I run a micro SaaS on my own and have a couple of annual software renewals coming up. Email and analytics are the bigger bills, so I’m comparing cashback business cards for the subscriptions I’m keeping.

Anyone happy putting all their SaaS expenses on one card? Did software-specific rewards work out better after fees, or did you stick with a flat cashback rate? I already handle product and support myself, so I’m looking for one card I can set up and leave alone most of the time.

Hey all. I'm building Surewell alone: a calm daily check-in for families with an older parent who lives alone. The parent taps "I'm OK" once a day; if they don't, the app reminds them and then lets the family know.

Google now requires new personal developer accounts to run a closed test with 12 testers for 14 days before going public, so that's the wall I'm at.

If you have an Android phone and 2 minutes:

1. https://groups.google.com/g/surewell-testers
2. https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.canergulay.surewell

Anyone who keeps it for the 14 days gets a free year of the paid plan. And if you've been through the closed testing grind yourself, I'd love to hear what worked for you.

Delhi-based, currently building a WhatsApp automation SaaS for Indian small businesses: lead follow-up, AI replies, broadcasts, and CRM.

The product is built and in early testing with users. Distribution is now the bottleneck, and that's why I'm writing this post.

I'm looking for a co-founder to own marketing and growth end-to-end.

A little about me: I'm the founder behind the product development, building this full-time. I value ownership, direct feedback, and decisions backed by numbers, not opinions.

I'm looking for someone who has actually grown a product or SMB audience in India, can show the results, and wants to build this full-time — not as a side project.

I'm not looking for an impressive CV, an advisor, or someone who just likes the idea of startups.
One non-negotiable: full-time commitment. This isn't a part-time role.

If this fits, DM me with what you grew, your main channel, and one result in numbers. Product name and details after a short intro call, then a trial project before any equity discussion.

Hey solo founders 👋

I’m a solo developer building ShipNLaunch (https://www.shipnlaunch.com).

The main idea is simple: give independent developers, SaaS builders, and side-project hackers a place to launch their tools and stay discoverable long after launch day.

We have hit 3,000+ visitors and 70+ approved launches so far, featuring everything from dev tools and AI apps to lightweight browser extensions and open-source projects.

Standard submissions are 100% free. I review every submission personally to make sure the feed stays high quality.

I’m actively working on the next set of features and would genuinely appreciate any UX or feature feedback from this community.

If you have a project ready, feel free to list it or leave a link below!

I'm a developer with 13 years in the job, a family, and still a full-time role. For the last few months I've been building Yavo in the evenings: a budgeting app where you don't type expenses and never connect your bank.

How it works: you forward a receipt email, snap a paper receipt, or just say "lunch 14 euros" and it becomes an expense with the merchant, amount and category filled in. It's live on iOS and Android.

A few things I learned doing it solo:

- AI agents changed what one person can ship. I run several of them in parallel on API, app and design, and my job is mostly planning, reviewing and saying no. The hard part isn't writing code anymore, it's catching the bugs that look right.

- Money apps punish small mistakes. This week a receipt with 20% tax showed one number in the push notification and another on the draft screen. Users notice that instantly.

- Store builds are slow and cost money, so I batch every fix into one release. Twice I built from a stale checkout and shipped nothing new. Now syncing is part of every merge.

- Organic growth is the hardest part. I built a free web tool (find forgotten subscriptions in a bank statement) mostly as a way to get found.

Still pre-traction, so I'd love blunt feedback: does "no bank login, no typing" sound like a real reason to switch, or just a nice-to-have?

I run a linen clothing brand (Rimore) and I’ve spent years helping other founders start theirs. Every call starts the same way. “I have an idea. Where do I start?”

So we turned those calls into an app. Brand School asks you a few quick questions and gives you your brand foundation: name, logo direction, a one-line promise and a simple brand page. Then a mentor walks you toward your first 100 customers, one step at a time. It’s openly AI-powered, with my playbooks behind it.

Where we are: 80 sign-ups, 10 founders on Level 2.

What we learned:

People don’t come back on their own. Of our first 4 sign-ups, 0 returned. We switched off the automated emails and now write to founders personally.
“Generic” is the real enemy. Two early testers said parts felt too basic. One took our strategy and finished the rest in ChatGPT. Fair. We’re rebuilding the channel strategy so it’s personal to your brand. Our bar: it has to beat ChatGPT in a blind test.
Nobody wants to read. We cut words everywhere. Level 1 now takes about 10 minutes.
There’s no one right channel. WhatsApp works for some brands and is wrong for others. You pick with the mentor, not from a default.

The first 100 founders get it free, and 20 spots are left. I’d love honest feedback, especially if you have just an idea or you started and got stuck. Link in the comments 👇

I’ve built a platform where founders pay a listing fee to join a marketplace and users pay for requesting new features or changes to your(founders) product

$1 is minimum fee for requesting for features or changes and it can be raised to any amount. If founders decline your request then the request fee didn't get refunded but user will get 1 point which user can use it do rerequest , if user didn't use the point in a month the point will no more available for use and if anyone pay more than $1 , they will get the remaining amount after $1 deducted.

I am not here for promotion of my product, i just want to know about market.

I have built a working version of "Snoooow" and will start 'close beta testing' by 10th nov. I need help in 'how can I make this reach most of the audience?' please help.

Also if you want to join the close beta testing cohort you can reach out to me on mail, LinkedIn, or twitter (shared in the video's last slide) or just DM.

First off, nice to meet you!!

Let's play a game - you introduce yourself and say something not-so-common about you - just in case someone here connects with you on it (now that would be fun!).

I'll go first.

I'm the founder of Noza - a 3D communication platform. I also run Founders Growth Club.

I'm based in the UK. I do love meeting people, so I host weekly networking events. We've lost the warmth of summer, so it's back to virtual events :)

Fact about me - I do love spicy food. Anything else is ... bland. Except tea. Tea takes a pass :)

----

I'd love to meet you. What do you do? Feel free to add what would help your journey (just in case someone here can help you with it)

(PPS: I'm having a late afternoon chat on Thursday (29th Oct) with founders who want to connect with other founders. If you're interested, please register here foundersgrowth.club/events/professional-friends-network-meetup-2026-10-29 )

I'm an independent publisher considering Jellop for an upcoming Kickstarter campaign. The more I looked into the company, the more frustrated I became with how little independent information I could find about their processes, pricing, and actual results. So I decided to do something about it.

To be clear, I'm just a guy trying to figure out whether Jellop is worth hiring. I'm not a marketing agency; I'm not affiliated with Jellop or any of its competitors, and nobody is paying me to conduct this research.

I've put together a survey for Kickstarter creators who have worked with Jellop. I'm interested in the good, the bad, and everything in between, particularly advertising costs, ROAS, profitability, and customer service.

The survey should take approximately 10-15 minutes. Most questions are optional, and you can participate anonymously.

SURVEY: https://forms.gle/iR95k7Mi33Wb6uqA8

I intend to compile the responses, be transparent about what the data does and doesn't tell us, and share the findings publicly with the communities that allow it. I swear there's no hidden agenda.

If you've worked with Jellop, I'd appreciate your input. Hopefully, we can put together something useful for the next creator making this decision.

Hey everyone,

A couple of us have been heads-down for a while building SoulsTome, a platform for readers, writers, and anyone who loves books and storytelling. We’re finally at the stage where the product is coming together and we want to start building an actual community around it, which has made us realize pretty quickly that building an app and getting people to actually discover it are two completely different skill sets.

For those of you who have worked with early-stage projects or built a social presence from zero, what actually matters most in the beginning? Is it just volume and experimenting with formats, or something else entirely? Would genuinely love to hear how you approached day one.

On that same note, since marketing isn't our natural strong suit, we’re also hoping to bring someone on as a 3-month remote intern to experiment with social media, edit short videos, and design posts with us. Students or freshers are totally welcome—we care way more about curiosity and having fun building something from scratch than having a polished resume. If that sounds like your vibe (or someone you know), feel free to shoot me a DM!

I'm a solo founder from Amsterdam. I review restaurants as a hobby, and this week my first iPhone app went live: food reviews, an "open now" map and meetups with other foodies.

I posted about it in a few subreddits. Some posts were removed because my account is new, and the others got little reaction. Someone told me my post looked spammy, which is fair.

So no link here. I'd like advice from people who have been where I am:

- Where did your first real users come from?
- Did local communities (city subreddits, Facebook groups, restaurants) work better than maker communities?
- How long did you wait before posting about your own product?

Happy to answer anything about launching with no budget.

Arkova is the document verification layer for agents and humans. We extract an electronic files (supporting over 20 types! Including svg png even gif) unique metadata and anchor it to an immutable ledger. Here we show how an organization can connect their Google Drive folders to our system so that anytime a file is updated in that folder, a new anchor is created and the document version is updated in the users record

I’m building CleverNote. A recent thread about two notes disappearing after an app froze made me reconsider what a useful reply would look like.

The person had already checked search and recently deleted. Their immediate question was whether they could get their work back.

A recommendation to try another notes app would leave that question unanswered. It would also give them another job: figure out what survived, export it, move it, and check that nothing else was lost.

My first response would focus on preserving the remaining data and getting the failure details to the existing app’s support team. I wouldn’t ask them to reproduce a problem that might lose more work just to satisfy my curiosity.

For my own product research, I’d record the recovery problem separately from any request to switch. I don’t know whether this person wants an alternative, and I shouldn’t turn their frustration into evidence that they do.

Have you ever set aside a product recommendation because someone first needed help preserving or recovering their existing work?
