21. Solo dev. 0 followers. Starting from scratch. Goal: £10k MRR in 12 months building SaaS products. No team. No VC. Just shipping, solving problems and seeing what sticks. First product is live soon. Posting everything, the wins, the flops, the numbers.

How much do software companies actually rely on AI for development nowadays?

SaaS is so easy Until you try getting your first paying users.

B2B or B2C?? Which is harder

If AI lowers the barrier to building… does execution become less valuable or even more valuable?

Solo devs… Do you actually make branches and merge or just push straight to main?

How do people post so much on here what do you even say

@0xPrajwal_ Depends how much you got saved up

Which is better ? > 9-5 with a high salary > Owning your own startup (early stage).

SaaS people, Where are the best places to do marketing for B2B?

@Im_IrushiK Assembly

New to programming, What language should I learn with these specs?

First SaaS I’m building: IntelBoard Analytics platform that connects to tools like GitHub/Jira to create visuals The primary focus is using key metrics to measure the impact of AI With points of interest (e.g. Claude adoption date), measure how performance changes in real time

@hridoyreh I was considering doing free trials on launch, why do you recommend the opposite?

Advice if you're building a SaaS in 2026: 1. Offer Google login. 2. Forget free trials, charge from day 1. 3. 80% marketing, 20% product. 4. Market shamelessly. 5. Keep only essential features in MVP. 6. Use your own product often. 7. Talk to your users. 8. Retention is more important. 9. Price based on value, not competition. 10. Landing page should be credible. 11. Respect the unsubscribers. 12. Don’t stop at $10K if $100K is possible. 13. Move on if your product fails. Most don't fail because of bad ideas. They fail because they give up...

Is it worth pre-selling and/or marketing a SaaS product before finishing development on an MVP?

@itahmadawais Appreciate the advice brother. Got any advice on how to validate the market? Thanks again

@ellisdevss Validate the market an don't stress on adding too many features.
