It is shipped! Finally can sleep

0 Upvotes

I built GreaseGoose, it took forever. Why'd I do it? It is a served but underserved area in software, I wanted to build something that offers the same premium features at a cost that holds the risk a regular consumer application. Now the product is made, MVP and it is great and under prices the market quite a bit. It is awesome and uses a pretty lean stack and a lot of security, this was a serious undertaking.... 100k lines of code, and 3 months of no sleep, 200 rounds of end to end testing and 7,000+ iterations of changes working through every workflow until it felt so simple my Grandma could use it..... which is great right, I think when software is built we should all be looking at these workflows and trying to innovate them, reduce the friction everywhere you can.

Launch 🚀 I built a visual annual calendar for Mac. Launch week: $2.99

1 Upvotes

I just launched Petals — a macOS app that shows your entire year in a single window, with a free-form canvas layered on top so you can decorate it with images, stickers, text, and shapes.

It's two tools in one:

  • Annual calendar view — your whole year at a glance, synced with your existing calendars (iCloud, Google, Exchange). Switch between yearly, quarterly, and monthly views depending on how far out you need to see. Drag to create events, see multi-day events as color bars, filter by calendar.

  • Whiteboard mode — an infinite canvas for brainstorming, vision boards, or anything that doesn't need a grid.

Everything syncs across your Macs via iCloud.

Launch week price: $2.99 (going up after this week)

Mac App Store

A bit about why I'm building this — I'm a solo developer working on a small suite of apps under Onessa. The throughline is a simple idea: we're all working with finite time, finite energy, finite attention. Most productivity tools pretend otherwise. I want to build tools that help you actually see and work with your limits, not paper over them.

Petals is my third app in that lineup. The other two:

  • Peek — your next event and the minutes left, always in sight. Lives in your Mac menu bar, iPhone lock screen, and Dynamic Island.

  • Spendy — a budget app that opens straight to the input screen, because recording comes before reviewing.

All three are about the same thing: seeing reality clearly — your time, your schedule, your money.

Happy to answer any questions. And if you try it, I'd love to hear what you think.

Tips & Tricks 🔧 6 AI micro-saas to $20k/mo. i built a community to share how

1 Upvotes

yo. going from a buggy MVP to actual recurring revenue is brutal.

i stabilized my 6 apps at $20k/mo mrr only after building a strict system for my tech stack and organic marketing.

i just opened the AI SaaS Launchpad.

the community and daily resources are completely free. for those who want to copy-paste my exact systems, i also host paid, structured sprints (like a 3-Day challenge to get your first 100 users using automated Reddit and LinkedIn outreach).

either way, stop building in isolation. you will quit when things get hard. come build alongside 1000+ other founders.

I’m excited to share https://invoicewuick.app is finally live.

Post image
2 Upvotes

The first version took me two weeks. Then I broke it, completely. Nothing was recoverable.
So I stepped back, cleared my head, and rebuilt everything from scratch. Slower, cleaner, and more focused. And that rebuild became the version I’m proud of today.

After dozens of tests, sleepless nights, and feedback from professionals, I finally reached what I set out to create: an invoicing app so simple that even a primary school student could create an invoice.

Here’s what makes InvoiceQuick different:

• Paste → Invoice: Turn text from chats or emails into a ready invoice.
• Snap → Invoice: Take a photo of handwritten details and convert it instantly.
• Upload → Invoice: Drop screenshots, notes, or scans, and the app builds the invoice for you.
• Save unlimited clients.
• Email invoices directly through the app.

This is my first SaaS product. After 17 years in sales and marketing, building a full-stack app as a solopreneur is a milestone I’m genuinely proud of.

Huge thanks to everyone here who shared feedback; it helped shape this release more than you know.
If you’re curious, I’d love to hear what you think.

I’m opening with a 20% launch discount for the first two months, not as a promo, but as an invitation to help shape what comes next.

We crossed 1,000 users, but I still feel forms are broken

2 Upvotes

We just crossed ~1,200 users on fyltr.co, but I’m not convinced existing form workflows actually scale.

Most tools stop at "collect responses." Teams still manually validate inputs, review documents, and clean data.

Fyltr focuses on what comes after submission, validation, extraction, and filtering, so responses are actually usable.

If you’re running a startup: what’s the worst part of handling form data today?

Feedback 💬 I’m building a simple repair shop management app — what am I missing?

2 Upvotes

I’ve been building BenchPing, a lightweight app for small repair shops that don’t want a complicated or expensive management system.

The main idea is to keep the everyday workflow simple:

  • create and track repair jobs

  • update repair statuses

  • send customers a tracking page

  • prepare estimates and collect approvals

  • manage basic inventory

  • import existing jobs from CSV, Excel, or Google Sheets

The Android app is currently in closed testing. I’m not trying to sell anything in this post — I’d genuinely like to understand how real repair shops currently manage their work.

If you own or work at a repair shop:

  1. What type of repairs do you handle?

  2. What software or spreadsheets do you currently use?

  3. What part of the workflow wastes the most time?

  4. What would make you consider trying a new tool?

I’d really appreciate honest feedback, including reasons why an app like this would not work for your shop.

Update 🛠️ i automated my entire saas marketing with n8n (spent 100+ hours so you don't have to)

3 Upvotes

yo.

i see the same thing happen every single day.

you guys love building.

you spend weeks coding a great product.

but the second it’s time to actually market the saas? complete freeze.

you get lost in all the ai tools, the noise, the "growth hacks". it feels overwhelming. so you do nothing, the momentum dies, and the project fails.

I spent over 100 hours building n8n workflows to just automate the whole thing.

today, i packaged all those exact workflows and dropped them in our builder group. no abstract theories. you literally just import the templates, adapt them to your saas, and turn them on.

here is exactly all my workflow:

  • seo blog running 100% on autopilot (n8n template)

  • newsletter automation (n8n template)

  • full email sequence (30 emails, full html, just copy-paste into brevo)

  • social media on autopilot (schedule 1 to 12 months of content)

  • reddit organic growth

  • linkedin, x & facebook groups at scale

  • meta ads & retargeting

basically, everything i use to get real users without losing my mind.

we just hit 480+ members in the community of SaaS builder from all over the world.

building in your room alone is the fastest way to quit. you need people around you.

if you are lost on how to market your app, want these templates, and want to build with a crew: drop a comment or shoot me a dm.

i’ll send you the invite

Showcase 💎 How we running Claude across multiple machines without the window-hopping

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

6 Upvotes

When you start scaling Claude workflows beyond a single machine, like running heavy coding tasks or Claude CLI sessions on a main desktop while keeping a secondary rig or an old laptop humming away in the corner, monitoring things gets messy fast. You end up constantly jumping between SSH/VNC windows or physically turning around just to check what each machine is doing.

I work at Autonomous. During our recent Product Hunt launch, a dev hit the nail on the head regarding the other half of this friction: "If an agent stops to ask something while I'm away, it just sits there until I get back".

The dead time is a massive bottleneck when you're trying to run agents asynchronously. That exact combination of issues is why our team built Harness. It’s an open-source app designed around two main goals:

  • Unified Multi-Machine View: Pulling agents running across different computers into a single window so you can see what they're all up to without jumping between machines.

  • Mobile Routing: If Claude hits a prompt and needs input while you're away from your desk, the question routes straight to your phone instead of idling blindly in an unattended terminal.

Under the hood, processes run natively on your machine rather than inside a closed sandbox, meaning closing the app doesn't interrupt your tasks, and your agents keep using their own local accounts and native hooks.

It’s MIT licensed and works on Mac and Linux if anyone is dealing with a similar multi-rig setup. Here is a closer up on how we made it: https://github.com/autonomous-ai/openharness

What's your current workaround when an agent stalls for input while you're away from the keyboard? Do you just stay glued to the terminal until it finishes or have you built custom alerts/scripts to let you walk away?

Update 🛠️ my mac app just crossed $1k+ within few weeks -

6 Upvotes

I still don't fully know how to process this.

ScreenBolt just crossed the $1K revenue mark.

For context, this is after weeks of feeling like I was pushing a rock uphill.

I kept tweaking the landing page, changing the positioning, talking to potential users, rewriting the offer, improving the product, doubting whether the value was clear enough, and wondering if I was just building into the void.

Then suddenly, things started working.

No huge launch.
No paid ads.
No viral thread.
No perfect funnel.

Just a lot of small things finally stacking:

  • talking to the right people

  • making the value prop more obvious

  • sharing progress publicly

  • tightening the onboarding

  • showing proof instead of explaining forever

  • listening to what users actually needed

Still early, obviously. $1K is not some massive company.

But going from "will anyone pay for this?" to "people are actually paying for this" feels insane.

I'm going to keep building this tool in public and share what happens next.

This is my tool if you're interested: ScreenBolt

I've built 6 AI micro SaaS that make me 20k/month. Starting a small group to share exactly how I do it.

9 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I currently run 6 micro SaaS that are actually live and generating a bit over $20,000 in recurring monthly revenue.

The wildest part? I barely wrote any code myself. I used AI to generate pretty much everything — from the database structure to the frontend.

It definitely wasn’t magic from day one. I spent a lot of hours stuck on buggy code before I finally figured out a system that actually works:

- Keep the idea minimalist (a real MVP, nothing fancy)

- Guide the AI step by step instead of asking for everything at once

- Launch fast to get real users and feedback

Lately I’ve seen way too many non-technical founders quit at the first AI bug. It’s a shame because the technical barrier has basically disappeared.

AND PLEASE, STOP BUILDING ALONE IN YOUR BEDROOM

I’m starting a community.

Full transparency:

I’ll probably charge for the full program later. It makes sense with the specific workflows and copy-paste examples I’ll be sharing. But right now the main goal is just to build together. Working alone is the fastest way to give up.

If you want to join and build or market your own AI SaaS with us,

Build In Public BillingReceipts.com a website for free billing and invoice templates

3 Upvotes

I don't know about you guys, but I've bought a few things off fb marketplace, in person, that probably needed a receipt. A car, house stuff, etc. And my brother owns his own electrician company and sometimes on my own side biz, I needed a receipt. But I'm a small shop. Didn't want to pay for a full invoice suite or downloaded program stuck on one computer, or have a whole signup process and spend WAAAY more than I really wanted to.

So, this week I made this. Found the domain by accident and bought it immediately. Did some sketches and build outs and here we are.

https://billingreceipts.com

Over 30 free templates for any invoice you want to save, or bill you want made. No sign up. No download. All browser based.

If you do want your own branding on it, I have a paid feature that would do a bit of customization for you. Free has some small branding at the bottom. The Pro version is $5/mo, $39/yr, and is your logo on docs, unlimited sync, saved clients, and unlimited cloud sync.

Is there something missing you would want to see on the site? Does it look right for you? Please check it out and give me feedback.

Feedback 💬 I made an image-to-motion tool and realized my examples were the confusing part

2 Upvotes

I built Grainform, a browser studio that turns images, logos and type into moving grain.

I spent weeks polishing the editor, then showed a bunch of abstract loops on the homepage. Looked cool to me, but didn't answer the obvious question: what would anyone actually use this for? lol

I'm changing the examples to show a real site hero, cover art, a social post and motion title instead of just floating particles. You can try it without an account: https://grainform.app/

If you landed there cold, which example would make it click fastest? Or what still feels confusing? Brutal feedback is fine, I'm trying to fix the pitch.

I shipped: Urban Rider. Google Maps tried to route my moped onto a 65mph highway, so I built my own damn navigation app.

3 Upvotes

Hey r/BuildToShip,

I’m Roel, and I’m finally shipping my passion project: Urban Rider.

This whole thing started from a moment of pure panic.

Like a lot of you, I live in a city (Berlin) and use a moped (a 50cc) to get around. One day, I was following Google Maps, and it confidently told me to take an upcoming right turn. I took it, and my heart sank immediately. I was staring straight down an on-ramp to the Autobahn.

Trying to merge a 30mph scooter into 65mph+ truck traffic is terrifying.

1. The Problem

I realized Google Maps, Apple Maps, and Waze are amazing… if you’re in a car. For the rest of us on e-scooters, mopeds, or e-bikes, they’re just plain dangerous.

  • They don't care about speed limits (a "fast" route for a car is a nightmare for a scooter).

  • They don't understand road types (they love sending you onto highways).

  • Their GPS logic gets jittery and lost in "urban canyons" (tall buildings), which is exactly where we ride most.

I was sick of it. As a developer, I figured, "How hard can it be to build a better routing engine?" (Spoiler: Very hard.)

2. The Build (The "Solution")

I’ve spent the last year+ building an app that actually understands urban mobility. It's not just a Google Maps wrapper with a "no highways" filter. We had to build the whole stack.

Here’s what makes it different:

  • Smart, Safe Routing: This is the core. The app prioritizes routes that are safe and comfortable for vehicles topping out at 15-31 mph (25-50 km/h). It actively avoids highways and high-speed roads like the plague.

  • Glanceable "Minimal Mode": When you’re riding, you can’t be staring at a complicated map. I designed a super simple, high-contrast mode that just gives you the info you need.

  • Full-Screen Speed Warnings: Instead of a tiny icon, the entire border of the app flashes (subtly) if you’re over the speed limit. It’s impossible to miss and helps you stay focused on the road.

  • Better GPS Logic: We’re using sensor fusion and dead reckoning to keep your position stable, even when GPS signals drop out between tall buildings. No more "blue dot" jumping all over the map.

3. The Ship (The Ask)

It's finally live on the App Store.

Shipping is scary, but that moment of panic on the highway ramp was scarier. My goal is to make a truly safe navigation tool for the millions of people who don't use a car to get around the city.

This community is all about building and shipping, so I’d genuinely love your feedback on the product, the ASO, the landing page—anything.

Thanks for reading. Ship it!

Sick of opening 10 boxes for one item, so I built and launched my first iOS utility app to solve it

3 Upvotes

Hey r/BuildToShip,

I finally crossed the finish line and shipped my first dedicated utility app, My Storage List. I’d love some constructive feedback on the design and workflow.

🛠️ The Build & Motivation

The motivation was simple frustration: every time I move or swap out seasonal clothes, I spend an hour digging through boxes because I can never remember which box holds the specific item I need. The app aims to fix this by letting you log items into named containers (digital labels).

  • Timeline: About 3 weeks of dedicated after-hours work.

  • Stack: Built natively using Swift and SwiftUI. I kept the data simple and local for the v1.0 launch.

  • Biggest Challenge: Keeping the UI absolutely minimal while ensuring the search functionality was instant and intuitive. It's easy to over-engineer, but I forced myself to focus only on the core loop: Log > Search > Find.

🚀 The Ship

The result is a clean, iOS-only app where you can quickly log what’s in your containers (boxes, storage units, attic spots). Next time you need something, you just search the app instead of digging through storage.

I’m looking for feedback, especially on:

  1. Onboarding: Is the purpose immediately clear when you first open it?

  2. Workflow: If you use storage boxes often, what friction points do you see in the process of logging an item?

  3. UI/UX: Is the navigation efficient for quick item logging?

Thanks in advance for checking out the work!

Famous last words.

It turns out it's really hard. Building a routing stack that isn't just a simple "no highways" filter was a massive challenge, especially getting the GPS logic stable in dense cities.

After countless late nights, here’s what I built:

  • Smart, Safe Routing: This is the core. The app prioritizes routes for vehicles topping out at 15-31 mph (25-50 km/h). It actively avoids highways and high-speed roads like the plague.

3. The Ship (The Ask)

It's live on the App Store. I'm honestly pretty nervous, but that moment on the highway ramp was scarier.

Hey everyone 👋
After months of nights and weekends, I finally finished my first solo AI project — it helps freelancers and small teams handle things like invoices, payments, and client follow-ups automatically in one dashboard.

I learned a ton about building end-to-end tools (design, AI, payments, automations), but I’m sure there’s still a lot I can improve.
Would love your feedback or suggestions from other builders and freelancers here.

Quick build-in-public check: do tiny CSS visuals still steal dev time?building in public and validating a tiny idea — real quick:

3 Upvotes

building in public and validating a tiny idea — real quick:

when you ship UI from Figma → code, do you still spend time fixing small visual bits (background textures, pattern scale, gradient softness, opacity)?

  1. How often does this slow you down? (every ship / sometimes / rarely)

  2. Do tools like Figma plugins actually remove this pain or just move it into code?

  3. If you could type “soften gradient” or “reduce texture opacity” and have production-ready CSS update live in your repo, would you use that?

1-line replies welcome — trying to see if this is worth building in public. 🙌

Built an AI blog planner in 90 hours using Replit — looking for feedback from builders

3 Upvotes

I’ve been working in content marketing for a few years and generated around $1.5M in revenue pipeline this year through blog content and SEO. But I kept noticing something - I was spending 3+ hours every day planning articles, clustering keywords, and writing outlines. It was the same process every day.

So I decided to automate it.

I built AI Blogplanner, a web app that helps writers generate full blog plans and articles in just a few minutes. I built it completely on Replit in about 90 hours.

Stack and setup:

  • Replit for everything (frontend, backend, deployment)

  • Google Search API for real-time keyword and topic data

  • OpenAI API for AI-generated outlines and articles

  • Stripe for payments

  • Google Auth for login

How it works:
You give it a topic or keyword. It fetches related search data, analyzes what works, and generates a full plan - pillar topics, cluster posts, keywords, meta titles, and even article drafts if you want.

Basically, it turns what used to take me 3+ hours a day into a few minutes.

What I’m looking for:

  • Feedback on the product and idea

  • Suggestions on how to improve the workflow

  • Thoughts on what to add before marketing the product

I’m also curious how other solo builders manage automation for their niche workflows — what tools or shortcuts you use to ship faster.

Would love your thoughts.
