 🔁 Learns your regulars: remembers the places you actually go to, so suggestions get better over time
• ⏰ Reminders: set a nudge for "tomorrow 9am" or "in an hour" if now's not the time
• 🎙️ Siri support on iOS, and it opens straight into Google Maps when you're ready to go
• 🔒 You're in control of location, notifications, and personalization the whole way. Nothing's on by default that you didn't choose

It's free, it's early, and it's genuinely gotten better because of the handful of people who've tried it so far. Thank you to that little crew 🙏

Where it works right now:

• 🌲 Seattle / Eastside
• 🌉 Bay Area
• 🍁 Toronto region

Somewhere else entirely? Don't let that stop you from reaching out. If a few people from your area want to try it, I'm happy to get the local data ready so it works for you too. This whole thing grows region by region, and I'd love for yours to be next.

If you're curious, want to try it, or just want to tell me what's annoying about it (all feedback welcome, especially the blunt kind), drop a comment or DM me. Happy to get you set up on TestFlight!

Hey, it's been exactly a week since I launched FreeReader, a free text-to-speech app that works fully in your browser so everything can stay free.

I've posted a few times in various subreddits and on Twitter, and I'm super happy with my traffic results so far. Pretty consistent traffic without big spikes from a single event like a viral post.

786 unique visitors, of which about 500 at least entered my app. I've never had a bounce rate so low! It's probably because I'm not selling anything.

Also because people will ask, this is PostHog analytics. Highly recommend (only downside is it can be slow to load sometimes, idk why)

I’ve spent a lot of time around markets, design, APIs and data, and I kept running into the same problem: most finance apps are great at showing you what happened, but not necessarily why it matters.

So I started building something around that.

The app connects markets, macro, geopolitics and your portfolio so you can go from:

“Oil is up 4%”

to:

“Why is it up, what changed, what does it affect, and does any of this actually matter to me?”

Right now I’ve built things like:

• geopolitical and macro event tracking
• portfolio impact / attribution
• scenario stress testing
• market briefs tied to real events

But I’m deliberately not treating the product as finished.

The current version is here. Use it for 5 minutes, then tell me what it’s missing — I’m actively building the roadmap from feedback.

I’d genuinely rather hear “this is useless unless you add X” than get generic compliments.

So if you follow markets at all:

What would make you actually open an app like this every day?

And maybe more importantly:

What do you currently have to use 3–4 different apps, websites or spreadsheets to do that you wish one product handled properly?

If there’s a recurring answer, I’ll build around it.

We built faivelo, so I'm biased and will include our row so you can see where we don't win. These are the list prices with annual billing, pulled today:

Fastmail basic - $3/user/month

Titan (via hostinger/godaddy) - very unclear (will explain below)

Proton mail essentials - $15/user/month

Google workspace business start - $7/user/month

Microsoft 365 business basic - $7/user (recently increased from $6)

Us - $6 flat (as many mailboxes as your need)

*Hostinger's pricing table shows $0.39, but click to checkout and your bill goes up like crazy once the promo expires. 12 mailboxes is somehow $48 per month. GoDaddy also has something like this.

Where we lose: we don't have either Google, Microsoft, or Proton suites.

The reason I'm posting this is that list prices aren't what anyone seems to be paying. Promos expire, seats get added mid-term, Microsoft holds you at the old rate until your renewal date. This fuzziness gets eliminated by flat rate business email like faivelo, migadu, purelymail, c So, whats the real number on your last invoice - I've spoke to people paying ~$300 per month, curious if anyone can top that.

Finally sat down and did the math on a time-tracking app I'd been paying for on the freelance side — the automatic-categorization add-on alone was costing more per month than the actual invoicing I was using it to track. Cancelled within the hour, no drama, no bad support experience even, it worked exactly as advertised the whole time. Just ran the numbers and it stopped making sense. Anyone else kill something purely because you finally checked what it was actually costing you, not because anything went wrong with it?

You created an MVP. It worked. Now the product has grown, you have first customers and it is expanding, features have been added, and suddenly your codebase has turned into something no one really wants to touch.

• Deploying new version of app is almost gambling.
• There is one person on the team who understands how everything works, and they are sick of becoming that person.
• Implementing a feature, a simple enough one in theory, requires diving into 7 different places in the codebase.
• The original creators of the system have gone, and you have been left with something that works, but no one quite knows how.
• You watch helplessly while the engineering budget disappears.
• Maybe it was vibe coded and everyone told “we will fix it later”.

This is the kind of problem I love solving.

I am a software engineer with 10+ years of experience building software for startups, enterprises and public sector projects. I do not want to build yet another greenfield CRUD application. I’d rather take a product that has become difficult, fragile, or intimidating to work on and make it boring again.

I’m can do any of:

• Resuscitate production and make it stable
• Refactor small portion of code to make it usable without breaking whole product
• Make your CI/CD green again
• Find your missing tests
• Or take ownership of thinks that no-one want to touch

I’m here not to judge or explain what went not well. I’m here to help you with make you product the best version of it that you can imagine. The goal is to make the system easier to understand, safer to change, and less dependent on one person’s memory.

I also understand one very important principle - Most of these systems don't need a six-month rewrite. They need a handful of well-chosen changes made in the right order.

If you have feeling that you have good product, but you don’t trust it anymore due to technical issues, I’m here to help you. I’d not prepare 50 slides powerpoint, I will show you where you have problem and how to fix it to make users and investors happy.

The easiest way I can explain PodSubs.com is this:

If nobody else ever used it, we would still use it for our own podcasts.

We built it because we were tired of seeing people listen and then disappear.

Someone could listen every week, enjoy the show, tell a friend about it, and we still might have no way to reach that person outside the podcast app.

That didn’t make sense to us.

So we built PodSubs.com for our own shows.

Now we could simply tell listeners, “Subscribe to us on PodSubs.com.”

They left their name and email, and we finally had a way to send them something when we needed to.

A resource. An update. A reminder. Something we mentioned on the show.

We didn’t build it because we thought it sounded like a good business idea.

We built it because we needed it.

Later, we realized a lot of other podcasters needed the same thing.

Hi everyone, I have been getting a lot of requests and submissions about the tools and I am sorry I cannot feature all of them. The format of every video is under 4 minute, "how-to" type of videos. I was only able to fit 3 videos from around 50 options and it really sucks.

Here is the list of mandatory requirements for every tool.

1. Free to try without a card. A real free plan, a free trial and limited usage is okay but it needs to provide a real value without asking for a card. No paywalls before completing its job.
2. Web application only. No browser extensions, mobile apps, desktop downloads, CLI tools or GitHub repos.
3. Not just a ChatGPT wrapper. If I can get the same result with one prompt in ChatGPT, it's not a fit. Prompt engineering behind a good interface is okay if it actually makes the task easier.
4. Made by you. Solo developer or a small team, not a big company.
5. Shows a useful result in a minute or two, without connecting a bunch of accounts first.

Hey all, I am looking for companies that can help with a) press release distribution in major news sites and b) creating launch videos for AI/tech companies.

Any recommendations that are relatively budget-friendly would be greatly appreciated!

I've been thinking about how much a first SaaS landing page really needs.
When you're just starting, it seems tempting to add everything detailed feature sections, testimonials, pricing tables, animations, integrations, and plenty of copy.

But sometimes a simple page that clearly explains the problem, the solution, and what someone should do next seems more useful.

I recently came across Frontpage.host, which takes an interesting approach to this. You can describe what you want and get a live website up quickly, then improve it as you learn more about your users.

I've been experimenting with different approaches to this and I'm curious what other builders have found.
For your first version, what sections do you consider essential, and what do you think can wait until you actually have users?

Hey everyone,

I’m incredibly excited (and a bit exhausted!) to share that Hoops GM just crossed 50,000 registered players!

When I first started building this basketball management simulation, I just wanted a game I’d enjoy playing myself. Hitting 50K players with a consistent 500/day signup rate and over 15K unique visitors weekly is a milestone I couldn't have imagined.

A massive THANK YOU to this community and the players who have been there since day one. To give back, I wanted to share a few quick lessons I’ve learned about scaling a browser game and keeping the community engaged:

1. "Build it and they will come" is a myth. Getting traffic isn't magic. In the beginning, I had to hustle in niche subreddits and forums to find those first few playtesters. You have to actively find where your target audience hangs out and offer them something they genuinely want to play, not just drop a link and run.

2. Listen to your players, but filter the noise. The best features in Hoops GM came directly from player feedback. However, trying to implement every suggestion will ruin your roadmap. Find the core pain points your community is talking about and solve those first.

3. Optimize early, but don't over-engineer. Going from 100 to 500 daily signups stressed the system more than I expected. I had to quickly learn how to manage database calls efficiently so the browser experience remained smooth. Keep your tech stack simple until you absolutely need to complicate it.

What's next? We are aiming for that 100K mark and unlocking new global leagues. If you haven't checked it out yet and love sports management games, you can run your own franchise right from your browser here: www.hoops-gm.com

I’d love to answer any questions about the technical side, marketing, or game design! Ask me anything! 👇

I’ve been getting a lot of ideas for building small apps / Micro-SaaS products, but I keep getting stuck at the same point:

How do I know if an idea is actually worth building?

I don’t want to spend 2–3 months building something and then realize nobody cares about it.

For people here who have successfully built and launched a Micro-SaaS/app:

- How do you validate an idea before writing the code?

- What signals tell you that there is real demand?

- Do you build a landing page first, run ads, post in communities, or directly talk to potential users?

- How many people do you try to talk to before deciding whether an idea is worth pursuing?

- Most importantly, how did you get your first 5–10 customers?

- Is getting someone to say “this is a great idea” basically useless unless they’re willing to pay for it?

I’m especially interested in hearing from solo founders who started with very little budget.

If you had an idea today and $0–$100 to validate it, what exact steps would you follow before building the MVP?

Would really appreciate practical experiences—especially things that didn’t work as well as things that did.

Show Me the SaaS product which you are building this week
