I was always thinking, how to make a impactble Product under $5000 & 2 Months.and that's when we came up with a idea of @boostreferral. I'll be investing $2500 - MVP development. $1500 - Marketing. $500 - Hosting I'll keep sharing updates here ✍️

@pcshipp Makes sense, free plans pad your download numbers, which feeds the ASO algorithm's ranking signals.

20 days ago, I completely removed the freemium plan from my app. Since then, my ASO growth has dropped significantly. If you want to grow your app through ASO, try offering at least a small free plan for users.

@hridoyreh Pick 3, ship, talk to users, then add tools as bottlenecks actually appear.

20 tools to build a SaaS: 1. ChatGPT - code, copy, strategy 2. Claude - long-form coding 3. Gemini - research and multi-tasking 4. Lovable - build full-stack apps 5. Bolt - generate and deploy apps 6. v0 - create React UIs 7. Cursor - prompt-driven coding 8. Windsurf - build features via chat 9. Replit - code and deploy 11. Supabase - auth, DB, storage 12. Firebase - backend and hosting 13. n8n - automate workflows 14. Make - no-code integrations 15. Zapier - connect apps 16. Framer - landing pages 17. Canva - graphics 18. Stripe - subscriptions and billing 19. Resend - transactional emails 20. PostHog - analytics

@yongfook AI didn't just lower the cost of building, it lowered the emotional ROI of shipping and marketing has always run on the builder's emotional fuel, not the feature itself.

I quietly launched Bannerbear V5 recently. Most significant upgrade in the last 4 years, new API and a bunch of cool new features like adaptive templates (throw any resolution in your API request and the template resizes automatically). Gotta say though, using AI this all feels like much less of an "occasion" or an accomplishment. Doesn't feel right to make a fanfare about it. I guess this is something I need to reconcile with myself in the future. But back when I was coding everything by hand there was a real sense of achievement - of relief actually - when something finally launched. It marked a real milestone in the product evolution. And a flurry of excited, genuinely motivated marketing activity would naturally follow that, as you were eager to get the word out and tell the world about the thing you have brought into the world, wrought with nothing but your skills and own two hands. Now you can reach those milestones every week if you want to, and with much less mental effort or required skillset than before. Perhaps this is why I'm seeing less people talk about their products. Less effort, less accomplishment, less motivation to do marketing. And the same is true on the audience side, nobody wants to hear about the 18th feature you added this week because you spent all day hammering Claude or creating some loop to build features for you. AI made building products easier, but it also made marketing harder.

What are you building this week?

@s_chiriac Curious what channel is driving the growth: is this compounding from one acquisition source, or starting to diversify?

🚀 I'm this close to hitting $2K revenue this month with my stealth app. 7 months ago it was just an idea. Today it's crossed $8K in total revenue. If I can break the $2K mark this month, it'll be a new milestone. And then... we aim even higher 📈 Let's go 🔥

@aryanlabde There's already an enormous amount of marketing SaaS out there, the gap is usually execution and trust, not the tool itself.

Why is nobody building a SaaS that helps with marketing? that’s what most people here would pay for.

@wickedguro Doubling MRR by tapping a channel your competitors ignore is the real lesson here, distribution beats features in saturated markets.

Postiz is on $135k MRR. But it was not always like that. I had to find many "ways" to get people in. I managed to get Postiz from 6k to 12k in one month! just before my daughter was born. It was a huge success! Since I was in the most flooded market out there (social media schedulers), I had to find a way to access new people that my competitors don't sell to. To do that, I had to find the channel to access them. And no, it was not X. Actually, you would not believe what the channel was. I talked about the channel and the psychology that goes behind it.

@kunalb11 From "why can't trust be rewarded" to leading the app 2 billion people trust with their conversations, that's a strangely coherent arc.

It’s been a minute. 2015–2018 - Exited FreeCharge. Spent time learning and investing. - Pondered about: Why can't trust be rewarded? Started with $1M of personal capital. - Launched CRED to reward people for paying credit card bills on time. 2019–2025 - Built a system run by a team that values ownership, judgment, and craft. - Grew from 0 to 17M members by aligning incentives with behaviour. - Built several products during COVID lockdowns. - Raised $900M+ from global investors. Did 4 ESOP buybacks. - Made Indiranagar and IPL ads slightly more interesting. - Received a full stack of regulatory licences. - Lost 35 kilos. - Scaled from 0 to ~$325M ( ~₹3,200 crore) in annual revenue across payments, lending, insurance, commerce, wealth, and credit cards. 2026 - First profitable quarter (yet occasionally asked what our business model is) - Raised another $900M from Meta in primary and secondary capital. - Announcing our 5th ESOP buyback. Today CRED is ready for its next phase. I am stepping back and @miten steps in as interim CEO, partnered with an incredibly talented team. He has been heading strategy and finance and suffering me since 2020. I’m stepping away from the operating role and will continue as a shareholder. My commitment doesn’t change. Just the role. Extremely grateful to our members, partners, regulators, and investors who made this possible. And to our board, Shailendra, Micky, Saurabh for their extraordinary conviction. Team CRED, I’ll still expect you to be a 10x version of yourselves. As for me, I’ll be joining Meta to lead WhatsApp globally. Meta comes in as a minority investor in CRED. No access to member data. While it’s come very far, the delta between WhatsApp today and its full potential is massive. I look forward to working with Mark, Chris, and the leadership across Meta for the next step in WhatsApp’s journey. Will, thank you for scaling something the world relies on quietly, and for making this transition smooth. Onwards.

@hridoyreh Yes, but quality matters way more than quantity now.

Are backlinks still powerful?

@tibo_maker That's a genuinely smart proxy metric, spontaneous swearing is unfiltered emotional signal in a way "satisfaction score: 4.2/5" never is.

Anthropic counts how many times people swear 🤣 they call it the fu*ks chart an engineer pitched it, and it stuck as a real signal for whether people actually like the thing funniest and smartest way to benchmark a product I've seen ref: Lenny's pod with Fiona Fung

@marclou @jessethanley @Bento The real unlock isn't the 4-hour workday, it's that he built Bento for his own agency first.

I met OG indie hacker @jessethanley in Japan 🇯🇵 He's living such a crazy life, and I don't know where to start, so here are random facts: - He's running his SaaS @Bento solo and makes a ridiculous amount of money - Unlike most founders, he knows how much is enough and works 4 hours/day - He started indie hacking in 2015 - He ran a marketing agency for 5 years before building a product - His SaaS was profitable from day 0 because he built it for his agency. - He designed his SaaS with a real human touch, and it feels like you're entering his world when you sign up - He taught himself how to code (pre-AI) - He speaks Japanese and has lived in Japan for 7 years - Being a dad made him more productive, not less - He bench presses 135kg - He's happy, positive, kind, and a great conversationalist Thanks for showing us around, Jesse 🙇❤️

@romanbuildsaas That math is the part to scrutinize, not the screenshot.

A single LinkedIn post brought me $10k+ in MRR This is not clickbait. Time spent writing: 15 minutes Views: 148,000 Free trials generated in 24 hours: 350+ Trial-to-paid conversion rate: 40% New customers: 140 New MRR: 140 × $99 = $13,860 I wrote a guide explaining exactly how you can do the same. Comment "LK" and I'll send it to you.

the GPU Landscape for Local LLMs: AMD vs. NVIDIA As the debate between AMD and NVIDIA rages on, many users are torn between brand loyalty and actual performance metrics. Have you tried both for running local LLMs? Here's what we're seeing: - VRAM Capacity vs. Speed: NVIDIA generally excels in processing speed, but AMD offers GPUs with higher VRAM at more affordable prices, crucial for handling extensive local LLMs. - Cost Constraints: In regions like India, NVIDIA cards with sufficient VRAM can be prohibitively expensive, making AMD a viable alternative for budget-conscious users. - Practical Use Cases: For those focused on coding and project file summarization, performance might hinge more on cost-effective VRAM capacity than raw processing speed. - Market Availability: Availability issues with NVIDIA might push many towards AMD, but does this compromise performance in standard tasks? More users sharing hands-on experiences could illuminate the true performance trade-offs. Have you compared these GPUs for your specific needs?

What's one business process you wish you had fixed earlier?

The true test of a business isn't how it performs during growth. It's how it performs when growth slows.

One of the most dangerous things in business: Mistaking growth for operational excellence. Revenue can hide a lot of mistakes. Eventually, growth slows. The mistakes remain.

What's the last thing a customer told you that changed your product roadmap?

Most customers don't care how the magic works. They care that it works.

Hot take: The AI startups that win won't have the best AI. They'll have the best understanding of customer problems. Technology gets attention. Customer understanding gets revenue.
