@TVanWelsenes I'm excited to see where this goes and to share my continyed progress as well! I've already begun applying your recommendations and it's shaping up quite nicely! 🚀🚀

@She_Codes_It My pleasure Tessa! You've got a very solid base to grow from, excited to where you will bring Subroast to!!🚀 Wish you the best and thanks for sharing it🙏

⚡️ Builder Spotlight 002 ⚡️ SubRoast: an AI Reddit growth tool for founders. Build by @She_Codes_It, find it on subroast.com👇 Scans subreddits, extracts pain points from posts, classifies leads by buyer intent, and drafts personalised outreach. All before you type a word. ✅ Stunning dark design, professional and clean ✅ Big painpoint for many builders, you are stepping into a problem that has significant demand, finding leads through platforms such as Reddit ✅ Free during beta, no credit card, that's awesome for onboarding early users! Feedback: 📌 Hero headline is long, hard to grasp instantly, shorten it 📌 "How it works" would improve with a demo video or GIF, text alone can be unclear for many users 📌 Competitive space (Trigify, Leadbird etc.), make your edge crystal clear up front Thanks for sharing @she_codes_it, love the work and excited to see how this grows further! Keep rocking it!!🚀🚀🚀

@TVanWelsenes Thanks so much! This absolutely let me know I'm on the right track! The road to my first 100 users begins! 🎉🎉🎉

@She_Codes_It Awesome Tessa!! Your crushing it!! Was great to checkout your product, thanks for sharing it on the ⚡️Builder Spotlight⚡️!

⚡️ Builder Spotlight on SubRoast ⚡️ honestly didn’t expect this 😅 building in public for 15 days and already getting: → signups from X 🎉 → real user feedback 🎉 → evergreen feature on EverFeatured 🎉 → first organic Discord user 🎉 → now this 🚀🚀🚀 #buildinpublic

@theobar0 Exactly! Based on what you shared, it sounds like this could save you time connecting you with folks ready to buy. If you're still interested in giving it a try, visit subroast.com and let me know what you think good or bad!

@She_Codes_It this is it, keywords show interest, language shows intent. the real gold is catching people mid-problem, not after they’ve “researched” it to death.

@theobar0 → whether they’re actively trying to solve something vs just talking That’s what I use to classify buyer intent Still refining it, but it’s already changing how I approach outreach completely

@theobar0 Solid question! This is actually the core problem I’m solving b/c most tools match keywords but that doesn’t tell you if someone actually needs help I look for signals like: → “I need…” / “any recommendations?” → frustration or urgency in the post

@UIDesignWizard Sorry I thought I replied! Thanks to your help, I do see the page reshaping in a new direction! 🎉 and it's telling the story clearly as well! ✨️✨️ I can only imagine how many sites need a proper audit. Feel free to use mine as an example for content in your guide!

Yeah, that’s exactly it. AI tends to give you something that sounds complete, but not always something that’s easy to grasp quickly. Clarity usually comes from stripping things down to the simplest possible idea, then building from there. Once the core is obvious, everything else on the page starts to make more sense naturally. This is actually where most of the hidden improvements are. I’m breaking a lot of this down in the guide as well, because it shows up in so many subtle ways.

Day 6 building my SaaS. I'm testing a dashboard that finds leads in Reddit, generates DMs, and writes high-converting posts. Second version of three screens (below): • Dashboard • DM generator • AI roast feedback Curious about first impressions, what feels confusing?

🏗 Working on: • IP-related bug blocking auto lead syncs

Day 15 building my SaaS 🔥 ✅ Shipped: • Buyer intent tiers • Improved mobile tap feedback • Fixes for onboarding/form issues • Stronger Discord guardrails to keep feedback high-signal 🚀 Traction: • Multiple signups in a few hours from X • First organic Discord member

@CiprianiRanieri Open to any feedback on what i can do to the app!

@yusukelp @_zidkim Hey! I'm actually working on a SaaS to surface ready buyers on Reddit. Would love to check out your microsaas when it's launched! Maybe we can bounce ideas off of one another or even collaborate

@_zidkim interesting, didn’t expect yc to be that engaging i’m mostly on microsaas but still figuring out how to convert properly lol

In 2026, building a SaaS is not the hard part. Distribution is. If I launched today, these are the Reddit subreddits I’d study and post in first: r/Entrepreneur (5.1M) r/startups (2.0M) r/EntrepreneurRideAlong (659K) r/SideProject (649K) r/SaaS (612K) r/startup (270K) r/Startup_Ideas (258K) r/ycombinator (174K) r/microsaas (169K) r/indiehackers (156K) r/Entrepreneurship (126K) r/Entrepreneurs (119K) r/growmybusiness (90K) r/advancedentrepreneur (70K) r/buildinpublic (69K) r/micro_saas (67K) r/StartupAccelerators (32K) r/startup_resources (32K) r/indiebiz (32K) r/startupideas (30K) r/roastmystartup (25K) r/SaaSMarketing (24K) The game is not just “post more.” It’s finding where your product actually belongs. Which one has been best for you?

@theobar0 subroast.com

@theobar0 Exactly, you got it! Let me know if you'd like to try it out for free. I'm in the early stages of shaping it up with feedback like yours!

@Idcoop_discrupt @PitchToProduct Thanks! Feel free to signup for free if ya want. It's totally free as I'm in the early stages of gathering feedback

@She_Codes_It @PitchToProduct Interesting SaaS! :)

Stop networking. Start helping each other win. If you’re building something right now: don’t just say “let’s connect” say what you need: → first users → feedback → co-founder → distribution And if you comment, help at least 1 person here. That’s how products actually grow.

@TVanWelsenes Wonderful! Looking forward to your first impressions and any suggestions as well!

@She_Codes_It Nice! Thanks for sharing, will look at it!

@Techexplor25435 @PitchToProduct Anytime! I just signed up too!

@She_Codes_It @PitchToProduct Thanks for the review, I will update it to wrap it correctly

@Techexplor25435 @PitchToProduct I checked out your app! I really like this idea and can see myself using it to find new opportunities. I noticed that on mobile each of the result cards are clipped making it hard to view all the content
