@ScottShapiroUXD The "cut something before you added something" line is the one most teams skip. Adding is dopamine, cutting is discipline. The stack stays light only if subtraction is a habit, not a quarterly cleanup.

Goodnight to every builder who ran a real test today instead of scheduling one. Goodnight to every operator who cut something before they added something. The stack is lighter. The filter held. Tomorrow's firehose will be waiting.

The honest answer to "where do my recordings live" should not be "our servers, indefinitely, trust us." Walkthrough videos live on your own Google Drive. You own the file. You own the off switch.

@FzLightning Local + offline is the right call for a file converter. Half the cloud-based ones are just an upload step with extra latency. Good luck with the launch Fawaz, months of work compresses into one day, hope it lands.

After months of building, debugging, redesigning, and learning, ConverrtAny officially launches in 1 hour 🚀 A local offline file converter supporting 200+ formats across videos, audio, documents, images, and archives. producthunt.com/products/conve… #buildinpublic #indiehackers

@sriram3720 @RankOrgAI Going from 0 to 1 is the part nobody talks about because the numbers look unimpressive on a screenshot. But the first 25 users teach you more than the next 2,500. The graph compounds, the lessons compound faster.

✅ 1st Month Report for @RankOrgAI (May 2026) DR: 0 -> 15 Total Visits: 0 -> 289 Total Users: 0 -> 25 Google Impressions: 0 -> 215 Search Clicks: 0 -> 11 Small numbers, but going from 0 to 1 is the best part of building. #BuildInPublic #SEO

@AvinashSingh_20 Helping people record their Mac screen without having to pay every month and giving them the full control of their recorded videos without storing those recorded videos on our cloud.

What problem is your SaaS solving?

Eid Mubarak to everyone celebrating today. 🌙

Year one of building has been less about shipping fast and more about staying honest. Not lying about features that aren't ready. Not pretending the team is bigger than it is. Not promising a roadmap I can't deliver. Boring. Slow. The only version that lasts.

The best software I've used recently has all been small. Made by 1-3 people. Sold for a one-time price or a fair flat fee. No login wall before the demo. No "talk to sales." The industry isn't moving this direction. A handful of builders are. Worth watching who.

My brother and I ship together. He writes the code, I do everything else. Bug fixes happen in hours, not sprints. No standups, no Jira, no roadmap deck. Two people, one product, one Slack channel. This is the size that lets you actually care.

Most software problems are actually pricing problems. The product works fine. The trial-to-paid pattern is hostile. The seat tax punishes growth. The "Enterprise" tier hides the real price. Build the same thing. Charge differently. Different company.

Six months ago I was a pharmacist running country operations for humanitarian medical supply chains. Today I ship software for a living. The transferable skill isn't code. It's caring about whether the thing actually works for the person using it.

Agreed. Pricing is product is the right frame. The other thing it does: it filters your early users. A $1 charge attracts people who actually have the problem. Free attracts people who collect tools and never open them again. The first 10 paying users teach you more than 1,000 signups.

Founder pitched me: "We'll figure out monetization later." Sweet summer child. The best founders I've met charge from day one — even $1. Pricing is product. If no one pays, you don't have a startup. You have a hobby with a logo.

Edit a Walkthrough video after sharing it. Everyone who has the link sees the new version. Same URL. No re-sending. No "v2_final.mp4."

@vaaselene Congratulations & keep growing.

best email to start the week 🚀

A screen recorder for Mac + Chrome extension, without any monthly subscription. Just pay once and record unlimited videos for lifetime. Video stores on your own drive. No vendor cloud no card on file. Try once, if you dont find it useful even after 2 weeks of usage, send us an email and get your refund. Link is in bio.

What are you working on this week?

Subscription software taught a whole generation that owning the tools you use every day is suspicious. It used to be the default.

@neerajjj6785 Looking for the ideas to on how to promote the apps and get the real first users?

Solo founders, how do you promote your apps?

@sophie_launch I did actually. Two days ago. Not a single website visitor on website from your platform. Is there anything wrong I did while listing there? Just wanted to make it correct to get the most out of it. How can I do that ?

Building in public? Put your product where 45k founders will actually see it → Link in bio I feature the best submissions weekly. No cost.

Walkthrough records your screen, your camera, or both. Picks the right mic. Handles the resolution. Saves the file. Boring on purpose. The interesting part is what happens after you stop recording.
